After 35 years on display in a museum, this black-on-black 1967 Pontiac GTO is for sale at Vicari Auction as Lot F905 at the Biloxi Fall 2026 auction, held October 8–10 during Cruisin’ the Coast on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Restored to what the consignor describes as museum quality, numbers matching and offered from just three owners, it is one of the most compelling Goats on this year’s run list.
The Year the Goat Grew Up
For many Pontiac people, 1967 is the sweet spot of the first-generation GTO. It kept the crisp Coke-bottle body introduced in 1966 but brought meaningful changes underneath: the 389 gave way to a new 400-cubic-inch V8, and the old two-speed automatic was replaced by the three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic. Up front, a new grille and revised trim gave the ’67 its own identity, one that still looks purposeful from across a show field. See the full Vicari listing and photo gallery.
The paperwork starts at the cowl. The listed VIN, 242177K106042, decodes the way a GTO buyer hopes it will: the 242 prefix identifies the GTO series, 17 denotes the two-door hardtop body, 7 marks the 1967 model year and K points to Pontiac’s Kansas City assembly plant. The consignor lists the car as numbers matching, the single detail that does the most to separate a top-tier GTO from an ordinary one. Check the VIN and lot details on the Vicari Auction page.
Museum-Quality Restoration
The seller calls this Goat “absolutely amazing” with a laser-straight body, and the photos support the claim. The black paint holds clean, undistorted reflections down the flanks, panel gaps look even, and the chrome and louvered taillight trim appear crisp. Black is the least forgiving color there is, which makes the finish here all the more impressive. View more exterior photos of Lot F905.
Open the hood and the presentation continues. The engine bay is tidy and correctly detailed, with the Pontiac V8 finished in its familiar blue and the air cleaner, hoses and wiring dressed the way a concours-minded restorer would lay them out. Mechanical specifics are not spelled out in the listing, so interested bidders can confirm engine and transmission codes during their inspection at the auction site. See the engine bay photos in the Vicari listing.
His and Hers in Black
Inside, the black interior is as sharp as the exterior, and it carries one of the most charming options of the era: the “His and Hers” automatic. Pontiac’s Hurst Dual-Gate shifter let the driver leave the Turbo Hydra-Matic in Drive for relaxed cruising or slip over to the second gate and pick each gear manually. Power brakes and air conditioning round out a GTO equipped for comfortable touring rather than just straight-line bragging rights. Take a closer look at the interior on Vicari Auction.
35 Years Behind the Velvet Rope
What sets this car apart from the many restored GTOs on the market is where it has been. According to the listing, it has spent the last 35 years in a museum, which means limited use, protected storage and a restoration that has not been worn down by decades of weekend driving. The gallery also includes photos of the car in storage, a nice glimpse into its quieter chapter. As with any car that has been static for a long time, a sensible buyer will plan on fresh fluids and a once-over of brakes and fuel system before enjoying it on the road. Browse the storage photos in the full listing.
Ownership history is short, too. The GTO is offered as a three-owner car, and the trunk photos show boxes of paperwork and parts traveling with it. For collectors, a clear chain of custody paired with supporting documents is often worth as much at resale as the shine on the paint. See the included items in the Vicari Auction photos.
Why It Matters to Collectors
Pontiac built more than 80,000 GTOs for 1967, so a ’67 by itself is not rare. What is scarce is the combination on offer here: numbers matching, three owners, a museum-grade restoration and more than three decades of protected storage. That is the profile of a car bought for the long term, not flipped. MCC readers following the Biloxi sale have already seen a 1970 GTO in Granada Gold and a red 1958 Chevrolet Impala on the docket, and another 1967 GTO recently crossed the block at Henderson Auctions, a useful point of comparison for bidders. Compare this GTO for yourself on the Vicari listing.
Lot F905 crosses the block during Vicari’s three-day Collector Car Auction at Cruisin’ the Coast. Bidders can register on site once through the gates or sign up to bid online, and Vicari notes that buyers should rely on their own personal inspection at the auction site. For a black 1967 GTO with this story, that inspection is likely to be time well spent. Register to bid and view Lot F905 at Vicari Auction.
