1967 Pontiac GTO Full Restoration at V8 Speed and Resto Shop
1967 Pontiac GTO Restoration and Unveiling Video V8 Speed and Resto Shop GTO Full Build - www.v8speedsho...
This 1967 GTO Restomod frame off restoration started with a car that looked like it had been dragged out of a swamp. This '67 GTO was originally Tyrol Blue with a black vinyl top, a black bucket seat interior, the Pontiac 400 for barrel V8 under the hood, and was coupled to a turbo 400 automatic transmission. The car was built with factory installed air conditioning, power brakes, and power steering. However, over time, this 67 GTO badly rusted and deteriorated and was in need of a total restoration.

Once the car arrived at the V8 Speed & Resto Shop, our team evaluated the car and disassembled it, and started building the restoration plan. The '67 GTO frame required repairs on the body mounts, and a few other places, and the chassis was restored with Epoxy primer and industrial paint finishes. The V8 crew installed a complete BMR fabrication tubular suspension system, similar to what would be seen on Chevelles, Oldsmobile 442s, Buick GS's, and other GM A-Body platform cars. The suspension system will allow the car to handle and perform better than originally, without sacrificing a comfortable ride.
The 1967 GTO body was media blasted, and the V8 Speed and Resto Shop fabrication shop went to work, replacing the quarter panels, installing a new trunk floor, replacing the cabin floor, repairing the dashboard, building a custom, firewall, replacing rocker panels, and much more. Once our 1967 Pontiac GTO’s rust and damage repairs were completed, it went into our body shop where all the panels were fitted perfectly, and sanded to perfection.
Meanwhile, our mechanical team refreshed the Pontiac 400 V8 and topped it with a FiTech fuel injection system for improved performance and reliability. The V8 Speed & Resto Shop paint department sprayed the GTO in a fresh two-stage Tyrol Blue, creating a show car quality paint finish with clear coat a mile deep.
The V8 Speed & Resto Shop’s Interior department restored the bucket seats, stripping the seats and repairing the frames, installing new seat foam and wrapping them with new reproduction seat covers. The V8 interior shop also refurbished the door panels, the dashboard, headliner, and all the various elements inside the car, and installed a new carpet.
Once the new fresh paint job was wet sanded and buffed to mirror perfection, the interior shop, crew installed a new vinyl top and began reassembling everything inside the car. This included a dashboard filled with gauges from Dakota Digital and a sound system from Custom Autosound, air conditioning from Vintage Air, and reproduction dashboard trim and console details.
The crew installed a Magnaflow stainless exhaust system to make the Pontiac 400 V8 engine, sing, and new wheels and tires were installed. Trim pieces from OPGI or use throughout the car to make everything crisp and new. The V8 Speed & Resto Shop team did amazing job restoring his car from start to finish, and you would not recognize it as being the same car and looking at the final product.
But perhaps one of the greatest satisfaction of this restoration was presenting the car to the owners at the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals show in Chicago! The team unveiled the car to the owners and their family, and then the MCACN judges took over and scrutinized the car. It was judged in the Street Modified class, scoring 997 out of 1000 possible points! Our team is grateful for the opportunity to restore such a cool 1967 GTO for very nice people, and the Blue Ribbon was appreciated!

Absolutely beautiful, I wouldnt even want to drive it, well maybe
This is beautiful. Those 3 points were probably because you used the black PMD center caps instead of the sassy red ones. 😂😂☠️☠️
Absolutely a beautiful restoration. It definitely looks better than new. In 1969 I took a 1965 GTO for a test drive it had tri-power (3 carbs) and was screaming fast. Low miles $1500.00. I did not buy because I had just wrecked my car. I I bought a 1966 Chevelle instead

Nice new channel, and great work being done on the car. I subscribed and are hoping for more videos.
Love the restoration….perfect in every sense!!!! Those cars definitely needed disc brakes. Don’t know how many dog houses had to replace because couldn’t get slowed down. Had a rare ram air car….yes the looves on the hood opened via electric and vacuum. Some say the car was never built. Teal green metallic, black vinyl top…oyster interior. 3:90 limited slip, his and hers duel gate shifter with the 670 performance heads. The engine was freshened by a local machine shop and best time was 7:98 in an 1/8 mile with the turbo 400 mid ‘70s
It is a beautiful color.
Pretty amazing what talented craftsmen can do when they come together! Beautiful!!!

That would be a hard decision for me pertaining to having the new paint job, which is awesome! But, that patina is beautiful as well. My first thought is, can it be clear coated.

Patina is one thing, major rust holes in the structure is another. Although we see it now and then, we're not a big fan of cleared patina. Sometimes you can use linseed oil to richen and protect the patina, it's much more natural looking.

@V8SpeedShop totally agree with the rust. Linseed oil ? I did not know that, thank you, I learned something new. I have loved rust/ patine and a hint of original color since I was a kid. i loved it when rat rods and bikes became more common. But, your paint job was beautiful!!!
Absolutely stunning, the paint looks like glass, I love the 67 tailights, I have seen these total frame off`s and I realize the cost of sheet metal, suspension and the rest. I mean you can be at 50k with the metal and suspension, are we looking at a 100k car, or more, very curious, because it came in a wreck. I know labor is a fortune on this metal fabrication, it had sentimental value, but i`m curious does the resto cost outweight the cars worth, it sure got a lot of points, damn near perfection. I subbed right after watching.
