The '67 Pontiac GTO made a debut appearance as 1997 30th Anniversary of '67 Muscle Cars Set. It was designed by Mark Jones. After that, Hot Wheels continue to release new version of it.
Origins
The name GTO, which was DeLorean's idea, was inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO, the successful race car. It is an Italian abbreviation for Gran Turismo Omologato, (grand tourer homologated") which means officially certified for racing in the grand tourer class.
Real Life
The GTO underwent a few styling changes in 1967. The louver-covered
tail lights were replaced with eight tail lights, four on each side.
Rally II wheels with colored lug nuts were also available in 1967. The
GTO emblems located on the rear part of the fenders were moved to the
chrome rocker panels. Also the grill was changed from a purely split
grill, to one that shared some chrome.

The '67 GTO powered by 389 engine received a larger cylinder bore (4.12 inches, 104.7 mm) for a total displacement of 400 CID (6.5 L) V8.
The 400 cubic inch engine was available in three models: economy,
standard, and high output.
- The economy engine used a two-barrel carburetor rather than the Rochester Quadrajet and produced 265 hp (198 kW) at 4400 rpm, and 397 lb·ft (538 N·m) at 3400 rpm.
- The standard engine produced 335 hp (250 kW) at 5000 rpm, and the highest torque of the three engines at 441 lb·ft (598 N·m) at 3400 rpm.
- The high output engine produced the most power for that year at 360 hp (270 kW) at 5100 rpm, and produced 438 lb·ft (594 N·m) at 3600 rpm.
GTO sales for 1967 totaled 81,722.
