On "My Car Story" we're in the Western Suburbs of Chicago IL on 5-4-24.
We're looking at a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible in Mariner Turquoise Paint. The car comes with the 400 CI V8 engine and an Hurst His and Hers automatic transmission.
The car's Owner is Dan Gallas. Dan’s had this car since 2020. Dan shares he and his Brother were always Pontiac Guys and he had a 1970’s Trans Am, however he always wanted a GTO. Well years later the opportunity arose and here we are in the GTO enjoying a fun ride with you.

This is a true car collectors dream. Beautiful car. This is what Pontiac excitement was truly about.

What a great looking and great driving GTO! It is definitely in the right hands (and foot!) with Mr. Gallas. I don't think the dust will have a chance to settle on this car... Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Glad to be able to share the ride with you. You're welcome, Lou
1967 was a great year for all the cars produced, especially all the muscle cars, of which my favorite has bern and always will be the '67 Vette! Save the Wave Lou.
Hi Peter, Here is that 1967 Vette you enjoy :-) czcams.com/video/31T98s4y08w/video.html
My mom and dad were born that year 1967

For GTO's...give me a '67. It is my favorite year for this model. I live on a dead-end street, very quiet. My neighbor bought a '65 GTO for his college age son. However, it's a stick and the kid cannot drive it and didn't want to learn how. It now sists in his garage. He seldom drives it, but when he does...I hear it! The kid moved on, never driving it. I joked that if it is ever missing...it wasn't me! I can't drive a stick either. Back to this car. Beautiful exterior color, grat dash! Great sound! Keep this guy's phone number...he has a couple of other classics in the garage! One yellow, one red!!
HI Brian, Happy to read you have a fun GTO in the neighborhood. Glad to read the details you enjoy this "Beautiful exterior color, great dash! Great sound!" NICE! Lou
Beautiful GTO in a Great Color ! Thanks Dan and Lou for Posting !

You're welcome Budget Audiophile Life-long. my pleasure sharing this car with you.
The ‘66-‘67 GM mid-sizers (Chevy Malibu, Buick Skylark, Olds Cutlass, Pontiac LeMans/GTO) were some of the most beautiful cars ever made! Love that Coke bottle silhouette!
Hi OldRustySteele, Happy to share this "Coke bottle silhouette!" with you :-) Lou
Gorgeous GTO! Pontiac and that famous split grill.
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
Beautiful car convertible with a white interior doesn’t get any better❤

I love the Mariner Turquoise...I had a 66 Tempest Conv...a poor man's GTO/Lemans...fun with a 326. Dan has a Gem...thanks Lou.
Happy to read you had a fun car too :-) Glad to share this "gem" with you. You're welcome, Lou
A trip in time to the American muscle car kingdom. The 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible was the dream sports luxury car of the new wave groovy fashion era. Thanks for the video.

