1973 Pontiac Gto Base Hardtop 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
Gibbon, Nebraska, United States
|
Less then 4900 of the 73 GTOs were built, it is my understanding only about 500 are registered, they are rare. This was a frame off rebuild starting in 2004 and was taken to its first car show in fall of 2005, the rebuild was not done by proffessionals. The engine is a 69 pontiac 400, with 70 pontiac ram air III heads, intake, and exhaust headers, it has the stock 335 hp cam in it. Valves, springs, roller tip rockers, pistons, oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, timing chain and gears, and rebalanced rods were all new and engine was rebuilt by local machine shop, it has a guadra jet 4 barrel with HEI ignition. The transmission is out of a 69 GTO and was rebuilt by a local transmission shop, it has a full size car torque converter so it shifts very smoothly, no shift kit was installed, rear end is a 323 positrac. Suspension from front to back was new, including body mounts, brakes were new from front to back, front brakes are disc, rear are drum. It has dual exhausts and done by a local muffler shop, straight pipes were used for exhaust pipes and don't look real good, tail pipe extensions are exact to car, it does sound pretty awesome without being loud. It has bucket seats with console, tilt steering, am-fm stereo radio, cruise control, air conditioning (not working), ralley gauges with tach and clock. Interior is very nice except for a couple cracks in dash. All door, window, seals were new so is quite when driving. Exterior painted in 2005, 1974 pontiac goldenrod yellow, base paint with clear coat, black vinyl top looks real good except for a couple small cracks by back window. This GTO draws a lot of attention at car shows, and has received numerous plaques and trophies in its class, one peoples choice award. There are far to many NOS parts that went into the rebuild to list, but I'm sure many don't exist today. The car has been driven about 3000 miles since the rebuild and still showes very well.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
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.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
