1971 Pontiac GTO Complete owner history back to the day it was ordered by an air force academy grad named thomas arizmendi (whose name is on the protect-o-plate).
The car was built the month of june at the Fremont California plant and delivered to Johnson Pontiac in Colorado Springs. It was then prepped and picked up by it's new owner August 17th 1971.
Total invoice price with options was $4422.65.With his military discount of $658.65 his out the door price was $ 3878.03.
His new GTO didn't sit still long after graduation he drove his new Pontiac from Colorado Springs to Boston...then onto San Antonio Texas and ended his trip in Sacramento CA.Then a year of flight training-then assigned to Clark AFB in the Phillipines ...Thomas could not take his GTO with him so it was put up for sale in April of 1973.By that time the car had covered 24,000 miles and was in excellent condition.
Purchased by another GI in California it stayed there until 1984 then onto Grand Forks North Dakota until 1986 then moving to Witchita Kansas and staying there until June 2006.
By 2006 the GTO had accumulated 99,139 well cared for miles.That is when I purchased the car. The odometer now reads 99,298 miles....So in the last 7 years it has covered 159 miles-all going to local car shows.
This car is a real time capsule... totally unmolested-totally unabused and well cared for it's entire life.
The Cameo white paint is in amazing condition as is the interior right down to the GM floor mats that cost $13.65 when delivered.

The engine has never been apart with the exception of a Timing chain replacement at about 85,000 miles which included lifters-all GM replacement parts.
If you ever wondered what a 1971 GTO would have driven like in 1971 this the car.2 pumps and it starts right up-no smoke-no drama-no noises ...very quiet inside no air leaks.The doors close with a nice solid sound-just like it did when it left the factory.
I have restored cars and cars that have never been touched....but there is something about a car that has never been apart-they just feel different and drive different.
They are only original once and it makes a difference.
All paperwork included
Build sheet
Dealer invoice
Protect-O-Plate
PHS Documents
Glove box Folder with all hand outs
2 pages of owner documented history
It's time for someone else to be the caretaker of this rare Pontiac.
Thanks for looking

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
