1970 Pontiac Grand Prix
 
With the overwhelming success from the previous year '69 redesign,  Pontiac essentially carried over with the basic design for the 1970 Grand Prix. With the exception from the previous year the grille itself now featured vertical slats, and vertical hash marks appeared on the front fenders just behind the front wheels. New interior upholstery patterns and the reintroduction of the bench seat consisted of most of the visual changes. The big news for 1970 was a special Hurst SSJ version, a semi-custom conversion with an electric sunroof, gold-colored wheels, and a Hurst shifter. The SSJ started life as J models (the vinyl accent stripes on SJs were incompatible) built by Pontiac, than sent to Hurst. All 272 cars were painted either Starlight Black (code AA) or Cameo white (code CC) . Interiors were black, ivory, or sandlewood in cloth or all-Morrokide. Mandatory options included body-color Sport mirrors, G78 x 14 whitewalls and Rally II wheels. The Space-Saver spare and Ride & Handling package were recommended. After assembly, the cars were shipped to a Hurst plant in Southfield, Michigan where Frost Gold accents were applied to the hood, side windows, front of the roof, and Rally II wheels. A landau-style half-top (Antique white, white, or black) was installed, as was a steel electronically operated sunroof (similar to that used in the Cadillac Eldorado).

Production Numbers: 65,750
Engines Options: 400 V8 300 bhp. 400 V8 350 bhp. 455 V8 370 bhp.
