1967 Pontiac GTO
This was the most popular body style for the GTO, offering a sleek and stylish look without the bulk of a pillar between the doors. This body style had a pillar between the doors, which some collectors view as less desirable today. However, it did offer a slightly more rigid body structure.
This was the least common body style for the GTO, but it offered the ultimate open-air driving experience.
So, if you're looking for a 1967 Pontiac GTO, you're basically looking for a 1967 Pontiac GTO Hardtop since that was the standard body style.
The base engine was a 400 cubic inch V8 with 335 horsepower, but there were also higher-performance options available, including a 400 cubic inch V8 with 360 horsepower.
The GTO had a long hood, Coke-bottle waistline, and distinctive GTO badges.
The GTO offered a comfortable and well-equipped interior, with features such as bucket seats, a center console, and a wood-grain steering wheel.
The 1967 Pontiac GTO was a true muscle car legend, and it remains a sought-after collector's item today.

1973 LeMans GTO was more of a throwback to its early muscle car beginnings in the sense that it was a modest performance overlay to a basic LeMans coupe (D37) or LeMans sport coupe (F37). Although the once-feared 250-hp 455ci was still available in the GTO for 1973, it only had 544 takers. The rest were equipped with the 230-hp RPO-L78 4bbl 400ci V-8. Gear ratios were either 3.08:1, 3.23:1, or 3.42:1 (Safe-T-Track limited-slip optional) in a comparatively stout 8.5-inch 10-bolt rear. Transmission choices were a standard three-speed manual Muncie, optional Turbo 400 automatic (as seen in this example), or the rare four-speed Muncie manual box.

1972 GTO 455 H.O. in Anaconda Gold. GTO sales were still strong in 1969 with 72,287 GTOs sold, but in 1970 just 40,149 GTOs were produced, then in 1971 sales took a nosedive with just 10,532 units sold. For 1972, Pontiac decided to move the GTO nameplate from being its own separate model to just being an option on the LeMans. The muscle car era was quickly dying out and only 5,807 1972 GTOs were produced, just 645 of those received the 455 H.O. engine option.
1970 GTO
1970 GTO Ram Air III 4-speed in Starlight Black with a black vinyl top and Saddle interior. The Ram Air III engine was optional on the 1970 GTO and 1970 Firebird Formula 400, but was standard equipment on the Judge and Trans Am. This 1970 GTO is unusual in that the buyer chose the Ram Air III engine with a 4-speed and air conditioning
