Wikipedia says the Pontiac GTO was built from 1964-74. It was revived from 2004-6 but built by Holden in Australia. (UPDATE - I saw one of these in 2015 and it was a very hot number, good looking car, perhaps downsized just a bit and FAST!)

At 19, I had a '65 GTO 389 4-speed with Tri-Power (3 deuces)! Traded that in for a '69 GTO 400 4-speed four-barrel carb. BOTH CONVERTIBLES!
I had 70 GTO neighbors across the street one brother had a 68 GTO Chris had a 69 GTO he pulled the 389 motor dropped in a 455 ci big block. 2024 still has his car.
My dad and I have been restoring a 67 gto, just got the stereo and speakers hooked up in the car, this was the first song I played in it... obviously haha
Of course it was, nothing more appropriate than that
My parents got my grandmas 66 gto after she moved to Florida and didn’t want to take it down with her, she got it fixed after finding it in a junk yard after her last car got stolen
@@DogeDragone company class starts crying at movie called contact info conjuring sent from beach boys before
@@derekllewellyn6663 what does that sentence even mean and how does it have anything to do with what I said
Ya I had 65 tri power fast in the day keep the faith 😊😊
I'm 72 years old, I guess I'm just so partial to those cars of the 50's, 60's, 70's. I don't need hands free driving, back up cameras, computer screens and al, the others things. Wish I still had the cars I owned then. Even my "unsafe" Corvair!
I’m 16 and I helped my uncle restore his 68 GTO with a 4 speed and I drove it to prom it’s in the green brass color I can burn some rubber with that car I love it and I drive it every weekend in the summer to go to our local 50s ice cream joint I take my Girlfriend there with that car only because it means that much to me
I am 4 years older.
Don't miss all the maintenance that old cars require.
Nor do I want to take long road trips in one.
My Tesla is way more fun to drive considering how slow the old cars are compared to a Tesla.
Just way better styling back then, more soul, much like our country!
@@josephgeorgeejr7039 in am 76.
You can keep old cars..
Too much work to keep them going.
Want soul???
When I want soul I drive my Harley heritage Softail classic..
Makes lots of noise..
Cars not so much soul..
Amen! Brother!
I worked at the G.M. plant in Baltimore where they built the GTO. When "The Judge" was introduced, we all tried to get to the end of the line to hear her fire up!
I wanted one of those really bad but I was only 21 and my insurance man told me that being under 25 even Dairyland wouldn't insure me and they insured just about anyone.
I have a 68 GTO convertible that was built in Baltimore. It resides in CA now.
There's nothing like old-school rock and roll!
You said it,rock on!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Its not really rock'n roll. Its a song commercial.
@@gregoirearmaos7944 yeah, because pontiac really needs the advertising these days.
Hello, are u serious? Don't you actually know Beach Boys history? Can't you hear a commercial when you hear it? YES : they'd take the advertisement any day of the week all week, all month and every year! This was even more true in 1963-65...
McDonalds, Ford, Intel, Apple, etc etc still advertises to this day ya know...they'll never let go. This "song" was simply an elaborate way to make an advertisement and i'd say they camouflaged it well. Repetition(distraction) is the key to your sweet little minds and pockets. Have a good one in your 409!
There's nothing like old school Detroit Muscle.
I agree. Good memories. The birth of the muscle car era. "My 1965 Goat."
The sound, the cars, the guys! 60's.☺
The great music, the fast cars, and the hot chicks! Yeah, the 1960s!!!
Gas was cheaper then hahs😊
It's 2024 I'm 42 and all these old car songs still rock and makes me wish I was born in a different ers
Loved how they sang a lot about different cars!
Well, the 60s was the prime era of car culture, kinda sad that nowadays were struggling to even make decent cars, and all of them look the same and are all extremely hampered by emission regulations
Anyone remember the “Rip Chords”
Cars, especially muscle cars, were coming into their own. Loved to gather to watch the race 1/4 mile. Sure wish I wouldl have purchased one of these. Good times.

A pal of mine just inherited a 65 GTO. When we were kids he had a 66, I had a 65. Now, at 73, it’s still a blast. We’re heading to the boneyard in style.
