Product Description
Product Description
One of the most fascinating stories to come out of Detroit during the muscle car era of the early-1960s and 1970s! An American automotive milestone, the 1964 GTO contained several high-performance components - floorshift, high-performance suspension, 389 V-8 engine, quick steering and dual exhaust. Get the inside story of the long and distinguished history of Pontiac's GTO on the streets and race tracks of America as Statham traces the evolution of the GTO from 1964-74 through all models, including the Tri-powers, Ram Air models, Royal Bobcats, the Judge and more.

The Great one
2 July 2000
Format:Hardcover
A great read for all muscle car enthusiasts. A well done illustrated history of the GTO and muscle cars in general. There is much more then just pictures of old cars. This book is well laid out and fun to read cover to cover or just browse. Exceptional year by year historical view of the GTO. Many great examples of fully restored GTO's and classic original promotional pictures.

The best of the lot
19 Sep 2001
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've just purchaed a 1973 GTO and bought 5 books on the subject. This is by far the best one. The pictures are wonderful and the analysis is both insightful and inspirational in an entrepreneurial sense (getting the GTO done over GM's massive corporate bureaucracy.) A must-read for the true GTO or musclecar fan.

One of Best GTO Books Written
19 Mar 2004
Format:Hardcover
This book is definitely one of the best books written on the Pontiac GTO. It combines great photography with a good chronological story on all the GTO's from 1964 to 1974. Excellent read! Caution to other buyers: the recently released paperback titled Pontiac GTO: Four Decades of Muscle by Steve Statham (published May 2003) has exactly the same content as this book. So if you own this book already, don't bother buying Four Decades of Muscle
