Here's Lance Armstrong's 1970 GTO sitting in the Overhaulin garage were it will be re-created in only 7 days. During the Overhaulin show "the owner gets tricked and the car gets tricked out". They usually trick the owner (mostly regular non-celeberty people) into believing that their car was stolen with the help of a family member or friend. The car gets restyled and updated by the large Overhaulin team.CLICK->

They found lots of rust and bondo under the paint of Lance Armstrong's 1970 GTO. They do a frame-off on it. Lincoln Electric supplied the welding equipment used to fabricate parts for Lance Armstrong's GTO at the Colvin Automotive shop in Austin, Texas. They used Lincoln's Precision TIG™ 185 welding machine, Pro Cut® 25 plasma cutter, and SP-135 compact GMAW machine.CLICK-> 
Lance Armstrong's 1970 GTO convertible is all done. The color is "Oil Slick" black. Instead of the "GTO" emblem in the grille, they put on a "Sprint 6" emblem. Why? Because to date he has won the big Tour De France bike race 6 times.CLICK-> 
Side view of Lance Armstrong's 1970 GTO convertible. Chip Foose always tries to design custom one-off wheels for the cars on Overhaulin. They painted the rear bumper black. And yes, they did add a bike rack to the rear somehow. The car has 235/35ZR19 g-Force T/A tires in the front and 265/30ZR20 g-Force T/A tires in the rear.CLICK-> 
They put a custom black leather interior into Lance Armstrong's 1970 GTO. And of course a huge stereo system with speakers and amps in the trunk.CLICK-> 
The well-known Pontiac engine builders Butler Performance supplied the 400hp 400ci Pontiac engine. The Overhaulin Team custom painted the valve covers with the words "Armstrong" aross the center and "Livestrong" in the yellow stripe - referring to his support of cancer research.CLICK-> 
After seven days of tricking Lance into believing his GTO was stolen, he gets his first look at his Overhauled 1970 GTO. That's Sheryl Crow to the right and co-host Courtney Hansen.CLICK->

Blue 1970 GTO hardtop reflected in the mirror of Gaynard Hansen's Torrid Red 2004 GTO. Gaynard explains, "I was out cruising one morning very early and drove through a Pontiac Dealer's lot looking for another 2004 GTO. As I was leaving, I noticed a Senior GTO apparently wanted to follow my red GTO. It looked very clean and had an awesome color." Click here to see pictures of Gaynard's 2004 GTO with our Advanced Picture Searcher by using year2004, model=GTO, and owner=Gaynard Hansen.CLICK-> 
Burgundy 1970 GTO hardtop owned by John Kitching. John tells us, "I've owned it since August 1998. It's 428 powered with a 4-speed. It was originally a 455 car which also came with the 3.31 12-bolt safet-t-trac rear. The burgundy paint was updated to a '95 GM burgundy color. I'm a proud member of the
Tidewater G.T.O.S Pontiac club." |
