GTO looks and performance without the GTO price tagand#44; thats what this 1970 Pontiac LeMans GTO tribute is all about. Freshly restored and ready to rumbleand#44; it brings a 400 cubic inch V8and#44; factory A/Cand#44; and a few welcome upgrades that make it a fun cruiser that gets a lot of attention. 1970 was probably the high-water mark for muscle carsand#44; and none looked better than the GTOand#44; which explains why this car is sure to generate a lot of attention. The all-new front end gave the GTO a traditional Pontiac look that was unlike anything elseand#44; and it remains true today. The vivid blue paint on this tribute makes it a real eye-catcher and the details that emulate the GTO are all faithfully reproduced. In addition to the straight bodyworkand#44; which shows quite well even under the bright lights in our studioand#44; it sports a proper Ram Air hood and wing on the deck lidand#44; as well as the requisite GTO emblems in the proper locations. The paint shows welland#44; and while this isnt intended to fool expertsand#44; most of the guys at the local cruise night will nod appreciatively at this cars handsome good looks. Theres also a nice-fitting black vinyl top that doesnt show any issues underneath and with a lot of bright chrome and stainless trimand#44; the vivid electric blue paint really pops. Buckets and a console are familiar GTO fare and they make the illusion here far more convincing. The upholstery is in good shape with only minor signs of use and ageand#44; pretty much as youd expect for a car approaching its 45th birthday. A tilt steering column holds a Grant GT steering wheel thats a bit more muscular looking than the original thin-rimmed piece and it still frames a three-hole dash with factory instruments deep inside. Woodgraining on the dash and center console give the GTO an upscale feel insideand#44; which was totally Pontiacs idea when they designed itand#44; and the bright strip of trim that houses the AM/FM radio and A/C controls is a styling detail that dates back to the earliest days of the Goat. In backand#44; the seat looks virtually unused and the trunk is in good order with proper spatter-finish paint. The engine is based on a code YX 400 blockand#44; and with upgrades like a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and long-tube headersand#44; it cackles and snarls like a proper GTO should. The block is finished in corporate turquoise paintand#44; so it looks the partand#44; and with chrome valve covers and a matching open-element air cleanerand#44; it has the right attitude. Professionally rebuilt in 2010 to 360 horsepower specificationsand#44; its an extremely strong runner with a fantastic exhaust note thanks to a recent Flowmaster exhaust system with turn-downs ahead of the rear axle. The TH350 3-speed automatic transmission always seems to find the right gear and a 10-bolt rear end doesnt seem to mind the torque running through it. Its pretty original underneathand#44; but that only means you can easily spot signs of trouble and this car has nothing to hide. The suspension and brakes are largely stockand#44; but those big 17-inch Torque Thrust wheels and 245/45/17 Kumho performance radials give it a period look thats more in tune with todays style. This isnt a pedigree carand#44; but it is a really straight GTO tribute with a very stout motor. If having fun is your goaland#44; this car does it better than most. Call today! |
