Pontiac’s 1970-71 GTO was like the rock star of muscle cars, strutting its stuff with flashy quad headlights and a bumper that laughed in the face of low-speed impacts. In 1970, the GTO said goodbye to its economy engine, opting for muscle-bound options like the new 455 HO. Meanwhile, handling got a boost with a rear sway bar and the rare VOE exhaust that cranked up the volume. By 1971, the GTO’s style had evolved with a tighter lamp arrangement, prepping for unleaded fuel and a farewell tour for “The Judge.”
