The single sold over 1 million copies and was certified gold.
Written by John Buck Wilkin, the song was first recorded as his band Ronnie and the Daytonas' debut single in 1964.
This masterpiece marks the pinnacle of the hot rod boom that swept America in the mid-1960s. With a soaring chorus that extolls the performance of the Pontiac GTO and the singer's desire to own that particular car, it vividly captures the pure exhilaration inherent in pop songs of the era. It peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. The single sold over one million copies and was certified gold by the RIAA.
