Pontiac’s GTO was again revised for its 7th year in 1970 with revised front fascia with exposed headlights, new taillight design and enhanced fastback profile! Several new engines were available, and The Judge continued to offer extreme performance in Pontiac’s A-body! Overall GTO production crested 40, 000 and once again, they proved to be dominant both on the strip and at stop lights!
We are very excited to offer this 1970 Pontiac GTO 455 H.O. Hardtop! The car is finished in its factory correct, one year only color 58 – Granada Gold over 257 – Sandalwood bucket seat interior and powered by a numbers matching 455ci V8 (stamped 20R122828 with cast number 9799140), cast heads (64), dual plane cast iron intake (9799068), and Rochester Quadra-Jet 4-barrel carburetor (7020268)! It produces a factory rated 360 horsepower transferred through its original vin-stamped THM-400 automatic transmission to a 12-bolt Safe-T-Track posi-traction rear end (coded WT – 3.07). Options and features on this car include front and rear spoilers, bucket seats, console, Rally gauges with hood-mounted tach, all tinted soft-ray glass, electric trunk release, remote driver’s mirror, AM push-button radio with windshield antenna, electric clock (inoperable), tilt steering column with deluxe woodgrain wheel, auxiliary light group (under hood, glove box, trunk), rubber floor mats, power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, and added ‘The Judge’ fender accent decals! The car rides on period correct 14” Pontiac Rally II wheels wrapped in 225/70R14 BF Goodrich Radial T/A white letter tires!
Of the 40, 149 GTOs built for 1970, only 1, 986 455ci HO Automatic hardtops were produced. Aside from one repaint in its factory Grandad Gold exterior color, this Goat shows every indication that its 82, 527 miles could very well be original, despite us not being able to prove for certain. The paint, refinished chrome, new interior and freshly detailed engine compartment are all in show-worthy condition and the undercarriage will suggest regular use on only the nicest days, with new gas tank, shocks, springs, and most steering components, sway bar and polyurethane Dana Spicer u-joints bushings. While not the most powerful engine option in 1970, the 455ci was certainly the biggest in its inaugural year. The phrase “no replacement for displacement” really cannot be described in just words- only experienced – and this is a great example of the expression. This car moves down the road very well and certainly sounds the part, thanks to the custom dual 3″ exhaust with X-pipe and Flowmaster mufflers!
This GTO is even more attractive out in the sun and is ready for weekend backroad cruising, shows or the drag strip! PHS documentation is included! We would invite any interested parties to call with additional questions! Thanks for looking!
