1967 Pontiac GTO 389 - Plum Mist (Ertl Elite) 1/18
Product Details Temp out of stock
Multi-carbed engines made Pontiac GTOs popular from the start, but for 1967 they were discontinued as General Motors shifted it's advertising away from racing, or "aggressive driving." The GTO easily adapted to this corporate edict; its standard engine became the 400 cid, with a couple of higher powered versions available. Exterior refinements for the '67 included the rear end, which held four lights on each side, as well as the introduction of Rally II wheels. The muscle car movement was about to reach maximum appeal and the 1967 GTO brought the brawn with the best of them!

The 1964 Pontiac GTO is universally credited as the first muscle car — a mid-size Tempest fitted with Pontiac's 389 cubic inch V8, the engine reserved for full-size cars. Pontiac engineer John DeLorean pushed the car to market against corporate policy, and the GTO became a sensation, selling 32,450 units in 1964. Car and Driver's infamous road test comparing it to a Ferrari GTO helped make its name. The 1969 GTO Judge with Ram Air IV engine represents the performance peak.
This 1/18 scale replica of the 1967 Pontiac Gto is produced by Ertl Elite to collector-grade specifications. At 1/18 scale — the most popular collector scale — the model measures approximately 10 inches in length and displays beautifully on a shelf or in a glass cabinet. Every detail — from paint finish to badging — is reproduced from measurements taken from the original vehicle.
