The Pontiac GTO stands as an icon from the muscle car era, representing the collective effort of every major American car maker. Arguably one of the most coveted offerings of its time, the GTO made its debut in 1963 for the 1964 model year, envisioned as a high-performance vehicle aimed at capturing a younger audience. Originally conceived as a sports-oriented variant of the Pontiac Tempest, it quickly evolved into a standalone model. Undergoing a redesign, the 1966 Pontiac GTO embraced a more refined appearance, boasting a coke-bottle design and an impressive hood scoop. Our featured car boasts a frame-off restoration, including a rebuilt engine and transmission, ensuring future longevity with a powder-coated frame and new suspension all around. Nestled under the hood is a potent 389ci V8 engine paired with a Muncie 4-speed manual transmission, offering enthusiasts the quintessential American muscle car experience with a mild 195 miles complete since the restoration.
The exterior design of the 1966 Pontiac GTO epitomizes the era, retaining its large dimensions with a lengthy hood and trunk, muscular fenders, and an imposing split grille. Noteworthy design elements include stacked dual headlights and a functional hood scoop. Our featured car, finished in Nightwatch Blue exterior paint, features auxiliary lamps integrated within the grille, with the rear adorned by the Pontiac script and a subtle GTO badge on the trunk lid. Distinctive louvered taillights characterize the rear end, complemented by five-spoke American Racing chrome wheels wrapped in new Toyo tires. Stepping inside, a three-spoke steering wheel with chrome center elements and a wooden rim greets the driver. The blue leather interior exudes elegance, accompanied by a wood-grain dashboard and center console. Modern touches include a digital dashboard, while period radio and HVAC vents with Vintage Air complete the nostalgic ambiance.
Beneath the hood lies a rebuilt 389ci / 6.4-liter V8 Pontiac engine, meticulously restored and paired with a rebuilt 4-barrel carburetor. Noteworthy enhancements include a new battery, aluminum radiator, and electric cooling fan. Chrome dress-up parts adorn the engine, featuring a chrome valve cover, air-conditioning compressor, brake booster, and air filter surround with a blue element. Power from this V8 powerhouse is transmitted to the rear wheels through a Muncie close-ratio 4-speed manual transmission.

The Pontiac GTO is an excellent case study in how to use innovative thinking to circumvent seemingly pointless Management decisions. You see, in 1963, General Motors banned their divisions from competing in racing. However, the people who actually designed and developed the cars weren’t pleased. After all, this was their opportunity to really make an impact, and it was being taken away. So, they decided that if factory-backed racing wasn’t allowed, why not give customers a near-racing machine to race themselves? After all, once a customer buys a car, it’s their right to do with it as they please. Three prolific gents, namely John Z. DeLorean, Bill Collins and Russ Gee worked on the GTO. The name was inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO, and the first generation of GTO hit the streets in 1964. Fearsome and well-received, Pontiac decided to follow up in 1968 with the second generation. Sporting a curvier and more streamlined body, the second-generation GTO built up on the performance persona even further. Today, we’ve got a nice 1968 Pontiac GTO that’s covered less than 23,000 miles and is up for sale in Westminster, Massachusetts. It’s a great classic car to own and drive, and one that can still shred tires at will.

Pontiac’s Firebird was well-known for many reasons. It starred as the hero car in Smokey and the Bandit during its second generation. When it entered the third generation in 1982, the Firebird gained new levels of fame as Knight Rider’s KITT, as well as his evil twin KARR. But did you know that the Firebird has always been the sister car of the Camaro? The answer to Ford’s Mustang, GM introduced the Firebird and Camaro in 1967 to fight in the pony car space. Firebirds were made across four generations until 2002. Today, we’ve got a nice third-generation 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA for sale in West Columbia, Texas. Yes, it’s the ‘Knight Rider’ model, albeit it isn’t black and doesn’t sport a sweeping red scanner bar. However, it is a high performance variant which was really sought after in its heyday. Today, this 159,164-mile car makes for a great practical classic that you can drive and display alike.
Pontiac’s Firebird, widely known as one of the most iconic pony cars ever to grace the silver screen, breathed its last breath by the end of 2002. Yes, Pontiac officially axed the Firebird nameplate after more than three decades of performance heritage, and the brand itself would be shelved by General Motors several years later. Famous for its starring roles in Smokey and the Bandit and Knight Rider, the Firebird remains one of the most recognizable American muscle cars in history.

Interestingly, the car was even raffled as a fund raiser for charity. So, without further ado, let’s learn even more about it.
