Pontiac GTO
The Pontiac GTO, was first created in 1964. I would prefure to have a 1965 Pontiac GTO Coupe. It is often considered the first true muscle car. From 1964 until midway through 1973, it was closely related to the Pontiac Tempest, but for its final year it was based on the Pontiac Ventura. The GTO was technically a violation of GM policy limiting the A-body intermediate line to a maximum engine displacement of 330 (5.4 L). So this car is the Billy Bad Ass of American Muscle. The 389 engine had revised cylinder heads with re-cored intake passages, improving breathing. Rated power increased to 335 hp @ 5,000 rpm for the base 4—barrel engine; the Tri-Power was rated 360 hp @ 5,200 rpm. Whoa.
