Whether you are an avid collector, a restorer, or just an everyday car addict, Over-Drive Magazine has something for you. From personal stories from everyday people to all the history and specs for the car fanatic.
“GTO” Does one have to say any more than that to evoke images of power and performance in the muscle car era? Whatever you brand loyalty, you cannot say that the GTO was not the icon of the mid-size performance car of the 1964-1970 period. Not only did Pontiac define what we later came to call the muscle car, but during the initial period of that time – on the street – Ram Air GTOs were a force to be reckoned with.
Pontiac V8 engines are broken into two categories, small main journal and large main journal engines. All Pontiac engines have the same deck height except for the 1969 303 Trans Am engine and the short-lived 301 and 265 V8s of the early 80s.
It was all about shock towers. What’s a shock tower and why was this important? Ford, who called themselves “the Total Performance Brand”, was caught napping. On the track, they were going head to head with the Mopar Hemi, on the street, their 427 big car was perceived as the end in stop light performance.
