Triple black: It's the color combination for a muscle car. Exotic colors are nice, but ask a car guy what turns him on and that's his reply, every time. Formal, cool and mean all the same time black/black/black cars are a breed of their own. Add in the very rare 455 cubic inch engine and ALL of the right visual options and you've got one of the best GTO's of all time.

Here’s how the PHS-sourced window sticker lays out the car:

24267 Pontiac GTO convertible
344 455 4bbl HO engine
351 Turbo Hydra-matic (TH400) automatic transmission
361 Safe-T-Track rear differential
402 AM/FM radio
422 Vinyl side stripes
464 Formula steering wheel
474 Rally II wheels
501 Power steering
502 power brakes
504 Tilt steering wheel
561 Power seat, full bench
582 Air conditioning
621 Ride and handling package
A2 Starlight Black paint w/black convertible top
62 Black bench seat interior

Look over the deep black exterior. The body is in excellent shape, free of dings, dents or ripples. The paint is smooth and flat. Rally II wheels with correct Firestone Wide Ovals are at each corner. The Endura front bumper, so frequently cracked and warped, is nearly perfect here. Stainless trim pieces are in great shape. The black convertible top is brand new and operates exactly as it should. The grilles are close to perfect and chrome parts from the door handles to the rear bumper sparkle. 

Pop the hood and take in the sights. Front and center is a warranty replacement, properly dated and coded YA 455 engine, resplendently detailed from top to bottom. Only 241 455/auto GTO convertibles were built in '70 out of nearly 3,800 total...do the math! The block is the proper 9799140 piece, with #64 heads and a date coded manifold and carb. You can tell the car's only gone a couple miles since new by the lack of discoloration on the cylinder heads by the exhaust risers: I drove it far enough to sort it out and no more. The inner fenderwells, core support, firewall and other satin black parts are perfect. The A/C system is new or remanufactured throughout, including all new hoses, a new accumulator, the compressor, all seals and more. I charged it up with R134a and it blows cold. A new power brake booster and master cylinder stop the car as new. There’s a new wiring harness in place, a reproduction cap on the new radiator and new hoses with tower hose clamps. New belts, date coded wires, fresh plugs, new filters and more mean the maintenance items have been replaced, and replaced properly. 

There are rebuilt seats with new covers, new carpeting, a new dash pad, a clean center console and mint door panels. The one change, from a power bench seat to buckets with a power driver's side, should offend no one but the top 1% of purists. They look better, are sportier and allow for more interior adjustment. The dash panels, both chrome and woodgrain, are brand new. All of the interior chrome is new. Clean gauges work as they should. Again, everything is fresh and everything works as it should. 
Underneath the key word is “spotless.” From the floorpans to the exhaust to the steering and suspension this chassis is well sorted, tidy and new. Steering and brake components are new and adjusted precisely. The automatic transmission is in excellent shape after its fresh rebuild, as is the 3.55-geared rear with new axles, bearings, seals and a brand new Eaton Posi. In keeping with its cruiser attitude the exhaust rumbles as new with its reproduction mufflers. The trunk is in the same condition: A new trunk mat, spare cover, the correct jack and spare make their homes inside while leaving plenty of room for car show supplies!

Please send any questions you have before you hit the buy it now and I'll try to get back with you quickly. I don't want to hear any excuses after (I leave negative on you if so). If you hit buy it now I'll be out of town till the July 26th so if you buy it before you will have to wait till Aug 5th to pick it up.

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.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here 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.
