Million Dollar Pontiac GTO Rebuild Stuns with Modern Power and Classic Soul

  • How did the Twisted 67 GTO stay classic while getting a total performance makeover?
  • What makes the interior of the Twisted 67 GTO so unique?

When it comes to restomod builds, few projects can match the drama, detail, and dollar value of the Twisted 67 GTO. This former 1967 Pontiac GTO spent two years in a full rebuild process that cost more than 1.2 million dollars. The result? A bold fusion of vintage muscle car lines with modern tech and luxury. Let’s take a closer look at how this wild transformation created one of the most striking custom cars of the year.

Signature Look, Upgraded Heart

Signature Look, Upgraded Heart

From the outside, this Pontiac still keeps its original silhouette but now wears a custom deep ocean blue finish that makes it stand out immediately. Underneath the classic shape lies a completely new Roadster Shop chassis. The heart of the machine is a monster: a 6.9 liter LS7 V8 engine topped with a 2.9 liter Whipple supercharger. That setup gives it performance way beyond anything a stock 60s GTO could offer.

To match that power, the engine bay got custom valve covers with Pontiac badging, showing off the builder's attention to every detail. It is no longer just a retro muscle car, it is a fully reimagined performance machine built to turn heads and dominate roads.

A Luxury Cabin Built for Today

A Luxury Cabin Built for Today

Open the door and the past disappears. The cabin is wrapped in layers of deep red leather, making it feel more like a high-end European GT car than a vintage American muscle ride. It features aluminum pedals, digital gauges from Dakota Digital, custom aluminum trim pieces, and stainless steel panels plated in nickel for a subtle shine.

Even the trunk got the luxury treatment, lined with the same leather and fitted with a 12-speaker high-end sound system and a 12-inch subwoofer. This car wasn’t just built for power. It was built to impress on every level.

The Twisted 67 GTO did not stop at looks and comfort. It got a 4L80E modern automatic transmission, a carbon fiber driveshaft, and a full stainless steel exhaust system. It rides on custom 19 and 20-inch wheels with a big brake kit from Baer, along with suspension tuning that makes it handle like a track weapon.

The goal was not just to build a show car. This GTO was meant to drive, and drive hard. Every part from the drivetrain to the brakes to the wheels was upgraded to match or beat the performance of today’s high-end cars, all while keeping the soul of a 1967 legend.
