PHS (Pontiac Historical Society) Documented
VIN: 824F32621
In the past this Muscle Car was represented as being a Royal Bobcat. I can find no documentation to support this
claim. It does have the lighter springs in the distributor but I have not torn the engine down to verify the
aluminum lock nuts on the rockers or the offset key in the cam.. I also do not know what jets are in the carbs. If
this was a true Royal Bobcat the intake gasket would have the water passages blocked which I cannot confirm. The
Royal Bobcat gaskets were in the trunk of the car along with the Royal Bobcat air cleaners.
With all that stated, It might be a Royal Bobcat or it might not. I am selling it as NOT a Royal Bobcat. If the
buyer can document the car as a Bobcat, he will have made a great buy.
This is an excellent example of a surviving Muscle Car. A 100% rust free, never hit or damaged car built in
Fremont, CA, and delivered to Bryant Pontiac in Covina, CA. The car was in California until it was purchased by a
military man stationed in L.A. in 1973. He took the car to his family home in Detroit Michigan. From 1973 to 1983
the car was a summer cruiser on WoodWard Avenue in Detroit and accumulated only a few thousand miles during the
summer months that decade. It was then put into storage until it was purchased by the previous owner in 2006. At
that time a complete restoration was performed. It is a 100% rust free and never hit or damaged survivor.
The care has its original #'s matching 389ci 348 hp 3x2 Tripower code 76XW block which appears to have been rebuilt
at some point.
The car retains it's original Muncie 4-speed and Hurst shifter. The rear end gears are 4.33 PosiTraction which
were installed in place of the original 3.23 factory gears possibly by Royal Pontiac. The original 3.23 gears go
with the sale.
The car was ordered with A/C however it was removed years ago possibly by Royal Pontiac and is now a non A/C
configuration. It has power steering, drum brakes, bucket seats with console, and am radio.
The car received a total restoration at some point with fresh paint, new chrome on the bumpers, and stainless steel
trim polished. New interior including dash, sills, dash pad, door handles, window cranks, front and rear seat
covers, carpet, headliner, and package tray.
The car received all new weather stripping and window seals. Redone and detailed trunk.
New vintage Sun Tach and mechanical gauges.
Everything under the hood has been replaced, restored, or rebuilt.
New 2 1/2" Pypes, mandrel bent exhaust, upper control arm bushings, new tires, brakes, and recored radiator.
The Royal Bobcat air cleaners are included in the sale as well as the original 3.23 gears.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
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."
