1970 is generally believed to be the high water mark for American muscle.
The standard motor for the $3,267 GTO was a 350hp 400 paired with a floor-shifted three-speed manual. The first step up was the 455 at $57.93 with air induction for an additional $84.26. From there, the Ram Air III at $168.51. Top-dog was the Ram Air IV at a staggering $558.20 (plus mandatory equipment that added $200 more).
Rated at a highly conservative 370 HP, the Ram Air IV output was closer to 425 HP.

The car appeared at Mecum Dallas in September.
