1971 PONTIAC GT-37 Pontiac was trying to compete with risinginsurance costs and higher car prices when they came up with the GT-37. This wasfor the most part what Pontiac was trying to achieve when it came up with TheJudge. But the GTO Judge still carried a price tag and high insurance premiums.So in 1970, Pontiac engineers took a base T-37 and added performance goods fromthe GTO for their new GT-37 option. These performance options included a base350 engine all the way up to the 455 HO engines. Rally II wheels without trimrings, 70 series white letter tires, dual exhaust with rear valance cutouts anddual exhaust tips, dual sport painted mirrors with LH remote, hood pins.Optional stripes borrowed from the GTO and all of the performance optionsavailable. But to keep the price low which was the desired goal. GT-37 base carshad no carpet (rubber mat), no power options, no floor insulation, void of sometrim including the Pontiac emblem in the grille and only one coat hook. Top itoff GT-37 came with bench seats only. Of course you could option a GT-37 out ifone desired. After a short run in 1970 Pontiac continued the GT-37 for 1971 andended the model year with a little over 5800 units sold before it wasdiscontinued. 1971 1/2 models now included a specific reflective stripesincluded in the option list and the GTO borrowed stripes were no longeravailable. Some car magazine testing at the time listed as the GT-37 whenordered with the 455 HO 4 speed where some of the fastest cars as they were voidof a lot of weight due to it's stripped down options.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
