1969 Pontiac GTO "The Judge"                                                                        This is a rare opportunity to own one of the nicest factory Pontiac GTO Judge Ram-Air III's left in existence.  This is an authentic code 242 GTO with the extremely rare special ordered code 72 Carousel Red paint and "The Judge" option. The data plate shown in the pictures verifies all of the information on this Judge. This hard to find goat is fully documented by the Pontiac Historical Society, and is also in the Judge Registry. This GTO was an original rust free Texas car that has always been absent of rust and corrosion from day one. It was purchased brand new from Taylor Pontiac located at 128 S. Lancaster Avenue in Dallas Texas. I made the purchase in January of 2010 from the Auto Worx Classic Car Museum in Hollywood Florida where it was admired for many years. This is the first public offering, so take advantage and bid today. This true Judge went through a meticulous full cosmetic and mechanical restoration. The body panels were removed to be painted off of the car. The front windshield and rear window were also removed. This was an accurate and correct restoration to insure that the body would come out laser straight. The factory original functioning Ram-Air hood has the awesome hood tachometer option that works beautifully, and lights up well at night. The Ram-Air III numbers matching Big Block 400 was completely rebuilt to factory specifications. The original Turbo Hydromatic 400 transmission was also completely rebuilt. This Pontiac GTO with the Judge option starts, drives, and stops as well as the mileage showing on the odometer, although it can not be verified as original. This car plain and simply runs, looks, and drives like new. The head lights, bright lights, turn signals, emergency lights, license plate light, side marker lights, and interior lights all work as they should. The dual exhaust is entirely new with correct pipes including the mufflers, and the correct chrome exhaust tips for the 1969 GTO. This goat has power steering and the wood wheel is in pristine condition. Anyone who knows these cars, knows how rare the center PMD horn button is. The original dash pad is in mint condition, and the speedometer is accurate with all the gauges working correctly. The factory options include the unique Judge spoiler, rally gauges, clock, remote controlled chrome drivers mirror, and power front disc brakes. The entire braking system has been completely gone through to allow this goat stop on a dime. The entire interior was reupholstered, including the bucket seats, rear seat, all the side panels, carpeting, new door sills, and all new rubber gaskets. This car originally came with an AM radio, but now has a factory AM/FM, although the speaker needs to be replaced. The original factory air conditioning is completely hooked up, recently totally rebuilt and blows ice cold. The original 1969 factory Pontiac owner's manual is included inside the glove box. I tried to replace all of the factory correct decals to make this Judge appear the way it did when it rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor back in 1969. This Judge rides on a brand new set of four raised white lettered B. F. Goodrich Advantage GT radials on the Pontiac rally wheels with all new PMD center caps, and all new correct GTO lug nuts. The rock solid undercarriage was detailed with black satin paint, and a new gas tank was installed. The trunk compartment was coated with AC Delco black and aqua spatter spray, and then clear coat was applied to make it appear factory correct. A nicely restored original jack sits on top of a new trunk mat. There is a full size detailed rally wheel spare in case there is a mishap on the road. With a quick tire change you can be back driving looking complete in minutes. This GTO still has its original "Safety Track" 10-bolt Posi-traction rear-end. The majority of "The Judge" models had a manual transmission. This car is one of 1534 built with an automatic transmission making this particular Judge even more rare and highly desirable with factory ordered air conditioning. An exorbitant amount of pain staking hours, time, money, and effort went into restoring this Judge to show quality status. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide that anyone can look up on line has the 1969 Pontiac GTO with the Ram-Air 400/366 horsepower engine, and the air conditioning option currently listed at $156,465 in high condition, $67,905 in average condition, and $33,885 in the lowest condition. The condition of this Judge is virtually perfect, yet the reserve price is much less than the average Nada value of this gem. This is a True Carousel Red beauty that I feel confident when I say there will be no disappointments. This Judge is as close to factory fresh as they come. I believe everywhere this car is driven, you will be the spectacle of the neighborhood. This Pontiac is an investment that will continue to rise as these cars have proven to consistently escalate in value. This car is for the guy or girl that always wanted one back in high school, or maybe wants to show off at their high school reunion to prove how cool they still are. Here is a prime opportunity to acquire your dream car. I try to list everything I can think of when I write a description, so every potential bidder can make the most informed decision prior to placing their bid. If you feel I may have left anything out please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. Car is sold as is.  Please call Rich at 804-339-0631 with any questions.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.

Want to buy a worst-in-show-winning Faux Ferrari Fiero?

Mon, Aug 31 2020

UPDATE: This heap sold for $5,001. But don't fret, there are more terrible cars out there for the taking if that's your thing. Today we bring you something truly terrible. It's not just a fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero, it's actually the world's worst fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero. And it's got the award from the Concours d'Lemons to prove it. It's so heinous, in fact, that it has somehow managed to become desirable, at least judging by the bidding history of this bright red affront to Maranello. Powered by a 140-horsepower 2.8-liter V6 engine (covered by an unconvincing and broken fake V12 cover) hooked to an automatic gearbox, this gloriously poor Prancing Horse won't be winning many stoplight drag races. There are bundles of stray wires hanging down from the dashboard, it has high mileage, most of its lights don't work, and it's ugly. Like, really ugly. And to top it off, this Fauxrarri can't currently be registered in its home state of California because it has failed its most recent smog test. Put simply, you're looking at a total piece of junk. But a piece of junk with internet notoriety, having been featured on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage after attending the 2019 Quail Motorsports Gathering — by mistake at first, and then earning a special place next to the porta potties — being the focus of a video series on YouTube and winning the aforementioned ribbon for Worst in Show at Lemons. Somehow, bidding has topped $4,000 at the time of this writing. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

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."
