"1970 Pontiac GTO Hardtop�
From the 1970 magazine ad: ""The Humbler is here. �Pontiac GTO.� If the sight of it doesn't turn you on, the sound of it will.� Listen, its 400 cube V8 speaking out through a new, low restriction performance exhaust you can order.� Curve, straighten out.� The Humbler will take you in style.� The Humbler.� This is the way it's going to be, baby."". � You must appreciate the language of the times.� GTO abandoned the tiger in the tank campaign in 1967 when Pontiac switched to The Great One campaign.� Then, The Humbler was born not long after.��
For consignment, a two owner 1970 GTO wherein the original owner bought it back after a brief ownership from a friend. �The original purchase agreement is included with the car and shows our consignor's name.� Between 1983 and 1986, a friend owned it, then sold it back.� What a story! �The drivetrain is no longer original but massaged components on a date correct engine have been put in its place.� It retains its original color and black vinyl top and has some other styling cues that make it stand out just a bit.�
Exterior
Our car comes in Granada Gold and lacks badging on the side and rear, but a big wing, hood tach, and black-rimmed nostrils hint at its identity.� The infamous Endura nose fronts the car and GTO is spelled out in the split grille.� Chrome headlight bezels match the metal rim of the grille and the t design over the marker lights.� The paint, chrome, and vinyl top are in great condition and that rear wing painted black and dual twin exhaust tips are menacing reminders that this might just be a quick car. �15-inch Chevrolet rally wheels carry staggered size tires front and rear and look great.�
Interior
A Hurst equipped emblem has been added above the GTO emblem on the standard door panels constructed of black vinyl in varying patterns and textures. �The black vinyl seats with knitted vinyl inserts are in great shape, as is the rear bench.� Above the bench are two large pioneer speakers, mounted old school style up on the shelf.� The black GTO steering wheel is tri-spoke with a horn button on each one, a pretty nifty design feature.� A wood applique surrounds the gauges on the dash, three deep and simple gauges displaying the pertinent information.� A dash long strip of machined metal applique houses switches, knobs and the AM/FM radio.� The center console houses an AutoMeter tachometer, the notched gate of the shifter which is indeed a Hurst model, and an armrest over a storage bin.� The black loop style carpet is in good shape and the perforated headliner is in decent shape with some age beginning to show.� The trunk has a simple black carpet mat and a spare tire.�
Drivetrain
An era correct 400ci V8 is in the bay and has been bored .030 over, has Icon forged pistons, and Howards Cam and Lifters.� Edlebrock handles the fuel delivery with a 4-barrel carburetor and intake manifold.� The engine is mated with a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission leading back to a 10-bolt rear and 3.55 gears.� Pontiac branded powder coated valve covers sit below a K&N style air filter element. The engine bay is tidy and has lots of extra room, a long way from modern engine compartments.� A brake booster is evidence that the disc brakes up front and the drums out back are power assisted.�
Undercarriage
Clean and dry on the underside with only small, random areas of surface rust.� The dual exhaust stretches the length of the car before meeting two Cherrybomb mufflers just before the rear axle.� Up and over the axle the pipes go where they terminate at twin splitters creating four exit routes for the spent gas.� We note the oil pan has been thumped at some point, �but the gasket and drain plug are not compromised, it's purely cosmetic at this point.� Coil springs are found up front and with the 4-link in the rear.�
Drive-Ability
There is nothing like an old school muscle car and it's an honor to drive a car bought originally by the current owner and cared for all these years.� Off we went around our loop at a mild pace, enjoying the sound of the engine and exhaust.� The suspension functioned ideally for the straight aways, and the brakes were more than adequate.� A few notations from the ride: the hood mounted tach and the console tach are not working, the radio did not belt out any tunes, and finally, the brake lights do not illuminate.��
The original purchase agreement and the build sheet accompany the car and those are icing on the cake for this good looking, well running 1970 GTO.� This is one of those cars that benefits from an enthusiastic and supportive community that is active around the country, maybe even the world!� If you have dreamed about owning a GTO, this one is worth a peek.�
