Bucket seating and this instrument cluster were standard equipmen on the '70 GTO's.
1970 was a proud year in the Pontiac family. Prior to 1970, GM's A body vehicles were required to have 400 cubic inches or less. For the first time, the GTO was offered powered by the torque rich 455 cubic inch engine. This powerplant in base 4bbl. carburetor form, was rated at 360 horsepower and 500 ft-lbs of torque.
This car is proudly displayed in FAST440s public showroom in Sunnyvale, Texas.
Insurance companies imposed surcharges on virtually all the muscle cars and their popularity was in decline as a result. GTO sales, for instance, dropped to 40,149, the fewest since the original '64. Of those, 32,737 were GTO hardtops, 3,615 were GTO convertibles, 3,629 were Judge hardtops and 168 were Judge ragtops.
