Saturn Simon ◊ 2006-03-01 17:58	Wasn't sold as just "GTO" by this point?
Geeto67 ◊ 2007-04-11 16:40	I am positive that this is not a GTO but just a regular 1966 Pontiac Tempest 4 door. It does not have the GTO hood (with scoop), and the Left grill emblem says pontiac and not GTO which was common on the tempest. Also the turn signals are in the bumper and not the grill as they would have been on 66-67 GTO's. It probably isn't a lemans because it doesn't seem to have the side gills next to the headlight that a lemans would have.
