Time to go over your perfect muscle car checklist. A real-deal 1970 Pontiac GTO, check. Numbers-matching V8, check. Original color combo, check. Nicely documented, check. The appeal of this GTO is as clear as black and white... literally. The factory-correct Polar White looks quite nice thanks to a recent professional respray. And the contrasting black vinyl roof makes this timelessly attractive. The GTO looks fast just sitting still, and the color-matched Endura front end and twin scoops on... the hood definitely help this image. As was typical of GTOs, the badging is simple and almost subtle, with correct lettering on the front grille, fenders, and trunk. Not much chrome was left on the redesigned '70 Goat, so they made sure to make the few pieces true standouts. That's why the form-fitting rear bumper is freshly re-dipped. Plus, the Rally II wheels are a hallmark of these muscle cars because they have a stylistic flair with the PMD (Pontiac Motor Division) center cap that gives them a hint of industrial seductiveness. Inside is the factory-correct black interior, and we always love it when the exterior accents and the interior coordinate into one uniform package. And this GTO was built this way, so you know it was something special. High-back bucket seats, a three-spoke steering wheel, and wood on the center console and upper dash make this a nice place to spend some time. Plus, enthusiasts know this was the first year Pontiac's performance cars would feature a sporty section of machine-turned aluminum trim. It's a fantastically original presentation, right down to the AM/FM stereo that's still cranking out tunes. And this one still carries its provisions for factory air conditioning. One look at the original, numbers-matching 400 cubic inch V8, and you realize this GTO is all about honesty. It wears the correct Pontiac Turquoise paint with pride, and it sports a chrome air cleaner and valve covers (after all. Pontiac knew its customers would be showing off their engine bay.) Pontiac rated this big V8 at 350 hp right out of the box, and they will certainly hear all of it thanks to the proper dual exhaust that ends in the correct bright quad tips under the rear bumper. This one moves down the road nicely thanks to the TH400 three-speed automatic that's stout enough to handle all the power, while also smooth for cruising. Plus, handling is done right with power steering, power brakes, and BF Goodrich rubber at all four corners. This is a distinctive GTO, and you get to show its full history thanks to the factory buildsheet, warranty card, and bill of sale that all come with the sale. This is power, beauty, and timeless appeal in one great coupe, so don't let it slip away. Call today!!!
