1. 64 Pontiac GTO

23m

The 1964 GTO is the one that started the whole Detroit Musclecar craze – but it almost never happened. GM’s corporate policy wouldn’t allow such a lightweight car with such a huge engine, but Pontiac “finessed” the rules by making the GTO an option to the Tempest Le Mans. The cost of this option? Oh, about two hundred bucks.

2. Pontiac GTO Judge

23m

Pontiac’s GTO is back in 1969 with outrageous paint and graphics, a popular catch phrase, and the 370-horse RAM Air IV engine. What a country!

3. 53-'62 Chevrolet Corvette

23m

The story of the birth of the Corvette from the introduction of the original 1953 roadster with the “Blue Flame” 6-cylinder engine, the early small-block powered Vettes, the “fuelie” cars featuring Rochester’s early fuel injection, and the Route 66 days.
