NEW YORK (AP) General Motors Corp. is bringing back the GTO, the muscle car of the 1960s.

The GTO will be built by GM's Australian unit Holden and will be based on the Holden Monaro coupe, Vice Chairman Robert Lutz said Wednesday.

The Monaro ''shares that V8 heritage and a brawny, muscular stance with the classic GTO and it will make a fine flagship for Pontiac,'' Lutz said during the New York Auto International Show.

Lutz said the number of vehicles to be produced is undetermined and depended on how many Holden can build. The new GTO will be available in the 2004 model year.

It will have a 5.7 402HP V8 with a 6 speed manual transmission and rear wheel drive.

He said the vehicle will be shown early in next year's auto show season, perhaps in Los Angeles or Detroit.
