Default Pics of my 70 G.P. 4 speed

Well, here it is. My latest purchase. Don't laugh, it's real ugly !! 1970 G.P. model J factory 4 speed. Has Factory in dash tach, AM/FM stereo with 8 track, tilt wheel, power windows, locks,and trunk release, cornering lights, 400 4bbl, M21 4 speed, 12 bolt Posi rear axle. Has cloth interior which seems weird on a well optioned car. Rust in the roof. Needs roof panel replaced. I have 2 parts cars.. both with great bodies. Always wanted a documented 70 4 speed car so I'm dedicated to restoring it. It's Atol blue with white top and blue interior. As rough as it is, it runs and drives great. Smooth, quiet, powerful...it's a G.P.! Everything works..A/C still blows cold, stereo works, windows, locks, all function. Glad I joined this forum. Thought I was all alone in G.P. land.

Great looking Prix! I'd loveto own a stick version some day.

Where are you located? I may be interested in a RH 1/4 when you're done cutting on your parts car.

It's always nice to see another GP get a second life.

Restoration of 70 G.P. 4 speed is coming along. Chassis and all mechanicals are done. Currently working on underside of the body. Hope to have body back on chassis soon. Will post pictures shortly. Been in contact with original owner who ordered the car new. Interesting that a lady ordered and specifically wanted a 4speed car.
