1969 Pontiac GTO Judge Carousel Red 19344 Miles
Pontiac first introduced the GTO as an optional package on its Tempest model in 1964. Credited with starting the Muscle Car rage, the GTO moved on the become its own model in 1965, with all major automakers quickly introducing a model to challenge its success. With an emphasis on street racing; the GTO was a clear front-runner among muscle cars. in 1968, Pontiac restyled the GTO, providing a more curvaceous body with semi fastback styling. New design features included horizontally aligned headlights, hidden wipers and optional hidden headlights. The '68 GTO's design was a significant departure from the model's first-generation styling but was extremely well received. For the 1969 model year, small changes were made including a slight grill and taillight revision, rear side marker lamp changes and the ignition key being moved to the steering column. Also in 1969, Pontiac wanted to create a high performance, lower priced, version of the GTO that would compete with Plymouth's Road Runner.
