Up for sale is my 1970 GTO Verdoro Green. I have owned this almost 10 years now and am thinking it is time for a new toy. This car was originally fro California which I believe is why it is so clean. It has a non numbers matching drivetrain but the block is a WT 400 1970 block. The heads are #12 heads with hardened valve seats. Cam specs, duration 298/303, Lift .466/.488. CompCams roller rockers 1.65 ratio. It has an eagle crank and eagle rods with BRC pistons that have been dished to lower the compression to 9.5 to 1 so it runs good on pump gas. Also the rotating assembly was balanced, Heads have been mildly ported and the intake was gasket matched. it has a 750 quadrajet carb that has been gone thru to feed this monster. Engine only has about 2000 miles since it was rebuilt. This car is incredibly fast and really puts you back in the seat but to look under the hood it looks pretty stock except for the headers and air cleaner. I do syill have the original air cleaner that will go with the car, I also still have the California emissions charcoal canister that the car came with. Right now it still has the original 10 Bolt open rear end but I have a 12 bolt posi rear with 373 gears which I will let go with the car for an additional $500. The interior is near perfect, The body is very nice but the paint is 10 years old so it is not perfect. It has a scratch in the drivers side rear quarter a small dent in the passenger door and the nose has the typical cracks that the endure nose is prone to. See the pics for all of this I have tried to show all of this. Under the hood is very clean as is under the car which was all cleaned and painted about 8 years ago. Mechanically the car is perfect but could use a frontend alignment it does not pull and has no play but the steering is easier then it should be so I think it could use an alignment. It has a new clutch and pressure plate installed this year. Headers are Hooker super comps and the exhaust is 2.5" from pypes.This car was originally a 3 speed manual but at some point someone installed a Muncie 4 speed which works great. Tha radiator is a 4 core and was replaced about 4 years ago. The gas tank was replaced about 5 years ago. Car original had manual drum brake but I converted it to power front discs, after I did this I never had the alignment done so this is why I know it needs one. car had a hot start issue on those hot summer day which is common in Pontiac so I installed thicker gauge battery cables and a high torque mini starter from summit racing. This car starts right up every time and runs perfect, I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. I have set a reserve because I do not want not give it away however you could not build this car for what my reserve is. Car is for sale locally also so I can end auction at any time if it sells. Short videos follow these links http://youtu.be/CUC3bG8UUSo and http://youtu.be/oErP1u-kZBk If you have any questions pleas don't hesitate to ask. buyer is responsible for shipping of vehicle however I will assist as much as possible on my end.

Fiero-based Zimmer Quicksilver was objectively terrible, but we'd totally drive it
Wed, Jan 19 2022Now here's something you don't see everyday. It's listed in our classified ads as a 1986 Pontiac Fiero, but as you can see, that description is a bit misleading. In fact, it's a Zimmer Quicksilver, which was indeed built atop the guts of a mid-engine Fiero coupe but was heavily modified by the Zimmer Motorcars Corporation at a facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. And the one you see here actually seems to be a pretty decent deal for a highly unusual car. We're not sure what was a more popular starting point for kit and custom cars in the 1980s and 1990s, but it would have to be either the Fiero or the vintage air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle. Fiero-based machines usually mimicked the design direction of any number of highly desirable Italian stallions, most commonly, we'd guess, the Lamborghini Countach. The Quicksilver is an altogether different animal, with over a foot of extra wheelbase added in front of the A-pillar to make for a dramatic, long and low silhouette that somehow still only has barely enough room for two passengers in its leather- and wood-lined interior.

A stock 2.8-liter V6 engine from General Motors is mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that sends 140 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Period road tests found the 0-60 run took a little over 10 seconds, which is terrible today but wasn't all that bad for the mid '80s. Best we can tell, only around 170 Quicksilvers were made between 1984 and 1988, which are, not coincidentally, the same years that Pontiac produced the Fiero. The 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver you see here is priced at $18,495 and shows well under 30,000 miles on the odometer. There aren't a lot of Zimmer Quicksilvers currently for sale for us to compare, but the ones we did find that had sold within the last few years suggest a little under $20,000 is a reasonable asking price. It could be a fun and offbeat addition to the garage, and if nothing else, you're not likely to see another one at your local car show. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

Distracted driver crosses center line and hits police car
Wed, Apr 6 2016Attentive driving and quick reflexes saved the life of a police officer in Hudson, WI, when an oncoming driver drifted into the officer's lane and struck his cruiser. According to KMSP, the officer was patrolling along a busy road through Hudson on March 31 when the crash occurred. Dash cam video from the patrol car which was released to local media shows the dramatic collision unfold. As the officer came around a mild left-hand curve, a white, 90s-era Pontiac Grand Am continued straight through the curve, across the center line, and directly into the officer's path. The officer was able to avoid a head-on collision, but the Pontiac still struck the driver's side of the patrol car. "Both the officer and the other driver are ok, however, this accident could have been much, much worse," said a Hudson Police Department official on the department's Facebook page. "So please remember to pay attention to your driving at all times when behind the wheel." Minnesota's Department of Public Safety estimates that one in every four crashes in the State of Minnesota are caused by distracted drivers. DPS believes that the actual number may be higher, but police often have difficulty proving distracted driving as the cause of a crash. Government/Legal Pontiac Driving Safety Coupe Police/Emergency
