Brief history, I got the car at age 15. It was running and driving and mostly complete. Over my high school years it was disassembled for restoration. Instead of restoring it, I got married and started life. Now, after 22 years, a wife, 4 kids & a mortgage later, the car is still un-restored. Maybe it's time to let it go. Here's what it is: PHS documented, Verdero green on green on green, YS code 400, auto, disc brakes, hideaways, A/C, tilt wheel, remote mirror & power windows. When I got it it had a running 400 from a '71. That engine is gone and I have a correct '69 YS code block, but is not #'s matching. The #'s off the front of the engine are 29Z117307 & 0500425 over YS, and at the back of the engine a date code of B 049 & 9790071. The heads are 62 with date codes of K 048 & K 128. I have all the major engine pieces, but it is disassembled and needs to be re-built. I've had the block checked & it's good. The tranny has been re-built & in dry storage for 20 years. The car needs everything, but is not rusty. It has seen some accidents, but doesn't need major rust repair. It's been skinned on the right side and has lots of bondo on both sides. It's been re-painted numerous times. Most major components are present, but it's missing some of the hideaway set up for sure, and who knows how many other little things. I've hung the front clip on it mostly for looks and for ease of transport. The front bumper and lower valance are real nice, not bent up. The hood is great. The front fenders are pretty rough. Good enough to fix if you really wanted original, but they have rust and dents. The dash is pretty bad, but I have another one with just a minor crack on top. The seats need upholstery, but the frames & springs seem fine. The windshield is not cracked, but has some delimitation and sand pitting. I have a youtube video of the car before the front clip was on. Sorry about the poor quality I was pretty sick when I shot it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZWnxwX6tdw Also noticed that the video/sound are not in sync, oh well. Please email or call 541-531-9995 with any questions. The car can sit in the shop for a month or so if arrangements are made before the sale. $500 through paypal within 72 hrs & the balance via money order or whatever in 2 weeks or so, depending on arrangements. I'd encourage a physical inspection, if possible. Again, the car needs everything, but it has great options and isn't rusty. Also, sorry about the sideways pictures. I'm not computer smart enough to figure out how to rotate them. I'd consider trading the GTO for the right late 1990's or early 2000's standard length 12 passenger (not a 15 passenger) diesel van.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
