I swear, every time I know one...to make it complete...Little GTO ~ Ronnie and the Daytonas

Awarded to UncleJoe.

I reckoned he would be of the proper maturity to call that one.

I guess the original song technically was called just G.T.O. ( no 'Little ' )

I remember this as the most coveted* car of the mid-60s. Pontiac couldn't have dreamed of a better promotion to feed the fever than this song.

Informational Accessories

(siphoned from various sources):

The GTO is considered to be the first factory-built 'Muscle Car'.

The song came out shortly after the car and spent 17 weeks on the pop charts, rising as high as No. 4. More than a million singles and 500,000 albums sold. It was recorded by a group of Nashville session musicians under the name Ronny and the Daytonas.

Fans and owners of the Pontiac GTO proudly call their favorite car a 'Goat' and label their meetings as a 'Gathering of the Goats'.
