Frame off restored, same owner 34 years!

1970 Pontiac GTO Description

#s match, body off frame restoration. Interesting history. Same owner since 1986, he had the restoration done in 1987 and has taken exceptional care since. It was driven and shown around the country at various Pontiac nationals, World of Wheels etc. In 2002 it was the feature cover car on Pontiac Enthusiast magazine. It was used in a few photo shoots. The fact it looks as good as it does today says a lot about the quality of restoration.
EXTERIOR: The body is completely straight. I felt all along the bottom of the doors, fenders, 1/4s and it's smooth, no bubbles. The paint is polished to a smooth glossy finish. It has the typical stress cracks that all convertibles get eventually near the top corners of the trunk lid. Jambs are detailed, has slick paint, bottom door lip is clean. The rubber bumper fits really well, only has a few hairline cracks in the paint. The grills are detailed, headlight bezels are rechromed, the high beams are still original T-3 headlights. Has a hood tachometer. The chrome remote mirror, door handles rear bumper are excellent. All the stainless trim is polished and straight. Glass is excellent and fits real nice, the windshield is new.

The correct upholstery is all in excellent condition. Headrests, seat backs are excellent. Carpets look new, sill plates look new. The dash instrument area is very nice shape, nothing's broken or beat up. Has factory in dash gauges and clock. Stock Am radio, has stereo in glovebox. Center console is real good.
