@sheps76 – How long have you owned the car? Where did you get it from? Thanks ...
I am the third owner and have had the car just over two years. I bought it from a classic car dealer in Michigan who had just acquired it. The second owner had it for 25years.

@rkneen – Never saw a GTO with a column shift. Ever. Is this a "tribute" car? Even the window sticker says "floor shifter," ...
It's a legit 242 GTO, not a tribute. The car was ordered from the factory as an automatic. It would have come with a standard floor shift but the original buyer apparently didn't want that and upgraded for an additional charge. The center console would have been an additional charge. I know it's unusual but that's the way it was originally built. Thanks for looking.

I must be getting too darn old - memory trouble. Sorry about asking for more engine bay, trunk and undercarriage pics - you already covered same & I have the printed copies taped on my drafting board. Sorry!
She's a beauty - I had two (2) 1964 Pontiac GTO Convertibles in 1967 and 2000, & your 1970 brings back great memories. Thanks for the walk around, but would like to have multi views of engine compartment, trunk and undercarriage. Also, if possible - could we have a cold start & rum video including a walk to the rear to listen to the exhaust & rumble., - and would love to see a drive video. Thank you for your consideration to my requests.
