RUST FREE CALIFORNIA CAR
ORIGINAL ENGINE
GM BRASS HAT CAR
PHS

HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A RUST FREE CALIFORNIA BORN 1970 GTO CONVERTIBLE. THIS CAR LIVED IN CALIFORNIA FROM THE DAY IT WAS BORN UNTIL THE DAY I BOUGHT IT 5 YEARS AGO AND BROUGHT IT TO INDOOR STORAGE HERE IN FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA. THE GTO HAS NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE OR DRIVEN( EXCEPT AROUND THE BLOCK AT THE WAREHOUSE ) WHILE HERE IN FLORIDA. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM THE BEST FRIEND OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER AFTER THE ORIGINAL OWNER PAST AWAY. THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY USED BY THE GM ZONE REP UNTIL HE BROUGHT THIS GTO BACK TO THE SELLING DEALER TO PICK UP HIS 1971 GTO COMPANY CAR. THIS WAS CONFIRMED TO ME BY THE DAUGHTER OF THE SELLING DEALER WHO REMEMBERS THIS CAR AND THE '71 THE GM ZONE REP DROVE. IT WAS THEN SOLD TO THE FIRST OWNER.

THIS ATOLL BLUE, BLUE INTERIOR AND WHITE TOP COLOR COMBO IS STUNNING TO SAY THE LEAST. I CAN SEE WHY THE ZONE REP AND FIRST OWNER WANTED THIS CAR.


WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IT HAD BEEN PAINTED A DARKER SHADE OF BLUE AND HAD A BRAND NEW BLACK INTERIOR INSTALLED. I HAD PLANNED A FULL FRAME OFF RESTORATION AND PULLED THE FRONT FENDERS AND HOOD OFF AND CHEMICALLY STRIPPED THEM. THAT IS A FAR AS THE RESTO PROGRESSED AS LIFE TOOK ME IN OTHER DIRECTIONS. THE BODY IS RUST FREE AND VERY STRAIGHT EXCEPT THE DRIVERS 1/4 PANEL HAD BEEN REPLACED MANY YEARS AGO FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER BACKING INTO THE 1/4 PANEL OF THE GTO IN HIS DRIVEWAY. IT SHOULD BE REPLACED AGAIN AS THE JOB WAS NOT UP TO THE CONDITION OF THE REST OF THE CAR. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FOUND A RUST FREE CALIFORNIA GTO CONVERTIBLE WITH ITS ORIGINAL ENGINE? THIS IS THE KIND OF CAR WE ALL DREAM OF FINDING TO RESTORE.

THE ENGINE IS ORIGINAL WITH VIN STAMPING. THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT BY THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD ONLY HAS ABOUT 1000 MILES ON IT. AT THAT TIME HE CHANGED THE HEADS AND INTAKE. HE KEPT THE ORIGINAL HEADS AND INTAKE AND THEY ARE INCLUDED. THE CARBURETOR IS A VERY RARE CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS CARBURETOR. THE TRANS MAY BE ORIGINAL BUT I HAVE NEVER CHECKED. I BELIEVE THE REAR END IS ALSO ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. 

THE A/C COMPRESSOR IS MISSING.

THE GTO WAS MISSING THE ORIGINAL RALLY II WHEELS WHEN I BOUGHT IT. I  PURCHASED AND INSTALLED A NEW SET OF 15x7 RALLY II WHEELS AND NEW BFG RADIAL T/A'S. THEY HAVE NO MILES ON THEM. 

THE TOP WAS JUST REPLACED RIGHT BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE TOP NEEDS TO BE CLEANED FROM DUST BUT IS BRAND NEW.

I KNOW THE PHOTOS STINK BUT THEY ARE THE BEST I CAN DO WHERE THE GTO IS. I WILL TRY TO GET BETTER PHOTOS AND POST THEM IF I CAN. I WILL ADD MILES WEDNESDAY  

THERE WILL BE MANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE, PLEASE ASK ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BID. THANKS FOR LOOKING.

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.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
