Just email me at: diedreokino@netzero.net . This beautiful GTO has been frame off, rotisserie restored with the highest attention to detail. Everything about
this car says "here I am". The car is PHS document certified and included. It is also an original HO 4 speed
documented GTO,1 of which only 6,187 were made out of the 77,000. The car has aprox. 2600 miles on it since the
restoration was completed, mostly to shows and has never seen a day of bad weather. Restoration included a
completely rebuilt XH code ,370HP engine built to ram air specs with a performance cam that gives the car a
wonderful, sweet sounding rumble at idle, as well as aluminum roller rockers with # 13 heads. An original ram air
carb, and a Pextronics ignition distributor with date coded ignition wires. The power then goes to a 4- speed
Borg-Warner Super T10 transmission and ends at the 4 pinion posi 3.55 rear end. This car not only runs well, it
handles even better. It actually rides and handles better than some newer cars, with an unmatched power and sound
to go with it. The dual Flow Master exhaust sounds deep and throaty and looks just as good with original 1968 GTO
chrome exhaust tips. Its riding on BF Goodrich tires mounted on Crager SS rims. The front tires are 70 series with
an attention grabbing 60 series tire on the rear. Rear shocks are genuine GM after market air shocks to provide the
extra height and smooth ride. This car comes with all the attention getting details a show car deserves. Rear air
spoiler, show quality chrome trim, front air scoops with a working hood tach. Black leather bucket seats up front
with a show quality leather console in between. The car has been fitted with a Digital REV limiter and is mounted
in the glove box. A fuel warning light has also been added during restoration. Tilt wheel steering and an AM/FM CD
player round out the interior comfort features.
This car looks as good underneath as it does above. The under carriage and pan has been painted carousel red to
match and the frame has been painted a gloss black. The under carriage is also all factory tag coded and show ready
as the photos show. Its best described as a trailer queen both upper and lower. Too many items to list here, Glass,
trim, entire front end, bushings, control arms, weather stripping, and much,much more. This is undoubtedly one of
the cleanest and nicest cars you will come across.
Car is being sold as is with no implied or expressed warranty. Car is also being sold locally and we reserve the
right to terminate auction at any time due to sale.
I will do my best to answer any and all questions.
Thanks, and good luck.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.

Pontiac and McLaren once hooked up, and it was rad

Fri, Jun 24 2022

Most of us would bend over backwards to have a chance to own a McLaren car, but few can afford such extravagance. That said, there’s a way you can get behind the wheel of a legitimate McLaren without breaking the bank. For 1989 and 1990, the Pontiac Grand Prix was offered in a limited-edition ASC-McLaren variant that featured tuning and updates from the iconic British automaker. Examples of this rare coupe rarely surface for sale, so itÂ’s surprising to see this low-mile 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix ASC-McLaren on eBay. The car is the result of a partnership between American Specialty Cars-McLaren (ASC-McLaren) and Pontiac. WeÂ’re not talking about the McLaren Formula 1 team or even the iconic McLaren road cars here. The McLaren connection comes from an arm of the automakerÂ’s powertrain engineering department. The Grand PrixÂ’s standard 3,1-liter V6 got a massage and a turbocharger, adding 65 horsepower for a total of 205 ponies and 225 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels. That output is modest by todayÂ’s standards, and it wasnÂ’t outrageous even by 1990 standards, but the car returned a decent 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds. The $5,000 ASC-McLaren package added a load of cool 1980s tech to the Grand PrixÂ’s interior, some of which is surprisingly advanced for the time. The car got a head-up display and a digital display on the dash. The steering wheel should be delightfully familiar to anyone who remembers a top-end Pontiac of the era, with the entire center of the wheel filled with buttons instead of the airbags we see today. The car had insanely padded bucket seats front and rear(!) with a distinctive pear shape.  Many sources peg production numbers between 2,500 and 3,500 units, so the car is relatively rare compared to its mass-produced Pontiac counterparts. This oneÂ’s got just 17,746 miles on the clock, too, and appears to be in excellent condition. ItÂ’s had just two owners and no reported accidents. The seller notes a little surface rust from the car being in storage so long. This era of GM cars tended to deteriorate quickly, so a bit of surface rust shouldnÂ’t be a huge issue.

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
