'Grand Turismo Homologato' the name, which is credited to John DeLorean and inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO. It is an Italian abbreviation for Tran Turismo Omologato, which means officially certified for racing in the grand tourer circuit. Of course, the Pontiac GTO was never a 'Grand Tourer' certified race car, and during its inaugural year, was actually a high-performance option package for the Tempest. It is also said that internally it was known as the Grand Tempest Option. What the GTO is known for is being among the first cars that used a large engine in a smaller body. Using a bit of creativity, DeLorean and his team were able to side-step some internal rules, knowing that America's youth were hungry for affordable performance in an attractive package. Contrary to upper management's beliefs, the GTO was a runaway success and would soon be recognized as a real game changer in the much sought-after youth market, assuring its presence in the Pontiac lineup for another ten years.
This prime example of Pontiac Maximum Muscle would end up languishing in a salvage yard in 1969, clearly rode hard and put up wet. It remained outside until the current owner purchased it in 1995 for $100. With plans to restore the car with his then 10-year-old son as a nice driver, it would end up a long-term project that has been restored to national show winning standards.
