This is a 1974 Pontiac GTO (Ventura) hatchback in very good condition for its age but does need restoration. This was the last year of the GTO until 2004 and was the only year that is was based on the Ventura which is basicly a Nova. This car was sold in Pasedena california and lived its whole life in California. There is almost NO rust on this car which is unheard of. I have had many of these cars and have never seen one that is in this good of shape when it comes to rust. I have pictures of the rust, they are two small places in the trunk part of the hatchback that are about the size of a quarter in each place, a small quarter size hole at the bottom of the drivers side quarter panel, and some small holes in the lower part of the hatch back. There is a picture of the right quater panel that shows some bondo but it is not covering up rust, there is a dent that someone did a terrible job of fixing. Instead of pulling the dent out, they filled it with bondo. (they did that alot back then). In the pictures of the under neath there is something that is peeling off that might look like rust in the pictures but it is not. I think it is some kind of rust proofing they used back then. When it peels off the metal underneath, it looks like the day the car was made with the black e coat under it. There is surface rust in the trunk area as well, but it is just that, surface rust, no holes. There are dents in various places, one in the front left fender at the bottom which is decent size and several other small ones. The window mouldings are missing from the pictures but ARE included. The engine is not original and acording to the numbers on the block is a 400 that runs good. It has a holley carb instead of the original quadrajet. It has a carb adapter which raises the carb and puts the shacker scoop a little too high so I would either replace the intake or go back with a quadrajet. The engine has a small cam which you can hear a little thump in the exhaust. The transmission shifts and the car goes down the road but please dont ask me if you can drive it home. It has non power drum brakes and stops good. It has the tach and the gauge package on the console, the G80 the safe t track posi traction rear end and several other special options. Every guage and tach works which I couldent believe. they never work. the shacker scoop has a peice missing from it but I am including a good one with the car. I have the PHS paperwork that shows its a real GTO and all the options. You will NOT find a 74 GTO with a body in better shape than this car. I bought it to restore as this is the same kind of car that I had in high school but I will never get around to it. I hate to see it go and but I do not have to sell it so please dont make offers. If you want one of these cars you better buy it, you will not find a better one. Thanks for looking. It may take me a little while to answer questions because I get busy a work and can only check messages late at night. A NON refundable $500.00 deposite is due within 48 hours of end of auction with the rest within 7 days. I can store the car for a couple of weeks if needed. I have may cars shipped with auto transports I found on a serch and it is amazingly simple.

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. Â— Consumer Editor Jeremy KorzeniewskiÂ Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine 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.
