The VW Bug is no toy; it’s the genuine off-road article, with a licensed VW Baja body to prove it. It has more than the looks of champions of the past; it has the same survival skills, too. It takes harsh terrain in stride, takes sand dunes as easily as dirt roads — and can run in any weather condition. MagnaFlex™ components in critical areas provide the durability and strength to go the distance — and the Stress-Tech™ FREE Replacement Guarantee backs up the performance promise with a full year of real protection.

It’s ready-to-run — and ready to go beyond where the sidewalk ends.

Motor City’s most muscular creation.

Conceived and constructed in total secrecy, the 1964 Pontiac GTO is considered the first true “muscle car” by many auto aficionados. The prototype was so confidential that none of the head honchos at GM® knew it even existed. At first, sales expectations were so low that production was limited to only 5,000 models. However, the GTO was such a success that Pontiac sold 32,450 units in the car’s first year. Kit features optional engine and hood components, optional wheels, soft black tires, chrome-plated parts and colorful “street machine” decals.
