1971 Pontiac GTO HO 100 mph test drive! for sale auto appraisal Detroit Mi

[@JohnMiller-ug9ej]

Glad I found this to hear that roar. I have a 73 Pontiac Grandville 455 4 bbl currently in storage I miss driving that car late at night after a long day of work

[@davidcarder6364]

Real or not, that's music to my ears.i grew up with the early 60's and 70's muscle cars.the best.

[@knowledgesomemore3564]

There was nothing like those 60-70 muscle cars.My very first car was a 68 GTO. The torque that car had was incredible.It would pin you to the seats in first and second gear with a turbo 400 automatic with the HIS and Hers (DualGate) shifter!!!!

[@barroncrist5779]

The engine has an aftermarket high lift camshaft.Back in 1971 a friend of mines dad had a GTO with the 455 H.O. and it did not sound like this gold GTO.

[@viivcreations9161]

WOW id take this over ANY modern car....

[@546cowboy6]

OK I worked in Pontiac dealers for 20 years and my all time favorite to drive was the Pontiac Fiero GT with that giant boat tail in the rear. Talk about performance that thing would bury the speedometer in fourth gear with fifth still to come. It was like a race car and Go Kart all in one.

[@keneverts2766]

I know this car,the guy did buy it in 77,senior in good old Davison high school,it was awesome then and still is now

[@grgl140]

Snow still on the ground? NO WAY am I taking that outta my garage!

[@happygayconservative4737]

I am unapologetic about being poor, but happy. These types of videos are one place I go, when experiencing the psychological dynamic known as, "lottery fantasy syndrome." My older brother had one of these and, since then, I have loved them.

[@JonnyHolms]

happy gay conservative Exactly how I feel and Think. Same reason I watch too. Been waiting for my numbers to come up for a long time.

[@JM3jUiCe]

GORGEOUS PONCHO! Amazing how all those American muscle Pontiacs have the same roaring sounds... as does my 69 GP.

[@arttafil6792]

daniel keener, I remember my 64 Goat convertible with a 421 Super Duty, dual quad factory installed engine. It had the McKellar #10 solid lifter NASCAR CAM! It had a Super T-10 4-speed and 4.88:1 Safety Track rear end! It used to run consistent 12.2 second times at 120 mph on the track or street. More than a match for that 70, 455 Goat! It was only one of way less than 100 cars like it!

[@audieconrad8995]

Absolutely could not agree more.

[@fleetwin1]

Boy o boy, PMD at its best for sure! How the heck did he keep the car so nice in Michigan! Nice to see a factory tach also. Always loved that color combination, even though I am often ridiculed for it!

[@YouDontWannaFightMe]

I saw an '72 GTO with the original paint at a ConcoursDElegance show that i judged muscle cars at back in July and it was in such good shape, i thought it was restored. It even had the original dealer decal (fully intact) on its shiny factory bright orange paint job. It almost won an award.

[@ЕгорБукраев]

Those gears sound fantastic! You amplify this sound and she'll be just a dream car!

[@AutoAppraise]

Егор Букраев Agreed! this 1971 GTO HO Sounds awesome

[@AlastorTheNPDemon]

That is a hell of an engine note - surprisingly smooth, not that choppy, yet still screams rock-n-roll.

[@shwt121]

The M-22 was GREAT!!! And it looked like you hit bout 92 mph there for a few seconds.....pretty exciting- great video, thanks!!!

Nothing like a Poncho power, friend of mine had a 69 convertible 4 speed Lemans, 350/330, awesome sleeper, full PMD wheel covers, white letter tires dual exhaust, manual steering and brakes, beautiful whit interior black console Hurst 4 speed shifter, white convertible top, deep green exterior, that thing was unreal, no one saw it coming, or heard it till that 4 barrel opened up, and those duals started to sing, and by the time you figured out you'd been had, we been gone, with a nice 8 track tape playing

[@erickort1987]

dude,thats awesome going down the freeway letting it loose passing standard cars

[@AutoAppraise]

It was a GAS driving this 1971 HO GTO! Thanks, auto appraiser Jason Phillips

[@darwynmead2597]

I am a very mature guy right now. This was my first brand new car ever. It was not a force paid or a 455. But I sure had fun.

[@roberthachtel835]

Had one! Sold it to pay for my concrete floor in garage. Bondo bucket money pit. Yours is gorgeous thanks for the vid!

[@AutoAppraise]

Sorry 1971 HO GTO already sold, but I feel ya bro on the comments! Nothin like that M-22 whine!! Thanks

[@b.jlovett]

Hey guys, thanks for the video.....love the 71-72 G.T.O 'S......only disappointment for me , was the chrome wheel mouldings and rear factory spoiler was missing......But a real nasty sounding classic , absolutely beautiful car.......Back in 1988 I was working for a Chevrolet/olds dealer, and the owners son, went to Georgia and brought back a 1971 455 H.O G.T.O judge.....the car was mint inside and out, black with a black vinyl roof and black interior ......The judge stripe package was two tone orange and red on the fenders and quarter panels......All the paper work came with the car showing it was an original car and not restored .......The factory rear spoiler was on the car, and the mileage at the time was showing 66,000 .....It also had the rally2 rims with the chrome trim rings......Later on that summer of '88, they put the car in the show room of the dealer , and the son was asking $ 18, 500.......It was worth ever bit of the asking price, it was basically brand new .

