1965 Pontiac GTO

The 1965 Pontiac GTO was 100 pounds heavier than its predecessor, the 1st-generation GTO, but the extra weight made a big difference. The two-door hardtop came with characteristic stacked quad headlights, heavy-duty shocks, and a completely redesigned dashboard.

A beauty to look at, the Pontiac GTO was also a high-performance speedster and a 1965 favorite. It featured an impressive 0–60 mph acceleration time of just 5.8 seconds and an observed top speed of 114 mph. This exquisite model is said to have been imitated countless times, both by General Motors and its competitors.
