Ever see that GTO “Humbler” commercial on YouTube that has the Goat cruising through a burger drive-in? The driver pulls a knob and all of a sudden the exhaust note achieves puberty. Cool, right? Well, that car has finally been found, and it made its public debut at the Barn Finds Invitational.

This GTO is actually a pilot car built in May 1969, well before the 1970 model year began. VIN sequence number is 28, while the Fisher Body number on the data plate is #001—yup, the first GTO built! Palladium Silver with a blue interior, the Goat also was powered by the top-dog Ram Air IV engine and sold by Cochran Pontiac in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, in September of 1970. The Vacuum Operated Exhaust option was not available on Ram Air vehicles, but as pilot car, this example featured the option for the TV commercial (although not invoiced for such).