Edit: It took a year and a half to get it back. Lookin’ good though.
How cool is that
@@mavjimbo It’s working for us. Two months ago he dropped his car off to be painted and converted to a show car. Not my thing, but he’s lovin’ it.
You could be fully restored for a few hundred grand or so :o)
@@utetrahemicon Thanks, but I’ve seen enough already.
God bless Pontiac folks!!
My first car was 1969 back in 1974 , best ever and many fond memories of times tearing up the pavement with my GOAT !!!
Love driving my 65 GTO listening to this....3 dueces 389 four speed...nothing better than hearing the base from inside the car from the exhaust...
I also had a 65 G T O back in the day best muscle car ever.
Just an awesome song. Great times and I wish we could get them back.
I'm 76, "...those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end..."
We had no way of knowing just how good the times were, nor how quickly they would end.
I’m far too young for this era, but I have a 1964 convertible and have these songs on a playlist to listen to while just sitting in said car.
My dad had one in '65, his third car, and I drove in on the weekends at 20 yrs. old.
Went to the pub with that 10+ babe, driving that master piece and then to the parking place in the woods.
Never raced it once but found all gears in park in the woods.
I just know that summer is on the way when I listen to the beach boys there were so great back then and I will never stop listening to the beach boys.
I was fortunate enough to be driving in the early 70s and I remember these beautiful machines. They were cool then and they’re still Cool 😎❤️
Don't make them like they use to:) George Carlin rules:)
Those harmonies are fantastic!
Still one of my fave Beach Boys songs, and all these photos of classic GTOs were really cool, too! There was nothing like the 60s, the good ol' days! Thanks for posting.
This was a fun song to make a video.. always a favorite, nice beat, got to look at lots of pictures to pick the best and did some good reasearch on the original & more recent GTO's. You are so welcome, thanks for the comments!!
There's only one problem. the song was originally recorded by Ronnie and the Daytonas. This Beach Boys version was recorded in 1998 on a Beach Boys salute to NASCAR.
+scuBarry the version by Ronnie and the Daytonas is better in my opinion if you haven't heard it give it a look
That information (re NASCAR Salute) is in the notes. See the comment from Whiskyninja666 .
See the comment from Whiskyninja666 .
Best years of my life! Wish I could back to then!
I am absolutely convinced that no song could capture the excitement and spirit that we high school teenagers felt when hearing this. I'd wager that one or two bragging pimple-faces ACTUALLY begame speed-shop wrenches after hearing it.
Playing garage-band R&R guitar since 1962, I absolutely LOVE this (and Bach, Vivaldi, ect.) as a piece of music
yea I remember those days, the first car I bought, when I was a teenager, was a 56 chevy belair with mag wheels and a soupped up 265. solid lifters, bored out to a 283. 3 speed on the floor. really neat paint job. cost me 600 dollars . my favorite was "4o9"
One of those cars that make your blood boil! That you Pontiac for having built the most exciting cars! I ain't dead yet I still hope to get one!
Thanks for posting! I love mine....and it’s faster than hell, numbers matching, black with red guts, 4-speed, 3.55 gears, posi and exhaust splitters. Got guys in $100,000 Porsche’s stopping me on the road. Nothing like the feeling of driving a 389!
Supercharged?
Heard The Beach Boys sing this in Jacksonville, FL in 1986 or 7. Great show.
My FIRST CAR was a Black '64 GTO !! Red interior and 3-deuce 389 with 4-speed and posi-trak!!
Floyd Burdett - I learned to drive on a '64, midnight blue w/black interior, 389 w/tri-power, posi-traction and 4 on the floor. I loved that car. A few years later the ex blew the engine racing a 442 on his way to work. He rebuilt the engine, but it never ran correctly after that.
Mine was Daytona Blue. 3 2s, 4 speed, 4.1 gear. Burned a quart every 100 miles!
64s are the rarest of the breed too. Worth a good chunk of change compared to later years.
@@rexcars1835 - I saw a red '64 listed online for $45,000 and had been completely restored, per the ad.
