The GeeTO Tiger Show
Jim Wangers didn’t create the GTO, but he certainly was responsible for
building the mystique that surrounds the legendary Pontiac. One such program
that fed the public’s hunger for excitement was the 1966 GeeTO Tiger Show. Jump ahead more than 35 years and Jim Wangers is at it again. Jim Wangers and a host
of vendor partners reincarnated the legendary 1966 GeeTO Tiger in late 2001. In 2002
the GeeTO Tiger roared to life at Pontiac
events across the country demonstrating its tremendous nostalgic appeal,
reviving an emotion that energized Pontiac enthusiasts of all ages.
The new GeeTO Tiger is one of the most recognized GTOs
within the Pontiac community. The Tiger continues to draw interest from
fans and event promoters coast-to-coast.
Thanks to the support of a great group of performance and
aftermarket partners the GeeTO Tiger roars
louder than ever.
