What is your favorite car of all time?
Pontiac GTO 1973
For many GTO fans, it was a travesty to call the final two versions, '73 and '74 models, GTOs. They certainly didn't deserve the performance name that had become a legend in the 1960s, but changing times meant that performance was becoming a bad word. Available in Coupe and Sport Coupe form, engines were 400- 455-cid. The downgraded 455 now produced only 250-horsepower.
Pontiac GTO 1974
The final GTO didn't really look much like a Goat, and that was due to the fact that it was an option of the Ventura model. This X-body-based Goat could not hide its economy car origins. Fitted with a 350-ci, 200-horsepower engine, performance was lacklustre, posting high-15-second to low-16-second quarter-mile times in published road tests. When the final '74 rolled off the production line it marked the completion of one of the most successful runs of a special-edition performance model, with a total of 514,793 cars produced.
