1971 Pontiac GTO

The second-generation GTO changed in several areas compared to the first generation. First up was the GM redesign of the A-body in 1968. The wheelbase was shortened by three inches going from 115 to 112 inches, the total length was reduced by another 5.9 inches, the car became half an inch lower, and the total weight was up 75lbs.

Pontiac switched away from the iconic vertical headlights in favor of horizontal ones, and the signature hood scoop was scrapped in favor of a redesigned multi-vented hood.

A heavily advertised feature was the new body-color Endura front bumper, designed to absorb low speed impacts without permanent deformation. GM advertised the bumper by taking a hammer to it with no discernible effect afterwards. However, “Endura delete” was still an option that would give the buyer for the chrome bumper from the Pontiac LeMans.

This 1971 Pontiac GTO has the latest Pontiac front design with no chrome bumper while still maintaining the chrome bumper in the rear. This vehicle has been stored in a garage for almost its entire existence as last 2 owners have owned for almost the full 50 years.

The outside of this 1971 Pontiac GTO Judge Tribute car is finished in a bright, glossy, yellow, and features multi-colored blue, red, and pink stripe decals over each wheel. Calling this color scheme bold is certainly an understatement, but it looks fantastic when paired with the muted gun metal gray American Racing wheels at each corner.

This GTO muscle car boasts a 6.6L V8 400cui engine with 4 barrel carburetor for undeniable instant power. The GM re-designed A-frame body also gives a fantastic balanced drive so that the car could be easily used as a daily car as well and not just saved for the weekends.

This GTO has a brand new high-performance exhaust system installed in 2021. Flaws in the paint are minimal if any, and it should be noted that the chrome rear bumper is sporting a couple spots with minor corrosion marks.

The instrumentation looks like the day it was bought and all interior gauges, original AM/FM Radio, and even clock still work like new. The automatic stick has the racing feel but is smooth like butter and only requires the driver to put in Drive and Go.

The beige half-cloth half-leather interior has been kept in excellent condition over the years. The front and rear seats look as if they’ve never been sat in. The chunky, leather-wrapped steering wheel looks great although the Pontiac emblem in the center of the steering wheel is cracking.

The dash pad shows no signs of aging and the dashboard and instrument cluster are without imperfections. The car also comes with factory AC, but the unit requires maintenance.

Based on the condition of this vehicle it would be safe to assume there is only minor surface corrosion present underneath the car. As described above, the car has an entirely new exhaust system from the engine to the tailpipes in the rear are all completed restored with a high-performance exhaust system in 2021 per the owner.

This 1971 Pontiac GTO has the latest Pontiac front design with no chrome bumper while still maintaining the chrome bumper in the rear. This vehicle has been stored in a garage for almost its entire existence as last 2 owners have owned for almost the full 50 years.

This is quite possibly one of the loudest color combinations ever put on a GTO. It looks fantastic. The yellow pairs fantastically with the gray American Racing five spoke wheels. The interior looks completely untouched, as if it’s been preserved in a museum for the past 51 years. This GTO looks ready to go straight out of the box. If you’re in search of a classic muscle car that doesn’t need any work done on it, then this is the GTO for you.
