Vehicle Description
This 1970 Pontiac GTO Tribute Convertible Restomod is what a cool
custom classic is all about. There's slick blue paint, terrific
bodywork, an A/C interior, fresh components everywhere (even under
the car), four-wheel disc brakes, a six-speed, and much more. And
the rumble you hear comes from upgraded fuel-injected power.
There's less than 300 miles on this build, and the freshness really
shows. The blue paint was laid down with a professional hand. So
the deep gloss and metallic element love the sunshine, And when the
sunlight finds this drop-top, it does a terrific job of
highlighting the straight sheetmetal. The bright bezels, rockers,
and rear bumper add to the shine with the kind of quality we love
in a true American classic. Now upgraded to a GTO, this one gets
all the aggressive details right, too. You have the hallmark
color-matched Endura front end, large hood scoops, quad exhaust
tips, and the large rear spoiler of a true power machine. And those
18-inch modern Rocket alloys do a good job of looking upgraded
while not straying too far from some Pontiac designs. So it doesn't
look out of place, and that really tells us this was a thoughtfully
upgraded classic.
The black canvas roof has a fresh look against the blue paint, and
with the flip of a switch, it powers down to show off an even more
impressive interior. After all, you still get the look of a sharp
black, but now you also get to share all the upgrades with the
world. It starts with a set of upgraded leather seats. They say GTO
in the seatback because these were borrowed from the latest
generation. So you get plenty of modern bolstering for all-day
comfort, and the buckets individually power adjust to your ideal
setting. The door panels, dash, and carpeting all have a look of
quality, and so it makes this a nice place to spend some time.
Plus, you can keep everyone happy with modern features like the
AM/FM/CD stereo w/Bluetooth, cup holders, and R134a air
conditioning. But the best treats are reserved just for the driver.
You get a Hurst shifter, classic Trans Am sports steering wheel,
power steering, and a full Dakota Digital upgraded gauge package
with large speedo and handy tach.
One look under the hood, and you know they gave the best to this
custom. You're looking at a 350 cubic-inch LS1 V8 - just like what
first came in the final generation of the GTO. In fact, this modern
fuel-injected motor even has color-matched GTO covers to make it
look like it belonged here since day one. But before this went in,
there was plenty of work done to the V8. It includes Comp Cams
Torquer V2 camshaft with matching valve springs, LS6 refurbished
cylinder heads, LS6 Factory intake manifold, and all new gaskets.
It's supported by the right pieces, including a new GM timing
chain, new oil pump, and a Griffin aluminum radiator with
thermostatically controlled electric fans. This mighty V8 inhales
deeply with a cold air intake, and Dougs ceramic coated headers let
it exhale with a worthy rumble. This is a terrific power package
that to you have full control over thanks to the six-speed manual
transmission that features a Monster Transmissions billet flywheel
and McLeod hydraulic throwout bearing. As you look underneath, this
has a tidy presentation that also shows you it's a total
performance build. There are tubular A-arms up front, a Hotchkis
six-bar rear, KYB shocks, and Hotchkis sway bars at both ends. A
big power machine also needs stopping force, so there's upgraded
four-wheel power disc brakes with drilled & slotted rotors and the
modern grip of Toyo Proxes T1 Sport tires.
There was a lot invested into this Le Mans convertible to create
your ultimate GTO restomod tribute, and now it's ready to really
hit the streets. This is truly a one-of-a-kind, so if miss it, you
might never find something this cool ever again. Call today!!!
