I believe the trans and rear end to be original to the car per prior owner who owned the car for the past 17 years, I have no reason to believe otherwise.
Car was repainted its original (R-2) Montero Red, and retains its completely original and mint condition black (213 code) buckets and console interior. The interior is in as new condition, even the headliner, chrome trim, all are in pristine shape. The interior of this car looks like it was never even sat in! It's truly the nicest interior I have ever seen.
The exterior as I said is a 17 year old repaint of the original Montero red, and the car still shows GREAT! You'd never believe the paint on the car is 17 years old, not in your wildest dreams.
All the brightwork and chrome is in fantastic shape! The doors open and close like new. The door glass fitment and solidity of this GTO is amazing.
The 4 speed shifts great and this car is insanely overpowered yet well mannered. The car starts easy, runs on 93 octane fuel, and will rip the tires down the street in all four gears on demand.
This is a really nice driver quality GTO with all the right stuff! and it's a 4 speed to boot! This is a very original car that the original owner blew up the rubber band 389 engine and commissioned a $7,000 build on a very potent, iron head 428. The car needs NOTHING to drive and enjoy AS-IS. It's a completely capable vehicle that looks great and runs and drives beautifully thanks to a fully rebuilt drive train and front and rear suspensions. The tires are brand new as well. The car retains what I believe to be 100% original sheetmetal. This is not a bondo buggy or anything of that nature, but more of a nicely preserved unrestored GTO
The only gripes I have about this car is 2 things. I'm a avid Pontiac collector and know this car very well. I notice some repair work was done to the trunk and some minor rust is present in the floor pans. I am including a new trunk pan and 2 full length floor pans and associated braces. However, the car is fine the way it is, but for the guy who wants to spend a weekend making the undercarriage perfect, the $1200 worth of parts are here.
This car is a excellent local show car/ driver that needs nothing to drive and enjoy. With a rust free frame and excellent poise, the car is ready to turn the key and go!

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
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.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
