During its 11-year life span, Pontiac sold 514,793 GTOs. The peak
year was 1966 and the low was my year, 1973.
Upon seeing this, people theorize that my 1973 GTO is somehow more valuable on the market (supply is low...so demand must be high!) I have found just the opposite to be true. The 66 and 67 models years seem to be the most valuable. I'm guessing this is because so many people owned them originally, plus there were so many second-owners of these cars. Plus, when one thinks of a "classic" GTO, these two model years, with their classic venturi styling and stacked headlights, are what most people remember--and desire!
To the left: Note how it drops like a stone after 1970. You may wish to supersize this chart to get a better look.
Secretariat won the triple crown with his victory in the Belmont Stakes. He is the first horse to take the triple crown in 25 years!
