Q. Is she reliable?
A. The car was a 14 month restoration project.
Since then I’ve been driving it now for about a year on the weekends.
Like all cars of this type they require moderate attention and respect incl. walk-around
inspection and warming the engine to atleast 160 deg. before cruising.
(the latter one due to blower and alum.conn.rods operating requirements)
The engine was professionally built with longevity in mind. It runs on 91 pump gas.
I can say it is very reliable at this point…combined in the entire build, I had to
work out a fair share of bugs, that was a long time ago. They were all minor but
nonetheless challenging and a great “ love/hate/love” experience, lol.
Q. The drive-train?
Inv. $23k here…it’s totally kick-butt! “Going to last a long time”
Q. Suspension?
Stock but new rubber or poly incl. subframe-body donuts, leaf springs, shocks, etc.
Q. Are there still areas for improvement? Of course, but in this car it’s principally
in body and then paint of your choice. In regard to that, in layman’s terms it’s “a 20 footer”,
which is not toooo shameful for me, lol. I did enter into a few car shows for joy and smiles!
Believe me, she’s a real head turner, enthusiastic, and a blurrr, oops, a blast to drive, lol.
Lucky and happy will be the new owner of this car, hopefully a fellow Pontiac lover.
...includes the hood too (classic ram air scoops model)...didn't want to cut a hole in it.
(VFN Fiberglass sells an awesome same style lightweight hinged hood, very reasonable price.)
This car is my pride and joy dream car.
I’ve put tons of time and dedication into her.
I lost alot of sleep, endured alot of unknown, and lost some hair too.
She’s one 'badass' car and sadly now I am forced to sell her.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
