TV Star: 1970 Pontiac GTO Convertible

Disclosure: This site may receive compensation from some link clicks and purchases.

This real-deal 242-code 1970 Pontiac GTO Convertible is more than just a desirable muscle car, it’s also getting ready for its small-screen debut. According to the seller, this drop-top GTO is featured in multiple upcoming episodes of the fourth season of Dark Winds, the AMC TV series. With an asking price still to be determined by the final bid, you can see the car here on eBay and decide for yourself if this is your next muscle-bound cruiser.

Finished in red with a black interior, this GTO shows just under 100,000 miles and is said to be in solid daily-driver condition. That’s impressive for any 54-year-old convertible, but especially for one with this much history and Hollywood cred. The seller confirms it’s a true GTO and not a clone, verified by the 242 VIN prefix. While it’s no concours queen, it reportedly runs and drives well enough to be featured on camera, and it’s being sold with a clean title.

The engine is a 400-cubic-inch V8 mated to an automatic transmission, though the seller believes it is not numbers-matching. Even so, having a correct-style powerplant under the hood helps preserve the car’s character and value. While there’s no mention of any recent mechanical work or restoration efforts, the photos and description suggest this is a well-preserved survivor or possibly an older refurbishment.

The body is said to be in “very solid” condition, especially for a convertible, which are often plagued by rust in hidden areas. There’s no explicit mention of top condition, undercarriage photos, or other specific problem areas, but the seller invites serious inquiries and can provide running and driving video upon request.

Whether you’re a die-hard Pontiac enthusiast, a TV memorabilia collector, or just looking for a classic convertible to enjoy, this GTO checks a lot of boxes. With its unique background and authentic GTO credentials, it’s the kind of car that turns heads, on-screen and off.

Would you preserve this Hollywood cruiser as-is, or give it a full restoration to bring back its muscle car glory?
