Special Announcement to the 2018 GTOAA International Convention:
Just added to the Special Display Field in the concours arena:
1964 PONTIAC BANSHEE PROTOTYPE-XP-833
This is the only 1964 Banshee coupe in the world.
Designed by GM Executive John DeLorean to compete with Ford’s Mustang, the Banshee prototype was killed by GM brass as they viewed the concept would hurt Corvette sales. The Banshee was supposed to be scrapped but a GM employee convinced GM to sell him the car. The car was driven less than 1500 miles.
The car boasts a sweeping hood, short deck styling, with a 2200 pound fiberglass body over steel under-body. The styling cues influenced GM cars in the future like the 1968 Corvette and many future GM products to come. This rare car is all original just the way the prototype was developed. This museum piece has been in all history books of GM since 1964.
Make sure you register for the Convention so you can get an up-close look at this rare car. For most, it may be he only chance you will ever get to see it.
