Up for auction is a rare project, extremely loaded 1970 455 HO GTO. This is a true 242 car. The car was last inspected in 1991 (Speedometer 139,000) and has been sitting since then. The car has some trunk rust and typical top rust from having the factory vinyl top, needs a roof skin which are reproduced or probably find one on Craigslist. The hood has had some welding on the inside,not sure if the perfectionist restorers would want to use it. The floors the best I can tell look good from underneith the car. Frame also looks good,doors look good ,fenders look pretty good as does the eduro bumper. Someone probably in the 80s aultered a elcamino bumper to fit probably thinking it had a 70 chevelle look as the pictures show. The options are as follows after looking the car over OPTIONAL 12 BOLT REAR END THAT COULD BE ORDERED ONLY IF YOU ORDERED THE 455 HO ENGINE, POWER DISC BRAKES, GAUGES, POWER STEERING, FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, POWER WINDOWS, REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, TILT COLUMN, UNDER HOOD LIGHT, OPTIONAL INSIDE MAP LIGHT, POWER DRIVERS SEAT, ALSO OUTSIDE REMOTE MIRROR WHICH IS BROKEN,all options are still on the car and not stripped off like other projects that I have seen for sale even the 12 bolt still resides under the car. THIS CAR CAME ORIGINALLY WITH A 360 HORSE 455 AND TURBO 400. Right now it has a 1973 400 engine and 400 trans. The oil looks good and there was nice green anti freeze in the motor. I believe the car was probably parked due to trans problems ,fluid is brown in color. The motor turns over easily but starter is not working or I would of tryed to fired it up. Its definitely a rare and worth while car to restore. Ask all questions before bidding and if you need more pictures feel free to contact me so you will be happy with your project. THE NEW OWNER WILL HAVE TO GET A TITLE THROUGH A TITLE SERVICE OR SOMETIMES YOU CAN DO IT YOURSELF DEPENDING ON YOUR STATE. NO TIME WASTERS OR WANTABE GTO OWNERS. IF YOU DONT HAVE THE MONEY IN PLACE DONT BID. IF YOU HAVE 0 FEEDBACK I WILL CANCEL YOUR BID IF NOT CONTACTED FIRST BEFORE YOU BID. I HATE TO HAVE TO STATE ALL THIS BUT THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF NON PAYING BIDDERS ON EBAY LATELY. HAPPY BIDDING

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?
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
