Time to go over your perfect muscle car checklist. 1970 Pontiac GTOand#44; check. Numbers-matchingand#44; check. Professional respray of the interesting original colorand#44; check. Factory A/Cand#44; check. Keeping a real-deal GTO looking right is no easy task. For startersand#44; the stylish and dent-resistant Endura front bumpers were exclusive to the GTOs and not shared with any other mid-size Pontiacs in 1970. All of this is set off with the factory-correct Bermuda Blue that looks quite nice thanks to a professional respray within the last few years. The GTO looks fast just sitting stilland#44; and the wing on the deck lid and twin scoops on the hood definitely help this image. As was typical of GTOsand#44; the badging is simple and almost subtleand#44; with correct lettering on the front grilleand#44; fendersand#44; and trunk. Not much chrome was left on the redesigned 70 Goatand#44; but the things that remained - like the rear bumper - are in excellent conditionand#44; just as youd expect. Plusand#44; 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. Insideand#44; the cool blue bucket seats are all about sporty business. The interesting color and texture on the chairs coordinate nicely with the door cardsand#44; center armrestand#44; roofand#44; dashboard and three-spoke wheel. But the interior is not a monochromatic experience. There is wood paneling on the center console and surrounding the gauge cluster. Plusand#44; 1970 was the first year when Pontiacs performance cars would feature a sporty section of machine-turned aluminum trim. Even the provisions for the factory air conditioning are still thereand#44; you just need to hook it back up if thats how you want your GTO. You get an AM/FM/CD stereo and a set of auxiliary gauges. Looking for the tachometer? Its outsideand#44; mounted on the hood. It was a head-up display option for racingand#44; and quite franklyand#44; also just another way for the designers back then to show how they were always thinking about cool showpieces. One look at the originaland#44; numbers-matching 400 cubic inch V8and#44; and you realize this GTO is all about honesty. It wears the correct Pontiac Turquoise paint with prideand#44; and it sports a chrome air cleaner lid 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 boxand#44; and they will certainly hear all of it thanks to an upgrade to headers and a Flowmaster dual exhaust. Of courseand#44; it all 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 thats believed to be as original as the motor. Plusand#44; handling is done right with disc brakes up front and BF Goodrich rubber at all four corners. This is a real-deal GTO thats turnkey ready to go have some fun. With the interest they have gathered from the auctions lately we dont expect this one to last. Call today!! |
