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.

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.

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

Great book for the goat owner. Learn about your vehicle and it's brothers. Great pictures, great info. Sure brings back memories.

First, you need to know that I owned two new GTO's. I absolutely loved them. Especially the first one, a 1966 GTO Convertible; the first year the GTO was its own car.
This book is great. It has great pictures of all of the different GTO's. Even the '73 which few people even know existed. It actually had some information I did not know!
Good history of how the legend started and how GM reacted to it both before and after the totally unexpected popularity.
This car is considered the definitive muscle can. It was new, fast and a looker to boot. It lead the way for all of the other muscle cars.
If you were (are) into cars of the late 60's and early 70's you will like this book.

Well Written Book,Good History, Concept car thrown in there but no Late Model GTO*HOLDEN* ..My first GTO book. on THE GREAT ONE aka The GOAT.

If you think you know about GTO's from reading wikipedia, this book has plenty MORE information that you'll be interested in. Definitely worth buying used (at the very least,) good information and nice pictures. Tells about insider information, how Pontiac and the GTO came to be, and who was behind it all. I'll definitely be reading it again and again. If you own or have owned an old GTO, get this book. Also contains information about GTO's competitors, even within the GM division

Decent coverage and review of the GTO for most enthusiasts. Background information and pictures are clear and well presented. Another great addition to my collection.
