About the GTO:
The Pontiac GTO is an automobile that was manufactured from 1964 to
1974, and by GM's subsidiary Holden in Australia from the 2004 to
2006 model years.
The first generation of the GTO was the first muscle car produced
in the 1960s and the 1970s. The Pontiac GTO is considered by some
to have started the trend with all four domestic automakers
offering a variety of competing models.
The GTO was selected as the Motor Trend Car of the Year in
1968.
In early 1963, General Motors' management banned divisions from
involvement in auto racing. This followed the 1957 voluntary ban on
automobile racing that was instituted by the Automobile
Manufacturers Association. By the early 1960s, Pontiac's
advertising and marketing approach was heavily based on
performance. With GM's ban on factory-sponsored racing, Pontiac's
managers began to emphasize street performance.
The name, which was DeLorean's idea, was inspired by the Ferrari
250 GTO, the successful race car. It is an Italian abbreviation for
Gran Turismo Omologato ("grand tourer homologated"), which means
officially certified for racing in the grand tourer class. In
reality, however, the Pontiac GTO was never really a certified
Grand Tourer race car. Internally, it was initially called the
"Grand Tempest Option" The GTO is one of the fastest cars ever
manufactured by Pontiac. The 1969 model eliminated the front door
vent windows, had a slight grille and taillight revision, moved the
ignition key from the dashboard to the steering column (which
locked the steering wheel when the key was removed, a federal
requirement installed one year ahead of schedule), and the gauge
face was changed from steel blue to black.
In addition, the rear quarter-panel mounted side marker lamps
changed from a red lens shaped like the Pontiac "arrowhead" emblem
to one shaped like the broad GTO badge. Front outboard headrests
were made standard equipment on all cars built for 1969.
The previous economy engine and standard 350 hp 400ci V8 engine
remained, while the 360 hp 400HO was upgraded to the Ram Air III,
rated at 366 hp. The top option was the Ram Air IV rated at 370 hp
and 445 lb�ft of torque, which featured special header-like
high-flow exhaust manifolds, high-flow cylinder heads, a specific
high-rise aluminum intake manifold, larger Rochester Quadrajet
4-barrel carburetor, high-lift/long-duration camshaft, plus various
internal components capable of withstanding higher engine speeds
and power output. Unlike the highest rpm Chevy big-block and Hemi
engines, the Ram Air IV utilized hydraulic lifters.
A new model called "The Judge" was introduced. The name came from a
comedy routine, "Here Come de Judge", used repeatedly on the Rowan
& Martin's Laugh-In TV show. Advertisements used slogans like "All
rise for the Judge" and "The Judge can be bought". As originally
conceived, the Judge was to be a low-cost GTO, stripped of features
to make it competitive with the Plymouth Road Runner.
