This is a solid car - you will be happy. You turn the key and it roars! It is a daily driver that turns heads and gets noticed. I took it to a car show, and after being persuaded to enter it - it placed third! I have included several pics of the car. The paint is a fair older job that may need some TLC in the coming years, but from 10 ft. - it looks great. A few air pockets, but no breakthrough - look at the pics.
This was a Tempest Custom convertible with a V-6 and automatic that has been converted into a GTO. Big block 400, 4 speed on the floor and all correct badges. It has power brakes and steering and a really nice stereo as well. The amp is in the trunk, and it can be easily removed for a more "era correct" look. The rear speakers can be placed in the trunk of the back seat as shown if you usually drive with only two people.
The hidden headlights operate as they should and the convertible top does as well. A new switch has been installed to control the top and new fluid, lines and electrical hookups as well make the top glide just as it should. Everything works on the car but the gas gauge. Included is a hood mounted tach if you want to use it - or you can hook up the tach in the gauge cluster. I was going to go hood mounted, but I just haven't done it yet. The previous owner said the tach worked, but I have never hooked it up - you can shift this car by sound very easily!
As you can see in pics, this car is immaculate. I tried to get a few undercarriage pics without a lift, but they are not very good. The car is solid. You can actually drive it home, if you wish. It drives out great, and sounds even better. I would love for you to come look at it. I've had my fun - now it's someone else's turn. I am 51 and a cruiser, so you can rest assured that it hasn't been dogged!
Comes with hood tach, a brand new black era correct steering wheel, extra set of shocks, schematics and restoration info and whatever else I find that I have forgotten to mention. Why am I selling it? I have two Bronco's that I am working on (67 and 75), and I need to focus on them instead of heading to the lake every weekend in this Bad Boy! Look at my feedback - I've sold cars, motorcycles, boats, etc. I try to be as honest as I can - and I bet you like this car! I did when I got it, and I've only made it better! Please ask any questions - and Yes - I will help with shipping - if you go that route. I will warn you, though - there will be a few wires loosened in travel as well as a vac line or two. I had to go through the entire car when it arrived!
Payment has to clear - and I have a small note left on the car thru JJ Best Banc - so you can use them for financing - they've inspected the car! Got to pay them off to get your title, so it may be 72 hours or so after payment - They are quick!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
