1970 Pontiac GTO convertible, 400ci/400 turbo auto., PHS documented,New Jersey car. Cardinal Red, White int.& power top that goes up and down nicely, power disc brakes, 3.55 limited slip rear, hood tach, Am radio,
I was told that this GTO is #s matching from the previous owner. I bought it to drive it so I've never bothered with checking. The block is cast #YS467758, #13 heads, trans 70-PY-17498, rear 9799100. If that helps anyone out there.
Older restoration done around 2000 new quarters and trunk floor professionally installed. Very presentable Cardinal Red paint job. The paint shines well with very minor dings here and there. They may be able to be wet sanded out I haven't tried. The nose shows some minor flex cracks that these enduro noses get and there are a few eraser sized rust bubbles on the hood. All in all the car looks good only on close scrutiny would anyone notice the flaws. Although its not necessary, a repaint of the hood and nose would improve its presentation.
The engine was redone to factory specs at the time of restoration. I haven't got many details on the engine build other than 350 Hp YS specs. I will tell you that it runs and sounds quite healthy. The odometer reads 49K and I would bet that when restored the clock was reset. So I am guessing that the motor has 49K on it. I have personally put 15K on it in the last 4 years. Just the other day I took it on a 3 hour loop to Summit Racing and will say its a nice ride.
The white interior is in very good condition. As is the white top. All the gauges work as they should. The suspension and steering are tight. Brakes responsive. The exhaust note not too loud to cruise in but loud enough to let yourself be heard. All the lights work, even the trunk lamp!
In the last year I have repaced the front wheel bearings, new exhaust, starter, and have purchased new stainless pinch weld molding(yet to be installed).
This is a great crusing drop top GTO. I've taken many 2-3 hour drives in this car with no troubles at all. This car gets driven regularly and without hesitation. Starts and runs readily each time. Has one small oil leak that will be rectified at this springs oil change ( oil filter housing needs a new gasket). The horn, radio, and clock do not work but other than that this car is ready to roll.
I am not selling out of necessity. Just dreaming of a resto-mod drop top 5 speed that I want to build. Although this is a really nice car, its not "My" car. I have no doubts the next owner will get many enjoyable hours in this one. For me its on to the next one.
This is no show car it is a very nice driver condition classic. As such expect to find minor flaws here and there it is not perfect and the price reflects that.
I encourage anyone interested to come and see it for yourself. It surely wont disappoint. I am 20 minutes from the Pittsburgh airport. If you have any questions call Chad 724-312-2529.
Thanks, Chad

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
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.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
