More details at: trinatbbeerly@uknuts.com . 1970 Pontiac GTO 455/4 Speed Convertible This GTO was completely rebuilt Frame Off Restored . the rebuild was done
at considerable time and expense as you can see from the photos below (more photos of rebuild with car as well). It
has but 387 miles since its rebuild; runs and drives very well; and is a fun and very fast street car. Much
research went into this rebuild to make the car as close as possible to the special order Judge it replicates (of
which we understand there were just 3 originally); this information is included with the car as well. The period
correct 455 V8 is freshly built with a performance cam generating 420 hp. The engine is true Ram Air New black
interior with original GTO simulated wood grain dash contrasts sharply with the Orbit Orange exterior. The Muncie
M-20 wide ratio four speed transmission has the Judge Hurst T-handle shifter; a 12 inch rear with 4:33:1 gear
ratios was used with the 455. Car was fitted with a new power operated top as part of its rebuild
For the 1970 model year the GTO Just 3,615 were produced in 1970 Convertibles took on a whole new look. Styling
changes included a total Endura nosepiece with split oval grilles and dual headlamp housings (this new design
eliminated the optional hide-away headlamps), creased body sides, a different rear-bumper and taillamps, and
exhaust pipes that exited through a valance panel under the rear bumper. The hood-mounted tachometer and the Rally
II wheels remained as available options.
The base engine for the 1970 GTO was a four-barrel carbureted 400 rated at 350 hp. Other available engines were the
400 cubic inch Ram Air III and 400 cubic inch Ram Air IV. The Ram Air III was rated at 366 hp and the Ram Air IV
was rated at 370 hp. With GM finally lifting the 400 cubic inch corporate engine limit for the intermediate-size
cars, new to the 1970 GTO option list was a 455 cubic inch engine rated at 360 hp.
The Judge option was once again available with functional Ram Air hoodscoops, a rear-deck spoiler, stripes, and
"The Judge" decals.
The standard engine for The Judge was the 400 cubic inch Ram Air III while the 400 cubic inch Ram Air IV engine was
an option. The functional hoodscoops were labeled with "Ram Air" decals for the Ram Air III cars and "Ram Air IV"
decals for the Ram Air IV cars. Late in the model year, the 455 was made available in the Judge. 1970 GTO

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
