Up For sale is my personal car I've owned since 1996. I purchased it from a car lot in Studio City CA, that got it from the original owners wife after he passed away. I was so excited at the time I purchased it that I didn't pay much attention to the paint job. I noticed  later that the car  had a cheap paint job to hide a dented fender and hood that was filled with bondo. The car was not or is not  salvaged title but clean. This started the restoration on my part. I worked at a dealership at the time as a line mechanic. I got cost on parts plus 10%. I replaced the fenders,hood, front and rear facia with original GM parts. I also replaced the fog lights,headlight bezels,center console,door handles, GTA badging with all new factory parts. I did all this to give it the showroom appearence. I also replaced the door moldings in the factory color. I also replaced all of the t-top weather stripping and the door weather stripping. I've made factory upgrades to the car by putting on the factory Trans Am fenders. I felt that GM cheated people out of this by putting on a firebird fender and slapping GTA badges on it instead. You can run the VIN number at your local dealership to verify that it is a real GTA and not a clone. I've had an inop on the car since 1999 while I was doing all of the work. I smogged the car in 2004 to get the personalized license plates and then put the inop back on it. The car has new front struts & alignment. New rear shocks and height springs(HD). The Brakes, Radiator, alternator, tires,shocks have less than 500 miles on them but were installed more than ten years ago. The car still drives and rides excellent. While it was stored I have started it once or twice a month. I just recently replaced the battery and it has a 3 year warranty/ free replacement. There is nothing butchered or mickey moused on this car. I have installed a newer CD Player out of a newer Trans Am with a Kenwood Amplifier and Speakers. I used two adapter harnesses so none of the factory wiring harness was cut or spliced into, although I did cut off the connectors at the speakers. I tossed the original speakers because I thought they were awful sounding.  I still have the factory cassette radio that came with the car. Right after I bought the car the cassette player didn't work properly so I sent it in to Delco through the dealership and they put in a new motor and cassette mechanism. The factory radio can be re-installed and everything will work as desighned. With the stereo in it now the steering wheel controls do not work.  The also installed front rims to the rear so I wouldn't have to break the tires off the rims to rotate the tires. This car was going to be my daily driver. Just keep in mind that this car is 20+ years old and is being sold as is where is with no warranties. Also I noticed that there is cracking around the tires from sitting. The things wrong with the car that I never got around to fixing are the headlight motors stopped going up. You can open them manually and when you shut off the headlights they go down. I replaced the rear wing with an aftermarket fiberglass wing. This took 12lbs off the hatch and it pops right open. The original kept getting small cracks in it after it was repainted. The third brake light will need to be reinstalled. I have all the original parts to do this. The passenger door lock actuator is weak and should be replaced. I'm trying to described everything to the best of my memory and knowledge of the car. Please ask any and all questions before making any offer or purchase. I have more pictures of the car and can take more of whatever you would like to see. When I sell something I want the buyer to know exactly what he/she is getting. There's nothing worse that having it show up at your front door not being what you expected a thousand miles later and $$$$ out of your pocket for shipping costs. Therefore I recommend that you or you have someone you trust inspect it in person. I can help you in anyway you like. I'm sure I'm forgetting something so Please call or text me at 310-357-7321 By Placing an offer or buying the car you are agreeing to my conditions. I'm not saying this to be a jerk I don't want to waste my time or yours. Thank you in advance

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It 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.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
