1967 Pontiac GTO Base Economy (Worst)
In 1967 the GTO got a new 400 engine which brought even more power to the customers. However, despite the enormous popularity, GM was afraid that the sales would go down since all other brands introduced similar muscle cars. Not just cars from Ford or Dodge but from other GM brands as well. So Pontiac’s marketing experts envisioned an Economy model (via Hagerty).
For customers who want the looks and the name but cannot afford the high-output engines and other go-fast options, there was a GTO economy. Which featured the same 400 V8 but with a smaller, 2-bbl carburetor that produced 255 HP and matted to a manual transmission. Even though this GTO looks like GTO, it doesn’t have the same performance so it’s featured in this part of our list.
