04gto With New T56 + More on 2040-cars
Bloomington, Indiana, United States
|
I have used this car to commute between southern IN and MI for the last 5 years with out any issues & 26mpg highway. So when reverse went out I decided to spend the $2600 to have D&D performance rebuild and upgrade the T56 trans. While at it I also installed a new LUK performance gold fly wheel, clutch, and pressure plate- New $650 DSS 1000hp aluminum drive shaft- O2 sensors- spark plugs- Slave cylinder- throw out bearing- speedy bleeder and radiator. Over $4K all together in new parts. It also has slotted cross drilled rotors, top end metallic pads, 18" 06 wheels with about 50% tire tread, and a $1K stainless works cat back exhaust. The same day I put the new trans and parts in I hit a deer 300mi into the first trip. I drove it another 2 weeks before settling up with the insurance and buying a Prius for my commute. The hood can be saved but it needs a fender, head light, front bumper. Also the crash bar behind the bumper has to be pulled out about 6". Should be able to fix for under $1K. The frame and suspension are fine and it drives straight as always. Can drive it home. I have the clear title but the insurance paid it out as a total so I'm not sure if it will show up as a salvage when you register it. $500 paypal deposit at close of auction cash at pick up for balance.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
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."
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
