Vehicle Description
Time to go over your perfect muscle car checklist. A real-deal 1970
Pontiac GTO, check. Numbers-matching V8, check. Original color
combo, check. Nicely documented, check.
The appeal of this GTO is as clear as black and white... literally.
The factory-correct Polar White looks quite nice thanks to a recent
professional respray. And the contrasting black vinyl roof makes
this timelessly attractive. The GTO looks fast just sitting still,
and the color-matched Endura front end and twin scoops on the hood
definitely help this image. As was typical of GTOs, the badging is
simple and almost subtle, with correct lettering on the front
grille, fenders, and trunk. Not much chrome was left on the
redesigned '70 Goat, so they made sure to make the few pieces true
standouts. That's why the form-fitting rear bumper is freshly
re-dipped. 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.
Inside is the factory-correct black interior, and we always love it
when the exterior accents and the interior coordinate into one
uniform package. And this GTO was built this way, so you know it
was something special. High-back bucket seats, a three-spoke
steering wheel, and wood on the center console and upper dash make
this a nice place to spend some time. Plus, enthusiasts know this
was the first year Pontiac's performance cars would feature a
sporty section of machine-turned aluminum trim. It's a
fantastically original presentation, right down to the AM/FM stereo
that's still cranking out tunes. And this one still carries its
factory air conditioning.
One look at the original, numbers-matching 400 cubic inch V8, and
you realize this GTO is all about honesty. It wears the correct
Pontiac Turquoise paint with pride, and it sports a chrome air
cleaner and valve covers (after all. Pontiac knew its customers
would be showing off their engine bay.) Pontiac rated this big V8
at 350 hp right out of the box, and they will certainly hear all of
it thanks to the proper dual exhaust that ends in the correct
bright quad tips under the rear bumper. This one moves down the
road nicely thanks to the TH400 three-speed automatic that's stout
enough to handle all the power, while also smooth for cruising.
Plus, handling is done right with power steering, power brakes, and
BF Goodrich rubber at all four corners.
This is a distinctive GTO, and you get to show its full history
thanks to the factory buildsheet, warranty card, and bill of sale
that all come with the sale. This is power, beauty, and timeless
appeal in one great coupe, so don't let it slip away. Call
