I am doing a paper on the Pontiac GTO and have some questions about the first generation GTO’s that I am hoping someone can help answer and verify, primarily the 1964 and 1965 offerings. 1.) Aside from the 389 cubic inch V8 were any additional engine sizes offered? 2.) If I understand this correctly, 1964 was not a GTO but a Lemans with a special option code which made it a GTO? Could this option be ordered on other models or body styles, ex: 4 door sedans? 3.) 1965 was the first year a GTO model was offered by Pontiac not as an option? 4.) Why is the 1964 Pontiac GTO referred to as “The first true Muscle Car”?
