Default Nice '70 GTO #s 400/4-sp, Red on Red

Always hated red on red when I was younger...passed up a '70 L78 Chevelle because it was born that way. Now I love it - and I'm starting to see more red interiors on modern cars, so that's saying something.

It has the passenger side recline seat back.....I was told a couple of times that they carried over the 68 style release for a while on the passenger recline seat. Anyone have any info on this?

Try as I might I can't find a Buick decal anywhere on the air-cleaner. Is it the one on the bottom?....Bill S

Yes Mr. 70, that is what I am talking about. I have had a couple of pairs of bucket seats cores that I assumed were 1968 with headrests only too be told that they were 69 or 70 seats with the recline handles. Just trying to get some info on if this is true or not???

The "Buick sticker" reference by those in the Pontiac community is the 400-4 sticker on top. While it has a Pontiac crest, it is "made up" by the aftermarket. This sticker never existed and was never placed on the air cleaner lids by assembly at Pontiac in that era. A version like this was installed by Buick in that era - hence the "Buick sticker" reference.

As far as the side release goes, it definitely is 68 style - was changed in 69. I just don't know the answer regarding the reclining option - the folks over at the Performance Years forum would know.
