Want to be the boss? This is how to do it! 1 of only 241 GTO
convertibles with the 455 HO motor. This one is Pontiac Historical
documented, plus it has #'s matching engine and colors. It was
treated to a detailed, body off frame restoration and needs
absolutely nothing besides a new home!
EXTERIOR: Rare and repainted it's original Burgundy Metallic Poly
color. The paint was laid out with great detail then polished to a
highly reflective finish. The Judge side stripe decals add a real
pop! The bulging hood with scoops gives it a tougher appearance.
Looking down the side of the body it is straight as an arrow with
smooth contours and crisp lines. Nice alignment on the doors that
close easily with minimal effort. I didn't see any cracks in the
rubber bumper and it fits right. The grille, headlights and bezels
are all spotless. The rear bumper has a lustrous shine and the
taillights look original but in great shape. It has a completely
restored black vinyl power top with a glass window. The remaining
glass looks good with new rubber seals and fuzzy strips too. It's
sitting on a completely restored 14" Pontiac rally II wheels with
correct lug nuts. They are wrapped in reproduction Goodyear
Polyglass tires.
INTERIOR: Completely refinished and looking sharp! The seats were
recushioned and upholstered. It has correct GM seatbelts front and
back. The center console and automatic shifter are in fantastic
condition. All the door panels and armrests look like new. The
visors, dash pad, gauge bezel, climate controls, and vents were
replaced. New carpet on the floor and a set of reproduction floor
mats. A digital stereo fits in the factory hole. The machine turned
trim on the dash is spotless. It has a refurbished tilt column and
a nice fat formula steering wheel!
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: What a torque monster! The 455 HO was
conservatively rated at 360 hp. The torque is very impressive at
500 lbs! This is the original motor with matching #s. It was
totally rebuilt with a stock appearance and looks fresh too.
Equipped with air conditioning, power steering and power brakes.
Factory dual snorkel air cleaner is correct. The original Harrison
radiator and Rochester carburetor were both rebuilt. All the hoses
and belts were replaced. The original cowl tag is still in place.
The squirters are hooked up and the battery is properly secured
with a reproduction Delco topper too. The underside of the hood is
complete with insulation. Everything is neatly painted and looks
good. This is a highly detailed engine compartment!
TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The underside of the trunk lid and jamb are
painted body color. It has a reproduction sticker and the
weatherstrip was replaced. Inside you have all rock solid steel
with a neatly applied spatter finish paint. New mat, tire cover and
well liner. A full size spare tire, jack assembly and car cover are
included too.
UNDERSIDE: Frame off restoration! Everything looks fresh with a
stock appearance. All steering components were replaced or rebuilt.
Same for the suspension, all the springs, shocks, bushing and
hardware were replaced front and back. Equipped with the F-41
package it has boxed trailing arms and rear swaybar etc. It has
power front disc brakes. Fresh dual exhaust system with the correct
splitter tips exiting under the rear bumper. The gas tank and all
the lines were replaced too. Looking up at the #'s matching 455 HO
engine, it is spotless and painted Pontiac Blue. The Turbo 400
automatic transmission has it's 1970 tag riveted to the side and
appears to be recently serviced with a new mount and linkage too.
Nice looking 12 bolt rear end. The floors are solid and rust free
metal all neatly painted satin black.
SERVICE: We closely inspected this car and rebuilt the carb, fixed
the reverse lights, replaced the horns, replaced the blower,
serviced the air conditioning, replaced a seatbelt cover, gave it
an alignment, replaced the lock cylinders and rewired the power top
switch.
I think it's priced at a bargain! Only 241 made total, how many
exist? This Is a legit and extremely nice example of a convertible
GTO 455 HO!
