Raising The Bar on a Gold Medalist’s 1967 Pontiac GTO
We were blown away when multi Olympic gold medal winning high jump World Champion Mutaz Barshim reached out to the V8 Speed & Resto Shop for upgrades on his 1967 Pontiac GTO! He wanted more performance, reliability, and style, so we installed upgrades like Holley fuel injection, MSD Performance ignition, and a Magnaflow exhaust system to make it sing. We added QA1 suspension, Borgeson Universal Company steering, American Racing wheels and Nitto Tire USA rubber to help it hug the turns. Next came Vintage Air A/C, Dakota Digital gauges, a restored center console and a new Grant steering wheel to make it nicer for Mutaz to drive. Finally, a flashy satin pearl white exterior wrap makes the GTO stand tall!
From The Customer:
“It’s clear a lot of care and attention went into this, and the outcome reflects that. Truly impressive work on the GTO.”
A “Goat” For A G.O.A.T.
We’re honored he chose our team to “raise the bar” on his GTO, and we share his enthusiasm for cool muscle cars and appreciate his strong character… you may recall that Barshim split a gold medal with Italian jumper Gianmarco Tamberi at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Games in one of the most inspiring Olympic moments of all time! It’s only fitting that a high-jumping G.O.A.T. drives a cool “GOAT” of his own! Thanks Mutaz, fly high!
