1970 - Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Hackensack, New Jersey, United States
For sale is a completely restored, PHS documented, number matching 1970 GTO. This car is 1 of 1900 original, Starlight Black car produced in 1970. It is also an original, Black Vinyl Top car with extremely rare, RED interior, making the color and top combination extremely rare. It has just received a two year, "Frame Off" restoration. The car was completely disassembled and painstakingly restored and reassembled. As of this writing, the car has never been shown, and only has shake-down miles since the restoration was completed. This particular GTO is 1059, and was built on the third day of production, in the Baltimore plant on Aug 17, 1969. As verified by the title and the previous owner, it has only 57k original miles. The original owner drove the car till it lost oil pressure, in 1974 and parked it. The second “physical owner”, was a friend of the original owner. He purchased the car when his friend filed for divorce, but he never titled the car in his name. When I purchased the car, it had been off the road, in dry storage for almost four decades! The car still retains the original drive train, that is completely rebuilt, including the original 9799914 block w/VIN, 12 heads, 7040263 carb, 068 intake, 1111176 distributor, 660 M20 trans w/VIN, frame, Harrison radiator, rad support, and its ORIGINAL BUILT SHEET! There are six verifiable VINs on this car, they are as follows: Drivers door tag, Dash VIN plate, (2) hidden Firewall VIN around the fan & under the heater box, on the Block, and transmission. The frame VIN is only partially visible but it is there. Options include, 400 CID, WT code engine, with a 4 speed transmission, Power Steering, Power Disk Brakes, Soft Ray Glass, Vinyl Top, bucket Seats & Console and AM radio. During the restoration process I added, Rally gauges, in-dash tachometer, HO exhaust manifolds, 3:90 12 Bolt Posi, and 15" Rally II's wheels. I have the original 3:55 10 bolt rear and will either turn it over to the buyer or re-install it if the buyer prefers. The car still retains all of its exterior sheet metal. There is only one patch in the exterior. It is smaller than a silver dollar, and it is located in the lower LHS quarter, behind the tire, and it’s completely covered by the wheel opening trim. All of the exterior chrome & stainless is in excellent condition, and most of it is also original to the car. The floor and trunk are also original, with only two minor patches, one on the drives toe area and one in the trunk, typical of vinyl top cars. Neither patch can be detected from either inside or under the car. The interior has been completely restored with “Legendary” sear covers, door panels, carpet, arm rests and headliner. The kick panels, seat backs, headrests, console, deluxe steering wheel, and rear view mirror, are original RED items, still with the car, and in great condition. The fit and finish on this car is better than factory original. The panel gaps are show quality. The doors close like a safe, and match with the fenders & the quarters perfectly. The nose alone has well over 10 man days invested to assure the best possible fit & finish! The paint is all PPG products, starting with two coats epoxy sealer, four coats base, three coats clear / wet sand, and two more coats clear! There is almost two thousand dollars in PPG products on this car. I’m selling this car to fund two other projects (70’ GTO 4 speed conv, and a 57’ Chevy conv.) The GTO convertible will be for sale in a month or so, the 57’ is a keeper, sorry! I have over 100 pictures of the car, starting when I found it in a barn through the restoration, and up till today. I started the sale with just a few pics, and will add more current pictures in a day or so. Shoot me an email if you want to see something specific. If you would like to see it in person I will make every effort to accommodate you.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
