Here's a 45 record containing 1970 Pontiac Theme Music that was given to the Pontiac Dealerships in 1970 for them to play in their showroom to promo the 1970 GTO. It was produced by MacManus, John & Adams, Inc. who was the advertiser for Pontiac at that time. Side one contains a long song called Pontiac Theme by Steve Karmen. You can hear this record over on The Tailpipe site. The song is basically three versions of the same song with the following words:
This is the beginning of tomorrow,
This is the beginning of the way it's gonna be for you and me,
This is the beginning of tomorrow,
This is the beginning of the way it's gonna be for you and me,
Pontiac begins a great tomorrow,
This is the beginning of the way it's gonna be for you and me,
Fast and young and full of fun to drive,
Cuts so wide it makes it fun to be alive,
This is the beginning of tomorrow.
These records turn up from time to time. One site visiter named Doug found one in a bunch of 45's he purchased from a garage sale. These scans are from a 45 that Jeff Klein's Dad got from the Pontiac dealership where he sold cars at in 1970.

Here's side two of the 45 record containing 1970 Pontiac Theme Music. This one has two songs on it. You can hear the record over on The Tailpipe site. The second song called Pontiac Theme is a fourth version of the same song from side 1. The first song on this side is called GTO Rock by Cashmen, Piatilli & West. It's words go like this:
Pontiac - the way it's gonna be,
Big Stick - gonna pull the big machine,
Style - oh, it's something else, so clean,
Wheels - tough as leather, big and bad and black,
Pipes - open wide, can't get no-one talkin back,
It's the Humbler, the Humbler, GTO, GTO,
Mountains- step aside, lay down,
Curves - straightin out, fly right,
Highways - just getting shorter by the mile,
Traffic - city traffic, I'm takin you in style,
It's the Humbler, the Humbler, GTO, GTO,
Pontiac - the way it's gonna be,
Wheels - singing song, are you humming,
Horses - do you stop or keep them comin,
Big Stick - just keep on pulling my machine,
Pontiac - takes the fun of driving seriously.
It's the Humbler, the Humbler, GTO, Never gonna catch my GTO.
These recordings were produced by the advertising agency where Jim Wangers worked.

White 1970 GTO hardtop owned by Russ Zangrilli. Russ commented, "I just purchased this PHS documented 1970 GTO RAM AIR IV auto off the 3rd owner. It's got a numbers matching XP motor, XK 3.90 rear, AM-FM 8-track, gauge package, and in-dash tach. This car was found sitting in a car port - for how long it sat, it amazes me the shape it is in. The body is all steel and has no rust or even surface rust underneath it. I could not pass this car by. I do not know what I'm doing with it but for now I got it." CLICK->
Here's a peek inside Russ's 1970 GTO. It's got the Rally Gauge Cluster with the In-dash Tach, and an 8-track Tape Player! See the Ram Air knob under the steering wheel?
