Way before John Zachary DeLorean would go on to build futuristic cars that doubled as time machines, he was cutting his teeth with General Motors. One of his most notable creations is the Pontiac GTO, which he named after the Ferrari 250 GTO, and created with Bill Collins and Russ Gee. An innovative way to get around GM’s top management banning divisions from participating in motor racing, the GTO was meant to create accessible street performance that customers could, then, take racing themselves. Spanning four generations, the GTO’s fifth generation was admittedly less than stellar, involving a re-badged Holden Monaro. That makes earlier cars, such as this first-generation 1964 Pontiac GTO all the more desirable, and with just 60,357 miles on the clock, plus a host of refreshments and modifications reported by the seller, a car not to be missed. Don’t let this one slip through your fingers if you’ve always lusted after a GTO.
Exterior and Interior
The first GTO was actually a trim and option package for Pontiac’s Le Mans model, and came with a host of enhancements, inside and out. That means that this 1964 Pontiac GTO should rightfully be called a Pontiac Le Mans GTO, but that just doesn’t sound right, does it? Based on the Tempest platform, this particular GTO wears a Gulfstream Alfa paintjob with the seller reporting that the front and rear bumpers have been re-chromed, the floor pan has been given the Rhino Liner treatment, and new American Racing wheels installed, wrapped with, you guessed, it, new tires. No wonder it looks in great shape. Venture aboard and the seller reports more refurbishments for the Gulfstream Aqua interior, including new accessory gauges, Dynamat liners, carpet, upholstery, and headliner. You’ve got a ventilation system and push button radio too, for that pristine period feel.
Engine
The engine room of this 1964 Pontiac GTO plays host to a 389ci V8 that’s been bored out to 409ci, no doubt enhancing its power over the already impressive factory 325hp figure. Drive goes to the rear wheels via a two-speed Super Turbine 300 automatic transmission and a reportedly new Positraction 308 rear end. The seller also reports a host of new things under the skin, including new suspension, four wheel disc brakes, exhaust, brake lines, gas lines, gas tank, radiator, dual electric fans, and electronic ignition, making this a practical classic that you can rely on.
The 1967 Pontiac GTO is one of those cars that needs very little introduction. By the late 1960s, the GTO name had already become synonymous with big-displacement V8 power, bold styling, and the kind of straightforward performance that helped shape the muscle-car era. Showing approximately 62,464 miles, this example brings that formula together with a 400ci V8, three-speed automatic transmission, Linden Green Metallic paintwork, a Black Cordova vinyl top, and a black vinyl bench-seat interior. Its character is further sharpened by aftermarket wheels, redline radial tires, an aluminum radiator, and a number of chrome engine-bay accents that give the car a tasteful enthusiast-oriented presentation.
The 1968 Pontiac GTO sits right at the heart of the muscle-car era, and this example takes that familiar formula and turns up just about every part of the driving experience. Showing approximately 32,974 miles, this GTO Restomod pairs a 455ci Pontiac V8 with Atomic electronic fuel injection and a Tremec 5-speed manual, bringing much sharper response and a more involved feel than a stock-era setup. Ridetech Stage 2 suspension, front disc brakes, power steering, and a replacement clutch further support the performance side, while air conditioning, Cadillac power seats, upgraded audio, and added sound deadening make it far easier to live with. With custom red paint, Rally wheels, Ram Air induction, more than $60,000 in receipts, and multiple car show trophies and awards, this is a GTO built to be driven hard, shown proudly, and enjoyed often.
The 1970 Pontiac GTO is widely regarded as one of the finest expressions of the American muscle car era. Featuring aggressive styling, powerful V8 performance, and unmistakable road presence, the 1970 model marked the final year before significant changes swept through the muscle car market. This 1970 Pontiac GTO Convertible shows approximately 88,788 miles and presents an outstanding opportunity to own one of Pontiac's most iconic drop-top performance cars. Finished in stunning Bermuda Blue Metallic over a Sandalwood interior with a tan convertible top, this GTO combines timeless styling with desirable factory equipment for an unforgettable cruising experience.
The 1973 Pontiac Firebird Formula 400 Trans Am Tribute is the kind of second-generation F-body that makes an immediate impression. Finished in Carousel Red over a Black interior and showing approximately 40,520 miles, it combines the desirable Formula 400 foundation with the unmistakable attitude of a Trans Am tribute. The giant hood bird, shaker-style “400” scoop, Trans Am-style graphics, Rally II-style wheels, and raised white-letter Cooper Cobras give it exactly the visual drama enthusiasts expect from early-1970s Pontiac muscle. It has the look, the stance, and most importantly, the 400ci V8 under the hood to back it up.
The 1999 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 is one of the most recognizable performance cars of the fourth-generation F-body era, combining aggressive styling with LS1 V8 power and the added hardware of Pontiac’s WS6 Performance Package. This example shows approximately 28,881 miles and is finished in Bright Red over a Taupe interior. It also features removable T-top roof panels, 17-inch aluminum wheels, a limited-slip differential, dual exhaust, and the signature rear spoiler. With low mileage for its age and the sought-after WS6 package, this Trans Am captures the raw, unmistakably American performance character that made these cars so memorable.
The 1959 Pontiac Catalina Convertible captures Pontiac at the dawn of its Wide-Track era, when the division was moving toward the bold styling and performance identity that would define the 1960s. Showing just 3,138 miles, this Catalina combines its sweeping open-top bodywork with a 389ci V8, 2-barrel carburetor, and 4-speed Super Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, and a power-operated convertible top add desirable cruising amenities to a car already defined by unmistakable late-1950s presence.
