Vehicle Detail
1970 GTO Convertible, Automatic, Air Conditioning, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Front Discs. Original numbers matching front to back. Build sheet still under seat. PHS Documentation. Motor and tranny are out of car but in my garage. The car was originally Baja gold with black top and interior. Earl Schieb paint job was put on it in the early 80's. Still shines but is crazed. Judge wing and hood tach most likely added at the same time. Been in storage since 86. Frame is super solid. No issues. Body is O.K. but shows issues behind passenger rear quarter and driver side floor. Trunk and fenders are solid and clean. Passenger side front fender has a metal patch on the belt line. Looks like a dent repair maybe. Interior is all there. Rip in the drivers side seat, dash has a crack above the glove box, door panels are a bit wavy. Convertible top has a tear in the passenger side in the typical spot. Speakers were cut into the original kicks but I have correct replacement black kicks for it. Original exhaust is gone but I do have a 2.5 that I will include. Will need new shoes, and I would replace any rubber that fluid touches. I have not been into this car too deep. If your looking, you know how these things go once you take them apart. But this one could back on the road pretty easily. Located in Northeast Pennsylvania.On Jun-23-14 at 09:55:48 PDT, seller added the following information: To answer a few questions: To the best of my knowledge, it is the original 3:23 12 bolt rear. The heads are 13's Also of note: This car was taken off the road in 86 to have the transmission rebuilt. The tranny work was done, but the car was not put back on the road. For all purposes the tranny is fresh.On Jun-23-14 at 16:20:23 PDT, seller added the following information: More questions = more answers: The block code on the motor is YS According to Ultimate GTO, there were 3615 70 GTO Convertibles made. I do not know the breakdown of Auto vs. Stick cars.On Jun-23-14 at 18:48:25 PDT, seller added the following information: I am available to show the car to prospective bidders who wish to travel to see it. Why the motor is out of the car: The previous owner drove this car into his garage in 1986 and pulled the tranny to have it redone. The tranny was redone and put back up into the car. For reasons unknown to me, he never hooked up the drive shaft and finished the install. I bought the car in 06 or 07 and from sitting 20 years the motor was stuck. I have put zero effort into unsticking it, and cannot comment with any certainty on the internals. I had another motor that was drop in ready, so my plan was to put that in so I could drive the car while the original motor was getting redone. I pulled that original motor and tranny and they have been in my garage since then, and never away from the car. Why am I selling it: The timing is not right for me right now. I also have an original 69 Convertible that is done, so when the urge hits, I can still take that out and run through the gears. Are you a dealer: No . . . just a hobby guy who likes GTO's
