1970 Pontiac GTO Found in the Bushes Really Deserves a Second Chance

And what we have here is a Cardinal Red GTO that has probably been neglected for too many years, and by the looks of things, it really had a rough time with all the vegetation around it.

Discovered by YouTuber DezzysSpeedShop in the bushes, this GTO is a 1970 model that doesn’t look too good, and at first glance, it’s hard to believe it can be restored.

It not only lacks too many parts, such as the headlights and the grille, but is also needs a completely new engine. If anything, this GTO can be used to restore another model, as there are several parts that could help in this regard, including the seats and the steering wheel.

DezzysSpeedShop says is this one of the ten GTOs on the property, so there’s a good chance the engine made its way to another project, hopefully one that hasn’t already been abandoned in the bushes.

If you’re the kind of person who sees the glass half full, then the full restoration of this 1970 Pontiac GTO would actually provide you with more options in all regards, including when it comes to the engine that you could use to power the new beast.

The 1970 Pontiac GTO was offered with a choice of four V8 engines, three of which being 6.6-liter units. The top unit, however, was as 7.5-liter 455 HO V8 that developed 366 horsepower, so if anybody decides to give the abandoned GTO a second chance, this is without a doubt the engine they should be looking for.

There were three different transmissions in the series, namely a 3-speed manual, a 4-speed manual, and a 3-speed Turbo Hydramatic unit.
