FOR YOU PONTIAC DUDES, 70 GTO RAM AIR 4 PICS

Actually, the optional sport stripe for the GTOs in 1970 was the previous year's 69 Judge stripe that flowed from the top of the fender line to the rear quarter window, and not the 70 Judge fender brow stripes.

Was the PHS coded for the rear spoiler? That's another item that everyone seems to add to the 70 GTOs. It's kind of like the 69 Camaro cowl induction hood curse.

If he's keeping it and it makes him happy that's all that matters. But if he's trying to sell it to a collector as a correct restoration the seller is going to be fielding the same question over and over again.

It is definitely a neat car, in a great color. I wouldn't mind having it (if I won the lottery).

Nice car, original engine too is awesome as the vast majority of these cars lost them very quickly, when new.
I do wonder why did they put the Judge stripes on, though?

Neat GTO. I like the color!

I see it has a 10 bolt rear end,i would have thought it should be a 12 bolt??

[mockingbird812]

455s got the 12 bolt in 70 not RAIVs and the drum brakes were standard on a RAIV GTO - better for drag racing!!

[HEMIBEE]

the disk brakes are an option even on the RAIV, the spoiler and stripes could be ordered also. looks like a nice ride!!

Nice car, nice color... go and burn some rubber onto the streets

Beautiful car! It's easy to see why the 70 GTO, the 70 Chevelle SS, and the 70 GS are considered styling masterpieces of the Musclecar Era!

At Mecum last Fall, we watched a 70 GS Stage 1 4-speed go across the block that was all original, and all the talk around us was about how beautiful the color was. The car was Diplomat Blue. This was a new color that was shared by GM intermediates in 1970 - Buick (Diplomat Blue), Pontiac (Atoll Blue), Oldsmobile (Twilight Blue), and Chevrolet (Fathom Blue).

Fantastic car, and congrats on the resto! Those RAIV cars continue to climb in value, and it's easy to see why. There were far fewer 1970 RAIV GTO’s made (less than 800) than the other GM Supercars. The LS6 (4,400+), W-30 (3,100), and Stage 1’s (2,465) are more common.

Years ago I have a 1971 GTO Judge CONVERTIBLE but can't remember for the life of me if it was a Ram Air IV or not. I sold it to a Pontiac dealer in the Chicago burbs back in the mid-late 70s. I always wondered where the car is today as it is my understanding that it was 1 of 17 built.

[mockingbird812]

Would not have been a factory installed RAIV. All '71s were 455s from the factory. I have also heard the "1 of 17" for the 71 GTO ragtops. Rare car indeed.