I HAD a 64 tripower, 65,67 and 70 ramair. Coulda,woulda,shouda kept all of them. Now i have a 16 turbo civic,bummer
Love both versions... Awesome...
As you say... it's truly just a matter of personal preference.
Love these car songs brings back great memories hanging out with my main bro
I'M 55 AND STILL LOVE THEIR MUSIC!!!!!
Gotcha beat....I'm days from turning 83.
I'm 80 and I still rock
One of the best looking cars ever made. “66 and 67 😎
Yes.
One of my best friends had a 67 gto in 1974 . I had a 70 road runner and we were sooo close in a quarter mile it was unbelievable. I’m sorry to say but I took him by a fender but I really wish my best friend was still alive. I miss you sooo much Barry Holder. 😎🙏🙏🙏
Oh yes
Growing up my Dad had a white 66 GTO... loved that car.
What do I Pontiac called it a try power
Awesome song about one of the best muscle cars ever !
Before the Eco freaks took over
Were GTOs supercharged? If not what is the whine in the lyrics?
I am trying to explain to my grandchildren that if you had a GTO convertable , all you had to do was slow ( not even a complete stop) down at the bus stop and the girls would just jump right in . Met my first wife that way
I miss the good old days when I grow up in Coventry Rhode island times were so great back then.
Now THIS is what the Little Old Lady from Pasadena drove!❤. Awesome song. Beach Boys forever 🎉
Little old lady terror of Colorado blvd drove a red super stock Dodge Dart hardtop
@@garyblanchard1084 I know but it would've been super cool to see a little old lady putting one of those beautiful muscle cars through the paces.🤣
Cars with 4 headlights seem to always be better looking to me 😎. This video has some the best shots of GTOs I've seen
My brother and his wife met over their cars. She had a brand new GTO. He had a brand new Roadrunner. And everything else is history. 58yrs later!❤❤❤
Cool. 52 years here.
Weird! My brother had a GOAT and sister had a Roadrunner. Cars from the 60's were so cool, such a wide variety of styles then. Today all cars look pretty much the same. My best friends mom still has her Nomad!! Goes to car shows all the time. Dad had a Studebaker wagon and then they got Corvairs! How many cars have chrome trim around the gas pedal, brake and clutch, nice touches.
I learned to drive in a 66’ Grand Prix. Always wanted a GTO but even though it wasn’t a Goat that 389 in my dads GP would SCREAM!
That was your dad screaming 🤣
Did that 1966 GP put the power through a four speed??
In 1965 in San Antonio a buddy of mine, Ron, had a yellow GTO with black interior. Superb vehicle, ran like a scalded cat. It was a real chick magnet, too!
After he barely managed to get permission from GM to even offer the GTO package, imagine the smile on John DeLorean's face when the car was so popular that it had a top 10 hit song written about it. :)
IT'S BAD ASS RIDE
Had a buddy in high school who had a primer black 1972 Le Mans with 400 4 speed. It wasn't the GTO although it was the same body style. I always loved that car.
I have a 72 and it was my paps. It’s a Le Mans but never understood “why” when it’s literally a GTO.
@AustinFertick you're right. They may as well had the GTO badge.
First time I actually hear the Beach Boys' cover of the song. Many people erronously think that the version by Ronnie & the Daytona is the BB's version. But the voices of the singers is REALLY different. And let's not forget about the music itself being REALLY different in both versions too.
4th grade and my first male teacher. He drove a GTO and all the little girls in my class were all crushing on him. He was fresh out of college, tall, blue eyes, blonde hair. Full of energy. I especially got into spelling class, lol, memories!!!
GREAT MEMORIES : 1971 .GT.O. , 455 H.D., 4 speed, factory headers, Endura bumper, dual exhaust with twin chrome tips exiting under rear quarter panels, last year for this muscle before they took away the high compression and added all the pollution control hardware
Vintage Beach Boys Vibes with beautiful babes, the two-legged kind as well as the 4 wheel type, Li'l Pontiac GTO! 😁👍
I didn't know the BB's did a rendition of "Little GTO". Nice. I had 3 "Goats". Government emissions regulations were the death knell for the true Muscle Cars. I was right there in the middle of it, enjoying every moment and not knowing our muscle car days were numbered. After a while, with so much working against us, it just had to happen. I cried "96 Tears" when it did in the early '70's.
