Synopsis
‘64 Pontiac GTO
GRAN TURISMO OMOLOGATO -- The 1964 GTO is the one that started the whole Detroit Musclecar craze -- but it almost never happened. GM’s corporate policy wouldn’t allow such a lightweight car with such a huge engine, but Pontiac “finessed” the rules by making the GTO an option to the Tempest LeMans. Heavier springs, a 4-speed, red-line tires, and, oh yeah, by the way, the 348-horsepower 389. The cost of this option? Oh, about two hundred bucks.
‘69 Pontiac GTO Judge
HERE COMES THE JUDGE -- Pontiac’s GTO is back in 1969 with outrageous paint and graphics, a popular catch phrase, and the 370-horse Ram Air IV engine. What a country!
