Mileage: 20,100
Make: Pontiac
Exterior Color: Eleanor Grey
Model: GTO
Interior Color: Black
Trim: custom
Drive Type: T56 six speed (dyno tuned 375 RWHP)
The car has had a full ground-up restoration from Corbettes Auto in Western NC. Funds from three combat deployments and two re-enlistment bonuses went into a five year project. I have receipts of over $100,000.00 for parts and labor; an additional $10,500.00 for the purchase of the 2006 GTO and thousands more in transportation costs. I began the project as a bachelor. I am married and a father today. End of story.
Details:
Interior of car and underside have been coated with bed liner protection. Using PPG products,the body was put in primer and sanded, color coated and sanded, and five coats of clear applied and sanded. The paint is absolutely beautiful.
The car has a full custom interior from JNG Creations in NC. I am most grateful for the exquisite work this award winning shop did on the GTO; the price he gave me he stuck too and said if he had another one to do it would be triple the price. Using a combination of modified '06 GTO interior pieces and custom panels, they created my favorite part of the car: power seats, power windows, a stereo without the exterior antenna, power locks, and many milled aluminum custom touches.
The following systems and parts were transferred for the '06 GTO: LS2 engine and T56 six speed transmission (dyno tuned to 375 RWHP), wheel hubs and brakes (these will accept any custom wheel for the '06 GTO), wiring harness and engine control module, the entire floor pan and some interior pieces, and the air-conditioning.
Major NEW parts installed: Moser 12 bolt with 373 gears, Unisteer power rack and pinion steering, Edelbrock suspension components completely replace the old system, Forge Star 18" wheels with Hankook tires.
Deficiencies: warning lights on dash for ABS and airbag have not been turned off, hideaway headlights are not operating ( I have been waiting for the sale of a promised electric motor system kit.), AC needs charging.
All serious inquiries are welcome. As a combat MOS Marine, I am very often in the field but my father is always ready to respond ASAP.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
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.
