News Pro Street 1970 Pontiac GTO - Gleaming Tower Of Power

Pro Street 1970 Pontiac GTO - Gleaming Tower Of Power



Overcoming A Trailer Tragedy and Satisfying the Desire to Be Different with a Double-blown '70 Pro-Street GTO
By Thomas A. DeMauro

High Performance Pontiac Magazine, February 2007


Owner Bill Bolin tells HPP, "I like my 1970 GTO because it stands out in a crowd of other Pontiacs and Pro Street cars." This is possibly the understatement of the year. With two blowers stacked one on top of the other, huge-by-large rear meats, and a hallucination-inducing hue, this GTO attracts curiosity seekers like children to an ice cream truck. The buzz on the Internet was intense before the Pontiac was even complete.
Bill and his wife, Christine, aren't strangers to Pro Street Pontiacs, having built a '68 Firebird from 2001 to 2003. In fact, it was while searching for parts for his Firebird that he found the GTO on an online auction four years ago. "It was originally built into a Pro Street car from 1987 to 1989," the resident of Shady Side, Maryland, recalls. "The previous owner drove it until 1991 and then parked it in a barn for 12 years, which took its toll."

I couldn't find the hp mentioned in the article either.
At least he knows that the 2nd blower makes things worse than better for racing. But hey, for shows and stuff it gets people interested.

Didn't Bill wreck his truck on the way to a show with that car in the trailer and it got totalled? I swear I was at the show he was coming to and it was the big buzz of the day.
