1970 GTO Judge Convertible
This 1970 GTO “Judge” Convertible is one of only 168 Judge Convertibles built in 1970. The car has the
original 100% numbers matching Ram Air III engine that it was born with and has been carefully restored to “as
new” condition. If you’ve been searching for a no excuse 1970 Judge Convertible, with the original engine,
this is your chance to get a top-notch GTO that will bring home a trophy at the next GTOAA or Pontiac Nationals.
This car started life in New York and was originally shipped to Piehler Pontiac, in Rochester, New York and was
carefully pampered and very well cared for by the first owner.
When the current owner purchased this car, a decision was made to do a full frame-off restoration to give the car a
“fresh” look. The car was completely disassembled and stripped to bare metal. The frame was removed and the
entire drivetrain was rebuilt. The body of this vehicle was gone over from front to back and the body fit is laser
straight and better than new. Once the body was prepared, it was given a fresh coat of the correct Palisade Green
(code 45), using the best modern DuPont base coat clear-coat paint. The frame was also stripped and all chassis
components were replaced and refinished in the correct original factory finishes.
While the engine was out of the car, it was sent out and completely rebuilt. The original 400 Ram Air III engine
(YZ) block was honed and new pistons, rings and bearings installed. The crank was checked and lightly refinished.
The original Ram Air cylinder heads were checked and given a valve job, along with new valves and valve springs.
Everything was reassembled and the entire engine assembly was given a coat of the correct Pontiac silver-blue
engine paint.
No stone was left unturned and the interior was completely redone with nothing but the best of correct materials.
All instruments and gauges were checked for operation and repaired or replaced, if necessary. All wire harnesses
were replaced with new. The restoration on this GTO is 100% “factory correct”, right down to the original
style Firestone tires.
This is a top notch car that is worthy of going to a good home! It will make a “star” addition to any car
collection.

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.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
