Description of 1970 Pontiac GTO |
For sale is a completely restored. PHS documented. number matching 1970 GTO. This car is 1 of 1900 original. Starlight Black car produced in 1970. It is also an original. Black Vinyl Top car with extremely rare. RED interior. making the color and top combination extremely rare. It has just received a two year. "Frame Off" restoration. The car was completely disassembled and painstakingly restored and reassembled. As of this writing. the car has never been shown. and only has shake-down miles since the restoration was completed. This particular GTO is #1059. and was built on the third day of production. in the Baltimore plant on Aug 17. 1969. As verified by the title and the previous owner. it has only 57k original miles. The original owner drove the car till it lost oil pressure. in 1974 and parked it. The second “physical owner”. was a friend of the original owner. He purchased the car when his friend filed for divorce. but he never titled the car in his name. When I purchased the car. it had been off the road. in dry storage for almost four decades! The car still retains the original drive train. that is completely rebuilt. including the original #9799914 block w/VIN. #12 heads. #7040263 carb. #068 intake. 1111176 distributor. #660 M20 trans w/VIN. frame. Harrison radiator. rad support. and its ORIGINAL BUILT SHEET! There are six verifiable VIN#s on this car. they are as follows: Drivers door tag. Dash VIN plate. (2) hidden Firewall VIN# around the fan & under the heater box. on the Block. and transmission. The frame VIN is only partially visible but it is there. Options include. 400 CID. WT code engine. with a 4 speed transmission. Power Steering. Power Disk Brakes. Soft Ray Glass. Vinyl Top. bucket Seats & Console and AM radio. During the restoration process I added. Rally gauges. in-dash tachometer. HO exhaust manifolds. 3:90 12 Bolt Posi. and 15" Rally II's wheels. I have the original 3:55 10 bolt rear and will either turn it over to the buyer or re-install it if the buyer prefers. The car still retains all of its exterior sheet metal. There is only one patch in the exterior. It is smaller than a silver dollar. and it is located in the lower LHS quarter. behind the tire. and it’s completely covered by the wheel opening trim. All of the exterior chrome & stainless is in excellent condition. and most of it is also original to the car. The floor and trunk are also original. with only two minor patches. one on the drives toe area and one in the trunk. typical of vinyl top cars. Neither patch can be detected from either inside or under the car. The interior has been completely restored with “Legendary” sear covers. door panels. carpet. arm rests and headliner. The kick panels. seat backs. headrests. console. deluxe steering wheel. and rear view mirror. are original RED items. still with the car. and in great condition. The fit and finish on this car is better than factory original. The panel gaps are show quality. The doors close like a safe. and match with the fenders & the quarters perfectly. The nose alone has well over 10 man days invested to assure the best possible fit & finish! The paint is all PPG products. starting with two coats epoxy sealer. four coats base. three coats clear / wet sand. and two more coats clear! There is almost two thousand dollars in PPG products on this car. I’m selling this car to fund two other projects (70’ GTO 4 speed conv. and a 57’ Chevy conv. ) The GTO convertible will be for sale in a month or so. the 57’ is a keeper. sorry! I have over 100 pictures of the car. starting when I found it in a barn through the restoration. and up till today. I started the sale with just a few pics. and will add more current pictures in a day or so. Shoot me an email if you want to see something specific. If you would like to see it in person I will make every effort to accommodate you. The reserve is set at a price below what it would cost to restore this car! That being said. my goal is to sell the car. not give it away. If you’re a serious buyer. feel free to ask any questions you may have. If you would like to speak to me in person. please email a contact number and I'll call you directly. You can also call or TEXT me at (732) 241-3389. Please note the car is for sale in two other locations. so if you have seen another GTO in this color combination it’s most likely the same car! The right cash offer will end the auction!A few people have asked about the 70' GTO convertible mentioned in the add. The GTO convertible is fully collected. and painted. The frame & suspension. engine and transmission are rebuilt. The interior is in process. the top is on order and the car is being assembled. The colors are Mint Turquoise over Sandalwood with a Sandalwood top. It is an original. pepper green car with an exterior color change. The interior is original Sandalwood. The car is 1 of 887 original "WT" code 400 4 speed cars. and a complete number matching car (ie carb / block / heads / distributor / trans / rear ect)! Original options: Console. buckets. rally II's. nbsp;gauges + tach. power disk brakes. and power top. with power steering added. I've added one picture to show the color. Thanks for looking! Happy Thanksgiving! Good Luck if you’re bidding! |
