Xander Cage`s 1967 Pontiac GTO

The New Breed of Agent Xander Cage Vin Diesel with his Tattoo`s and shaven head is XXX. He makes his questionable living by selling web videos of his outrageous, thrill seeking exploits, whether parachuting out of a stolen car as it plunges 700 feet off a bridge, or other renegade activities which invite maximum adrenaline flow or, perhaps, a very early grave. Xander has a coterie of friends and admirers in their death-defying subculture, but after his umpteenth tangle with the law, his world is about to take the most extreme detour yet. For what Xander doesn`t know is that he`s been scouted by Agent Augustus Gibbons Samuel L. Jackson, a veteran agent with the National Security Agency whose tough attitude and scarred face mark him as a grizzled but determined warrior for America. Gibbons and the NSA are facing a desperate situation in distant Prague, where their undercover operative has been killed by a gang of cutting-edge thugs calling themselves Anarchy 99, headed by the brutal ex-Russian Army commander Yorgi Marton Csokas and his beautiful but hardened girlfriend, Yelena Asia Argento. Gibbons needs a new breed of agent to get to Prague, go undercover, and play by Anarchy 99`s own rules ... or lack of them ... to stop them from destroying the world and discover just how dangerous their game really is. And Xander Cage, with his astonishing physical and athletic prowess and indifferent attitude, is a perfect, if unlikely and completely unwilling candidate. Gibbons will use any means possible to find out if Xander is his man for the job, even if it means putting him through the most grueling series of tests imaginable. Augustus Gibbons believes that a man can change -- even a seemingly hopeless if talented guy like X, and so, Xander is compelled to acquire a new occupation, and a revised identity to go with it: Agent Xander Cage, code name ... XXX! The New Style of the GTO The GTO was radically restyled for 1970 and received a new front end with four exposed headlamps wrapped in a Endura bumper, new body creases, and a redesigned rear end. The economy engine was dropped, but a new 455cid engine was added though it was not available until the end of the 1970 season on the Judge, signaling the end of GM`s ban on intermediates with engines greater than 400cid. The GTO had evolved into more of a luxo-cruiser than all-out muscle car, as was the market trend at the time. A rare option on the 1970 GTO was the Vacuum Operated Exhaust VOE - Option Code W-73 option. The VOE option was an attempt to simplify the old hot rod trick of opening up the exhaust system for more power. With the VOE option, the driver could pull on a knob under the dash and engine vacuum was routed to a diaphragm on each muffler. The diaphragm opened an internal baffle and gave the exhaust an express route through the muffler. The device reduced backpressure and thus increased power, but it also significantly increased the noise level caused by the exhaust. This option was available only from early November 1969 through January 1970. That was when Pontiac aired a controversial commercial during the Super Bowl that showed off its VOE option. Top GM executives saw the commercial, and immediately cancelled the option, due to the Federal government`s increasing restrictions on emissions and noise levels. Only 233 GTO`s were built with the VOE option in that short time, which was priced at just $63.19.
