That’s not the case, however, with this 1969 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Pontiac GTO for sale on Hemmings.com, both Ram Air IV automatic cars, both painted Starlight Black and sitting on steelies and bias-plies, both special-ordered new and drag raced by a Pontiac dealer in British Columbia, both capable of mid-12-second quarter-mile times.
