1970 Pontiac GTO Super Car Extraordinary

Some say it was the model that was born rich. Sired by a Knudsen, nurtured by an Estes, a DeLorean and now a McDonald. Unquestionably it is a car that has discovered the perpetual image. On the street it is known as the good guy's car-on Detroit's Woodward Avenue it is known as the Throne. It even has nicknames like the Goat, Tiger, GeeTo, Judge. At drag strips it sometimes wins ... but that's being changed. A GTO is a GTO is a GTO. While it changes every year ... it's unmistakably a GTO. InSome say it was the model that was born rich.

In short, it's a damned pure automobile and somebody would raise hell if they started hanging moldings and non-essentials on its shell that might transpose its traditional styling.
