Everyone saying that a 1967 gto didn't come with a 428 are wrong. I own a royal bobcat originally purchased from my uncle at bud meadows Pontiac in Seattle washington.you had a option to bobcat your gto upon the build sheet just like super dutying your vehicle. Ace Wilson's Pontiac bobcat ed vehicle before delivery. Just like copo yenko ect. Indeed they are real.

I know a guy who is selling a 67 GTO which is being advertized as
'totally factory or optional'. This same GTO is advertized as
having a 428 and automatic.
I was under the impression all 1967 GTOs came w/400 4bbls. Am I
mistaken? Was there some factory option? Is this guy out to lunch?

My father bought a 67 GTO coupe May 1967. The car had a factory 428 engine / automatic.

I owned a 1967 GTO with the 428 engine option. I had the original sticker window with it that showed the 428 engine option and the dealer installed tri power

I have a 1967 Pontiac GTO that did in fact come from the dealer with a 428 engine and a 4-speed. It was installed, and sold by Royal Pontiac. It has the stage 3 Royal Bobcat performance package on it.

A few issues back, Summit Racing's catalog featured a beautiful blue GTO
in the '64-67 Era. I can't remember which year in specific.
It had a 428, and the factory 428 emblems are right on the side to see.
*looks at watch* Umm, he's probably back from lunch now :)
If you are in the market for a GTO, I'd snatch it up!!

Every reference I have indicates that from 64-66 only the 389 was offered
then in 67 the 400 was available. The 428 was only availble in the
grand-prix in 1967.

Don't believe everything that you read, Steve. There definitely were a number of 1967 Pontiac GTO's that came from the dealer with 428 CI engines installed in them. Any one who was involved in the Detroit area street racing scene back in the 60's, new about Royal Pontiac, and their Royal Bobcat GTO's. They were the cars to beat, back in the day. Many of those cars came from the dealer with 428 CI engines installed in them. It was part of their "stage 3" performance package.

Yes and no. As far as I know no however, in addition to the “special editions” made for the press and the like noted elsewhere in this topic, there was also on occasion certain “employee” cars that were built at GM Baltimore that said one thing on paper and had something quite different in it’s physical form. I personally knew of at least 2 of these in existence in Maryland over the years. 1 was a 1969 Impala the other was a Chevelle though I do not remember the year. I do not know what has become of them. Both were stripped to the bones on paper though were heavily optioned with all of the goodies tucked away behind plain Jane door pads or made incognito as they were being built. Though the order had to be placed at the dealership, the order number and vin of the vehicle was made available as the vehicle went into production with some creative replacement of build sheets from formerly manufactured vehicles inserted at different areas of assembly. Anything questioned was “fixed” ( hot-punched/ignored) elsewhere in process. As a Baltimore native and a 3rd generation employee in that same building, I got to drink a lot of beer and hear a lot of talk from the people who built those cars, too many eyewitnesses and participants to be a rumor. That being said, this not only potentially applies to the GTO, but to ANY vehicle that was manufactured at that assembly plant. Baltimore built Olds, Chevrolet, Buick, and Pontiac all on the same assembly line and had a truck line in operation in the same building to boot. I’ll let your imaginations run from here.
