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.
This Alpine Blue 1968 Pontiac GTO will definitely turn heads and send eyes rolling in its direction as you drive by – regardless of whether you smoothly glide or rumble in a flurry of noise. The car’s iconic design features, such as its long nose, hidden headlamps, and dainty rear spoiler, all add to its allure, as do its vinyl-covered hardtop and five-spoke period-style wheels with Road Hugger Radial G/T tires. Then, of course, the GTO badges do the rest of the talking – if the big V8 under the hood hasn’t spoken yet. The passenger cabin of this 1968 Pontiac GTO can easily accommodate four adults, because Pontiac didn’t want to restrict themselves to a two-seater. After all, a budding enthusiast might have bought a GTO to race on the weekends and use for family duties during the week. So, you’ve got a comfortable blue interior with some wood trim for that bit of luxury. A push-button radio resides in the dash, alongside the comprehensive gauge cluster that includes a tachometer.
Now for the business end of this 1968 Pontiac GTO, and it’s dominated by a 400ci YS V8. Interestingly, this was the smaller of two engines offered, packing a not-insignificant reported 350 horsepower. An automatic transmission is tasked to channel all that power to the rear wheels.
A defining muscle car of the late 60s, the 1969 Pontiac GTO captured the era’s spirit with brute V8 power and unmistakable styling. This example, finished in green over a black interior, is reportedly powered by a 400ci V8 paired with a 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission and remains largely true to its factory configuration. Tasteful updates such as modern air-conditioning and Bluetooth audio enhance usability while preserving the car’s classic personality. With its strong mechanical foundation and desirable drivetrain, this GTO offers a proper blend of originality, comfort, and vintage American muscle.
Pontiac’s fine GTO is a testament towards fighting a corporate injustice. When GM banned their auto divisions from competing in racing due to some irrational reason, the petrolheads inside the brands were livid. Three gentlemen, namely John Z. DeLorean, Bill Collins and Russ Gee didn’t fight, though. Instead, they came up with a cunning plan. They’d create a model that was basically a thinly-veiled racer, disguised as a production car. Then, they’d sell it to customers who knew what to do with it. Hence, the GTO was born in 1964, with a name inspired by Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTO, a Tempest-based platform, and of course, big V8 power. Today, we have a nice first-generation 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible Restomod for sale from Wichita Falls, Texas. The current owner says that it’s a great car and enjoyable to drive. It’s also been taken to over thirty car shows in a mere three years!
Born from the desire to be free of corporate constraint, the Pontiac GTO is a lesson in defiance. It shows what happens when men figure out a way to rage against the corporate machine in a creative way. You see, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from competing in auto racing for some ridiculous reason. However, executives such as John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins knew that this was outrageous. They felt the desire to find a way to buck the rules, and they easily found it. Because why not give customers a turn-key racer that’s thinly veiled as a street car? After all, you can’t control how your customers use your car once they’ve paid the purchase price and driven off the lot, can you? Hence, the GTO was born, with a name inspired by a Ferrari legend. Today, we have a 1965 Pontiac GTO for sale from Evansville, Wisconson. This symbol of rebelliousness is available with under 100,000 miles on the clock, a 389 Tri-Power under the hood and a Muncie 4-speeder taking care of shifting. If you want it in your life, don’t waste any more time, talk to us!

One of Pontiac’s last cars before this great American automaker bid goodbye in 2010, the Solstice was a two-door roadster that was made between 2005 and 2010. Over 65,000 were sold, with the car closely related to the Saturn Sky and Opel GT. Yes, the Solstice sort of goes against Pontiac’s typical fare, doesn’t it? Instead of a V8 it packs a four-cylinder under the hood, and comes with a rather compact footprint. However, the Solstice was created in response to a changing world where fuel economy, frugality and sensible size were becoming increasingly prevalent. Plus, it was Pontiac’s first two-seater since the Fiero of the Eighties. Today, finding a Solstice isn’t easy but we have this 2007 Pontiac Solstice for your consideration. With a shade under 56,000 miles to its name, this Fort Myers-based car could be your ideal modern classic for those weekend cruises.
Pontiac, one of those great American brands that is no more, is something of a legend. Between 1926 and 2010, they’ve given us plenty of great nameplates, some truly awesome muscle cars, potent pony cars and flamboyant full-size sedans. One of their key offerings in that last segment between 1954 and 1966 was the Star Chief. This was initially a top trim package for the Chieftain model before becoming a separate model. Finding a Star Chief isn’t easy because these vehicles were never intended to be collectibles. That’s despite over 203,000 being made in 1955, the year from which this 1955 Pontiac Star Chief hails. So if you wish to own this vehicle, you’d better act fast as it’s in great condition. It’s currently domiciled in Lake Elsinore, California, if you’re interested to go check it out.

One of General Motors’ most successful and popular A-body midsize cars, the Chevy Chevelle ran between 1963 and 1977, across three generations. It was offered in sedan, station wagon, coupe, convertible, hardtop and coupe utility forms. Back in the day, it was the default choice for many families who wanted clean, reliable and easy motoring, especially when you choose a station wagon. Now, some of these classics have become restomods, like this 1,242-mile 1972 Chevrolet Chevelle Concours Restomod LS3 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This spacious station wagon packs a 6.2-liter LS3 V8, an aftermarket sound system, a reupholstered leather interior and more goodies to make it sweeter on every drive. The car has reportedly been refreshed by Luce Customs.
The second generation or C2 Chevy Corvette came in 1963, bringing that famous split-screen window to the party. Sadly it was discontinued after just one year due to rearward visibility concerns. But, the C2 also gave the Corvette things like pop-up headlamps, only V8s under the hood, and the Stingray badge. Hence, finding and acquiring a C2 in great condition is a very smart decision, soulfully, as well as financially. Thankfully, we’ve done the finding part for you, and present this 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible for your consideration. This sub 43,000-mile survivor car from Riverhead, New York comes with a Turbo-Jet 427ci V8 and 4-speed transmission, original keys, the original owner’s manual and even a Protect-O-Plate included with the sale.
