I recently bought this car to restore. Recent changes in finances has taken this dream away. The reason I purchased this was because of the lack of rust. I looked at quite a few Grand Am vehicles and none came close to this on as far as the condition of the body is concerned. The inside of the doors & door seams look like new as does the inside of the rear quarters and front fenders. The quarters and front fenders look very good from the outside also. Very minimal surface rust on right rear quarter. The trunk floor is rock solid with very little surface rust inside. The hood and front fenders are near perfect. The front and back bumpers are very solid with minimal surface rust. The only disappointment is the rear lip area of the trunk. I am not sure why it rusted there but as you can see from the pics, it will need some work. The inside of the trunk lid is solid. The floor is solid except for rust from the inside on front drivers and passengers pans. The underside of the pans are great. They are somewhat solid but should be replaced.This car was rust-proofed when new. The rest of the inside of the car is virtually rust free. The seats have been re-upholstered but it looks like they were dome very inexpensively. I think they just sewed new material onto the existing front. They should be re-done correctly. The door panels are not correct, They are tan and have been dyed. Not a good job at all but can be re-done correctly. The lower portion of the door panels are not correct. Thus car has power windows and the panels are for manual windows. The lower panels are pretty easy to find. The headliner is good except in the front where it came off the taping that holds it in place. I think it can be re-taped. Both power windows work. The drivers window is loose in the track but does function. The carpet is like new. As far as I can tell all electrical works fine I know very little about the engine and driveline. I confirmed that it is matching # engine 400 2BBL. It did start right up cold at 10 degrees when I took it off the trailer. I drove it 1 block to my garage and have not started it again. It does have an exhaust leak on the passenger side manifold. The previous owner decided he wanted headers on the car and attempted to take off the manifold without using heat. He busted three of the bolts before giving up. I can feel the bolt ends so they should come off with heat when the manifold is taken off. I changed the oil and antifreeze and will drain the old gas next and add new non corn gas before starting it up again. there is some surface rust in the engine compartment but not too bad. It is where the original rustproofing on the fender wells let go.The air conditioning compressor is gone. Other than that it all looks stock. The nose piece is fiberglass (not the original Rubber) and needs some fiberglass repair. The front grills are missing and the hood cable is broken. The Wheels are original and look good. Two of the center caps are missing, the trim rings are nice and the tires are new. The spare is original and the jack is included. That is about all I can tell you as I have not had a chance to drive this and living in ice cold WI says I probably will not any time soon. I think this car could go to paint without hardly any body work needed. The interior, engine compartment and trunk areas would be very easy to make nice too. $500.00 non refundable deposit to be paid via paypal within 48 Hours of end of auction. The rest to be cash and the car to be picked up within 14 days after end of auction. I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold locally. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy it. No guarantees come with this car. It is going on 39 years old and will need some work. Please email or call with questions. I will do my best to answer them.

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases
Wed, Nov 20 2019NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch
Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
