Hello, Randy from Tampa Florida with a 1970 Pontiac GTO with an originally built as a Pepper Green on Green interior 400 cid automatic in Oshowa Canada. It is now Cardinal Red with a black interior 455 car. I still have the original 400 in safekeeping and enjoying the torque of a 455 with 4:11 rear gears. I know pics are a must from newbs. Thanks for allowing me to join the forum here.
Thanks for the welcome Ray, Yes, I learned much about GTO builds right here on this site while waiting to be accepted in. lol. Good reading here at Canadian Poncho. I feel lucky to have found this car as well.
'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
Great looking GTO ! My brother had the same car, yellow with a black interior, police interceptor 400, TH400. Quick !! Many street races won with that car downtown Calgary ....
Since your car was built in Canada you can get excellent documentation from GM Vintage Vehicle services. You'll get your vehicle's build date, option list, selling dealer and production numbers. Here is the link:
I have mentioned this before on here, I was asked to document for a US client a 197o Judge Convertible US built but Canadian Market car. The owner had the PHS documents which I did not find very useful. The GM Canada papers were far superior even for a US built Canadian sold car. For a Canadian Built Car like your's I'd say that's the only way to go. You will get absolutely everything that went into that car.
Ray do you know if they include a copy of the window sticker as well in that package?
As far as I know that's a No. If PHS does then that would be a bonus.
Canadian window stickers are very different from US. Do you know any history on your car, was it Canadian made and sold originally or was it an export version from Oshawa to the USA ?
That is just the way I would want my 70 GTO to look, if I had one. Beautiful stance, paint, everything. We are in Michigan most of the year but spend the winter in Ft Myers. If you travel to the south for any car events in the winter months, we would love to see the Judge in person.
Thanks for all the compliments gang. For you Fort Myers peeps I can make it down that way for a show and give you a heads up for sure. It just needs to cool off a bit man, its too bloody hot!
