Vehicle Description
There are few real-deal 1970 Pontiac GTO convertibles out there -
less than 3,800 were produced that year. So when you're looking at
one that has an unbeatable color combo, and it also has a
fire-breathing 400 V8 and four-on-the-floor... well then, you know
the ultimate GTO collectable is up for grabs.
If you like Chevys, you call this paint Hugger Orange; but if
you're a Pontiac person, you know this is Carousel Red. It's one of
the most iconic colors from the GM palette, and it is exactly how
you want a real-deal GTO to look. This standout color stands above
the rest a bit more, too, thanks a professional application that
makes this upgraded paint look butter-smooth. When you combine this
with the super-straight body, you really get to appreciate the
curves that make the second-gen GTOs a sought-after legend. But
there's a lot more appeal to this one than just the paint and
sheetmetal. It's a thoughtful total package. The cold-matched
Endura front end looks great, and the headlight bezels shine light
new. This bit of brightwork coordinates with other mirror-like
pieces, including the rockers and form-hugging rear bumper. Plus,
this GTO has a nice dark side. The custom black paint on the hood
draws attention to the dual scoops, and it also coordinates with
the GTO badging and new black folding roof for a great look against
the bold paint.
If you like the way this looks with the roof in place, then with
the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal a full black
interior. So you get the well-done color combo with the top up or
down. There has been a solid investment in the interior, and it's
all about giving you the classic muscle car experience. So this
looks quite nice, right down to the details, like the GTO badging
on the doors and the hallmark machine-turned dash panel. Even the
classic AM radio works! And as much as you'll like the vintage
look, you'll love that this has a true driver's machine feel. That
means bucket seats up front, a center console in-between, a
wood-rimmed steering wheel, and a full set of round gauges. Plus,
that large tach goes particularly well with the Hurst shifter.
Under the hood is a 400 cubic-inch V8. This has the look of proper
Pontiac power with the corporate turquoise block, but you can also
see this ultra-tidy setup has a lot more going for it. It's a
fully-built power package with a Demon four-barrel carburetor,
Edelbrock Torker low-rise intake, Butler Performance Pontiac valve
covers, and Edelbrock aluminum heads. It's got the right supporting
pieces, too, like a Performance Distributors ignition system and a
serpentine belt system with billet pulleys. This mighty motor fires
up with gusto, and it makes a terrific rumble out for the X-pipe
dual exhaust with Pypes mufflers. And you have full control over
this power and its muscle car soundtrack thanks to the Muncie M21
close-ratio four-speed manual transmission. There's also power
steering, power front disc brakes, stronger boxed rear arms, and
sway bars front & rear. It all makes for great all-around classic
drop-top.
Something this special also comes with build receipts, maintenance
records, and PHS (Pontiac Historic Service) documentation. This is
the rare, strong, and outstanding GTO you've been waiting for.
