1970 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Carrollton, Missouri, United States
This GTO is a documented California delivery with a rust free body. The Atoll Blue paint was finished in Dupont
Chromabase B9808K Alt 1 and Dupont Premier Clear in the summer of 2005. The body lines are excellent and the fit
and finish is superb. The chrome and bright trim is excellent and both the exterior mirror and rear bumper were
replated.
The Engine:
The 400 Cubic Inch Pontiac V8 is original and was rebuilt in 2005 with about 90,000 miles on the engine. A Missouri
Performance Engine Shop did the rebuild to Ram Air 3 Specs with Ram Air 3 Camshaft. Other performance upgrades
include Pro Rebuilt Carburetor ($399) and Ram Air factory headers and ultimate exhaust kit ($740.00) The engine
starts right up on the automatic choke with an awesome rumble. The big V8 performs flawlessly, carries 60-80 pounds
of oil pressure with no smoke and no leaks. Take a look at the engine bay images... all correct hoses, hose
clamps, fittings, and even factory decals are correct. The air conditioning system is complete and works
perfectly... my meticulous friends even restored the original California Evap Emission System... AMAZING!
The Interior:
The matching blue interior of this GTO is nearly flawless. The dash and dash pad are perfect! All the lights and
switches work perfectly including the A/C and all of the power windows. All the gauges work perfectly except the
odometer is stuck. The center console is excellent, the headliner is superb, the front buckets and rear bench have
no noticeable wear and the blue carpeting is nice as well. The front passenger floor mat could use a cleaning. The
sport steering wheel and horn button are excellent. The interior has two non stock upgrades... they are an under
dash Air Fuel Ratio Gauge ($200) these gauges are an excellent tool when tuning a vintage muscle car, and the stock
AM radio was upgraded to stereo with I-pod compatibility by S&M Electro Tech ($430)... this upgrade is invisible
and the I-pod connector cable is accessed through the ash tray... very nicely done.
The Transmission:
The automatic transmission received a complete rebuild in July of 2006. The transmission shifts crisply and handles
all the torque of the big V8 with no leaks or evidence of slippage.
The Trunk:
The trunk is in excellent stock condition with no evidence of corrosion or damage. Stock spare tire, jack, and hold
down hardware are present as well as jacking instruction decals. Trunk seal is in great condition.
The Chassis:
Take a look at the photos... a rust and damage free frame, new fuel tank, new free flow exhaust, new shocks,
springs, sway bars, and brakes, four new PMD wheels and 4 very nice BF Goodrich TA Radials. The car drives and
handles like a new car.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
