Pontiac GTO Parts
Pontiac GTO owners will proudly tell you that this was considered the first muscle car when it was first built back in 1964. They will also tell you that replacement auto parts for these vehicles can be hard to come by, since its retirement in 2006. The men responsible for the GTO were Pontiac engineer Russell Gee, who worked for the auto manufacturer as an engine specialist, and John De Lorean, the legendary automotive executive who served as chief engineer at Pontiac for many years. Pontiac suffered a blow in 1963. It was in this year that General Motors management put forth a ban that prevented divisions from getting involved in auto racing. This was more damaging to Pontiac than to other makes in the General Motors family, since Pontiac's marketing strategy had long emphasized performance and racing. An executive suggested switching the focus from track performance to street performance. A key part in accomplishing this involved transforming one of the brand's cars, the Tempest, into the Super Tempest, with a larger V8 engine. Via this high-performance street machine, the executives at the brand figured that they could win the hearts and pocketbooks of the all-important youth market, which gravitated toward vehicles with a propensity for speed. The Super Tempest eventually became known as the Pontiac GTO.
