1970 Pontiac GranTurismoOmolgato "GTO" 4-speed Convertible      This is a true 242  4-SPEED GTO Convertible!!!!! It doesn't get much better than this!!!!! 1970 was the pinnacle of the muscle car era! This has got to be one of the most beautiful color combinations on a muscle car ever! This is your chance to purchase one of the most highly desirable and sought after muscle cars on the planet! This GTO truly is the essence of the Widetrack Pontiac experience!! It originally was bought new according to the dealer invoice from Alabama. Apparently it had been sitting in the AutoWorks Classic Car Museum from 1995 until I made the purchase in Hollywood, Florida in 2010. The title is clean and clear in the previous owners name from Tennessee. I was told that the mileage is correct at a mere 51,000 original miles. This classic old goat has always spent its life down south, and was obviously well taken care of. The original paint was just a little faded, so all the panels were removed, and meticulously painted off the car before being reinstalled. This is an original Code 75 Cardinal Red GTO with a factory 4-speed, and matching red interior verified by to the Pontiac Historical Society. It was painted with 3 coats of basecoat followed by 3 coats of one of the most expensive clear coats available to bring out the beautiful luster as seen in the pictures. The paint work alone on this car cost over $7500. All the body panels are original to the car, as well as the original floors, trunk, and frame which are all in very nice solid condition. There is one very minor patch on the passenger floor about 4"x7" in size, and that repair was done correctly to last. This paint work is virtually show quality, and the body is laser straight. A fresh brand new white convertible top was recently installed with a new glass back window, all new padding, and a brand new well liner. The interior has brand new exact match factory seat covers, all new side panels, brand new carpeting, and new door sills. I have to say that it is so nice to step into a 43 year old car where mostly everything in sight is brand spanking new! All the  seat belts are  in place and fully functional. All of the rubber gaskets were replaced at the time of paint including the door gaskets, window seals, and trunk gasket. The doors open and close like when this car was brand new, and they have dual sport mirrors with the drivers side being remote controlled. The speedometer, odometer, and in-dash tachometer all work as they should. There are still a full set of four T-3 headlights and bright lights in the very nice original endure front nose. The correct 1970 tail light lenses are brand new, so they really light up nicely. The engine compartment was detailed to look like this car came straight from the factory. The original dual snorkel air cleaner has a new chrome lid to really brighten up this Big Block! The dual exhaust is in good condition with new dual chrome exhaust tips. This engine is powered by an AC Delco battery with new terminal ends. I tried to replace all of the original factory decals that appeared when this car rolled from the factory to the showroom for delivery back in 1970. According to the previous owner there is a distinct possibility this car has all of its original components from top to bottom other than the items I've replaced. That knowledge is considered third party information. Nevertheless, I'm sure the new owner will be very happy to show or drive this car anywhere with pride. All of the chrome is in good drivers quality condition to excellent condition.  This original red on red GTO is perfect for the guy or girl who had one in high school and would like to revisit the past, or for someone who simply wants to drive around to enjoy steering their investment while their money grows. It's a wonderful car to take to your local drive-in movie theater or cruise night, It's also a great car to take to your high school re-union to remind your classmates how cool you really are. New spark plugs, a new oil filter, and a fresh oil change were done to prepare this car for sale. The alternator was replaced, and the alternator and power steering belts were also replaced. This super rare goat has factory air conditioning including all the components visible to make it work. The compressor spins freely, although I never put an A/C belt on, and I'm sure it is still on the R-12 system. Making the air conditioning work will be left up to the winning bidder if they so desire. It is just nice to have that option available. The original options include power steering, power brakes, in dash tachometer, power convertible top, bucket seats, and  the factory 4-speed with the console. This classic GTO is steered by the deluxe sport wheel. It rides on a set of four Firestone raised white lettered P225 70R/14" steel belted radial tires. They are mounted on a set of four detailed original 14" inch Pontiac Rallye wheels  with all four original black PMD center caps, and all new correct Pontiac chrome lug nuts with the black insert. The original AM radio is long gone. Currently there is an AM/FM Cassette player in that spot, but is not hooked up, so the sound system will be left to the choice of the winning bidder. There were no speaker holes cut anywhere in this new interior. I know that is very important to Pontiac enthusiasts. The very nice original trunk floor was coated with factory AC Delco black and aqua spatter spray, and then clear coated to seal the spatter spray. A new trunk floor mat was added under the nicely restored jack and crow bar. A full size Rallye wheel with a matching Firestone raised white lettered spare tire comes inside the trunk just in case there is a mishap on the road. With a quick tire change you can be back on your way looking complete in minutes. Everywhere this goat is driven people are attracted to it like a magnet. You have to be prepared to be the spectacle of the neighborhood, because everyone will know who's coming. These cars are becoming harder and harder to come across. The southern climate always kept these cars in much better condition than your average 43 year old car. A great deal of time, money, and effort went into making the car that is listed in this description. What you see is exactly what you get. Plain and simple!! Take advantage of this chance to finally own your dream car. This is an investment that has shown to consistently appreciate in value with each quarter. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide has the current values that anyone can check on-line for a genuine 242 code 1970 Pontiac GTO 4-speed convertible with the options listed on this car priced at $96,960 in the highest condition, $61,440 in average condition, and $20,320 in the lowest condition. I believe that anyone who sees this extremely rare GTO would have to agree that this car is in much better than average condition. This is a prime opportunity to own a piece of muscle car history at a reasonable price. I tried to describe all of the pertinent information, so any potential bidder can make the most informed decision possible before placing their bid.
