Here is a GTO (Clone) This started out life as a Tempest Custom but as you can see Looks exactly Like a GTO! I have Spent a TON of Money on this car so far Just getting all the required Stuff to convert it into a GTO. It is Not just a hood swap like a lot of guys do and then call it a clone I went the Whole Nine yards and bought just about EVERYTHING!!!!! As you can see we changed the Tail Light Panel to a GTO, I found a set of GTO Tail Lights and they are Installed with New Gaskets and Bolts. I also found a Real set of GTO Grilles (not repo's) I bought the GTO Parking Lights and they are Brand New in the Box. Grille Surrounds are still needed. I have new Window felts in The Box, New Door Handles, EVERY GTO Emblem that goes on the car. (Inside and out) I also have the GTO Lucite that goes above the Glove Box and the Grab Handle. I have a Brand New Trunk Seal and I also Bought Brand New Bumpers that are still in the Box! I also had the Bumpers Brackets Sand Blasted and Powder Coated. (most of them can be seen on the spare tire in the trunk) I also Bought a 1967 Center Console and "His And Hers" Shifter and I put New Wood grain on the Console and the Shifter. I also have all the Brackets needed to install and hook up the Console and Shifter! The Dash also has New Wood Grain on it. .. The Hood is A Factory GTO Hood, (Not a Repo) The car has a New Dash Pad, new arm rest bases and Pads and New Rugs. Car Also has a New Dual Exhaust with Flowmaster Mufflers. Top has never really been out in the Weather since it was Installed. I also have Brand New Wheel Well Moldings, and the Chrome that goes on top of the Door Edge and Quarter edge... It is supposed to have a 1969 350 in it and it has an Aluminum Intake and a Holley Carb. The car Also has Power Steering and Power Brakes.... All it needs Now is to be Block Sanded and Painted. Recover the Interior and You'll have a Beautiful Convertible for the Summer! The floors and trunk are Solid, No rust!.. The Underside Looks Great!! .. This is a Very Solid car! I just put a New Battery in it from "Sams's Club" 5 Months ago. It will need a Battery tray. (I didn't get one because I was considering putting a Chevy Motor in it and I would have to relocate the battery Tray to the Opposite side) It also has Air Shocks on it. There is tons of stuff in the trunk to finish the car, Sand Paper, air board paper, thinner, some primer, Lacquer Thinner ect ect.... The car was Original Red, I was going to redo it Red with a White Interior. .It would look Gorgeous!!! But I lost Interest. Like I said I have a Ton of time and Money in it so far, My Loss is your gain! There isn't much left to do! I know I,m forgetting stuff and I'll try to add later. Check out the Pictures. Thanks for Looking. Buyer is responsible for Shipping. Uship.com is probably the most reasonable. They bid for the Lowest Price. Also wanted to say that the Tires are still new, Just have been going around the Block from time to time. Also the car is Located in Sewell, NJ 08080 at this time if anyone wants to see it. I am Currently in Florida but My Brother can show it to you if needed. Thanks for looking.

Just so everyone know, to change the Interior over to White it will cost a total of $1195.00 from a Company called "TamRaz" That includes Everything even a Convertible top boot. If you want to keep the car with Black interior it would be cheap to finish, you would Only need front door panels and front seat covers. I have over $15K invested in this car. You can buy it here for less and still have a Finished Product for under $20K. You could be cruising in a Car that Looks like its Worth $50,000 for under $20,000. I have included 2 Pictures of How I was going to make the car look. See the 2 Pics I just added. This is what the car would look like when finished!

I would like to add that I may be interested in a Trade, I would prefer a 1967 to 1969 Camaro or a 1964 to 1972 Chevelle / Elcamino.. I,m a Chevy Guy. But I may be open to any Interesting trade of equal value or above. .. Remember, when the Top goes down the Price goes up! ... I just added 4 more Pictures, they are what the car looked like before I started working on it. As you can see the car was in very good condition before I started.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

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."
