Highlights

Only 49,680 original kilometres, according to the seller
Purchased from original French owner
New stainless steel exhaust system

A plus

The Pontiac GTO is an iconic American muscle car that has done much to define the motoring genre. The convertible versions are particularly sought-after for their combination of open-top driving pleasure and raw V8 power. This 1970 example represents a rare opportunity to acquire a French-registered GTO with remarkably low mileage.

Having covered just 49,680 km, this GTO has undergone a thorough restoration: the engine was rebuilt in 2022, followed by a complete body and paint restoration in 2024. Its French provenance, highly coveted convertible configuration and the extent of the recent work make it a particularly attractive example for collectors and enthusiasts.
