Actually, the optional sport stripe for the GTOs in 1970 was the previous year's 69 Judge stripe that flowed from the top of the fender line to the rear quarter window, and not the 70 Judge fender brow stripes.
Was the PHS coded for the rear spoiler? That's another item that everyone seems to add to the 70 GTOs. It's kind of like the 69 Camaro cowl induction hood curse.
If he's keeping it and it makes him happy that's all that matters. But if he's trying to sell it to a collector as a correct restoration the seller is going to be fielding the same question over and over again.
It is definitely a neat car, in a great color. I wouldn't mind having it (if I won the lottery).
