Vehicle Description
It's time to make others green with envy as this triple-green 1970
Pontiac is a real-deal GTO upgraded with a big 455 V8,
four-on-the-floor, and a tribute to The Judge.
Keeping a real-deal GTO looking right is no easy task. For
starters, the stylish and dent-resistant Endura front bumpers were
exclusive to the GTOs and not shared with any other mid-size
Pontiacs in 1970. The functional dual-scoop Ram Air hood is another
unmistakable icon of this muscle car. All of this is set off with
the factory-correct Palisade Green that looks quite nice thanks to
a professional respray sometime within it's life. When showing up
or showing off, enthusiasts know The Judge is much more than just
getting the highly stylized name decals accurate. This package was
about adding more street-smart aggression, so getting one of these
right includes extras like the large rear spoiler and the
multi-colored stripes that showcase the sporty flare of the
fenders. And this one has a particular look of premium added in
that you see everywhere from the green vinyl roof to the
mirror-like quality of the form-fitting rear bumper. Plus, the
Rally II wheels are a hallmark of these muscle cars because they
have a stylistic flair with the PMD (Pontiac Motor Division) center
cap that gives them a hint of industrial seductiveness.
The green interior completes the unique triple green package
(exterior, roof, and interior.) In fact, this feels like a very
natural experience inside with the wood-like dash combined with the
deep shades of green on the bucket seats, door panels, upper dash,
and center console. Plus, 1970 was the first year when Pontiac's
performance cars would feature a sporty section of machine-turned
aluminum trim. So this one feels authentic, right down to the AM/FM
radio that's still on display. Looking for the tachometer? It's
outside, mounted on the hood. It was a head-up display option for
racing, and quite frankly, also just another way for the designers
back then to show how they were always thinking about cool
showpieces. This tach goes particularly well with the Hurst
shifter.
There's no replacement for displacement. In 1970 the top motor in a
GTO was the optional 455 cubic-inch V8. This one was not only
upgraded to that ideal size, but they also really made sure the
presentation would impress even the ficklest Pontiac fans. That's
why you have the diaphragm to give this a true Ram Air induction.
Below that, it wears the correct Pontiac Turquoise paint with
pride, and it sports chrome valve covers. This accurate setup, and
the way it runs, reaffirms that there has been a solid investment
in this coupe. That Ram Air option force-feeds the four-barrel
carburetor for extra power, and the dual exhaust happily announces
your performance with pride. In fact, you have complete control
over this big V8 and its thunderous soundtrack thanks to the
close-ratio Muncie M21 close-ratio four-speed manual transmission.
Plus, with power steering, sway bars front & rear, and wide BF
Goodrich T/As, you'll get to fully enjoy this big power GTO to its
fullest.
The sale comes complete with the original warranty card, owner's
manual, reproduction buildsheet, and Pontiac Historic Services
(PHS) documentation. This is one mean green machine, so if you're
