The letters GTO spark memories of good times and old-school American performance in the hearts of many, some even credit the Pontiac GTO as the car that popularized muscle cars back in the 60s. The first generation GTO is the stuff of legends and is bound to turn heads as your drive by to this day, much like this 1967 Pontiac GTO we have today. With 84,760 miles on the clock, this is one well-looked-after example and a true American legend to spruce up your life.
The first generation Pontiac GTO and its design will always go down as one of the most iconic 60s muscle cars. The long body lines feature sporty features on all fronts and the 67 model year called for several design changes. This 1967 Pontiac GTO sports a two Tyrol blue exterior and a black top boasting all those 60s features well. Make your way up front and the redesigned front grille form 1967 is still present and in great condition, at the back, the redesigned 8 rear taillights blend in well with the exterior color. Lastly, the Rally II wheels available which were present in the 1967 model year are also present on this car, the wheels are wrapped in red gradient white wall tires. While it’s a muscle car boasting 60s performance the black interior on this 1967 Pontiac GTO is one that boasts comfort and class. The wood trim blends in well with black leather seats and makes for a nice place to be when cruising into the weekend.
The Pontiac GTOs were never supposed to sport large displacements due to GMC’s policy displacements, but the development team found loopholes in the fine print, and what came to be were two large old-school V8 performance machines to suit the marketing material Pontiac was pushing out in the 60s. You got two engine trims to pick from but the one to have was the 400ci due to it being the big brother and boasting more power. Pop the hood of this 1967 Pontiac GTO and you would find the legendary 400ci (6.6L V8) powertrain lying there, pushing out ample smiles per gallon. All this old school V8 goodness is sent to the car's rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
One of the most influential cars of the '60s, the GTO was a slap in the face of corporate America. When General Motors banned their auto divisions from going racing, savvy people like Bill Collins, Russ Gee and John Z. DeLorean found a way round it. They realized that they could just offer race-ready street-legal machines to customers, who could then, ahem, do as they pleased with them. Enter the GTO, its name inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO no less. What better way to enjoy the fruits of their labor than with this first-generation, fully restored 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible that we’ve got for sale right here? Step right up folks, here’s your chance to own an American icon.
The Pontiac GTO was born out of sheer grit, a bit of cheekiness, and a desire to circumvent official company rules that seemed ridiculous. By the early 1960s, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from participating in auto racing. This meant that divisions could no longer field machines that could duke it out across America, and fight for who made the fastest car. Of course, this didn’t mean that you couldn’t sell potent, street-legal cars for customers to use to race. This was what John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins came up with. The result was the GTO, with the name inspired by Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTO. The GTO ran for five generations before throwing in the towel by 2006. That makes first and second generation GTOs excellent classic cars that can still burn rubber in anger when desired. This 1968 Pontiac GTO is one such car. This 38,000-mile, numbers-matching machine has been restored, with many mechanical parts replaced as well.
There are few cars that are as well known as the Pontiac GTO. The first GTO arguably created the muscle car genre, but this, the second generation, helped define the segment for years to come. The 1968 Pontiac GTO won MotorTrend’s Car of the Year award, and it’s not hard to see why. Here was a car that packed enormous power into a beautiful bodyshell, and with an affordable price tag. Our featured car mixes things up with a new riff on this classic. Instead of the old-school 6.6-liter V8, you’ll find a more modern 5.3-liter Chevy LS engine under the hood. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this 1968 Pontiac GTO restoration.

In 2002, after a glorious run across four generations, the Pontiac Firebird was due to be put to pasture. Pontiac’s iconic pony car was saying goodbye to the world, although its Camaro sister car would continue for over two more decades. It was a sad year for enthusiasts, given that the Firebird had become quite cult hero. The second generation starred as Jim Rockford’s car in The Rockford Files. Then, the third generation became Knight Rider’s KITT, one of the most-loved cars of the silver screen. You’d be hard-pressed to find another automotive nameplate with a similar level of recognition by the public due to its Hollywood appearances. So, if you want to own a Firebird from the last year of production, and one with some serious power under the hood, check out this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6. This 116,000-mile car packs quite a wallop and has undergone handling and braking upgrades too.
