1972 PONTIAC GTO 400 ENGINE....TURBO 400 TANSMISSION VERY GOOD RED PAINT TITLE: Clear title in hand with a VIN that matches, I am a mechanic, but I have dealers license to keep things legal, title will be transferred from me as a dealer. IS THIS A REAL GTO? I'm going to sell it as a replica, it could be, it has the badging, but lots of cars have been converted in years past. IS THERE ANY RUST PROBLEMS? No rust bubbles in the paint, the underside looks solid with not much under coating, both rear quarter panels have been replace, the floor look original to me. IS THERE ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE? None that I can find. WHY AM I SELLING THIS CAR? I’m a classic car restorer, but when I find a vehicle I like and can sell for a fair market price, I buy it fix a few things and resell. PAINT: The paint has a brilliant shine, no dents, no dings, the car is more than straight to look down the sides. The paint is nice and all the jambs and lips have been painted, the car was probably not original red, most red cars have been changed. A little orange peel and maybe a couple of specs in the paint, but the paint is rear good. CHROME: Very nice chrome, the bumpers look good with no dulling or rust or peeling. INTEROR: The interior is OK, the seat covers good, the only wear on the seat covers is a fuzzy rope on the drivers outer edge, the door panels good, the head liner OK, the carpet has some wear, but useable, the dash pad has a bad crack in the center. UNSERSIDE: It is good, but not detailed real beautiful. The floors look original to me, the frame good. GLASS: The glass is good and the window roll up and down good. SOUND SYSTEM: Cheap after market radio. ENGINE: The engine runs good, its a 6.6 V8, 400 cubic inch. It runs good, no knocks, no rattles and no blue smoke. It has a Edelbrock carburetor. EXHAUST SYSTEM: Nice sounding exhaust system, the mufflers look like Flow Master, the system is good, but not new. TRANSMISSION: Turbo 400 that shifts good with no slip, this is a 3 speed automatic. It needs a dust cover. REAR-END: No whines or growls, it original and has highway gearing. BRAKES: Drum brakes all around and they stop decent with power assist. STEERING: The steering is good, the car is power steering. WHEELS AND TIRES : Pontiac Rallies with decent tires. LIGHTS and wiring: The head lights work, the tail lights work, the brake lights work and the turn signals work. Interior dome is not working and needs a lense. THE GAS GAUGE WORKS! SPEEDMETER WORKS! Horn not working! Wipers work! Heater blower works. . GUAGES: The gauges are old school and in a pod under the dash. HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE? They open and close good., these cars did not have real good opening hood and doors due to the weight. HOW IS THE RUBBER WEATHER-STRIPPING? Soft and good. HOW IS THE BODY PANEL FIT? I consider it good, but not show car perfect. TRADES: Please no trades, they never work out and are just too hard! The rest of the information is boring unless you are really interested in buying the vehicle, its just buying details like shipping, paperwork, who I am, where the car is located and how to pay and contact information. CONTACT INFO: my cell telephone number is 423-506-8987, I do not answer when driving, while meeting with people, after about cell 423-506-8987 email: dreamcar@live.com <<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>I DO NOT SHOW CAR ON SUNDAY>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<< PAPERWORK: I know what to do! We are just a father/son 2 man operation, but we are a THIS IS NOT AN AUCTION, THIS IS A FIXED PRICE LISTING: I reserve the right to stop the listing at any time and sale the car “come look”. I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO STOP THE LISTING AT ANY TIME. THE CAR IS FOR WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED: The car is here at my garage in WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM: My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town of US OR EXPORT “I like Nations Auto Transport. They are located in Contact: Jim Page his office number is 816-295-6887 and his email is jpage@shipnat.com MY AREA CODE FOR TRANSPORT: The area code for PAYMENT: I require a $250 deposit for a Buy Now or to hold the car. I will take paypal for the deposit, but not for full payment. Option 1: Pay the old school way face to face. Option 2: Pay by check, I will wait till the check clears, I have had a fake bank certified check. Option 3: The safest is to let our banks handle it, my bank is a member of the transfer. And its safe for both of us. WILL I HOLD THE CAR UNTIL YOU GET HERE TO LOOK OR HAVE IT INSPECTED? Not without a $250 non-refundable deposit! I have held too many cars that people promise me they are going to buy and they never show up, their wife won’t let them buy it, they can’t get a loan or they just back out. Before you drive or fly a long distance you need to make sure the car is not sold. “The way I look at it is until you pay a deposit you’re just looking and dreaming”. INSPECTIONS: Please come look and be happy. All inspections are required to be done before the end of the listing. I listed this car as I see it as a 66 year old car restorer, please come and judge it for your self. I judge the car to my standards, this may not be yours. Paid inspectors are unpredictable, you might get a good one, but some of them do not impress me at all, they can make a good car sound bad on the report. They have to be very critical to cover their back sides and all their concerned about is getting paid. I understand how hard it is to buy a car without looking, but I think you should come look yourself. I don’t like paid inspectors, I like for the person that is buying to inspect for themselves. I think its fine to send a friend to inspect for you. To make it clear, don’t hit the buy now button and then inspect, come inspect first! BOTTOM LINE: My firm price is $12,999 I'm asking more on the local market. The game is not rocket science, ask a price and come down. It’s not fun to bargain over the cell phone all day long with people that live 2000 miles away and are not going to buy anyway. My firm price is the Buy Now price. I have sold every car I have ever tried to, so I’m not motivated to be bargained down. Read the ME section on the upper right hand part of the listing marked seller info. Thank You, Ron Watson cell: 423-506-8987 email: dreamcar@live.com I am very careful about taking payment, I have had a fake certified check, it looked real and the buyer seemed real. I will take one, but I will check you out. I am ebay varified, that means you can buy ebays buyer protection plan and they will guarantee thats I'm real, they will not guarantee the car.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
