Pontiac GTO Judge at a small car show looking all nice and pretty. I'll take one of these also please lol.
Taken in Tooele, Utah in early 1983. This 1968 GTO belonged to my brother. I loved riding in this car. The odd thing to me when I look at this picture now is... back then I thought this was an old car, but really it was only 15 years old. He sold it not long after finishing it to a friend of mine (John F. Kross) who lived in Naples Florida at that time. He kept it for a while, repainted it (removing the vinyl top) and then sold it. I have since lost track of that friend (and the car).
The Thrush side pipes really give it away this was the 80's.
My brother's '74 GTO. It's nowhere near stock (which is a good thing). I photoshopped the following:
- Darken windows
- Delete background
- Narrow front tires and widen the rears (big & littles!)
Old photo, old camera (sorry), new edit.
There is another photo of this car a few clicks back in my photostream that came out better (I think).
A wowsome car.

1965 Pontiac GTO Drag Car Multi-Show Winner S/FX ZOMBIE
The 1965 Pontiac GTO "Zombie" was a famous drag racing car built by Van Seymour and sold through Royal Pontiac, known for its performance and show-winning wins, particularly in the S/FX (Super/Factory Experimental) class. It was not a factory-production model but a custom, high-performance build designed for racing and often featured in car show and drag strip events.

The Pontiac GTO was built by Pontiac from 1964 to 1974 by General Motors It is often considered the first true muscle car. From 1964 until midway through 1973 it was closely related to the Pontiac Tempest and for the 1974 model year it was based on the Pontiac Ventura. This photo was taken at a classic car meet in Wilson, PA.

The Mitsubishi version on the infamous Soi 6, Pattaya. Dodge imported the same car to the US as the Stealth some years ago.
1970 Pontiac GTO in a very unusual shade of green - Verdoro Green. This is a Canadian built car and one of only one hundred and thirty five ever made in this colour according to the data sheet the owner had up. It has the Ram Air III 400cid V8 as well as the close ratio 4 speed manual gearbox.

The Tempest line, including the GTO, was restyled for the 1965 model year, adding 3.1 inches (79 mm) to the overall length while retaining the same wheelbase and interior dimensions. It sported Pontiac's characteristic vertically stacked quad headlights. Overall weight increased about 100 pounds (45 kg). Brake lining area increased nearly 15%. Heavy-duty shocks were standard, as was a front antisway bar.
The dashboard design was improved, and an optional rally gauge cluster ($86.08) added a more legible tachometer and oil pressure gauge.
The 389 engines received revised cylinder heads with re-cored intake passages, improving breathing. Rated power increased to 335 hp (250 kW) at 5,000 rpm for the base 4—barrel engine; the Tri-Power was rated 360 hp (270 kW) at 5,200 rpm. The Tri-Power engine had slightly less torque than the base engine 424 lb·ft (575 N·m) at 3,600 rpm versus 431 lb·ft (584 N·m) at 3,200 rpm.
Transmission and axle ratio choices remained the same. The three-speed manual was standard, while a four-speed manual or two-speed automatic were optional.[5]
The restyled GTO had a new simulated hood scoop. A rare, dealer-installed option was a metal underhood pan and gaskets to open the scoop, making it a cold air intake. The scoop was low enough that its effectiveness was questionable (it was unlikely to pick up anything but boundary layer air), but it allowed more of the engine's roar to escape.
Car Life tested a 1965 GTO with Tri-Power and what they considered the most desirable options (close-ratio four-speed manual transmission, power steering, metallic brakes, rally wheels, 4.11 limited-slip differential, and Rally Gauge Cluster), with a total sticker price of US$3,643.79. With two testers and equipment aboard, they recorded 0–60 miles per hour (0–97 km/h) in 5.8 seconds, the standing quarter mile in 14.5 seconds with a trap speed of 100 miles per hour (160 km/h), and an observed top speed of 114 miles per hour (182.4 km/h) at the engine's 6,000 rpm redline. A four-barrel Motor Trend test car, a heavier convertible handicapped by the two-speed automatic transmission and the lack of a limited slip differential, ran 0-60 mph in 7 seconds and through the quarter mile in 16.1 seconds at 89 miles per hour (142.4 km/h).
Major criticisms of the GTO continued to center on its slow steering (ratio of 17.5:1, four turns lock-to-lock) and mediocre brakes. Car Life was satisfied with the metallic brakes on its GTO, but Motor Trend and Road Test found the four-wheel drum brakes with organic linings to be alarmingly inadequate in high-speed driving.
Sales of the GTO, abetted by a marketing and promotional campaign that included songs and various merchandise, more than doubled to 75,342. It spawned many imitators, both within other GM divisions and its competitors.

440hp of Aussie muscle car now sits in my garage. With the demise of Holden, Australia's original car manufacturer, I felt the need to acquire a bit of Aussie motoring history. The Pontiac GTOs sold in the US in the mid 2000s was actually a rebadged Holden Monaro. It's a beast of a car and rather intimidating to drive, but a heck of a lot of fun. So, I have both some Aussie and British motoring history in my shop now. It will be rebadged back to a Holden Monaro soon.
