Review “This book offers a model-by-model history of the GTO including the Judge, which points out the mechanical and visual aspects of each one. You will see and learn about some very rare drivetrain combinations and seldom-seen individual options. Pertinent codes and/or casting numbers for the engines, carbs, intakes, exhaust manifolds, distributors, transmissions and rearends are included, as are those for paint, Cordova and convertible top colors, and interiors. There are also complete regular production options and dealer-installed options charts for each year. Even the appendix is stuffed with tons of facts and figures, not the least of which, are a VIN breakdown, assembly plant codes, cowl data tag breakdown, camshaft codes, transmission applications, production number breakdown and other minutia. If you are into GTOs, it's worth a look.” - Thomas A. DeMauro, HighPerformancePontiac.com “However, this book will give you a wealth of information in text and photos.
