which ran in the 13s. Weirdly enough, only 357 of them were ever sold, so this is a car that needs a comeback to remind people of what they missed out on. As for what a modern GTO Judge would be
and some may contest that claim. But all GM divisions except Cadillac would get in on the action as well as most every other domestic automobile manufacturer. 1966 would be the third year of the GTO (the lettering is often said to mean “gas-tires-oil”) and sold brisky at just...
This V8 should be producing a healthy 350hp, making the GTO a spritely performer. Point it at a ¼ mile, and the journey would be nothing but a memory in 14.5 seconds. The owner says that the motor has never been pulled from the car, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t received ...
Apple pie and Miller beer aren't this American. Twenty-five years later, the muscle car has reached maturity. These cars all burn rubber about as well as any '64 GTO, but today's shifter still works after days of abuse, and there's an extra gear for cruising bac...
While Pete Estes, John DeLorean, and Jim Wangers understood what the Pontiac GTO was supposed to be, the same was not true of many in Pontiac’s sales organization. WhenHot Rod‘s Ray Brock tried to get a GTO to road test in the fall of 1963, the Los Angeles zone office had none...

GTO Pontiacs were its favorite food. I followed him from Phoenix to Durango CO once for a camping trip. He was loaded with camping gear, a wife and two Newfoundland dogs. I had a wife, infant kid and a suitcase. In the mountains I had a tough time keeping up with him and when we...
Otherwise, i would rather see a swap of the 4 speed, pedals, & manual only console into an automatic ’73 TWO door grand am or even GTO. If the manual shifter here is the same as the one 1 in the ’76 t/a 455, the automatic would be faster, since a R/T road test said the...
We have all seen cars found and stored just about everywhere. Some finds like this ’66 Pontiac GTO get so close to being stored safely but don’t quite make it to safety. Found behind a barn, this 389 4-speed car has a sharp appearance but needs some real love to be roadworthy aga...
“Bunkie” Knudsen. They had spent the ensuing eight yearsreinventing Pontiac as GM’s excitement divisionwith considerable success. By 1964, however, they were faced with a dilemma. Although Pontiac had some fast, good-looking products, particularly the GTO, even its sportiest models were big, ...
