23. 1970 Pontiac GTO
1970 marked a big defining year for GM muscle cars. The Camaro and Firebird were both completely redesigned as were the GTO/Chevelle/Cutlass trio. The 1970 GTO bares a striking resemblance to the Chevelle. You could get the Judge option, which many consider being the greatest among muscle cars. The 14-inch factory rally wheels are some of the most iconic rims in the automotive world. Every element of the design that went into the GTO was unique in some aspects.

The car had a serious punch off the line, and that’s why buyers loved it. The GTO was also much larger than the smaller Firebird interior-wise. This meant that drivers could have more passengers with ease, the six-passenger seating was pretty cool at a time when muscle cars were cramped for space. The 1970 GTO was and still is today one of the most iconic faces of the muscle car era. For the price, you got one of the fastest and best-performing cars on the road.
