You are bidding on an extremely nice, ighly detailed 1970 Pontiac GTO. I am listing this car for some close personal friends who have owned this car since July 2005. At the time of purchase this was a freshly restored GTO with rebuilt engine, ebuilt transmission, resh show quality paint job, nd a completely new interior. Since that time my friends have invested over $13,000 to take this GTO to the next level. I have over 100 documented invoices for this car in my possession with the majority of them from Ames Performance, he Paddock, erformance Years, nd Year One... all of these are the highest quality Pontiac parts suppliers.
The Body:This GTO is a documented California delivery with a rust free body. The Atoll Blue paint was finished in Dupont Chromabase B9808K Alt 1 and Dupont Premier Clear in the summer of 2005. The body lines are excellent and the fit and finish is superb. The chrome and bright trim is excellent and both the exterior mirror and rear bumper were replated. The only flaw in the exterior is some minor stress cracks in the front rubber bumper right at the hood line. I have detail photos of this cracking but did not include them. I did not want to give up one of my 24 images for such a small issue. Contact me for additional images.
The Engine:The 400 Cubic Inch Pontiac V8 is original and was rebuilt in 2005 with about 90,000 miles on the engine. A Missouri Performance Engine Shop did the rebuild to Ram Air 3 Specs with Ram Air 3 Camshaft. Other performance upgrades include Pro Rebuilt Carburetor ($399) and Ram Air factory headers and ultimate exhaust kit ($740.00) The engine starts right up on the automatic choke with an awesome rumble. The big V8 performs flawlessly, arries 60-80 pounds of oil pressure with no smoke and no leaks. Take a look at the engine bay images... all correct hoses, ose clamps, ittings, nd even factory decals are correct. The air conditioning system is complete and works perfectly... my meticulous friends even restored the original California Evap Emission System... AMAZING!
The Interior:The matching blue interior of this GTO is nearly flawless. The dash and dash pad are perfect! All the lights and switches work perfectly including the A/C and all of the power windows. All the gauges work perfectly except the odometer is stuck. The center console is excellent, he headliner is superb, he front buckets and rear bench have no noticeable wear and the blue carpeting is nice as well. The front passenger floor mat could use a cleaning. The sport steering wheel and horn button are excellent. The interior has two non stock upgrades... they are an under dash Air Fuel Ratio Gauge ($200) these gauges are an excellent tool when tuning a vintage muscle car, nd the stock AM radio was upgraded to stereo with I-pod compatibility by S&M Electro Tech ($430)... this upgrade is invisible and the I-pod connector cable is accessed through the ash tray... very nicely done.
The Transmission:The automatic transmission received a complete rebuild in July of 2006. The transmission shifts crisply and handles all the torque of the big V8 with no leaks or evidence of slippage.
The Trunk:The trunk is in excellent stock condition with no evidence of corrosion or damage. Stock spare tire, ack, nd hold down hardware are present as well as jacking instruction decals. Trunk seal is in great condition.
The Chassis:Take a look at the photos... a rust and damage free frame, ew fuel tank, ew free flow exhaust, ew shocks, prings, way bars, nd brakes, our new PMD wheels and 4 very nice BF Goodrich TA Radials. The car drives and handles like a new car.
The Flaws:The only two flaws in this car were mentioned earlier, inor stress cracking in the paint only on the front rubber bumper at the hood and the odometer is stuck.
The Conclusion:This is a show quality, umbers matching, ighly documented 1970 Pontiac GTO which was originally delivered to West Oaks Pontiac in Thousand Oaks, A. It could use a good detailing and a fresh tank of gas. This vintage GTO is nice enough that I would not hesitate to enter it in any National Car Show, t is also road worthy and ready to enjoy as is.I have many more images that I will gladly share with any serious buyer. I will also try to answer any questions you may have. I take my 100% customer satisfaction rating very seriously and I will help any way I can. Contact me: craigl@leinickegroup.com
