History: The Pontiac GTO is an automobile that was built by
American company Pontiac in generations from 1964 to 1974 model
years, and by GM's subsidiary Holden in Australia from 2004 to
2006. The first generation GTO was a muscle car of the 1960s and
1970s era. Although there were earlier muscle cars, the Pontiac GTO
is considered by some to have started the trend with all four
domestic automakers offering a variety of competing models. In his
autobiography Glory Days, Pontiac chief marketing manager Jim
Wangers, who worked for the division's contract advertising and
public relations agency, states that John DeLorean, Bill Collins,
and Russ Gee were responsible for the GTO's creation. It involved
transforming the upcoming second-generation Pontiac Tempest (which
reverted to a conventional front-engine with front transmission
configuration) into a "Super Tempest", or "Grand Tempest Option",
with a larger 389 cu in (6.4 L) Pontiac V8 engine from the
full-sized Pontiac Catalina and Bonneville in place of the standard
326 cu in (5.3 L) V8. By promoting the big-engine "Grand Tempest"
as a special high-performance model, they could appeal to the
speed-minded youth market (which had also been recognized by Ford
Motor Company's Lee Iacocca, who was at that time preparing the
sporty Ford Mustang variant of the second generation Ford Falcon
compact). The GTO disregarded GM's policy limiting the A-body
intermediate line to a maximum engine displacement of 330 cu in
(5.4 L). Pontiac general manager Elliot "Pete" Estes approved the
new model, although sales manager Frank Bridge, who did not believe
it would find a market, insisted on limiting initial production to
5,000 cars.
