Muscle-car royalty crosses the block this weekend: a gleaming red 1967 Pontiac GTO coupe is for sale from Henderson Auctions this weekend, offered as Lot #1025 in the Collector Motor Series sale at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama. It is exactly the kind of car that makes a Saturday night auction worth circling on the calendar: a genuine GTO hardtop in the timeless red-over-black combination, carrying the 389-cubic-inch V8 and the factory options collectors actually chase.
Pontiac’s 1967 restyle gave the GTO one of its best faces, with stacked quad headlights flanking a blacked-out grille and that unmistakable split-nose beak. On this Henderson Auctions listing, the chrome is bright, the bumpers are straight and the deep red paint shows the kind of shine that looks even better in person than it does on screen.
Under that signature hood sits the heart of the legend, the desirable 389-cubic-inch V8 backed by an automatic transmission that makes this Goat as easy to cruise as it is to enjoy at full throttle. The engine bay in the Henderson Auctions gallery presents as an honest, well-kept driver rather than an over-restored trailer queen, which is exactly what makes a car like this so much fun to own.
Slide inside and the black cabin is all 1960s Pontiac theater: woodgrain dash trim, a full sweep of round gauges, a period radio and a slim three-spoke wheel with the arrowhead at its hub. Better still, the equipment list on the auction page includes factory air conditioning, power steering and power brakes, so this is a muscle car you can actually drive on a July afternoon.
Documentation is where good muscle cars separate themselves, and this one still wears its Pontiac body plate stamped 242177Z116014, the 242 series that GTO buyers look for first. Prospective bidders can read the VIN and study more than 100 catalog photos on the Lot #1025 listing before the hammer falls, and the Saturday preview is there for anyone who wants to inspect it in the flesh.
Details matter, too. Rally-style wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/A white-letter tires give the car its correct period stance, the trim and rocker moldings look crisp, and the fender gaps are tight all the way around. Zoom through the high-resolution photos in the ad and you will find the kind of walkaround detail that usually requires a plane ticket.
With a strong 389 V8, an easy-driving automatic, the right colors and desirable factory options, this GTO lines up as one of the more tempting buys of the weekend, and it will be sold in front of the crowd at Barber during the SRO GT races. Bidding is open to registered buyers live on site, online, through the Henderson Auctions app or by absentee bid, so register to bid on Lot #1025 before Saturday night.
Henderson Auctions Collector Motor Series is open for consignments and bidder registration.
