1970 Pontiac GTO convertible, 400ci/400 turbo auto., PHS documented,New Jersey car.  Cardinal Red, White int.& power top that goes up and down nicely,  power disc brakes, 3.55 limited slip rear, hood tach, Am radio,

I was told that this GTO is #s matching from the previous owner.  I bought it to drive it so I've never bothered with checking.  The block is cast #YS467758, #13 heads,  trans 70-PY-17498, rear 9799100.  If that helps anyone out there.

Older restoration done around 2000 new quarters and trunk floor professionally installed.  Very presentable Cardinal Red paint job.  The paint shines well with very minor dings here and there. They may be able to be wet sanded out I haven't tried. The nose shows some minor flex cracks that these enduro noses get and there are a few eraser sized rust bubbles on the hood.  All in all the car looks good only on close scrutiny would anyone notice the flaws.  Although its not necessary, a repaint of the hood and nose would improve its presentation.

The engine was redone to factory specs at the time of restoration.  I haven't got many details on the engine build other than  350 Hp YS specs.  I will tell you that it runs and sounds quite healthy.  The odometer reads 49K  and I would bet that when restored the clock was reset.   So I am guessing that the motor has 49K on it.   I have personally put 15K on it in the last 4 years.  Just the other day I took it on a 3 hour loop to Summit Racing and will say its a nice ride. 

The white interior is in very good condition. As is the white top.   All the gauges work as they should.  The suspension and steering are tight.  Brakes responsive.  The exhaust note not too loud to cruise in but loud enough to let yourself be heard.  All the lights work, even the trunk lamp! 

In the last year I have repaced the front wheel bearings, new exhaust, starter, and have purchased new stainless pinch weld molding(yet to be installed).

This is a great crusing drop top GTO.  I've taken many 2-3 hour drives in this car with no troubles at all.  This car gets driven regularly and without hesitation.  Starts and runs readily each time. Has one small oil leak that will be rectified at this springs oil change ( oil filter housing needs a new gasket).  The horn, radio, and clock do not work but other than that this car is ready to roll.   

I am not selling out of necessity.  Just dreaming of a resto-mod drop top 5 speed that I want to build.  Although this is a really nice car, its not "My" car.   I have no doubts the next owner will get many enjoyable hours in this one.  For me its on to the next one. 

This is no show car it is a very nice driver condition classic.  As such expect to find minor flaws here and there it is not perfect and the price reflects that.   

I encourage anyone interested to come and see it for yourself.  It surely wont disappoint.  I am 20 minutes from the Pittsburgh airport.  If you have any questions call Chad 724-312-2529.

Thanks, Chad
