It’s hard to believe it’s been 60 years since Pontiac introduced the GTO, launching what would become the legendary muscle car era. By fitting a full-size 389ci V8 into an intermediate body, Pontiac created an affordable, high-performance car that young buyers craved. Today, the GTO remains a must-have for serious collectors, recognized as the car that started it all.
This stunning 1970 GTO, finished in Verdoro Green (47), is a prime example—heavily optioned and recently acquired from a high-end, multi-million dollar collection. Under the scooped hood lies the numbers-matching (0R130612) 455ci V8, delivering raw Pontiac power.
Loaded with features, this GTO boasts power steering (N41), power front disc brakes (JL2), air conditioning (C60), a TH400 automatic transmission (M40), a 3.07 rear axle with Safe-T-Track (G80, XT), a tilt steering column with a Formula wheel (N33, NK3), cruise control (K30), a Rally Gauge Cluster with tachometer (U30), a center console (D55), a reclining passenger seat (A70), and heavy-duty suspension with upgraded stabilizer bars (Y96). Additional highlights include hood and trunk lamps (U26, U25), a Pypes stainless steel dual exhaust with an X-pipe, and 235/60R14 radial tires mounted on correct Rally II wheels (N98).
This GTO comes with outstanding documentation, including the original tank sticker, Protect-O-Plate, shipping invoice, and a collection of receipts. It runs and drives exactly as a muscle car should—ready to light up the rear tires with just a twitch of the throttle!
