Overview of 1971 Pontiac GTO For Sale by Owner

A symbol of rebellion against the corporate machine, the Pontiac GTO was the cheeky result of General Motors banning their divisions from competing in auto racing in 1963. Three plucky gents, namely Bill Collins, Russ Gee and John Z. DeLorean weren’t pleased. However, these three smarts realized that while they couldn’t officially compete in racing, there was nothing to stop them from making thinly-veiled racing machines that could be sold to customers, to do as they pleased. Hence, the GTO was born in 1963, with a name inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO. Based on the Pontiac Tempest, it saw a large V8 stuffed under the hood and some neat performance upgrades. Today, we’ve got a 1971 Pontiac GTO for sale from Schenectady, New York. It’s done 80,462 miles and comes with a nice 400ci V8 to enjoy, paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox.
