Motor Trend (September 1973) magazine noted that the 1974 Pontiac GTO "may be a better automobile than the original '64".

Using the Ventura body style as the platform, Pontiac used its 350 cubic inch engine.  With a four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust -- complete with twin chromed exhaust outlets -- this car produced 200 HP.

Adding its shaker hood, special suspension, Rally II wheels, specific black grille and unique GTO graphics, there was no mistaking the 10th -- and final -- version of the original GTO.  Little did anyone know that this would also be the last GTO model.

This "clone" GTO is not presumptious enough to be a "numbers" car.   Rather, it started its life in Willow Run, Michigan on October 2, 1973 with the Sprint styling option and was shipped the following day to Major's Garage Ltd. in Mariapolis, Manitoba (Canada). 

One of only 346 Sprint optioned Venturas produced for 1974, this car had been in the original owner's family since new.  Murray Brown proudly acquired the car in July of 2002, and the modifications have resulted in a GTO "clone".

Murray is a proud member of the  Manitoba Pontiac Association and the Pontiac-Oakland Club International.  For further information about this vehicle, please browse through the various GTO pages or contact Murray Brown at murraygto@shaw.ca or by calling 204-668-0154.   And don't miss out on seeing Murray's next project, a 1948 Pontiac Silver Streak RetroRod!
