1968 Pontiac GTO the real deal. Not a clone. Original 242 car.

PHS states it as nightshade green, black interior, black vinyl top, buckets, console, clock, automatic with factory Hurst dual gate shifter, 3.36 gears with open carrier, power steering, factory power disc brakes, soft ray glass, Rally II wheels (correct codes), hide away headlights.

This is a project but the car is very complete and a great base to start. It has been sitting since the early 1980's so it has rust. I have the PHS, clean title and past owner history.

Engine/tranny: are not original. It has a good running 1970 YH code 455 block casting #9799140 with 1967 #143 heads, Edelbrock street dominator intake manifold, Holley 4brl carb, headers, dual exhaust and 1969 turbo 400 trans. The engine does not knock or smoke. Tranny shifts as it should. Battery is brand new. I have only driven it around the block and in and out of the garage.

Body: Car will need full 1/4's, wheelhouses, trunk pan, panel between trunk lid and rear window, both fenders, floor will need three areas fixed but not full pans. Both doors will need patching. Rockers are solid in and out. Roof has a hole near front of windshield. Trunk lid lip has been repaired. Hood has some questionable rust underneath. Front valence is dented but solid. Inner fenders are good. No rust around front windshield. Endura is straight. Rear bumper should be replaced.

Frame: Right frame rail just below the fender dog leg will need a patch, not major frame work, not major rot. Looks as if some moisture just sat in the lower rail at the turn. About a four inch area. The rest of the frame is solid. Gas tank will need to be replaced. Brakes work good. Tires are shot.

Interior: All there minus the carpet. Front seats will need new foam and be recovered. Door panels, quarter interior panels, kick panels, rear seat are very nice. Dash pad is near perfect. Steering wheel is very nice. Dash has been cut for a radio. Glove box door and its' interior are very nice. Center console needs to be recovered.

Glass: All soft ray glass is good with no separations and minimal scratches. Front windshield appears new.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At 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."

GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes

Sat, Jun 20 2015

General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
