Today, the Pontiac GTO enjoys widespread notoriety in the automotive world. However, it's not well-known that it was, in fact, the first true muscle car. It was created by taking a large displacement V8, and shoehorning it into a mid-sized car body. This combination of a big engine and a small stature made for blistering straight-line speed which, at the time, had never been seen on that scale before at the factory level.

As time went on, the GTO sold well in many different variations. However, there are quite a few unique and rare GTOs out there, sporting rare body, motor, and transmission options. Our list will explore the 10 rarest models of what is arguably Pontiac's most popular muscle car, with the Firebird and Trans Am not far behind.

    The Ram Air option was not an intake as the misinformed speaker states. It was a performance option with different heads, cam, carb, exhaust and fresh air intake
  • @angelo_giachetti
    I had 1 of 56 1967 GTOs convertibles that was ordered with the ram air RPO.
  • @Onry1
    Don't know why they keep saying post coupe. It's a Coupe, post coupe has a B pillar...

    My brother Larry R.I.P. had the orange had a 400 4 speed . 1970 great cruiser
  • @mikemanning7809
    Always liked the Pontiacs design, my dad bought a 69 GTO judge when he returned from Vietnam, both uncles had the 68 and 70

    I bought the last Pontiac in 2009.A black and silver fully loaded Solstice 5 speed turbo convertible. last one of the month before the closed the factory. Still have it today. Not a powerhouse sportscar, but it's really nice still.

    No mention of the GTO Royal Bobcat? Any year? You’ve got to be kidding.
  • @unclerudy9797
    I paid $850.00 for my 1969 Ram Air III Judge in 1977... It was beautiful ! Those were the days...
  • @jimmyhamm6041
    My first real muscle car was a 1970 big block 455 Buick LeSabre . 365 HP 450 torque . Awesome burn outs .
  • @dsvf34r12
    What about the older one? I heard Royal Bobcat GTO is among the rarest. A few of them had 421 SD engine and even rarer with 428 HO engine from Grand Prix. But the real deal is of course, the Ram Air V unit, available on 1969 only.
  • @cdjhyoung
    Rarity doesn't equal desirability. I'll take any 67 GTO over any of these pretenders.
  • @aafcdriver
    the "bait" picture on this video is a combination of super Bee and GTO , it's a shame that this poster had t use a fake to get you to watch...
  • I am personally biased [I had a '70 GTO way back when] but I comment her mostly because I loved the teaser mashup car on the video ad. That looks awesome! I see you did one for Buicks too. You should post more of those, "Muscle Cars GM should have made" kind of thing.
  • @JamVee
    I had a brand new 1964 GTO 2 door coupe with a 4 BBL and a 4 speed. It wasn't available with a Posi rear end, but that was easily remedied with a Police Cruiser rear end with either a 4.11, 3.56, or (with some hunting) 5.12 gears! It was a sweet ride and with carb mods, after market headers, and Cheater Slicks, ran the quarter mile at Long Beach and Pomona in the the mid 13's!

    The thumbnail is what made me look. I knew I never saw a Goat that looked like a Buick(?). I don't know What that looks like.
