How To Restore Your Pontiac Gto
Starting life as a hopped-up Tempest, the 1964 Pontiac GTO featured a
389 V-8, heavy-duty suspension, quick steering ratio, dual exhaust, and
a floor shifter. Equipped with this performance package, the GTO set
itself apart from other pedestrian coupes of the same era, and it made
history. Many regard it as the first muscle car. As muscle car wars
reached fevered pitch, the GTO would establish itself as one of the most
prominent performance cars of the era, and from 1964-1972, more than
500,000 GTOs were built.
