With the muscle car era quickly coming to an end due to federal legislation aimed at reducing vehicle emissions and introducing unleaded fuel, many power-hungry automobile enthusiasts consider the 1971 model year to be the final chapter for potent, carbureted horsepower. At Pontiac, a new body style was introduced for the famous GTO, featuring wire mesh grilles, horizontal bumper bars, more closely spaced headlights, a slightly longer wheelbase, and a new hood with scoops relocated to the leading edge. Production for the 1971 GTO was significantly reduced, making these vehicles exceptionally rare.
This 1971 Pontiac GTO Hardtop is finished in its code-correct Cardinal Red (75B) with a Black Cordova vinyl top and Black vinyl bucket seat interior (269). It retains its factory, numbers-matching 400ci V8 engine with a 4-barrel carburetor, producing 300 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque, paired with the original Turbo-Hydramatic 400 3-speed automatic transmission and a 3.23 rear axle ratio. Features and options include factory air conditioning, power disc brakes, power steering, all tinted glass, 14” Rally II wheels with raised white letter tires, center console, dual outside sport mirrors with driver-side remote adjustment, and an updated Kenwood AM/FM/Cassette audio system with matching speakers. Additional upgrades include an HEI distributor ignition, Grant GT steering wheel, and AutoMeter gauges mounted under the center dash for better engine monitoring.
This example was sold new by a local dealership and remained in the region throughout its life. Over the years, it traded hands among Pontiac enthusiasts, receiving an engine overhaul around 2013 and an older repaint. The interior has survived well and remains largely original. Cooper Cobra GT tires were installed in late 2018.
