John DeLorean created the first muscle car in 1964 when he offered the 389 cubic-inch engine from the full-sized Pontiac Bonneville as an option in the mid-sized Pontiac Tempest. DeLorean borrowed the acronym 'GTO' from a car winning races in Europe, the Ferrari 250 GTO. The three letters were the abbreviation for Gran Turismo Omologato ('grand tourer homologated') meaning certified for racing in the grand tourer class. When used on the order sheet for a Tempest, GTO stood for Grand Tempest Option.
The Tempest with the popular GTO package was restyled for 1965, gaining 3 inches, the iconic Pontiac vertically stacked headlights and a simulated hood scoop. This particular example has the rare dealer-installed optional metal under hood pan and gaskets, opening the scoop and converting it to a cold air intake. It's also a 'tri-power' car, with three 2 barrel carburetors sitting on the high-rise intake. Aluminum front brake drums make this GTO truly special.
