The GTO was built off an existing car (the Holden Monaro), but so was the GTO (the Tempest). The toughest part of the sell to Pontiac fans was the styling and not necessarily because it was bad. The GTO had been out of production for a long time. In our mind's eye we created the memory of the perfect GTO. No car, including the originals, could live up to that standard.
When I was doing some research for our project GTO I came across this photo.
This is how I remembered the it in this generation.
I certainly didn't want to remember the one.
I loved mine.
