The GTO was born in 1964 as a result of Pontiac being forced out of active participation in racing. They needed a news-making product. It was created by the simple installation of a 389 cu. in. V-8 engine in a car originally designed to be powered by a 326 cu. in. V-8 engine. The first GTO weighed approximately 3500 lbs.
The Pontiac GTO is by far one of the most desirable muscle cars ever built by 1967 The 400 cu. in. engine replaced the 389 making it even more powerful. Complete new body restyle was introduced in 1968, which included the GTO's first color-matched front-end. 1970 saw the introduction of the 455 cu in V-8 engine putting out over 335 horse power.
