65con2.jpg (7273 bytes) No big changes this year, and why mess with a winning team? But the front-end got the same style as its bigger sisters and brothers in the PMD line, vertical stacked headlights and deeper recessed grilles. The tailight chrome wrapped around the corners of the car and the twin scoops were replaced with a single one on the center of the hood, but were still non-functional. Advertising was now an important part of the GTO-hype, very youth-oriented with smoking tires and pop tunes praising the GTO on the charts.

 

Underneath the frame was built sturdier and the rearaxle was re-inforced. A new option was the mag-wheel looking Rally wheel. Engines were tuned, giving the 4-barrel 10 extra horses (335) and the Tri-Power had 12 more (360). Sales rose at a VERY HIGH RATE....the GTO was a huge succes!
