Love the Non-stock up-grades. Beautiful car. 65 my favorite. Had one as a DD from 78-87. Trips, muncie, 3.55 12 bolt (up-grade). Tons of fun. High 13s with G-60s in the rear. Being from the north, not a fan of AC. Thanks for the memories.
Very cool - Another good one - The Sheriff of Catoosa County Georgia drove a 64 389 Tri-Power GTO Actually chased down Junior Johnson in his NASCAR Chevy who drove off the track for home . Later the Sheriff drove a 1979 T/A With a Built 455 - he liked those Pontiacs :) .
I have a hard time with the GTO being considererd the start of the muscle car era , when you had all the big 3 in the early 60's with differant hipo options Ford 406-427 Dodge 413-426 wedge Chevy 348-409 All this prior to 1965
Not in mid sized cars though. The Ford Thunderbolt was, also from '64 but was a limited production factory race car. Similar deal with pony cars must be build on a compact chassis, so technicaly the '70+ Cuda and Challenger were not pony cars as they were built off a midsize chassis
That scoop was a dumb thing to do. John DeLorean himself said that the scoop was in a really shitty place on the hood and it got no air at all. He's basically starving the engine.
Great video my 1st car 65 Pontiac GTO 389 3 duces 4 speed 391 rear ‼️15 years-old then....
Going through the archives and ran across this one. Really enjoyed this episode and love GTOs.
Thanks for uploading
Good to learn of REAL old cars
Love this old episode!

"See it in captivity at your local Pontiac Dealer. *ROAR.* " I never thought I'd see a commercial like that.
Imagine if we did have a man like Larry Shinoda.
Gorgeous
Back in 1977, I bought a used Boss 302 for only $500. That won't happen again!
Do you still have it?
$500.00 USD in 1977 is $2500.00 USD in 2023. But $2500.00 for a BOSS 302 is still a good deal! 🤘😎🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The best an this years
I think I remember reading one time that an east coast state (Connecticut?) ordered some GTO cop cars with 421 engines. Anyone else recall this?

Glen Bard, that's 100% FALSE. No GTO ever had a 421 engine and CT never had any GTO cop cars.
I wonder if my Grandpap ever watched this?

Look up the 1938 Buick Century for an early muscle car....
