Would You Kick the C8 Corvette out of Bed for This 1970 Pontiac GTO Convertible?

Since we've started by mentioning the Benjamins, we might as well tell you how much it would cost you to park this classic open-top muscle car in your garage. The asking price at the time of writing was $69,900, a bit more than the MSRP of a new 'Vette Stingray, which is $68,300 and does not include the destination charge, options, and dealer markups.

Sure, coming across a $70k Chevrolet Corvette Stingray in dealer lots is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. And there aren't any other sporty alternatives at the bowtie brand, as the Camaro is dead and buried, and only a select few know when it will come back. Because the moniker will return to the car world, yet nothing is known about it for the time being.

Now, let's go back to the 1970 Pontiac GTO Convertible, which has a 400 ci motor under the hood. This 6.6-liter V8 engine was offered as an alternative to the 7.5L mill. The power was deployed to the wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission, a three-speed manual, or a four-speed manual. This car features the auto 'box and has 44,222 miles (71,168 km) under its belt.

Moreover, it is a matching numbers machine that recently underwent restoration, including under the hood, where the V8 motor was rebuilt, so it should be good for 350 horsepower, which was the original output of this power unit.

It's finished in Polar White on top of a tan leather interior, has a white convertible rag top, Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires wrapped around the wheels, and comes with the factory air conditioning unit to keep the occupants cool on a hot summer's day. It can sit five, though the rear bench is more suitable for two, especially on longer journeys.

Does this particular '70 Pontiac GTO Convertible look familiar? It is not déjà vu, as we already wrote about it last September. But why dedicate another story to it? Because it failed to change hands, so the vendor has dropped the price significantly. It is still in the hands of Garage Kept Motors, which was initially asking $89,500 for it.

Thus, it is $21,200 cheaper than it was a few months back, and given its overall condition, it's probably a short matter of time until it finds a new home. Would you make it yours for the latest asking price?
