For sale is a professionally restored 1967 GTO. I have owned this car since 1986 and am the second owner. The car has been adult owned and maintained since bought new. I have not driven the car in the last 10 years other than to get it inspected. The car was never driven in the winter since I have owned it, and only occasionally driven in the rain. I am thinning the heard, too busy with work and other responsibilities, and decided the car belongs in the hands of someone who will appreciate it as much as I do, but also enjoy driving it.

This car is a January 1976 GTO:

BODY BY FISHER

The car has OEM 5 spoke mag steel wheels with stainless steel trim rings, Hurst 4 speed Muncie A22 “rock crusher” transmission, 326CI engine, and Carter 4 barrel (quadrajet) carburetor.

The emblems note 400CI engine (which this car should have). I questioned the original owner when I bought the car asking when the engine was replaced. He claimed he never replaced the motor and that the 326CI engine was the engine in the car when he bought it new.

I had the motor rebuilt when I bought the car in 1986 at Warren’s Automotive, in Palmer, Massachusetts. This included rebuilt heads, new piston and rings, cam chain, main and rod bearings. The rebuilt motor has approximately 40,000 miles on it. The radiator was replaced with a 4-core radiator. I also have an aftermarket (Bob’s Pontiac) fan shroud that goes with the car, but I never installed. The rubber boot for the shift is also torn, and I have a new (Bob's Pontiac) rubber replacement boot that goes with the car, but also never installed.

I had the car painted in 1986 by Ricks Auto body in Springfield, MA. The entire car was stripped to bare metal, windshield and rear window removed, interior removed, front fenders grill etc., removed to eliminate masking errors and provide OEM paint finish quality. Car was checked/measured on their frame machine to confirm no prior accidents.

While at Ricks Auto body, the rear window pan was replaced and the passenger side front windshield post was repaired where the post and firewall connect. All bodywork was professionally done by Ricks Auto Body, Springfield MA.

The interior is original, black and in good to very good condition. There is a small hole in the headliner over the rear right back seat from a mouse. This spring while washing the interior, the passenger bucket seat button to relaase the seat back to let the passenger in the back got stuck. Probably will need some penetrating oil to loosen it up.

The instrument cluster has the stock tachometer and gauges. The original owner disconnected the gauges and installed an under dash SUN water, oil pressure, amp cluster. The original owner also installed a manual choke lever under the dash near the ashtray. The car is missing the windshield washer fluid reservoir. It did not have one when I purchased the car, and I never put one in, as I truly only drove it on nice days.

The overall body and paint are in very good to excellent condition. There are a few minor road rock nicks in the paint, and a few small scrapes on the right front (headlight) quarter panel and the left rear quarter panel from parking lot bozos who had to park near me…no matter how far away I parked from people.

In 1990 I had all new Moog springs and suspension components installed.

In 2000 I replaced the starter

In 2012 I had a new stainless steel exhaust system custom bent and installed, replaced the rear brake lines (Teflon brake lines), rebuilt the Carb with a Carter OEM rebuild kit.

In 2013 I replaced the power steering pump, and also replaced the alternator and power steering belts.

Not looking for tire kickers. You know that the car is worth. Serious only who appreciate a true American muscle car and will enjoy driving her for years to come.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
