Vehicle Detail
I am selling my true "242" VIN 1970 Pontiac GTO convertible. The GTO is a factory polar white car with red interior. Great color combination. The previous owner provided me with a PHS document that reflects the car originally came from the factory with air conditioning, power windows, 4-speed manual transmission, power steering, power brakes (disc-front), and Safe-T-Track rear end. The GTO no longer has the air conditioning or the 4-speed transmission installed. Following is information that the previous owner provided me when I purchased the vehicle: The GTO now has a NOM Pontiac 461 cubic inch stroker engine with a built Turbo 350 automatic transmission with shift kit and mild stall torque converter. Details on the engine include:400 block with stroker crankshaft making 461 cubic inchesMSD Atomic Electronic Fuel Injection systemEagle cast steel 4.25" stroke crankshaftForged I-beam connecting rodsMahle forged pistonsPontiac #64 heads (1970 455 HO heads)Camshaft with 224/230 duration at .050" with .470 lift on 110 degree LSAPertronix Flamethrower HEI distributor8mm plug wiresPro Comp intake manifoldHeaders with Flowmaster mufflersThe GTO has a semi-loper idle, sounds nasty and runs hard. The suspension has been upgraded with Hotchkiss performance sway bars. The car rides on 14" Pontiac Rally II wheels with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Posi 3:55 rear end. Aluminum radiator with dual electric fans. Some chrome dress-up pieces under the hood. The interior is decent with no rips in the seats. The power convertible top is in nice condition with no rips and has a glass back window. The carpet is newer and also in nice condition. Things I feel need to be done to the car include installing an ignition switch, door and trunk key / lock mechanisms. I have a period correct GM steering column that goes with the car. The GTO is not a show car but rather a driver with some cosmetic flaws typical of an old car that has been and continues to be driven and enjoyed. The GTO would be an excellent candidate for a full restoration at some point due to the rarity of the car, but can be enjoyed in its current condition as I have. The reserve is set at a reasonable amount based on what the car is. I intend to sell it outright and am not interested in any trades. I own the vehicle free and clear and have the Iowa issued title to the GTO in my name. The car can be inspected anytime before the auction ends. Winning the auction does not mean come check it out and then decide whether our not to buy it. Do any inspections you feel are necessary before bidding on the car. Have your finances in order along with permission to buy it from any significant others in your life who have an interest in how you conduct your finances. I can be available to assist with loading the car if you choose to have it transported provided I am given adequate notice. All transportation costs are the responsibility of the buyer. The car does not leave until paid for and all funds clear my bank. I will accept cash, wire transfer, or a cashier check from one of the major banks such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, US Bank. Please ask any questions you have about the car and I will do my best to get back with you in a timely manner. Due to the age of the car, it is being sold without any expressed or implied warranty. Thank you for looking and good luck to all who bid. On Oct-26-18 at 06:31:37 PDT, seller added the following information: I've had a couple questions on the mileage on the car. The odometer reads 47,776. However, I can't confirm that the car has or has not exceeded the mechanical limits of the odometer. It would be safe to assume the odometer has turned over during the life of the car.On Oct-29-18 at 18:27:35 PDT, seller added the following information: Added a picture of the Pontiac Historic Services document showing the factory options the GTO was equipped with when its rolled off the assembly line.
