1969 GTO

The GTO series really made a big fuss when it debuted and over a few years this line became really popular, being the sole choice of many fans around the world, especially the 1969 GTO.  And it came as no surprise as the GTO had a few older models which proved to be very reliable and also very fast cars. On top of that the GTO was one of the best looking muscle cars ever to be produced. Given the fact that this car had also one of the highest one year sales, this didn’t bring any changes to its price and thus it was rendered as a pretty affordable car for most people. If you wanted you could also get other V8s which would sport out more BHP but regardless of the GTO you would buy, there would be no need for that extra power, because the base model was so powerful.

The 69 GTO was intended as an economic muscle car which would maybe come to be as a pillared coupe with just one base color and some rubber floor mats on top of that. Of course, it would also feature the best performance equipment that was available at that time. The Judge was launched in the winter of 1968, in December to be more specific and it didn’t come as a standard, but as an option for the GTO and for it you had to pay $332. This option was available for the convertible or the hardtop. The catch was that it would also incorporate a host of features which would cost you way more when you decided to have them ordered separately.

The Ram Air III 366 BHP came as a standard which was very good news and it was the evolved version of the GTO’s 400 CID V8. Pontiac decided to lower its price a bit by having a 3 speed manual gearbox fitted in featuring the Hurst T Handle shifter.

If you wanted the Ram Air IV, then a price tag of $390 had to be paid. The 1969 GTO also featured an underrated 370 HP and also a radical cam.
