This is a real GTO Convertible. It needs a total restoration. As near as I can tell , it was last licensed in 1980. It looks like it has never been wrecked. Doors and trunk open and close as they should, with good gaps. There is some rust in the lower front fenders and in the cowl at the edge of the dash. The cowl rust does not show with the lower windshield molding on, but should be repaired. The rest of the car is rust free. The trunk, floors, frame, rockers, and floor braces are excellent. No body sag in the cowl. Everything solid as it can be. The quarter panels were radiused for clearance for big tires. Left front fender and doors need body work. They do not need replaced. Right front fender is junk, but an original replacement is included. It needs some body work , but is a good , useable original fender. The urethane bumper is straight, but the urethane is deteriorated. A better bumper is included as pictured. Hood has a little damage on the right front corner, and I believe the hole in the hood is factory for a tach. The hood has not been folded and is not rusty. The hood is not original to the car. Quarters can be repaired or replaced, New quarter skins are included. Has original 3.55 open rear. I don't know if it is the original transmission or not, but I have no reason to believe that it isn't. Does not have its original motor. The motor in it is a 69 400 with the right casting number, block, heads, intake, and carburetor. All parts are date matched and correctly dated for this car. Fan shroud is NOS. Convertible top bows are in excellent condition, not seized up. Convertible top motor has been tested good. All convertible trim, windshield, and top well trim has been professionally restored. These parts are still wrapped, although not pictured , they are included. A set of 5 BFG radial T/A tires 245 60 14 Mounted on 5 restored 14 by 7 rally ll wheels with 4 new center caps are included with car, but not pictured. There are no trim rings or lug nuts. I have no rear bumper, I do have all the brackets and hardware. They are all excellent. I have no radiator or exhaust manifolds. Original color is midnight green, White top, and black interior. Options are: automatic transmission, radio, retractable headlamps, console, and power steering. The headlamp system is complete and moves freely by hand. I have not had vacuum to it. If you are looking for GTO project, keep in mind that this car is structurally sound, it costs so much more to restore one that isn't structurally sound and they are never quite right when they are done. I f you have any other questions, I would prefer a phone call over an email. My name is Cal and my phone Number is 509-226-1356.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
