The Cardinal Red paint shows off every curve of the body, so you’re guaranteed to break necks as you cruise past. Upgraded Rally II wheels look amazing. The previous owner added the Judge rear wing, giving this car some serious attitude. Even more impressive, the paint, brightwork, badges, and trim is all in immaculate condition, elevating this vehicle to showroom quality.

This drop top sure cruises smooth, but it has a serious bite. The numbers-matching 455ci V8 hits like a ton of bricks, thanks to a peak 500 lb.-ft. of torque straight off the factory line. An automatic transmission and Safe-T Track differential help make this car easier to drive.

 

A shocking number of factory options are loaded into the Pontiac GTO convertible, so it’s even more of a blast to drive. Variable power steering and power front disc brakes help you keep this beast in check, making all that power an asset instead of a liability. There’s air conditioning, ensuring the only thing that will be burning up is your back tires. The tilt steering wheel allows you to find the perfect position for optimal control. Other options include a push-button radio, tape player, electric clock, and décor group.

 

Back in 1964 Pontiac dropped its powerful 389ci V8 engine in the lightweight Tempest, creating the GTO and kicking off the American muscle car wars. This classic nameplate ran strong until 1974. What makes the 197 model year special is it marked when GM finally took the kid gloves off and allowed Pontiac to push beyond the 400ci limit for engines, creating an era in American muscle that’s legendary. Not only that, only 241 convertible Pontiac GTOs were made in 1970, making this ride exceptional. Now you have the chance to own this important piece of American automotive history, thanks to Street Dreams.
