The triumphant return of the Muscle Car & Corvette Nationals (MCACN) featured many stunning Pontiacs on display.  Among them, a very special GTO was unveiled on the first day of the show.  A GTO that was on display at the 2019 MCACN show.  Although this time it looked a bit different, to say the least!  For this installment of Pontiac Talk, we chat with owner Paul Lesiczka about this very special GTO.
