: GTO DonSS Jul 8th, 99, 12:07 PM This is just something that came up at work. Nobody seems to know what "GTO" stands for? I have heard Grand Touring ?. Still nothing on the "O". Anyone? Thanks. (ps)yes, these guys know I still have the best looking and strongest ride! 69 Chevelle SS RyanS Jul 8th, 99, 12:41 PM As I own a 67 GTO and a 67 malibu convertable with a 396 + .30 ( 67 Rag Rat ) I know this one. Gas Tires and Oil (Just Kidding ) or Grand Tourismo Ohmygoditgoes ( But not as fast as my 67 Convertable ) It stands for Grand Tourismo Omologato.

Ferrari didn't think Pontiac knew what it meant until Pontiac proved Ferrari wrong! BULKSS Jul 8th, 99, 5:22 PM GARBAGE TRUCK OPTIONS sorry could resist an old joke amongs some friends I really like GTO`S MIKE 64elkynss Jul 9th, 99, 4:47 AM Remember guys, in '64, the GTO dominated with the 389. Then in '65, Chevrolet finally got smart and came out with the Z16 (396) for the Chevelle since the 327 still couldn't beat the GTO. From then on it was a dogfight between the two GM models. Tony...
