Fondly known as the Goat, the Pontiac GTO is one of Pontiac’s most hallowed models from the Sixties. It was conceived as a smart way to get around a General Motors management ban on divisions competing in auto racing. Three gentlemen named Bill Collins, John Z DeLorean and Russ Gee found a way round this ban. Why not give customers a car that they can then race when and how they please? Simply focus on street performance with a healthy dose of usability tossed in, then let customers do as they please. With a name inspired by none other than the Ferrari 250 GTO of the 1950s, the Pontiac GTO was born. Today’s 1967 Pontiac GTO is from the first generation and comes with under 70,000 miles on the clock. Hence, it’s a great classic to own and love, as well as drive enthusiastically. It’s also got an interesting gearbox!
Wearing a Vibrant Red paint coat, this 1967 Pontiac GTO showcases many of the styling cues that made other drivers at the time move over when a GTO’s face appeared in their rear-view mirror. The stacked headlamps, distinctive grille and grille-mounted lamps all signaled that this was a car not to be trifled with. Then, as it roared past, its sleek two-door silhouette, white roof and Rally-style wheels with red-striped tires make further style statements. The last thing you see is a broad rear with chrome rear bumper and of course, the distinctive exhaust note of a large V8. The interior of this 1967 Pontiac GTO comes in Pearl White with some wood trim and quite a few impressive features for the time. There’s air conditioning, a tilt steering, a push-button radio and seat belts. The car can accommodate up to five occupants as the GTO was meant to be a family hauler too, for enthusiasts who could only afford or park one car. That’s also why it packs a sizable trunk that’s perfect for daily use.
Under the hood of this 1967 Pontiac GTO lurks a 400ci V8 paired with a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. A look at the shift quadrant inside the car reveals this to be the relatively rare “His and Hers” transmission. Yes, you can manually shift this car if you wish, or leave it in automatic mode. Power steering and power brakes are also present, meaning that this car was meant to be as easy to drive but potent when needed.
Pontiac’s GTO was born out of the spirit of defiance in the face of unreasonable corporate wrangling. You see, General Motors banned their auto divisions from participating in racing. This 1963 decision was driven by a voluntary ban in 1957 by the Automobile Manufacturers Association. Naturally, engineers, stylists and executives within the divisions weren’t happy – as you would be, naturally. After all, these were true petrolheads being strangled by suited-sorts who didn’t have the same passion as they did. Three gentlemen, namely John Z. DeLorean, Bill Collins and Russ Gee hatched a plan. They figured that while they couldn’t go auto racing as a brand, why not give customers a thinly-veiled race machine to do as they pleased with? Hence, the GTO was born in 1964, with a name directly inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO. Five generations of GTO have been made so far, and we’ve got a nice first-generation example available in Grosse Point Farms, Michigan right now. Check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible that’s a symbol of the undying American spirit of innovation, and it’s a great find that’s not to be missed!

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.

You can’t go amiss by choosing a first-generation Ford Mustang as your starter classic car. Ford’s signature model created the whole pony car arena, and over sixty years later, remains the sole survivor of the segment. The first generation Mustang was offered between 1964 (called 1964½ models) and 1973. Along the way, it offered various engines and came in some high-performance variants too. Buyers could choose three body styles, and many went for the stylish fastback or the slick convertible. But, the third choice, the two-door hardtop offered sleek and arguably unappreciated style that really made owning one a personal choice of distinction. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Ford Mustang Hardtop for sale in Goodyear, Arizona. With its host of upgrades, this is a classic car that’s suitable for daily driving if desired. Snap it up soon!
