1970 - Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Hackensack, New Jersey, United States
For sale is a completely restored, PHS documented, number matching 1970 GTO. This car is 1 of 1900 original, Starlight Black car produced in 1970. It is also an original, Black Vinyl Top car with extremely rare, RED interior, making the color and top combination extremely rare. It has just received a two year, "Frame Off" restoration. The car was completely disassembled and painstakingly restored and reassembled. As of this writing, the car has never been shown, and only has shake-down miles since the restoration was completed. This particular GTO is 1059, and was built on the third day of production, in the Baltimore plant on Aug 17, 1969. As verified by the title and the previous owner, it has only 57k original miles. The original owner drove the car till it lost oil pressure, in 1974 and parked it. The second “physical owner”, was a friend of the original owner. He purchased the car when his friend filed for divorce, but he never titled the car in his name. When I purchased the car, it had been off the road, in dry storage for almost four decades! The car still retains the original drive train, that is completely rebuilt, including the original 9799914 block w/VIN, 12 heads, 7040263 carb, 068 intake, 1111176 distributor, 660 M20 trans w/VIN, frame, Harrison radiator, rad support, and its ORIGINAL BUILT SHEET! There are six verifiable VINs on this car, they are as follows: Drivers door tag, Dash VIN plate, (2) hidden Firewall VIN around the fan & under the heater box, on the Block, and transmission. The frame VIN is only partially visible but it is there. Options include, 400 CID, WT code engine, with a 4 speed transmission, Power Steering, Power Disk Brakes, Soft Ray Glass, Vinyl Top, bucket Seats & Console and AM radio. During the restoration process I added, Rally gauges, in-dash tachometer, HO exhaust manifolds, 3:90 12 Bolt Posi, and 15" Rally II's wheels. I have the original 3:55 10 bolt rear and will either turn it over to the buyer or re-install it if the buyer prefers. The car still retains all of its exterior sheet metal. There is only one patch in the exterior. It is smaller than a silver dollar, and it is located in the lower LHS quarter, behind the tire, and it’s completely covered by the wheel opening trim. All of the exterior chrome & stainless is in excellent condition, and most of it is also original to the car. The floor and trunk are also original, with only two minor patches, one on the drives toe area and one in the trunk, typical of vinyl top cars. Neither patch can be detected from either inside or under the car. The interior has been completely restored with “Legendary” sear covers, door panels, carpet, arm rests and headliner. The kick panels, seat backs, headrests, console, deluxe steering wheel, and rear view mirror, are original RED items, still with the car, and in great condition. The fit and finish on this car is better than factory original. The panel gaps are show quality. The doors close like a safe, and match with the fenders & the quarters perfectly. The nose alone has well over 10 man days invested to assure the best possible fit & finish! The paint is all PPG products, starting with two coats epoxy sealer, four coats base, three coats clear / wet sand, and two more coats clear! There is almost two thousand dollars in PPG products on this car. I’m selling this car to fund two other projects (70’ GTO 4 speed conv, and a 57’ Chevy conv.) The GTO convertible will be for sale in a month or so, the 57’ is a keeper, sorry! I have over 100 pictures of the car, starting when I found it in a barn through the restoration, and up till today. I started the sale with just a few pics, and will add more current pictures in a day or so. Shoot me an email if you want to see something specific. If you would like to see it in person I will make every effort to accommodate you.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, 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.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