Hey LOOUUUUU! Ahoy to my big bro with his awesome big grin right there. I just got back from a brief trip to Los Angeles (so wild to see my beautiful and magical City of Angels again after several decades! I was a young actor when I was last there.) and as I chill here in Brooklyn this morning having my coffee and a NY bagel with cream cheese, it is awesome to check in and see my big bro and this beautiful Pontiac GTO. WOW! You just know it, Lou-my sneakers blown right off my stocking feet and you catch those boys by extending a hand up a la Jose Cruz circa 1987. Me? Knocked out 😵😵and slung over Dan's right shoulder like the lightweight and chick crazy Robin I am lol 🤪🤪(his exhaust puts more than a baby to sleep). Oh man, this GTO.....magic....and that color-so striking and captures the rip roaring speedboat nature of these 60's speed machines so well. I really dig those wood inserts on the IP and the great build quality these Pontiacs had. The best part? Dan's peeling out and throwing you back in your seat a bit, with big grins!!! I am knocked out😵😵 in my limp stocking calves 'n feet and slung over his shoulder in a heartbeat-100%. Thanks for all the car guy big brother awesomeness, Lou! JV Johnny ⚾⚾
Hey JV Johnny, Welcome back from LA. Bagel sounds yummy. Happy to be your Bro, in the GTO, in this video :-) You're welcome, Lou
Love Dan’s enthusiastic driving style! Would have loved cruising around with him.
:-)
Great car. One thing I always liked about Pontiac are their great interiors. Very sporty with lots of gauges and wood (or fake wood) trim.
Hi MyHumanWreckage, Happy to read "Great car" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing what you like, Lou
66 had real wood & 67 had contact paper wood look
What a beauty of a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible in that Mariner Turquoise color! I love the front with its split grille, with the GTO logo on one of these, its double vertical headlights and its hood adorned with that additional air duct and the arrow-style Pontiac shield. The cream combination of the interior is excellent; with those elegant seats and wood-trimmed instrument console and shifter. The final route was exciting with those accelerations (special mention for the last one, along with that final pass at full speed). Congratulations to Mr. Gallas, for this dream Convertible! Best regards, Lou!
Hi Jaime, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Glad to share the "exciting" ride with you. Thank you for sharing the details you see. Lou
What a great looking muscle car! I remember seeing them 1967 Pontiac GTO during my school days in late 1960's at my neighborhood street! 😺
Hi ACatal2, Happy to read this car brings back memories of the car in your neighborhood :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Love the body style. I restored a ‘66 le Mans convertible. I bought a parts car that had factory air and moved the parts easily to my convertible. No tell-tale signs it wasn’t factory except the vin plate. It was easy with a donor car. Love this one and love the color. Thanks again Lou, another memory jog for me. The people you meet all seem so nice too!❤❤
Hi M A, Happy to read "Love the body style" :-) Glad to read this car brings back memories of your car. Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
NICE !!!
The last year of the GTO body style that I liked !
And I even love the color !!
Thanks for the memories.
Happy to read you enjoy this body style :-) You're welcome.
Gtos are so cool love the sound of the tires squealing such an amazing sound to hear that 4 barrel kick in especially when you give it the juice
Happy Dan gave this one "the juice' so we can enjoy the share the sounds with you :-)
Always thought the 67 had the best looking body of the GTO's and a convertible to boot! Thanks for another great video.
Hi Brian, Happy to read you enjoy the body lines of this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
lol, Dan seems like a real live wire!
What a beautiful car, all I can add...
Hi Dave, He sure has fun with his car :-) Lou
Beautiful GTO! Love the colour combination.
And great thumbnail.
Thanks Lou!
Hi Jeff, Happy to read you enjoy the looks and thumb nail for this car :-) You're welcome, Lou
My parents had a 1966 LeMans 4-door and I took my driving test in it. What I really love about this beautiful convertible is that it has Pontiac's superb a/c! I always loved the Pontiac way of putting 5 vents for it in front, thereby allowing the fan speed to be lower, so as to better listen to that AM radio with top-40 hits. This is a great car to drive, a cousin of mine had the '66 GTO with the 4-speed. Thanks for sharing!
Hi LoveIsAll, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Parents and your Cousins cars :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
Gr8 '67 Lou. It's alllll there, all there...
Hi Audie, Happy to read "It's alllll there, all there..." :-) Lou
Great car Lou!....I really like the 60s Pontiacs. I remember that great color too, a neighbor had a Bonneville painted that shade. Hats off to Dan for driving the car correctly!
Hi thelaststraw, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your neighbors Bonneville :-) Glad to share the fun ride with you. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
A unique color that looks great on the '67 GTO and a nice engine in the 400. The convertible top makes this factory muscle car a truly enjoyable ride - gotta be thrilled for the owner who has himself an awesome summer ride. Two thumbs up guys : )
Hi Bruce H., Happy to share this "truly enjoyable ride" with you :-) Lou
Love the early gto’s. Sweet car.
Happy to read "Love the early gto’s. Sweet car" :-)
There is just no comparison between older cars like this GTO and the newer crap they are building today. I will stop driving altogether before being forced by the government to drive an EV. This car not only looks great, but it's got the sound too. Thanks for sharing.

Unique model....
Seem challenging to find the convertible version.
Замечательно!
Hi Андрей, Happy to read this one is "Wonderful" :-) Lou
Beauty! Spectacular! Always liked the front signals, they used those on some other models, '64 Grand Prix, maybe some 2+2 Catalina. I dropped a 429 with tripower into a '67 GTO hardtop,... weeeeee!
Goat story... Local guys called the GTX, Goatex, or goat x.

Beautiful Goat 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

Beautiful car Lou don't think that I have ever seen a GTO that color before. My Uncle had a 67 GTO convertible that was white with a black convertible top and black interior 400 4 speed it was sold new at that I believe it was called Royal Pontiac dealership in Michigan that was famous for selling high performance GTOs, he sold it to have money for the restoration of his 70 Dodge Challenger R/T convertible.

