Gran turismo Origato sorry the O word is an Italian one. Your asking me to remember something I KNEW in 1966. I was only able to drive my grandmother's 1964 Tempest. Then in 1966 you could buy 3 levels of luxury. The Tempest (4 cylinder) The Lemans (6 or 8 cylinder) and the GTO (8 cylinder). In 1989, I could finally afford a 1964 Lemans. Ha ha.
I'll update this tomorrow, on the Italian word.....Trevor.

GTO Gran Turismo Omologato
Grand Turismo Omologato is an Italian phrase Which simply Stated,,,, MEANS
THE ENGINE IS RACING APPROVED, BUT ITS NOT IN A RACING VEHICLE.
The phrase was adopted by Ferrari in 1961 and was a Name plate on the Ferrari 250 GTO street and race cars...
In 1962/63 The person working on the Pontiac Tempest and making it the next step wanted a new name for the 1964 year model Tempest Option V8 model. He personally liked the drive and feel of the 62 250 GTO and He knew what GTO stood for (the meaning) he checked to see if Ferrari had Patened/Register the GTO as a Name brand they had not... So he, with GM Did... That mans name is John Delorean...
The GTO was an option for 1964 1965 1972 1973 1974 year models... And was a Model of car from 1966 to 1971...
I like Pontiac's, GTO69Dixon

G.T.O. = Gran Turismo Omologato.
In 1964, Pontiac borrowed the term from the Italian car maker Ferrari. Ferrari had been making a GTO racing car for quite a while. The english translation is Grand Touring Homologated, which basically means that the car was built entirely from Pontiac parts, and was ready to race right off the assembly line.

The first muscle car. 1964-1974 2004-2006
Considered by most to be the first muscle car. Had Pontiacs large car engine. (389) and dropped it in an intermidate body style. It also had a strong marketing campaign thanks to John Delorean.
