For 1974 Pontiac moved the GTO option to the compact Ventura, to avoid internal competition with the Euro styled Grand Am and to enter the compact muscle market, in competition with the Plymouth Duster 360, Ford Maverick Grabber and AMC Hornet X. The revamped model quickly became a sore spot for loyalists. It was a one year generation, and the original GTO ended with it. It was offered only as a trim package on the compact car of that name.
