>>> would like to see photos of all of them.
I'd like to have photos of all of them to post!
But since I'm one of those that respect copyrights, I am restricted to either photos that I have taken or that I have the rights to.
However, if anyone should supply me with good GTO photos, there is always more room on my server!

I immediately picked up on the Pontiac/Ferrari GTO comparison from Car and Driver in'64. I think that article did indeed launch C/D's success in auto journalism. It was very sensational at the time.
I owned a new '66 Pontiac "Goat", and it was a great car. Pontiac got it right -- my '64 330 2+2 is very similar in feel and performance.
A comparison with the Ferrari GTO may have sold magazines, but it was not the right Ferrari to compare with. Their later comparison between a 4 HL 330 2+2 with the hulking and overweight fullsize Pontiac "2+2" was also a mismatch -- the lean and mean '64 Pontiac GTO vs the '64 330 2+2 would have been the right match.

Pontiac did not have to call their car GTO. Infact nowadays somebody would sue ;).bluecat49 wrote:I immediately picked up on the Pontiac/Ferrari GTO comparison from Car and Driver in'64. I think that article did indeed launch C/D's success in auto journalism. It was very sensational at the time.

In the end the term GTO on the Pontiac is a bad joke, as good as the car was/is ... hardly a homogated GT for racing!
