The drivetrain of this GTO are in absolute perfect condition as they are both essentially rebuilt in 2006, and have less than 200 miles on since complete. When I did this, I spared no expense and did everything right with all receipts & documentation to prove it. FYI - PHS docs which verify the original engine and transmission are avaialble for review with the vehicle, and/or you can pay $35 to have this verified yourself by visiting here:

Engine: The engine of this car is the original Pontiac 400 V8, with PHS documentation to prove the matching numbers. I personally removed the engine from the car and had it professionally rebuild from top to bottom by a top engine builder, Carl McQuillin. The block was dipped and painted, with all new parts. It was balanced, bluepritned and primed before installing in the car.

Transmission: The transmission was also completely rebuilt at the same time as the engine. The work was done by Milt & Ron's transmission in Rochester, NY and has a heavy duty torque converter installed. This transmission is one of the best ever made and with the rebuild (that was not needed I will note) will serve this car for the next 40 years.

Important Note: The engine & transmission were installed in December of 2006. I broke the engine in at about 2000 RPM for about an hour per the engine builders specifications with racing oil, then drove the car for about a half hour and changed the oil again - but that is it. This engine still requires about 500 miles of further breakin procedure at various speeds and no full throttle accelleration.
