Take a look at this junkyard somewhere in South Carolina! Lots of 60's muscle behind this 1970 GTO hardtop. I wonder if that white car in the upper left is a 1969 GTO? CLICK->
Another shot of this junked 1970 GTO and more old cars in the background. This GTO is ready to go, all the tires have air. Is that a blue 1970 Pontiac to the left? It doesn't have hood scoops. CLICK->
Inside we have some holes in the floor. Everything seems to be here though. Missing the radio, but most are. CLICK->
Russ Carmolingo purchased this Palladium Silver 1970 4-door LeMans new. He picked it out at the Valley Pontiac Company in Oak Ridge Tennessee {dealer code 318-784). See plain-jane wheels and tires. This is how most of our cars looked when they were new. Not with the chrome rims and lettered tires of today. CLICK->
Here is the options list on the car. It has the 2-barrel 350ci engine, Turbo Hydromatic automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and air conditioning.
Here's a comment from a recent visitor...
