Back in the day I had a 68 GTO. It was an awesome car I only kept it for a few months because I wanted a 70 Camaro more. Both cars are now worth a fortune and I don't own either one of them. LOL
Is it an early 70 455 HO with D port heads or the later 1970 with the RA IV type round port heads of course the round port heads made better top end power, but the D port heads are much rarer and some collectors like them over the round port version
It is the early HO 455 with the D port heads. These heads are the 64 casting codes, large valves. Factory ram air with ram air exhaust. Not sure why they switched things up between these and the round port ram airs (aka Judges), all I know is with some attention to detail, porting cylinder heads, etc, this baby straight out performs and based on my own extensive research, I’m not sure there are many out there like this one. Did see a 70 burgundy convertible 455 HO auction for 6 figures recently. Pretty crazy. Then again, it was a convertible. Just facinating to see the kind of scratch people are peeling out for these today…
@@joyntsjoint My great uncle was a Pontiac engineer he worked in cylinder head development he said the round port heads were not ready for the 455 at the release of the 70-model. he has been gone for several years and I can't remember what he said the problem was seems like it was a problem with combination chambers cracking unfortunately I can't ask him the.1970 1/2 -1972 455 HOs had round ports that makes your HO a rare 6 mouth only option! My great uncle worked on all of the 1960s and 70s HP engines from early 389,421 SDs all the way to the 73,74 455 SDs including the RA V and aluminum 427 HEMI he actually lived in Pontiac Michigan
@@insulman100 Oh wow, thank you so much for sharing this information! Obviously we don’t get to hear from too many people these days that were this close to the source. Definitely appreciate the insight.
Great cat, love the color combo. Big fan of the 66/67 GTO shape but this one is right up there
Angry bastard... Love it! Great color!
Pontiac GTO! The Judge! Glenn

Fantastic find. Now, how bout a "ride-a-long video? :)
I know of a video with a red 70 stick-shift car, (M-22), that gives us a ride. Super cool.

Sweeeeettt!
Sounds like that beast is drinking gas by the cup full.

@@joyntsjoint Don't know if you're interested but my Great uncle and Jim Wangers were good friends
@@joyntsjoint most people even Pontiac fans don't know about the D port 455 HO
Ain't no stinking LS either!
very very nice car! Only the tailtips are aweful

The only Pontiac 455 HO with high-compression D port heads.
