- Hello and welcome to Saabkyle04! TH-cam's largest collection of automotive variety! In today's video, we will take an up close and personal in depth look at the 1966 Pontiac GTO Covertible 389 Tri-Power. During this presentation, we will take a 1st person look at what the vehicle is all about beginning with the start up, performance data, fuel economy, the occasional track data, and build quality. Also, I will teach you how to use most of the interior and exterior features in a detailed fashion, that before, you could only get from going to a dealership yourself! Throughout the video, I will highlight key styling and unique differences about the vehicle, any available options, and of course it would not be an enthusiast car video without the good ole engine portion with rev and exhaust note with interior and exterior perspectives. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.
FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CHANNEL SEE BELOW: In this channel you will find in depth reviews/tour of automobiles from all over the world, presented in a more detailed fashion than ever before. Basically, this gives the viewer the chance to view the most detailed 1st person look you can get without going to an actual dealer yourself! Every video is consistent in the way I present so viewers know what to expect in my presentations. I treat every vehicle with the same respect whether a 1960 Chevrolet Impala SS or the 2012 Lamborghini Aventador. I film all types of vehicles from past, present, and future while broadening the knowledge of the automotive enthusiast. You will see everything from vintage, brand new, exotic, mainstream, old, etc. I am very proud of this channel and have built it up from amateur videos years ago to what you see today. I wanted to share my love for the automotive world with the rest of the world. Be sure to explore the massive video variety, have fun and enjoy The Driver's Seat of TH-cam!

That exhaust, man. Sounds so good!
man, they don't them like that anymore, beautiful.
Say what you will about Pontiac, they made some interesting cars.
And by interesting, I mean awesome! Firebird, Grand Prix, GTO, all excellent
Exactly and also the Bonneville.
Jeff Superglide Oh yeah! they also made the Grand Am, G6, G8
Shame GM killed it off. I'm sure it still had potential, but all good things come to an end eventually.
@@gentleman7407 which is why no one even pisses off on Chevy cars now days!! lol
Karma baby!!
So beautiful. we use to have a 67 Bonneville. this video brings back memories. Long live the arrow head, the red interior lights, the indian head, and the Pontiac Muscle.
My Pops bought a very similar GTO brand new in '66, he used to let me drive it, cruising and racing SS 396's. Ours was candlelite cream (canary yellow) with a white convertible top, white interior with black rugs, deluxe interior with teakwood steering wheel, chrome accented pedals, console, and wood shift knob like this one. Ours had manual steering and brakes. M21 close ratio and a 4:33 posi rear. The best gas mileage we ever saw was 8 miles to the gallon short shifting with a very light gas pedal. GasTires&Oil. The car in this vid has a rare option, the Air Lift rear shock absorbers. You can see the filler valve when he drops the rear license plate. They kept the rear tires on the ground when speed shifting. Also, I seem to see mechanical linkage as opposed to the vacuum linkage that the '66's came from the factory with.
SaabKyle, I m writing on this page because you disabled the comments portion of the video of your sister getting the Chevy Cruze.Family is everything. It was so touching and cool to see your sister's reaction with her tears of joy when she looked at the Cruze. I am 52 years old and work my butt off for what I have. And let me tell you something!! I cried my eyes out when I bought all my cars, for MYSELF!!! Thanks!!! From JOEY
very well said my friend. I have seen kyle progress from lot videos at his family dealership to where he his today. He says it like it is and his information is unbelieveable. The one part of every video I wait for is his famous saying "lets see how she sounds".
I absolutly love the vintage-car reviews !
you always get lucky in finding these classic card to video.
I love the interior colors.
This is the kind of video I hit the like button before watching!
Thanks for sharing
My Dream Car!!!!
SaabKlye, NOW you got it goin ON!!!! brother with this FINE example of Detriot iron!!!
Way to go bro!!!!!
I started Sweet Emotion and let the intro to this video play while the song was playing. I was not disappointed
Just incase if people do not know, saabkyle04 is known for reviewing all sorts of vehiles. he has never favored one type of vehicles over another. he has reviewed multiple years of economy cars, trucks, sports cars, exotics, and muscle cars. i love watching videos on all of these vehicles and i will continue to do that without complaints. if you dont like a certain type of vehicle, dont watch it. its not the end of the world. he does not work for you, he works for himself, so get over it!
Too many memories. My second car was a '67 convertible. with 400 ci quadrajet and Hurst dual gate turbohydromatic. Gas was 29 cents and then jumped to 49 cents when I sold it. Drove like a dream. Had the same basic dash with am radio! Woo Hoo!
This is one of the most beautiful cars for me!
The catchiest name and the ultimate Muscle car the GTO Judge stands out everyone wants a GTO
Where car-crazy people go to dream. Kyle you are the best!!
i used to drive this car in NFS ProStreet for 1/4 and 1/2 mile races!! drives me crazy!!
I don't know why, but before this I didn't think convertibles of this era had power tops. I guess I learn something new every day.
Oh yes. My dad had a 1970 Chrysler 300 Convertible with an automatic top (And boy do I wish he still had it, those are rare birds now)
What an awesome old GTO!! One of my favorite American Muscle cars, I'm sure that thing would be a blast to drive around, especially in the summer!
those old Pontiacs sound so good
great to see another of that streetside classic spot.
waiting to see more.
