What do you think of when you hear the letters GTO? If it's speed and style, you're on the right track, and this week's Muscle Car Of The Week is long on both. This 1969 GTO Convertible is loaded with options rarely seen on these cars, and also packs a Ram Air IV 400 with a 4-speed. From The Brothers Collection.

It is worth noting that the 370hp rating is under rated. This was done to deal with a Pontiac Directive that no car exceeds one HP per 10lbs. of car weight. The reasoning behind this restriction was that insurance companies were dramatically raising the rates on "high powered cars". This under rating was acheived by "pegging" the rpm at which the HP rating was listed. They used the estimated RPM at 70mph, approximately 3900 RPM with 4.33:1 ratio rear end. At 5600 RPM the Ram Air IV actually produced 420hp and 445 lbf⋅ft of torque.
There's just something about a Pontiac. Fabulous history. One of the most versatile V8s in history. My personal favorite.
This GOAT is one tough customer.
My first car was a '69 GTO. That guy does a good accurate description of the car.
absolutely love old Pontiac's. this was terrific. gorgeous car.
This guy does an excellent job of describing their cars.
If the factory paint on the ‘69 goat had looked as good as the beautiful specimen in this video, PMD might still exist.
The ram air 4 actually pumped out 430 horsepower
Stunning is right Kevin I'm in awe and to think they cut Pontiac?!!! I say put Jim Wangers in charge of GM and we would see them once again dominate the auto sector!!! His generation knew how to build an exciting automobile!!!
The Brothers are actually nearing completion of a Museum that will be semi open to the public. Their collection is the most comprehensive collection of musclecars in existence.
One of the most beautiful and most powerful cars I’ve ever driven!
The Ram Air IV produces a lot more than 370 horsepower. These engines were purposely underrated for insurance reasons. True ratings are more in the 440-450 area. Pontiac was very sneaky back then.
I owned a frame off restored 1 of 14 Red on Red /white top auto RA IV for 5 years and sold it in 2004. Wish I kept mine and may have if it were a 4 speed. Yours is a Beautiful Car !
Had one a 68 great car . My brother still has his 66
This must be a massive collection, you never run out of cars.
The Pontiac 400 Ram Air IV had one of the nastiest sounding idles of any engine from that era. The best high performance production engine Pontiac ever made.....besides the 421 Super Duty of course
Love to see you guys do with them what they were supposed to be done with... roast them tires
a RAM air IV in a convertible, with 4.33 gearing. Someone had deep pockets when ordering this, it wasn't cheap. They didn't care also about gas cost at the time as well.
Beautiful. First time that I have seen front corner lights on a GTO.
Still loving the show! You are usually very accurate and informative with the commentary. So I get a good chuckle when you sometimes say thinks like "boat loads of torque" !! haha
