When the Pontiac GTO debuted in the fall of 1963, few people could have
predicted that the landscape of the performance car would be changed
forever. With the new GTO, a genre of automobiles was born that combined
image, character, and “muscle.” 515,797 GTOs rolled off assembly lines
from 1963 through 1974; it’s undeniable just how influential these cars
were.
What Pontiac couldn’t have predicted was just how collectible the GTOs
would be decades later. Author Peter Sessler dissects the GTO and
presents critical data including engine and transmission codes, rear
axle identification, exterior and interior colors, options, production
numbers, and VIN decoding. If you’re at a car show and someone asks you
what the distributor number is on your GTO, open this book and find the
answer.
Correctly restoring a GTO is no easy matter. With this book you take a
giant step toward understanding just what components are needed to bring
your old Goat back to life. Possessing this much data is a surefire way
to become a GTO expert. It even fits in your back pocket!
