This is a real GTO Convertible. It needs a total restoration. As near as I can tell , it was last licensed in 1980. It looks like it has never been wrecked. Doors and trunk open and close as they should, with good gaps. There is some rust in the lower front fenders and in the cowl at the edge of the dash. The cowl rust does not show with the lower windshield molding on, but should be repaired. The rest of the car is rust free. The trunk, floors, frame, rockers, and floor braces are excellent. No body sag in the cowl. Everything solid as it can be. The quarter panels were radiused for clearance for big tires. Left front fender and doors need body work. They do not need replaced. Right front fender is junk, but an original replacement is included. It needs some body work , but is a good , useable original fender. The urethane bumper is straight, but the urethane is deteriorated. A better bumper is included as pictured. Hood has a little damage on the right front corner, and I believe the hole in the hood is factory for a tach. The hood has not been folded and is not rusty. The hood is not original to the car. Quarters can be repaired or replaced, New quarter skins are included. Has original 3.55 open rear. I don't know if it is the original transmission or not, but I have no reason to believe that it isn't. Does not have its original motor. The motor in it is a 69 400 with the right casting number, block, heads, intake, and carburetor. All parts are date matched and correctly dated for this car. Fan shroud is NOS. Convertible top bows are in excellent condition, not seized up. Convertible top motor has been tested good. All convertible trim, windshield, and top well trim has been professionally restored. These parts are still wrapped, although not pictured , they are included. A set of 5 BFG radial T/A tires 245 60 14 Mounted on 5 restored 14 by 7 rally ll wheels with 4 new center caps are included with car, but not pictured. There are no trim rings or lug nuts. I have no rear bumper, I do have all the brackets and hardware. They are all excellent. I have no radiator or exhaust manifolds. Original color is midnight green, White top, and black interior. Options are: automatic transmission, radio, retractable headlamps, console, and power steering. The headlamp system is complete and moves freely by hand. I have not had vacuum to it. If you are looking for GTO project, keep in mind that this car is structurally sound, it costs so much more to restore one that isn't structurally sound and they are never quite right when they are done. I f you have any other questions, I would prefer a phone call over an email. My name is Cal and my phone Number is 509-226-1356.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
