Motor Heads and Musclecars
Pennsylvania-based Club Brings Great People and Great Cars Together

The Susquehanna Valley GTO (SVGTO) club was founded in 1995 in York, Pennsylvania, by a group of local GTO enthusiasts looking to share knowledge and camaraderie with other like-minded “motor heads.” Membership in the club does not require ownership of a GTO or any Pontiac, for that matter, just an appreciation of the history of what these great cars represent in the whole of the American musclecar era.

As a regional chapter of the GTO Association America (GTOAA), SVGTO grew in its membership as the club became better known, both locally, regionally, and nationally. The breadth of the club now reaches outside the confines of York County to such areas as Hagerstown in Maryland; Exton, Newville, Ephrata, Lancaster, Lebanon, Conestoga, Carlisle and Mechanicsburg in Pennsylvania; and the greater Harrisburg area. The club has grown into a truly regional club and continues to expand.

The SVGTO is a proud sponsor of M.J. Anderson Loving Care Ltd. of York, Pennsylvania. M.J. Anderson is an assisted care facility for the elderly. The club donates proceeds from their car shows and events to the facility, as well as donating time as chauffeurs for their annual Celebrity Golf Tournament. Members have a strong belief in giving back to the community and urge other clubs to adopt a worthwhile charitable organization in their community.

Throughout the car show season, SVGTO members can be found attending other car shows, cruises, parades and other public venues in the spirit of community involvement. The club also hosts its own annual All Pontiac Show at Jones Pontiac in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. For more information on the Susquehanna Valley GTO club, visit www.svgto.com.
