Production by year

Cars built per model year. The bars are Over-Drive's tables (for 1968 and 1969 the same rows as Consumer Guide's). Wikipedia has the same totals, except 1972, where its 5,811 also counts one convertible and three station wagons.

The bodies and their dimensions¹²³⁴⁵⁶

Wheelbase and length for 1968, and every figure for 1970–72, are Pontiac's AMA sheets; 1968 width and height and all of 1969 are Over-Drive's. Over-Drive's specifications match Pontiac's sheets, which it hosts, so we do not count them as a second source. Height is the hardtop's for 1969–71; for 1968 and 1972 the sources give one GTO height without naming the body. Weights are Pontiac's: hardtop · convertible for 1968 and 1970 (1970's marked estimated), pillared coupe · hardtop curb weights for 1972. We have no Pontiac weights for 1969 and 1971, and we leave out Over-Drive's: its 1968 GTO convertible row ($2,996, 3,346 lb) is the Firebird convertible's from the same table, and its 1969 weights repeat 1968's. Over-Drive's 1970 heights swap the hardtop and the convertible against Pontiac's sheet. Wikipedia's lengths, 200.5 inches for 1968–70 and 203.3 for 1971–74, match neither 1968's 200.7 nor 1972's 205.1.
