1969 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Grand Prairie, Texas, United States
If you have any questions feel free to email me at: silvana_alphin@zoho.com . This beautiful 1969 GTO is a rare find. It's well maintained in and out, has recently been tuned and serviced so it
needs nothing. The red exterior and beige interior are a very nice combination, and are in great shape. This is a
True GTO, the VIN is 242379B135237.
The original 400 V8 puts out over 400 horsepower. It was rebuilt, bored .30 over and got an upgraded cam shaft.
Again, this is the original, numbers matching engine. The points on the distributor were replaced with an
electronic ignition system. An MSD box was professionally installed, complete with a rev-limiter to preserve the
engine. The 4 barrel Edelbrock carburetor is new, along with the entire fuel system. I had the fuel lines, the fuel
pump and fuel sending unit, as well as the fuel filters replaced, and the fuel tank got a rebuild and locking gas
cap. I also added a new battery, new starter and sparkplugs/wires.
The Automatic transmission is original, and is a 3 speed His/Hers with a Hurst package, and was just recently
serviced. It shifts up and down very smoothly even under full throttle. It has a very solid, factory feel, and I
will attribute that to the fact that the car has less than 40K original miles on it.
The interior is Beige and the leather is in good shape. Disclosure: The carpet is original and it used to be red.
This is the only thing on the car that could use replacing, but it's still decent and clean. The gauges and
instruments all work properly. This appears to be a non-smoker car, as the cigarette lighter and ashtrays have no
wear on them. I have all of the PHS documents for this car, and It appears that the first owner ordered the car
with a special package that consisted of 17 options, some of which were new to this model year. I will list all the
factory options eventually, but it has:
Safe-T track, Wonder-touch Steering, Cruise Control, Defroster Front/Rear, Power door locks, Power driver's seat,
Power antenna, and Air Conditioning, just to name a few. The 15 inch American Racing Wheels are chrome, and the
tires are new on the rear and fairly new on the front. Replaced and upgraded the brake lines and pads recently, so
this car drives and handles exceptionally well.
I am by no means saying that this car is show-room condition, but it's good at the very least. I would be happy to
answer any questions you may have.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
