Description: The Pontiac GTO is the most important of all muscle cars. Which one is best would be a matter of taste, but the GTO was the moment of genesis for the muscle car era, and truthfully it was quite an exc...Add Comments1
Adam BeiersdorferOct 26, 2012 It was first called a Goat by someone who was very dyslexic... A few people witnessed it eat just about anything (just like a goat) that pulled up next to it at a light... And they decided this dyslexic persons blunder was in fact a brilliant truth!
Logan DelonyOct 26, 2012 My grandad had one just like this in tan, it's a shame he sold it
Dillon DixonOct 26, 2012 This is gorgeous! Such a beautiful, yet aggressive body style
Michael DavidsonOct 26, 2012 Needs some fatter tires in the rear, then it would be perfect.
Michael BuckOct 26, 2012 The only reason I could think of goat cause in sports it means greatest of all time
Tim PuckettOct 26, 2012 Does anyone happen to know why the Gto was called the goat?
Dylan BruderOct 26, 2012 Agreed the stacked lights are awesome
Patrick SchalkOct 26, 2012 I love the stacked lights. So badass.
William DownsOct 26, 2012 Hard to believe I used to not like this front end, now its one of my favorite classics
Description: But it's one which took a bit of time to really get moving. The 1949 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 is really where the idea began. It was made by taking the advanced (for the time, obviously) OHV high-com...Add Comments0
Description: The idea came about as a result of a weird rule implemented by GM in 1963 which banned all of its divisions from participating in motorsports. Pontiac's corporate image was closely tied to perfor...Add Comments0
Description: However, the three letters do have a nice sound to them as well as a certain association with performance. The GTO was actually a violation of another rule at GM that mid-size cars couldn't have ...Add Comments1
Ernie LemusOct 26, 2012 Isn't it a 389 that came in the goats originally?
Description: Final 1964 sales figures totaled 32,450 units, a number which proved that Frank Bridge's initial estimate of 5,000 units to have completely misjudged the market. Competition from both inside and ...Add Comments0
Ernie LemusOct 26, 2012 @Bruce-My bad haha. I just really like the '68 because I see '69s a lot at the different car shows here in California. I know the differences are really subtle but since my dad has a '68 I lean more towards that year.
Bruce-Almighty TumblinOct 26, 2012 @Ernie, I said it was the ultimate GTO, not muscle car; from the factory at that time the GTO "Judge" was the top of the line GTO
Ernie LemusOct 26, 2012 @Bruce- I wouldn't say the judge is the ultimate muscle car. It had to be optioned just right. My dad has a 4 speed '68 goat and he beat his friends 3 speed '69 judge.
Bruce-Almighty TumblinOct 26, 2012 @Justin, that's all you want, why not throw in two super models & a cool $20 million for good measure; lol!
Justin KlumppOct 26, 2012 My favorite classic american muscle. If i could have one of these, a 67 or 68 camaro ss and a 2012 camaro zl1 my life would be complete
Description: As such, the GTO became a separate model from the Tempest. Sales for the year were the highest ever for the GTO, coming in at 96,946. Sales stayed strong into 1967, which also saw the engine size incr...Add Comments1
Cory PoteetOct 26, 2012 Surprised nobody has brought up the ram air IV's yet. That was the hot one
Description: There followed the introduction of a number of ram air performance upgrades, as well as the "Judge" option package to keep the car competitive. But the GTO was still losing the performance w...Add Comments2
Paul TrahanOct 26, 2012 I bet that car could break pavement if you launched it hard enough.
Patrick SchalkOct 26, 2012 500lb ft of torque. Good God.
Brandon CarrOct 26, 2012 Orbit orange. My dad has had many many gtos and I think this color looks better than anything else
Boyd BoudreauxOct 26, 2012 Always loved that color on the judge
Description: Sales had been down since 1970, but they took another huge dive in '71, and the GTO went back to being an option package for the Tempest in '72. A new GTO debuted in 1974 which, though less ...Add Comments3
Cory PoteetOct 26, 2012 I love my Aussie GTO. I agree that the styling doesn't fit the name, but the performance does.
Jordan JacksonOct 26, 2012 It could have benefited from a less boring exterior design too, IMO
That's not saying its not bad looking tho
Paul TrahanOct 26, 2012 It was actually a rebadged Holden Manaro. It was a great car, but it wasn't a GTO. The Manaro would of probably done better in the USA if it didn't use the GTO name.
Bill Estep JrOct 28, 2012 Is that a challenger on the left wit the fugly painted rims
Tim PreisingerOct 26, 2012 Yah... I'll take the goat with the massive blower
William DownsOct 26, 2012 Of course u would Matt, think your one if the few that sees a giant supercharged American v8 monster and wants the little ferrari
Matt PiccoloOct 26, 2012 I'll take the (what looks to be a Ferrari 360) to the right please :D
There we go! Lol
