1970 GTO Convertible, 455 HO
VIN# 242670P12XXXX
Description: This is an extremely rare car. In 1970 GM made 241, 455 convertibles with automatic transmission. Considering this ultra-rare color combination combined with the 455 and automatic on the column, this is probably the only one of its kind ever made.
This car was produced in Pontiac, Michigan in early October of 1969. It was delivered to A.C. Morris Garage Dealership in Pleasantville, West Virginia on October 14, 1969.
The car came from the factory with the following options;
455 HO which produced 510 lbs of torque and was rated at 360 H.P. but actually produced far more/ posi traction/ push button radio/ remote controlled side mirror/ custom sport steering wheel/ Rally gauge cluster/ in dash tach/ power disc brakes/ front and rear floor mats/ Ram Air (which is extremely rare and there were only believed to be three such convertibles with the 455)/ door edge guards/ automatic transmission w/o console/ 14" white walled tires/ 14" Rally II wheels/ drivers side vanity visor mirror/ stereo 8 track tape deck/ tinted glass and windshield/ special heavy duty springs, ride and handling package/ special order high output air cleaner with 4 bbl carburetor.

Current Condition; Number one conditionCondition:
This car’s ownership originated in West Virginia and accumulated 95,000 original miles before restoration. The car was parked in 1976 and has not been registered since. It has had two owners and the new owner possesses the original build sheet, which was found under the seat, and a copy of the original title. The car was found in 100% original condition, including paint and interior. It has since undergone an extensive and complete frame-off rotisserie restoration with no bolt left unturned. The restoration appears to be of a concours, National Show quality level. Over $100,000 was invested in the restoration of this car. The car is fully documented, complete with PHS (Pontiac Historical Services) documentation and original build sheet. This is a numbers matching car and is currently in number one condition.
The restoration process of this car has been well documented. The restoration is of excellent quality and the car looks outstanding.
Value Discussion:The 1970 H.O 455 convertible is a rare car indeed. GM initially developed the 455 because of its ability to run multiple power options within the car, yet still maintain a consistent level of performance while driving simultaneously. The 455 engine is known for its raw power yet smooth acceleration and superb dependability. The 455 H.O. option # 344, was an approximate $50 upgrade in the 1970 model, but is worth dividends. The unique and beautiful color combination of this particular car combined with the extremely rare and desirable Ram Air option catapults this car into an elite division of collectible ness.
Furthermore, considering the skyrocketing cost of restoration materials and labor, with this car being restored to such high standard, it considerably and further raises its value.
Finally, the all important fact that this car is all original and has so much of its documentation and authenticity also enhances its value and desirability. This car is a very rare, valuable and important example of American Muscle Car history.
