Up for bid is a Real rare (1 of 534 out of 9k total gto's in 71) 242 1971 GTO has been off road for 20 years, car is very complete but in need of a full restoration, I will be very descriptive, but please ask any and all questions or come see the car before you bid! Drivetrain looks to be original, car starts, and moves on it's own but NOT driveable in its current state. PHS docs verify the following options...455/325hp, TH400 trans, 12 bolt rear 3:07 open (gears not verified), factory A/C, power disc brakes, power steering, rally gauge cluster, power windows, tinted glass, rally 2 wheels, buckets and console, and AM radio. It also has rear sway bar and boxed trailing arms, and is in it's original color scheme.

Mechanical... TO THE BEST of my knowledge the engine, trans, and rear are original to the car, BUT I am not the Pontiac guru so you be the judge. The block is a YC code (see pic) that verifies it to be a 455, the casting number is 485428, which is also 455, but I havent located the casting date. The heads are #66, which are 71 only, and are dated H 27 0, and H26 0, intake is 481733, carb is a rochester replacement for this ap. I put a Holley on it with a gas can just to show you it runs, it starts and idles, has some chatter, I would rebuild it if I restored the car. The trans goes into forward and reverse. Most of the A/C items are in place. Car has headers and full exhaust in good shape. Engine is orange for some reason, clean inside, and looks to be original breather also included.

Body...needs floor pans, and trunk pan, frame is solid and no past repairs, rear crosspart, looks to have been tugged on but should be fixable or changeable. There is rust/rot around front and rear windows, hood may or may not be repairable, core support decent, doors, fenders and 1/4's can be repaired or replaced depending on your level of resto. Doors open and shut nice.

Car was delivered to City Motors Sales Co in Passaic, NJ and looks to have spent most it's life there. AGAIN this car needs a FULL resto and may be too much work for a rookie. Please be serious if you bid, bidders with less than 10 good feedbacks contact me before you bid or be cancelled. Title is clear and car is sold AS IS Where is. Mileage shows 48,xxx, may not be original.

Total payment due in 5 days, car to be picked up within 10 days unless other arrangements are made. $300 deposit by paypal in 48 hrs, prefer cash balance at pickup. Car and title not released until paid in full and funds are clear. Low Reserve, no buy it now, but open to offers, auction may end at anytime.

On May-29-14 at 10:07:23 PDT, seller added the following information:

Code on rear end is WT K 252.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.

Florida man runs down bikers in traffic

Tue, May 31 2016

A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