[@NorthFloridaLiving]

I could listen to that engine all day.

[@user-vn6vx6rf7d]

lol please tell me you took that 455 emblem off of the dash pad. Nice compression boost & cam upgrade. Keep it below 5100 RPM!

[@jeffreyb6165]

I recall back in the day when I frequented the car auctions, and when a classic or sports car would make its way to the block a lot of the bidders and dealers would whip out their trusty magnets. Good times 😎

[@billtaylor4224]

that thing he is using is a stud finder for finding metal stud in a wall. I always use one of those weak rubber refrigerator magnets. I strong magnet will stick through thin body filler.

[@jamesrecknor6752]

Good idea!

[@MrGTO-ze7vb]

Nice..1971..!! That is rare with the M-22.!! I had a 1971 GTO in Sunnyvale Ca. Same year, color out , tan in. with the 400

[@chrisdonczyk4942]

Nice goat! Love the colour combo and the noise of the M22!

[@AutoAppraise]

Me too!

[@bigthunder2860]

I had a 1970 455ho trip duce intake a isky 500 cam Mallory's electric ignition, tracktion bars a boagwana multi plate clutch the only problem was the brakes hard to stop

[@cambc9730]

Wow, amazing hearing this large v8 being rung out. sounds awesome!

[@TBullCajunbreadmaker]

He wasn't pulling into that station just to drop the guy off, believe me. If you own a car like this then I would have to assume that gasoline prices for hi-test for the big block isn't going to be an issue for you. The only issue would be that the gas tank seems to be a little small, but that would mean that 24 gallons of gas is a small tank. I remember when this car was bought new that hi-test was about 38-40 cents/gallon. Well , now it's approximately 10 times what it was back then so you do the math. At anywhere between 8-12 MPG, depending upon right foot pressure, you will get lots and lots of enjoyment and fun in the car. I should know, I'm quite experienced with the HO 455 but that was way back then, I think I would go broke now if I had to buy the gas for this monster, but I would go down with a smile on my face and blue tire smoke in my lungs. What a rocket ship.

[@blackbrass1973]

TBull Cajunbreadmaker I can attest to your claim of low gas mileage. It took five dollars of fuel just to run my 1971 Pontiac Firebird around the block back in the 90’s 455HD

[@donaldmassaro7276]

Very nice car and you can hear just how solid it is it sounds like it's probably very strong

[@marcushall69]

I love this car. I had a 1972 Olds delta 88 455 rocket mosfet. It just needs updating.

That front end ❤❤❤❤

You had a few test drivers that hit triple didgets but this car just pure class air conditioned COMFORTABLE CRUISER.

Yeah Baby, Yeah.! That's how you test-drive American Muscle.

[@jennybaji421]

💥I own a 70 STAGE 1 Buick HOWEVER 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 I gota say ….this car is unbelievably good looking OMG!!!

[@Rick-Williams59]

Pontiac never used the term "LS5". No such engine for Pontiac exist. Pontiac never made a big block either, all blocks were the same size, bore and stroke differentiated the cubic inches.

[@jackmehoff4613]

Some folk refer to the "large journal" engines (421, 428, 455) as big blocks but you are right, other than that they're basically all the same.

[@markanthony3275]

The last good year for GTO

1971 GTO original owner since about 1977? Anyone else catch that.

Same owner since 1977, as in the second owner. I heard that several times. Never heard him say original.

Gerald Durant Yup...instant bull shitter alert 🚨 How much more smoke did he blow up our asses? Especially when he showed the red K-Mart numbers 455 on the dash.

[@gelandewagen4376]

great muscle car beautiful and powerful and it would be painted black and that would play the role of a bad racer on the road and that would be afraid of him at the sight and hear the sound of his powerful engine

[@user-qr7ee2cp4y]

i love these appraisals. it's nice to get an idea of what these cars are really worth. i'd be interested in prices for some of the normal,driver quality cars like maybe a tempest or chevellem camaro, or mustang.

I almost bought one for $3500 back in 1979. Exact same car but a litter color. I still regret not buying it. I passed because the owner was a jerk....my mistake.

[@RandalColling]

sorry LIGHTER color.

[@dennisjoseph629]

I'd be the last person to defend one of these "dealers" or such but according to Wippikeneda Pontiac used LS5 for their H.O. 455 option code. L75 was the base 455... I thought only Chevy used it, guess not. LOL

[@svisek]

Very nice GTO. Is the car still available? What is the asking price? Is there a site with the pics and more info?

Sweet ride - could benefit from cross-over in exhaust system for torque and sound while running.

Lol I know I would. I drive a 2004 V6 Dodge Dakota SXT and I top it out every day on the highway on my way to work. Gauge says 120, but 116 is the limit. It takes off fast and accelerates fast too, much faster than the standard V6 2005 Dakota my brother drives. I love to fly. With something like this I would go to jail in a matter of hours.

what rear end gears does it have?
