1970 Pontiac GTO that has been stripped for rebuild. Frame is in excellent condition, Body and Enduro Bumper requires minor work for preparation to apply paint. Some rust in floor and trunk pans but nothing major (small penetrations that have been treat and sealed). Have found some spots on car that have been repaired with fiber glass but not major in size or location. A lot of work was done on the vehicle before I purchased it, but a few spots remain that need some attention. Interior has been removed and requires full replacement. When the vehicle was purchased I was told that the engine and tranny have been rebuilt. The 400 has a Edelbrock 750CFM Carb w/ electric choke and runs strong and tranny shifts smooth (I do not know how many miles on the engine). Has been started weekly but has not been on the street in 6 months. Pics show parts painted, but needs to be redone. Pics show Two (2) sets of doors (painted set has some dents), Rear Valance (New), Front Valance (New), Rear Spoiler, and Enduro Bumper, and Original Dash ( Not Shown but Needs Replacement). Complete inspection should be performed by a certified mechanic and replacement of tires, shocks recommended. I have all new exterior trim - Wheel Well Molding, Drip Molding, Hood Molding, Weather Stripping, Headlight Bezels, Headlights, Rocker Panels, Door Handles, Locks, Parking Light Assembly, Rear Shocks, Coil Springs, Headlamp Bezels, Rear Tail Lights, etc... over 3K in parts. Described the vehicle the best I can for what I can see, but send any questions. Very good candidate for restoration

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
