Description

By: Thomas DeMauro .

The Pontiac GTO's mix of style and performance captured the imagination of the country's youth. The combination of the GTO's 389-cubic-inch V-8 stuffed into a mid-sized chassis and Pontiac's incredible marketing tapped into a wave of enthusiasm for factory-built high-performance cars. On the boulevards, at the drag strip, and even on the airwaves, the GTO became a legend.
Original Pontiac GTO 1964-1974 provides a bumper-to-bumper look at every component that makes the GTO a classic, from the distinctive taillights of the 1964 GTO to the Radial Tuned Suspension of the 1974 model. Year by year, component by component, you'll discover a comprehensive and useful guide on factory specifications for restoring, reenergizing, and simply admiring the pride of Pontiac.
Starting with the inaugural 1964 model, inside is a complete, illustrated evolution of the GTO. Detailed year by year and building on the previous models - what was carried over, perfected, and introduced- you'll not only understand what made, say, the 1970 - 1974 GTO's corner-carving characteristics superior to most of its competition. but why and how Pontiac engineers created what was destined to become the most popular musclecar ever.
Full of 250 detailed color photos that feature the intricacies and beauty of the body, interior, and magic under the hood, the result is a complete presentation like no other. Plus. easy-to-read sidebars highlight the available engines, options, and differential ratios for each production year. Finally, every loose nut and bolt is tightened with the information-packed appendices.
Pieced together like a finely restored GTO, this book is the result of Thomas DeMauro's lifelong passion for Pontiac's beloved musclecar. His accumulated knowledge and wisdom on the subject and painstaking research and attention to detail deliver a GTO ride otherwise available only from the real thing.
