Geocache Description:


Welcome to the thirty ninth in the Gone in 60 Seconds Series

If you are familiar with the movie you will know that there was a list of 50 cars that needed to be boosted (stolen), you do not need to steal any cars to find this cache. To complete the series there will be another 11 caches hidden named after the remaining cars on the list, this is the thirty ninth one on the list 1965 Pontiac GTO - Sharon

The Pontiac GTO is a front-engine, rear-drive, two-door, four- or five-passenger automobile manufactured and marketed by the Pontiac division of General Motors over four generations from 1963 until 1974 in the United States. The name, GTO was inspired by the Ferrari 250 GTO. The moniker is an Italian abbreviation for Gran Turismo Omologato "grand tourer homologated", designating being certified by the FIA for racing in the grand tourer class as a production car with at least a hundred units made.

The Tempest model lineup, including the GTO, was restyled for the 1965 model year, adding 79 mm to the overall length while retaining the same wheelbase and interior dimensions. The GTO had Pontiac's characteristic vertically stacked quad headlights. Overall weight was increased by about 45 kg. The brake lining area increased by nearly 15%. Heavy-duty shocks were standard, as was a stronger front antisway bar. The dashboard design was changed, and an optional rally gauge cluster added a more legible tachometer and oil pressure gauge. An additional option was a breakerless transistor ignition. The 6.4L V8 engines received revised cylinder heads with re-cored intake passages and high-rise intake manifolds, improving airflow to the engine. Rated power increased to 250 kW at 5,000 rpm for the base four-barrel engine.

Just like stealing cars, stealth must be used at all times.
