This 1970 Pontiac GTO coupe was acquired by the seller in 2001, and an eight-year refurbishment completed in 2012 included repairing and refinishing the body in silver and mounting it on a replacement frame sourced from an A-body convertible. A replacement 455ci V8 was rebuilt and installed along with a Tremec five-speed manual transmission, and it is equipped with an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, Edelbrock Performer RPM cylinder heads, and MSD ignition components. Additional modifications include a Quick Fuel Technologies carburetor, electric exhaust cutouts, front disc brakes with Wilwood calipers, Global West control arms, QA1 dampers, and 17″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels. The interior is trimmed in black and features a center console, front bucket seats, and front lap belts, and the exterior is equipped with a Ram Air hood, a hood-mounted tachometer, a rear wing, and quad exhaust outlets.
Originally finished in Palladium Silver, the body was stripped, rust was repaired, and metallic silver paint was applied during the refurbishment completed in 2012. The seller notes that the rear and right side of the car were damaged in an accident under prior ownership, and the frame was replaced during the refurbishment with a boxed frame sourced from a contemporary A-body convertible model. Exterior details include an Endura front bumper, a Ram Air hood, a hood-mounted tachometer, a rear wing, and quad exhaust outlets.
According to the seller, Global West suspension components and sway bars were installed along with QA1 shocks. Polished 17″ American Racing Torq Thrust wheels are wrapped in 255/40 front and 275/40 rear Falken Azenis tires, and braking is handled by power-assisted drilled and slotted front discs with Wilwood calipers as well as rear drums.
The cabin houses front bucket seats and a rear bench upholstered in black vinyl along with a color-coordinated dash pad, center console, door panels, and carpets. Equipment includes a Hurst shifter, a push-button AM/FM radio, and front shoulder belts.
The three-spoke steering wheel wears a center cap with a Chief Pontiac logo and frames a 140-mph speedometer flanked by an analog clock and a combination gauge indicating engine temperature, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 86k miles, approximately 22k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The replacement 455ci V8 was sourced from a 1971 Catalina, according to the seller, and it was rebuilt in 2005 using an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold and aluminum cylinder heads. The top end was rebuilt using roller lifters and rocker arms in 2012, and the water pump was replaced and a Cold Case aluminum radiator installed in 2022. The distributor cap and rotor were replaced and the oil was changed in 2024. Additional equipment includes an MSD ignition control module, a Quick Fuel Technology carburetor, and coated headers feeding into a dual exhaust system with electric cutouts.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a Tremec TKO600 five-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. The flywheel was resurfaced and a dual-friction clutch was installed along with a replacement hydraulic throwout bearing in July 2023. The clutch master cylinder was replaced in December 2024.
