Description:1970 Pontiac GTO Hardtop In the early 1960s, many groups had hit songs about cars. Ever the marketer, Jim Wangers wanted a song about the GTO and started pitching the idea to record labels. John Wilkin, an employee at Buckhorn Music in Nashville, loved the idea and wrote a song. After a few suggestions from Wangers, Wilkin formed the group Ronny and the Daytonas with some studio musicians and released the single, G.T.O., in spring 1964. By September, it was No. 4 on the charts, and more than 1 million copies were sold. Little GTO really lookin\' fine, 3 Deuces and a 4 speed and a 389..Listen to her crankin\' up now listen to her whine-yie-yine.. C\'mon and turn it on, wind it up blow out GTO..Ronnie and the Daytonas. For consignment, a real 242 VIN GTO with a 400ci, McLeod SuperStreet Pro clutch kit, M23z Autogear transmission, Cragar SS Chrome mags and of course bathed in arrest me Cardinal Red. Let\'s call it a beak with a big speak! Exterior For 1970 GM tweaked the GTO\'s design with a number of detail changes and subtle refinements. At the front of the car, Pontiac\'s installed smaller twin grilles with quad headlamps at the edges of the iconic Endura bumper. Below that bumper, the car\'s front valance features revised and more aggressive square parking lights; and above that bumper, a sculpted hood with Pontiac\'s legendary \'twin nostril\' Ram Air air intakes and just aft of this a hood mounted tachometer. Behind the tach, the windshield glass is bordered by an attractive layer of bright stainless trim and a Cardinal Red driver\'s side mirror. Below that mirror and bathed in a nice respray of Cardinal Red that shows with inclusions and some underlying cracking in the Endura nose. Aggressive fenders and body lines are highlighted by dent-free stainless wheel well trim, straight stainless rocker moldings and traditional chrome door handles. The gaps are well minded throughout the body and on the back fenders, \'68-era arrowhead marker lights have been exchanged for wrap-around tail lights within the confines of a chrome bumper that hangs proudly with new for 1970 tail lights just above quad exhaust tips. Never overlooked are the GTO decal callouts in black knockout type font on the front fenders and the trunk lid, so you don\'t forget who you\'re about to mess with. 15-inch Cragar polished SS wheels are on all 4 corners and give the right vibe. Interior Take a look inside this A-Body\'s cockpit and you\'ll find a snazzy correct black vinyl covered interior. Front and center a straight and crack-free dash wears a wood appliqué around the deep inset original gauges with a chromed panel at the bottom hosting a trio of extra gauges. On the floor, a Hurst shifter in the original center console sits between the two bucket front seats. The seating, both front buckets and rear bench show very nicely with the driver\'s seat being the only area presenting with little wear, albeit minimal. At the sides of those seats, stainless-trimmed door panels have black tuck and roll inserts housing original hardware and armrests. Below those panels, very clean black carpet frames chrome-trimmed foot pedals. In front of the driver is a 3 spoke padded rimmed steering wheel with its Pontiac arrowhead in the center. Behind the passengers, the trunk is finished with correct spatter paint and has a correct liner mat. Also seen and heard is a Retro classic AM/FM radio with Crutchfield speakers. Drivetrain A non original 1970 400ci V8 silver painted block is topped with an Edelbrock intake and a Holley 4-barrel carburetor and all rests between the fenders. On back, installed just this year is an Autogear 4-speed manual transmission with a McLeod Super Street Pro clutch kit and a Quicktime blow- proof bell housing. All this power goes to the 12 bolt rear axle with a 3.73 posi ratio. Hedman headers and a motorized infinite opening setting controller switch in the console and QTP cutouts will make heads turn!
