I heard that there was going to be a 75' GTO, but as we all know it was cancelled. But there are supposed to be two drawings of this, does anyone know where I can find them?

never heard of drawings for a 75 but have seen a few dealer creations.

take a 75 lemans with a naca hood, 74 decals and sport stripes and you've got a dealer made gto. not a bad looking pkg either.

I've seen a picture of the 75 astre that was supposed to be the GTO. This was supposedly a prototype car that was later scrapped... anybody else seen that car.

The Astre? Man, like making a Ventura GTO in 74 wasn't bad enough? The Astre was Pontiac's version of the VEGA for crying out loud. Glad that one was stillborn.

Hey, if you want a real laugh, check out www.collectorcartrader.com, type in 1975 GTO, and see what comes up. As for a real 1975 GTO, the only thing I saw was the MPC annual kit of the Ventura, and it could be built as a GTO (with the shaker scoop). Dave

thanks for the info, but I heard that the 75 GTO was based on the 75 Ventura
