XU is the 3.31 12 bolt Mckinnon (GM Canada) axle with Safe T Track. Car should be a 455 4 speed.
Edit: Boss you're quick...

Wow, what a cool '70, and an impressive option list! Wish I hadn't sold my '70 455/4 spd car all those years ago...
Welcome to the board, Al.

I saw an add on autobuy where the person was selling a similar 1970 GTO 455 4-speed and stated 1 of only 150 produced. I don't believe it is that rare.

I saw that it had a vinyl roof but I will not be replacing that. Going to keep it as is.

 Eric is a member here (gtoric), and his book as used as the "bible" by the GTOAA in their judging. It includes a sample build sheet from each model year and breaks down all the codes from the cowl tag, RPOs, etc. Available at his website http://whitehouse-graphics.com, Amazon or at fine bookstores everywhere... I usually keep it in my office at work, but am thinking about getting a second book to keep at home as well. K

Eric doesn't have a lot of copies left so it would behoove you to get on the ball and snap one up! Clearly a must-have for any GTO fan!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
