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.
Exterior and Interior
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.
Engine
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.

The mention of the Pontiac GTO is enough to make one think of the '60s muscle legend and Hollywood star. While the GTO moniker is best represented by its '60s offering, there is another muscle car that donned the same name that at times, can be overlooked. Present today is the Pontiac GTO marque and its muscular personality, but way younger, taking shape with this 2006 Pontiac GTO. With a reported 28,999 miles on its clock, this all-original example is a rare bird in the world of American muscle and is reported to come with its owner's manual, window sticker, and a whole lot of tail-happy memories if you choose to take ownership.
