The second gen GTO is a MUST HAVE for any muscle car and Pontiac enthusiast. Late 60's / early 70's is where these car truly shine. '71 introduced a new front end with an enlarged wire-mesh grill. Top that with those dual scoop nostrils, and man does this beast scream American muscle!
If you are a fan of brown, you will absolutely fall in love at first sight. Brown paint, brown top, brown seats, hard to find anything else in this car that isn't some shade of brown. With GTO badges on all sides of the car. Clearly this car is very proud to be a GTO, as it should be! Plus, beige stripping running from the front of the hood to behind the doors. One of the nicest touches to the interior is the golden turned aluminum gauge panel. Classic Pontiac right there. The vinyl seats are beautiful, and the dash is looking real clean.
Pop open the hood to reveal that 400 CID V8 motor. It is a powerhouse, and music to the ears. Paired to a super smooth shifting automatic transmission. Take this stunning GTO down the road and you'll have everyone turning heads from miles away!
