While GM’s Chevrolet, Buick and Oldsmobile divisions were turning to massive displacement for their 1970 models, Pontiac initially kept the faith with its 400 CI powerplants, reasoning that their shorter stroke and higher RPM capabilities would lend more immediacy to their performance. In fact, a GTO equipped with the 400/370 HP Ram Air IV was the equal of any 440 Six Pack-powered Road Runner on the drag strip. The Ram Air IV was straight out of the Pontiac playbook. The block used 4-bolt main caps and the Ram Air II’s radical camshaft, the combination made even more effective with the use of 1.65:1 rocker arms in high-flow round-port cylinder heads. The Ram Air IV also used an aluminum intake manifold and free-flowing cast-iron exhaust headers, and it was fed by an intake system sealed to twin hood scoops operated by the driver with a switch under the dash. The GTO’s superior power and driveline were matched by special suspension and brakes, making them among the best-handling muscle cars of the era. The matching-numbers Ram Air IV engine powering this sharp 1970 GTO is backed by a Hurst T-handle-shifted 4-speed manual transmission and 3.90 Positraction third member. One of only 627 Ram Air IV 4-Speed Hardtops built in 1970, the car is the product of a comprehensive restoration retaining the original sheet metal under its Palladium Silver paint. The handsome black bucket-seat interior illustrates the luxury side of the GTO’s personality, incorporating a padded Formula steering wheel, a wood-grain-trimmed Rallye instrument cluster and engine-turned switch plate. Other features include power steering and brakes, Soft Ray-tinted glass, color-matching hood tach, painted 5-spoke steel Rally wheels and raised-white-letter BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires. Documentation includes the build sheet and PHS records.
