The only 4.88 geared GTO I experienced personally was my friend's '66. He put the gears in a 12 bolt unit we got out of a red 1970 455 4 spd GTO that we paid $175 for. (the ign. points had closed up). He tweaked the dwell and drove it home. We proceeded to strip the car and use the parts to re-do his '66. Back then (1980) we had NO idea that the '70 was extremely rare (something like 108 455HO 4 spd cars made total), or we wouldn't have parted it out. It was red with a parchment interior, and was pretty clean. I have never seen anything steeper than a 4.11 gear in a stock, early A body 10 bolt housing/carrier, though the Ram Air 1 in 1967 had a 4.33 gear standard in it's 10 bolt rear end.
