Details

This 1970 Pontiac GTO is powered by a 455 HO engine backed by the original, matching-numbers 3-speed Turbo-Hydramatic transmission and a 12-bolt rear end. The engine was rebuilt by Basko Engine Service - well known for its racing engines - with recent enhancements that include a high-performance aluminum radiator and water pump. This GTO is painted in the original Pepper Green paint with a green bucket-seat interior. Additional features include a tilt steering wheel, console shifter, dual mirrors, power steering and power brakes, air conditioning and power locks. Stored in an air-conditioned garage since restoration, this GTO 455 HO runs 'like new' and comes with the original radiator, original rebuild water pump and chrome left mirror. In 1970, Pontiac manufactured 40,149 GTOs, and this is one of the 1,986 fitted with the 455 HO Engine Package produced for the model year. The 455 HO engine option had a host of upgrades, including a 12-bolt rear end, heavy-duty suspension, enhanced sway bars, high-flow exhaust and a high-performance Quadrajet carburetor. This example was manufactured in September 1969 and originally delivered to Louis Frahm Pontiac in Downey, CA. It lived in Los Angeles until 1988, where it was then put in storage in Tucson, AZ. In 2003, it was disassembled and rebuilt. The seller states the original AM/FM radio works, although the power transistor needs repair to achieve better volume.
