Short trunk suggests a Firebird, not GTO. Maybe a Holden GTO (Aussie GM division). |

Where are the script plates that prove it is a GTO? What makes you believe it is one? All I can tell from the photos is that it is a Tempest/LeMans convertible. I cannot see any identification marks that indicate it having the rare GTO option. What I can see is the stainless trim around the lower edge of the car, which, albeit available on the GTO at extra cost, was rarely (if ever) ordered on these. The wheels are anything but Pontiac, the exhaust end box too. To me, this is a pimped up, molested with poor little Pontiac in the wrong hands, but a GTO? I doubt it. |

I agree. It looks too common to be a GTO. |

This is probably a 1969 Pontiac Tempest convertible. Notice the rear fender side marker style. I looked at this car in slow motion when Goose is mounting the motocycle and I found that this car is right hand drive (probably converted). Probably has the aftermarket wheels. |

I don't know much about pontiac down under but the rear marker light on this car is the same shape as the GTO 6.5 litre emblem. In the US the 68/69 marker light was a Pontiac arrowhead for all A-bodies (and the 68 firebird). Pontiac used the 6.5 Litre emblem only for the GTO, and this marker light has that shape. chances are if it was an australian market pontiac and not an imported GTO, it would have been called something other than tempest,lemans,or GTO and all bets are off as to how it would have been badged (the majority of australian market GM cars were fullsize four doors so a convertable two door is rare in aussie land). |

Australia assembled GMH products locally from 1946, the most popular being the Pontiac Parisienne up to the late 60's. However a number of larger dealers imported small numbers of convertibles, coupes, GTOs and Firebirds during the sixties and early seventies. More info here.... http://www.ozgm.com/ |

The original building at the left still stand, but the building on the right is now gone, replacing with the new one at Claremont Street, South Yarra, Victoria, Australia at Link to "maps.google.com" . |

Watching this movie in its first run in the movie house, this Pontiac was a real confusing apparition. Most of the other cars were unidentified to my 18 year old eyes in 1979 (excluding the stupid 59 Chevy and the mundane 60 falcon pickup). Remember, at that time the whole movie had been dubbed with american voices. This was an american car, relatively unmolested. The aussie cars were unknowns. |

The wheels are Appliance Wire Mags, introduced in 1972 and somewhat popular thoughout the 1970s. They pop up on eBay from time to time. |

GTO rear side marker, GTO bodycolor front bumper, GTO badge placement on the front fender, and the brochure shows the GTO with that rocker trim on the rear fender. Also, if you're going to privately import one of these, why not go all the way and get a GTO? It'd be a lot of effort for a Tempest. |

My God, both of these building are now gone  |

Scene was filmed not far the Warehouse Night Club where Jim Goose's bike was tampered with while he was inside. |

There was no 1969 Tempest convertible. It would have to be either a Custom S or LeMans if not a GTO. -- Last edit: 2015-08-31 04:29:08 |
