1971 Pontiac GTO 400 4bbl Turbo 400 Automatic trans Power steering, power brakes, Air conditioning Here is an opportunity for someone to own this extremely nice, low mileage, ORIGINAL GTO. We bought this car from the second owner, who has owned it since 1973. The car was driven sparingly from 1973-1987, and in 1987 the car was parked in a garage, covered up, and left untouched until now! A lot of work has been put into this car to bring it back to life after 26 years of storage. Here is what I have done to the car; -Drained old fuel -new spark plugs -new points and condenser -full carb rebuild -new starter -new water pump -new radiator -one new muffler -both new tail pipes -new front brakes -nice set of used tires -changed motor oil and filter -replaced all coolant -new brake fluid -all ball joints and tie rods have been serviced -and of course, a good ol' fashioned scrub down The car now runs and drives great. Has tons of power and feels nice and tight like a low mileage car should! Now, even though this is a beautiful low mileage car, it does have its flaws. The car has had a partial or full repaint in the early seventies. The last owner (who owned the car for most of its life) didn't even realize the car had been repainted. He said it must have been done in the first two years of the cars life because he did not have it repainted. Up close, the paint has chips and scratches, most which are on the front rubber bumper. The windshield has a small crack. The interior is in beautiful condition, however the drivers seat has some seam spilling, as does the drivers door armrest. The headliner has a few small holes, believed to be from a mouse during its time in storage. The only other negative about this car that I can find is that there has been some small rust or damage repair in the trunk floor, and very bottom edge of the rear quarter panel. Again, these repairs were said to take place before the previous owner purchased the car in 1973, he was surprised to my findings of these repairs. These repairs are still holding up very well and looking good after so many years. I have a clear title in hand from 1973!! Get in and drive anywhere, this car looks and works great! Call with any questions, 630-624-4242 My name is Matt. Good luck!! |

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
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.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
