Very nice, brings back memories. Our relationship with cars was so different then, and like'em or not, one could almost always identify model and year of almost any car on the road. I liked the '55 Chevy's. Quick, who can tell the difference between the '55 and the '56? And how is the gas cap accessed?
I hear you, Doug; you are so right.

Between 1988 and 2002 we owned four different Grand Prix Pontiacs. I'd still be buying Pontiacs if GM still made them. I bet I'm not the only one.

So why is your picture of a 1965 model?
Note the distinctive shape of the grille halves, and the turn signals in the grilles rather than in the bumper.

I was wondering the same thing. I had a '65 Goat, blue with white top, 389 Tri-power, 4 speed. What a super car and looked stunning.

Mid to late '60s muscle cars are still so amazing, especially for those of us who were teens and young adults in that period of time. I liked all the Ford, GM and MOPAR muscle cars, although some more than others.
I had a 1968 Firebird convertible, 400 cu, 4 spd. Actually a bit of a lemon, but sure was a lot of fun to drive and enjoy. Much later in life, I had a 1998 Corvette Coupe. It was awesome. Virtually no problems in 16 years of ownership.

Regardless of the year of the car, Rob, very good shot.
My thoughts exactly.

OOps, it's a 1965, I liked the 1964 best, not as big and hippy on the rear quarters.

The GTO you are showing is a 65, not a 67. The headlights are similar, but the roofline is different. I had a 67 way back when...... :-)

I use to own a 68' Pontiac GTO Red 2 door 455 v8 engine 4 speed Thurst Transmission. Carb was a Holley 1250 double pump 4 barrel. Back at that time gas was cheap. My only problem l was having with it was that it kept on blowing blast resistors and ignition coils at the same time. Called Pontiac they told me replace distributor did that problem still kepted on. One day was driving it resistor blue and lost control of vehicle totalled vehicle out. Lost over $25,000.00 on a fast car.

The GTO's, especially the Judge always resided in my mind as the Classiest Muscle cars. My friend inherited his Grandfather's '67 Convertible back in 1976. It only had around 6,000 original miles on it. It looked as if it just came from the showroom. Since his Grandfather was an engineer for Pontiac Motors, G.M. knew of the car and my friend let G.M. travel it from our neighborhood to L.A. to use it for some commercial purposes. G.M. paid my friend enough money for using this vehicle in various shoots that his first 3yrs. of college were paid for. We grew up in Waterford, Michigan and we were only 20 minutes from Pontiac Motors, where is which our Fathers also worked. My Father and our family were good friends with John DeLorean who was the one that the GTO line was designed and engineered by. Those were the best days of my life.

My favorite is in relation to the 60's versions of the vehicle in general, so go suck an egg.
Amen!