Yeah me too. I had a 69,70 and 71. Wish I had anyone of them now.
The Eco freaks took over
As An aging teeneybopper from those years I loved it😂
Some of the best looking color combos on the goats in this video. Thanks for posting.
Toward the end of college in the early 1970s I had a LeMans, which is toned down GTO. Never had a problem getting dates.
My step mom had one in Verdano green with a black vinyl top and it was very cool.
Great cars that started it all
Had a G.T.O. ,a Plymouth Road Runner,an then on to a 280ZX. I loved them all !!!!!?
Danny Stephenson I had a 70 Road Runner and a 280 Z . I loved the old Road Runner the best. 😎
Yeah but which one was the one that was gonna kill you. Road runna baybeeeee.
in 68 i had a choice... buy a goat.
or a 62 vette.i chose the vette.....loved the vette...still have it....but you cant beat the BB doin "my little GTO"
..
The first car I bought with my own money was a new ‘66 GTO in the fall of ‘65. Draft notice in fall of ‘66. I really wish I had that beast today.
Way to think; those were the days as long as we didn’t have to Viet Nam and I didn’t. I miss those days.
my ancient humbler was that deep blue 1966 with the black droptop. Wish I'd never sold her.
Everything in the song (Ronnie And The Daytonas was the original- and best version) was right on, except we put a gas-guzzling Quadrajet carb on it. Ahh, the 70's
Burning rubber??? Back seat heaven and four on floor ...top down summer nights radio blasting and yup that's heaven 😂😂❤❤❤
日本からです。いい曲で、日本車にGTOを名乗る車種が存在していたのに初めて聴きました。ありがとうございます。
I had a 64, 4spd a 65, 389 3, 2s 4spd convertible, a 66 4 spd, and my first real crush,was with a girl named Alice,who used to cruise the Blvds back in the day, with hot 65 Canary Yellow Convertible in those short summer pants and short sleeve summer blouses they wore back in the late 60s. I wouldn't trade those times, and memories for anything they have now! And oh, the smell of a lobing cam, dual exhaust, and raw gas coming out of those pipes! ( The Chicks Were Hot, And Lobing Too!)
I've always loved the straight lines than the more bulbous ones.
Some claim GTO starting in 1968 became bloated along with other GM super cars
I always Love the Goats.1966
Best sales model year ever
Great song!!!
Hands down...the sexiest car ever built.
Still drive a racing green pontiac!.....lots smaller these days.....rocks tho!!!
Verdano green was my favorite. in the '60s
I have a orange (repainted) 1969 GTO pon-pon, a gas guzzler to be sure but it is SOOO fun to drive and it is a head turner! One of the baddest muscle cars ever!
Steve Hammond is you goat for sale? I have a 69 ram air 3 judge.
Steve Hammond that's what gto stands for gas, tires and oil, lol.
you have a legit judge?! '68-'70 GTO's are really cool anyways!
boer harms yeah, legit,have a good day.
I have a orange 68 GTO, it was the year before the Judge option so I installed a 72 Judge 455. I've been offered more money for my Ram Air heads than I bought the car for ($4500) in 1992... 1 month after my 17th B-Day. Still have the goat and it looks better than ever. I listened to my dads generation when they all would wish they never sold their classics.
Bring the GTO back !
love this song
The GTO is a definition of cool !
LOW Key here from 2021...grooving and moving my butt to this song...killer workout:) GEORGE CARLIN RULES:)
I'd drive every single one of those gtos and the first three girls also !!!! 😁😁😁
My dream muscle car. I can see it now. Cruising down the highway. Oh well I am dreaming
I am working on a 65 GTO i Hope the Lord will see me finish it it's going to be so pretty and 389 tri 4 speed GTO red thank you for showing us this ❤
All original, not jacked up in the rear, GTO's, are worth very much ! ALL ORIGINAL.