@ 3:24 WHAT?!?! They had that back then?? I am so in love with this car! :D
hey kyle would like to thank you for uploading this video and all the other videos you do. I appreciate the time and effort you take into putting together these videos. Whenever I think of a car Id like to buy or im interested in I always come to your channel and 9 times out of 10 you have the video im looking for. thanks again
Awesome car, awesome video. I actually rode in this same model and year often as a kid, my older sisters husband had one. He let me drive it at 14 yrs old, I remember thinking the steering wheel was really big, lol...
It looks so happy!
That's one classic car! Very nice review, Kyle.
Little GTO, you're really lookin' fine
Three deuces and a four-speed and a 389
Listen to her tachin' up now, listen to her why-ee-eye-ine

@saabkyle04 awesome video ive been waching your videos since 2010 and they
are great!
wow kyle. You really do love the american classics. Thank you for providing us yet again with education and not explosions :)
Kyle you're amazing !! i love your videos and i totally watch em all :) i think if you could review the veyron ! it'll be a wish come true, because i don't really know a full information about it, and you're the best one to review cars man !. good luck !
There is a lot of beautiful muscle cars sitting in that warehouse. Wish I can own all of them in that warehouse.
My dad had one of these when he was growing up.
Classic car and great review ! Black vinyl on a convertible. Big ouch on a sunny day with the top down ! Pass the towels...
hey kyle I just watched your sisters birthday surprise vid and I was thinking to myself the whole time that I knew you were dying to start talking about the car and do a review lol :P
Beautiful ride!!👍👍
Beautiful car there, Kyle. I love the styling they had back in the day. I remember my auto shop teacher had a '66 like this but his wasn't the Tri-Power version. Still though, it was also a bueutiful car.
Gorgeous looking Car's love them Best Wishes from the UK
tri-power is also known as the 6 pack carbs.... beautiful car, love them
ORGASM! My first car was a 67 Lemans, loved it!
In the later GTO for a drive delorean loved it I say the same in the back
gotta love the sixties
Now that. Now that is a car.
And you were sporting the cool leather jacket to go along with the car ;^)
Great video Kyle and I don't mind the voice overs but if you could fix the echoing that would be great. Thanks!
Very nice. Except for the tires, it looks extremely correct. Beautiful. Great to see a car with the correct exhaust and not those chrome tips.
Hey, Kyle! I challenge you to find and review a Rover 75. I am almost sure you cannot find them in the USA. It is one of the best looking cars ever.
My dream car!!
Absolutely amazing car.
`66 GTO, manual and a convertible? epic car.
a dream garage
When pontiac was good love the GTO
Otherwise known as "hazards." It's a setting for the turn signals that makes them all blink at the same time and it's used to show distress, like if your car has broken down and you need to pull over to the side of the freeway. Alternatively, some people also use it to park anywhere they want, including loading zones and fire lanes.
Damn....I had a 65 when I was 16 years old. Never forget that shit.
It is an adjustable shift point. Basically you move it to the rpm you want to shift at. My grandpa has a 1965 tri power gto and it has the same thing
My dad has a 1966 Pontiac GTO just like this one with the exact same engine steering wheel and shifter
I want that car
Johnathan Megee same
Nice work!
Thank you Kyle!
What a legendary car, when will Americans gonna make cars like these again. The modern safety, aerodynamic,and other stuffs make cars nowadays become dull. Cars in the old days are pure fun and art. I am really impressed with classic American cars with their design and flares.
great just great AWESOME CAR keep doing reviews like this one
@saabkyle04 Awesome video Kyle! Keep up with the great work!! =)
Pontiac. Please come back!!!!!!!!!!!
the correct pronounce is Gran Turismo OMOLOGATO...by the way,great video as always Kyle!
greetings from Italy :D
Well done, Kyle! One day I'll own another '66 Goat ... =)
the transmission on the 1964-1967 Pontiac GTO
Transmission
2-speed automatic
3-speed manual
4-speed manual
3-speed automatic
my dad had a 66 all options black with a red interior and white top 4 spd tri
Now that´s a real car
That's one sweet car, would there be any way to upgrade the radio to Stereo FM without ruining the style though?
great exhaust :D
Love your videos, but it'd be nice to hear a a ballpark estimate on the cars you review.
amazing channel : )
yeah that's a nickname for these cars
True, but here in AZ it's pretty much a necessity. A buddy of mine had a '67 Mustang with AC so I'd definitely prefer a classic equipped with it.
man..its hard to believe that soon one day our current gen cars will be considered "classics" just like these, but they'll never reach the legendary status that the 30-70's cars have. I'd kill for just a chevy nova SS, let alone one of these or the camaro or mustang of the same decade.
just amaizing! love it!
He has 2 videos of newer GTO's actually that he made a few years ago. One of them is more recent than the other.
First car I bought in NFSO haha. Still have it :D
nice jacket
your videos makes my day!!:) "LIKED!!"
Pure Classic
I wonder if there's any Road Runner/Superbird for upcoming reviews...
My uncle has a black 67 GTO with a 400 and 3spd!
How do you convince the dealers to let you tour the cars? I was thinking about trying to do what you do while in medical school, not only as a hobby but to make a little extra money.
