Mileage: 20,100
Make: Pontiac
Exterior Color: Eleanor Grey
Model: GTO
Interior Color: Black
Trim: custom

The car has had a full ground-up restoration from Corbettes Auto in Western NC. Funds from three combat deployments and two re-enlistment bonuses went into a five year project. I have receipts of over $100,000.00 for parts and labor; an additional $10,500.00 for the purchase of the 2006 GTO and thousands more in transportation costs. I began the project as a bachelor. I am married and a father today. End of story.
Details:
Interior of car and underside have been coated with bed liner protection. Using PPG products,the body was put in primer and sanded, color coated and sanded, and five coats of clear applied and sanded. The paint is absolutely beautiful.
The car has a full custom interior from JNG Creations in NC. I am most grateful for the exquisite work this award winning shop did on the GTO; the price he gave me he stuck too and said if he had another one to do it would be triple the price. Using a combination of modified '06 GTO interior pieces and custom panels, they created my favorite part of the car: power seats, power windows, a stereo without the exterior antenna, power locks, and many milled aluminum custom touches.
The following systems and parts were transferred for the '06 GTO: LS2 engine and T56 six speed transmission (dyno tuned to 375 RWHP), wheel hubs and brakes (these will accept any custom wheel for the '06 GTO), wiring harness and engine control module, the entire floor pan and some interior pieces, and the air-conditioning.
Major NEW parts installed: Moser 12 bolt with 373 gears, Unisteer power rack and pinion steering, Edelbrock suspension components completely replace the old system, Forge Star 18" wheels with Hankook tires.
Deficiencies: warning lights on dash for ABS and airbag have not been turned off, hideaway headlights are not operating ( I have been waiting for the sale of a promised electric motor system kit.), AC needs charging.
All serious inquiries are welcome. As a combat MOS Marine, I am very often in the field but my father is always ready to respond ASAP.

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.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