A Childhood friends mother bought one of these brand new in 67'. Gray H/T with a black vinyl roof and Auto trans. Sounded like it had glasspack mufflers factory stock.
Hi Nicky, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your childhood Friends Mothers car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Awesome car! I love the color. I wanted to buy a GTO back then but my insurance agent said I was too young to get affordable insurance on it.
Happy to read you enjoy this "Awesome car!" :-) Maybe time to get your GTO now?
200th thumbs up, wooo!
Just kidding. Not about being 200th, but about being excited about being 200th. This GOAT sure is the GOAT 😊
Hi danam0228, "200th thumbs up, wooo!" NICE! High praise for this GOAT, Lou
A shift kit in the transmission would give it a good screech shifting into 2nd.
The '66 GTO had a 389 V8, with a base 3-speed manual, optional 4-speed manual and the optional let-down of only a 2-speed automatic.
1967 was the first year that the TH-400 3-speed automatic was optional in any GM car outside of the full-sized GM cars. The '67 Corvette still only had a 2-speed PowerGlide option for an automatic.
Hi Automated Electronics, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Lou
Nice 😀
:-)
I recall this color being featured in GTO ads in the car mags back in the day. Those pictures really added to the excitement.
Hi JayNaySayer, Happy to read this car brings back memories of car magazines back in the day :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Gorgeous car! Thanks for sharing!!
Hi Mark M, Happy to read "Gorgeous car!" :-) You're welcome, Lou
luv my Pontiacs forsho. I build n drive pontiac fieros
Nice :-)
Since I was born in 1951, during my teenage years in the 1960s a young man who was close to my age bought a Pontiac GTO from his relative. This Pontiac GTO had a rough idle because a racing camshaft had been installed in the engine. This Pontiac GTO had the two speed powerglide transmission. This exhaust system had been modified to a twin glass pack exhaust. Also the two exhaust pipes ended under the middle of the car. When I rode as a passenger in this car I noticed that the exhaust sound was unbearably loud. He also had the radio running at very high volume. So I did not like riding in this car. The sound level in this car was loud enough to cause hearing damage. Yet back in the 1960s this was how some people equipped their Pontiac GTO.
Hi David, Thank you for sharing your story :-) Lou
Thanks!
SUPER THANK YOU DAVID FOR THE SUPER THANKS! I appreciate your support, Lou
Ii’l GTO, you’re really lookin’ fine! Turn it on, wind it up, blow it out, GTO!❤❤❤👍🔥
NICE !
GTO original in office name stood for Grand Tempest Option as it was on the drawing board.
Thank you for sharing.
👍🔥😎🔥👍

My 67 GTO Hurst Dual Gate linkage broke and I ended up shifting with a curtain rod for a year.

Hey Tony, Happy to read this is a "dream car" for you :-) Stay tuned and you'll see what's back there :-) Lou
Lou, you seem lethargic. Didn't you eat your Wheaties?😆
Ed, NICE! I'll make sure to have a good breakfast....and lunch & dinner too!
Nice but a 67 GTO would blow your doors off ! I know because I had one!
NICE!
Used to work at parts house, and this Ford trans mechanic from the dealership a block away would come in
getting parts for his 3x2 Rochester set up. Our parts house
in 82 was an AC Delco dealer/jobber warehouse!
Bowtie guy myself, but must admit and appreciate John Z started it at the Pontiac brand!
Beautiful Protecto Plate car! And you're showing a rag top! Beautiful!
400cu in Rochester Q jet! Survivor? Maybe need to retard the timing a degree or two!
F41 suspension? Th350 or 400?
All the 67s had a TH400 with the 400 if it was automatic.
Hi Robert, Happy to read "Beautiful!" :-) Thanks for viewing and sharing your thoughts, Lou
Is the car for sale? Or near future? 😊
I'm not aware of this car being for sale.
Powerglide?
Power ride!
No, 67's actually had a turbo hydramatic 3 speed.
Christmas car
This would be a nice gift.
@loucostabile This color is code L. All GM cars had it they just used different names. It's kind of a strange color at times it looks black, and others it looks green.
It's a blue diamond 🔹 from " little lou" ha, it's nice man in all honesty. I would like to know more about you lou. I think you like these cars a lot, but I'm worried the profits of youtube would fog who you are when it comes to these cars. Sorry just being honest. I joke around on here, but not this time
Big Hank, Happy to share the "blue diamond" with you.
🙋♂️SIDE POINT… Back in the day, there were in the design department happy people who got their design included in unhappy ones that didn’t🤗🥹😁
