1970 Pontiac GTO

The 1970 Pontiac GTO received a styling overhaul this year. A wraparound Endura bumper now encased 4 headlamps and a new grill. The body lines were altered to contain creases and new tail panel was designed. Also, introduced late in the year was the 455cid motor. Production numbers were steadily falling for the GTO.

However, there were a couple of well needed updates and new ideas used on the 1970 GTO. Under the body the suspension was redesigned to produce better handling. Also, a little used option was available to provide vacuum actuated exhaust "cut-outs" called the W73 option. Also, Pontiac offered a special Ram Air V motor with newly designed round head ports, aluminum intake, Holley carb, 4 main cap block, and a solid cam. You could not have the motor installed by the factory but could do so at any dealership.

Late year production Judge's now used the 455cid motor.

Coupe, hardtop, convertible, Judge (hardtop/convertible).Total production was 40,000 cars.
