AUTO PACIFIC LLC Revives Pontiac GTO's Iconic Interior – A Nostalgia Trip for Muscle Car Enthusiasts
Portland, OR – October 26, 2023 – AUTO PACIFIC LLC, a leading restoration parts supplier based in Portland, Oregon, is making waves in the classic car community with its painstakingly reproduced Pontiac GTO interiors. For decades, the GTO has been a symbol of American muscle, and AUTO PACIFIC is ensuring that legacy lives on, one meticulously crafted interior component at a time. “We’re not just selling parts; we’re helping people relive a piece of automotive history,” says a representative from AUTO PACIFIC LLC. “The Pontiac GTO represents a golden era. Owners are passionate about getting these cars back to their original glory, and the interior is a huge part of that.” AUTO PACIFIC LLC, located at 5633 SE 111th Ave, Portland, OR, 97266-4114, and reachable at 908-346-7873, has specialized in restoring and reproducing classic car parts for years. They’ve built a reputation for quality and accuracy, becoming a go-to source for enthusiasts and professional restorers alike. But their recent focus on the Pontiac GTO interior has really struck a chord with the community. Why the GTO Interior Matters The 1964-1974 Pontiac GTO wasn’t just about brute horsepower; it was about the experience. And that experience wasn’t complete without a thoughtfully designed, comfortable, and stylish interior. From the sculpted bucket seats to the woodgrain accents and the iconic instrument panel, the GTO’s interior reflected the car's powerful personality. Over the years, many original GTO interiors have succumbed to the ravages of time, weather, and wear and tear. Cracked vinyl, faded carpets, brittle plastic, and missing components are common problems for owners attempting a restoration. Finding original, usable parts can be a nightmare – and often prohibitively expensive. That’s where AUTO PACIFIC LLC steps in. They’ve invested heavily in researching original GTO interiors, meticulously documenting every detail, and developing tooling to reproduce parts to exacting standards. They aren't just making "close enough" replicas; they're aiming for authenticity. What AUTO PACIFIC Offers: A Deep Dive AUTO PACIFIC’s GTO interior reproduction line is comprehensive. Here's a breakdown of what they're offering: Seat Upholstery: Forget those generic, ill-fitting seat covers. AUTO PACIFIC offers faithfully reproduced seat upholstery in correct colors, materials (vinyl and cloth combinations, depending on the year), and stitching patterns. They've nailed the subtle details, like the correct grain and texture of the vinyl. They offer complete seat sets and individual components like seat skins, foam, and backing boards. This means you can refresh just the worn parts or do a complete overhaul. Carpeting: Replacing faded, worn carpeting is a crucial part of any interior restoration. AUTO PACIFIC offers precisely molded carpeting in correct colors and materials, matching the original loop or cut pile. They even offer carpeting for the rear deck and package tray. They aren’t just selling rectangles of carpet; these are pre-cut shapes that fit the GTO floorpan perfectly. Door Panels: AUTO PACIFIC’s door panels aren’t just visually accurate; they’re built to last. They’re constructed using the same materials and techniques as the originals, with attention to detail like the correct armrest shape and texture. They offer complete door panel assemblies and individual components like vinyl skins, armrests, and window cranks. Headliners: A sagging or stained headliner can ruin the look of an otherwise perfect interior. AUTO PACIFIC offers reproduction headliners in correct materials and colors, complete with mounting boards and hardware. Dash Pads & Instrument Panels: The dash pad is often one of the first things to crack and fade in a classic car. AUTO PACIFIC offers reproduction dash pads and instrument panels in various conditions, from bare shells to fully restored units. They’re also offering reproduction gauge faces and trim pieces. Center Consoles: From the standard consoles to the optional center consoles with storage compartments, AUTO PACIFIC has you covered. They offer both complete assemblies and individual components like bases, lids, and trim pieces. Trim & Hardware: It's the little things that often make the biggest difference. AUTO PACIFIC offers a wide range of trim and hardware, including window cranks, door handles, seat tracks, and mounting hardware.
