This 1965 Pontiac LeMans GTO tribute convertible runs and looks great. Super nice paint and gets compliments every time she's out and about. This was an off frame restoration, and I got it in a real estate transaction. I don't drive it as much as I'd like, and only put less than 200 miles on it since I've had it, so she needs a new home. Only has about 500 miles since restoration. Almost everything on it is new; will try to list some here, but the list is long. Will also list what may need fixing as well.

New: Wheels & tires, 4 wheel disc brakes (no E brake)-stops on a dime, bumpers, tail lights & bezels, interior seats & carpet, door panels, modern gauge cluster (over $1000 worth), dashpad, emblems, convertible top (& weatherstripping) with new hydraulic motor, windshield, paint (completely stripped before re-paint), rocker mouldings, radiator, master cylinder with power booster, starter & alternator, Tri-Power carbs (all have been gone through), tubular A arms in front, turbo 400 transmission, front shocks and rear air shocks. I'm sure I'm missing some things, but everything works great and looks beautiful.

Things that may need attention, like with any older car: The horn doesn't work, they didn't install one, looks like. Due to about a 4" scratch by a bike on the rear left quarter panel, they touched it up but in certain light you can see a slight difference in paint in that spot. Transmission drips a little from the pan gasket. On & off, it drips a few drops of oil. Whoever installed the interior did not do the cutouts for ashtrays in the back armrests, so no ashtrays.

All in all, it's in super shape, and a "real" GTO in this condition would probably go for $40-50K. Nothing like driving a beautiful car with the top down.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, 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.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General 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.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At 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."