Man I miss Pontiac!
Don't we all
Although it took three decades to finish PMD
Great version!
I was born in Motown, grew up in that fine city and therefore got an excellent view of the birth and development of Detroit Iron.
In his monumental auto-industry treatise, On a Clear Day You Can See General Motors, John Z. Delorean told how Pontiac Engineers developed the "concept car" GTO. It was the first U.S. car specically designed, directly out of the showroom, to HAUL ASS!!
I never owned, drove or even rode in a GTO, but a buddy took me for a ride in another GM ass-hauler, his Olds 442. Without positraction that sumbitch could lay rubber 1/2 block!
I love this song reminds me of my uncle Kevin had a 67 gto in the day of younger age
My dream car is in here, the GTO Judge convertible, oh my.
Goats rule damn it!
I’m a huge fan of the Beach Boys, but I was around when the original version of ‘Little GTO’ by Ronny and the Daytonas aired. When you’ve listened to theirs as many times as I have there’s just no substitute. I like the real deal. (Same with the good-looking O.E.M. chassis @0:27 No modifications necessary.) 🧨
WOW.. PLAYED THIS ONE WHILE DRIVING MY '69 GTO WITH 400 HP, 4 SPEED, HURST, AIR SHOCKS AND MY 8 TRACK PLAYER WITH LOUD SPEAKERS... IT'S 4 WHEEL POSTI MADE IT SO I COULD RIDE ANY SNOW/ICE ROADS AND IT HUNG SO LOW TO THE ROAD, I HUGGED THE MOUNTAINS ROADS.. BOY DO I MISS THAT CAR.. BEST ONE I EVER HAD ( THOUGH I DID LOVE MY COUGAR) .LOL
The GOOD OLD DAYS!!!!
My mom worked for Hurst during those times. Got to see the famous Hurst Hemi Under Glass first tested in the Hurst parking lot...:-)
When I was in high school back in the 70's, my best friend's boyfriend had a GTO, we graduated in 1976 and he still has it, it's white with a black top. He drove the GTO and she had a little blue Datsun 4 door; I had a green 10 speed bike lol. I'm short and I used to have to lean it against a curb, have the left pedal up, put my left foot on the pedal and push forward 🚲🤣😂🤣😂
🤣🤣
I`m 70 years old and i drive my 67 GTO coupe every day in summer!! 😁😁😁😁😁
Always liked the Beach Boys. Never heard that one. Thanks. Ripped it off for my 20K playlist.
❤ when I was when I was younger I drove a 1970 GTO
If one had a full blown GTO in say 1967, they had quite a car. Insurance companies made it tough to buy coverage for such cars.
WAH WAH!
This song really gets my goat
To think it was the car kids that named it the GOAT. Says everything about the car and it's effect on pop culture like no other car.
My cousin owned race horses in a syndicate and told me "get your goat" referred to stealing a goat that was kept with another owner's horse to keep it calm in order to stress it before a race.
64 GTO was the beginning of the muscle cars.
I LOVE THIS VIDEO
I’m 73. Had a 69 goat. Love that car.
The joy
What can you say but Get turned on in a GTO love the songs and the cars 🌴 Beach Boys for life
You are SO right! Not much more to add!
WTF!!! Superior to the hit version. Beach Boys are so great that this magnificent recording is a never released throwaway. Stunning!
LOVELAND / FT COLLINS COLO CONCERT / 32 COUPE + 409 IN FRONT OF STAGE 😃
I'll take one of each...girls and cars!
These guys wrote songs about cars that were at the time the best ever. In 2024, turns out they were right
66 gto was my first car back in 1975
Gotta love those red lines and Tiger Paws
That GTO at 1:14. \m/
Pops had a 1969 Mercury Cyclone. 428CJ Massive car with massive grunt. AJ Foyt won the 1972 Daytona 500 in that car. Richard Petty in the #43 STP Plymouth Super Bird left the race with engine trouble. Foyt finished the race leading over 140 laps.
Turn it up,blo it out,little GTO
Old school at it best
My goats love picking out the weeds because they grow tall in the city's where the corn donut don't grow
