Book, The Definitive Pontiac GTO Guide 1964-67

After a brainstorming session, Pontiac executives and engineers decided to slot a 389-ci V-8 into the intermediate-sized Tempest against GM rules and the GTO was created. Little did they know what a profound impact that decision would make. The GTO would become a sensation and later was recognized as the first muscle car of the 1960s. Pontiac had a high-performance street car that could light up its tires and outperform the vast majority of the cars on the road. It also reshaped Pontiac's image of a company producing stodgy, lumbering full-size cars into a high-performance youth brand. Pontiac expert and long-time writer Dave Bonaskiewich delves deep into the GTO model and its history throughout this 192-page paperback guide. With the help of over 360 illustrations; both color, and black & white, Bonaskiewich reveals the hardware under the sheet metal: the V-8 engines, manual and automatic transmissions, rear differentials, interior options, color codes, and so much more. A glossy surface overview of this iconic model does not do it justice. If you have been searching for an in-depth, nuts-and-bolts guide to GTO equipment and options, you need look no further.
