Details
The product of a frame-off restoration, this 1970 Pontiac GTO hardtop is finished in its original color combination of Cardinal Red paint over Saddle upholstery. It is powered by the matching-numbers 400ci Pontiac V8 engine, factory-rated at 350hp and backed by a heavy-duty 3-speed manual transmission stirred by a Hurst T-Handle shifter. Bucket seats, a modern vintage-appearing radio and hood-mounted tachometer are highlights of this car. Documents supplied by Pontiac Historic Services (PHS) confirm the factory data, features and options for this GTO. The 1970 Pontiac GTO, dubbed 'The Humbler' in Pontiac's ad copy, successfully continued the popular GM A-Body-derived long hood, short-deck body design for a third highly successful year. It also retained the innovative flexible body-color Endura nose treatment, which was now attractively restyled with twin grille elements and four neatly recessed headlamps. Inside, the standard bucket seats gained a new breathable weave upholstery pattern, and both the console and dash panel were covered with wood-grain applique, befitting the GTO's premium road-car stature within the Pontiac model line. The GTO's renowned handling and roadholding characteristics were upgraded with a new rear anti-sway bar and computer-selected coil springs. Speed-sensitive power steering varied the degree of power assist to ease parking effort, while maintaining good road feel at speed, further enhancing the GTO's prowess. In all, Pontiac built 40,150 GTOs for 1970, with 27,496 powered by the 350hp 400ci mill. Of these, 9,348 were equipped with manual transmissions, including this presented example, equipped with GM's heavy-duty 3-speed manual transmission. In addition to offering a lower cost, selection of the standard 3-speed manual transmission was also rewarded with lower premiums by insurance companies during the early 1970s.
