1970 Pontiac GTO convertible, 400ci/400 turbo auto., PHS documented,New Jersey car.  Cardinal Red, White int.& power top that goes up and down nicely,  power disc brakes, 3.55 limited slip rear, hood tach, Am radio,

I was told that this GTO is #s matching from the previous owner.  I bought it to drive it so I've never bothered with checking.  The block is cast #YS467758, #13 heads,  trans 70-PY-17498, rear 9799100.  If that helps anyone out there.

Older restoration done around 2000 new quarters and trunk floor professionally installed.  Very presentable Cardinal Red paint job.  The paint shines well with very minor dings here and there. They may be able to be wet sanded out I haven't tried. The nose shows some minor flex cracks that these enduro noses get and there are a few eraser sized rust bubbles on the hood.  All in all the car looks good only on close scrutiny would anyone notice the flaws.  Although its not necessary, a repaint of the hood and nose would improve its presentation.

The engine was redone to factory specs at the time of restoration.  I haven't got many details on the engine build other than  350 Hp YS specs.  I will tell you that it runs and sounds quite healthy.  The odometer reads 49K  and I would bet that when restored the clock was reset.   So I am guessing that the motor has 49K on it.   I have personally put 15K on it in the last 4 years.  Just the other day I took it on a 3 hour loop to Summit Racing and will say its a nice ride. 

The white interior is in very good condition. As is the white top.   All the gauges work as they should.  The suspension and steering are tight.  Brakes responsive.  The exhaust note not too loud to cruise in but loud enough to let yourself be heard.  All the lights work, even the trunk lamp! 

In the last year I have repaced the front wheel bearings, new exhaust, starter, and have purchased new stainless pinch weld molding(yet to be installed).

This is a great crusing drop top GTO.  I've taken many 2-3 hour drives in this car with no troubles at all.  This car gets driven regularly and without hesitation.  Starts and runs readily each time. Has one small oil leak that will be rectified at this springs oil change ( oil filter housing needs a new gasket).  The horn, radio, and clock do not work but other than that this car is ready to roll.   

I am not selling out of necessity.  Just dreaming of a resto-mod drop top 5 speed that I want to build.  Although this is a really nice car, its not "My" car.   I have no doubts the next owner will get many enjoyable hours in this one.  For me its on to the next one. 

This is no show car it is a very nice driver condition classic.  As such expect to find minor flaws here and there it is not perfect and the price reflects that.   

I encourage anyone interested to come and see it for yourself.  It surely wont disappoint.  I am 20 minutes from the Pittsburgh airport.  If you have any questions call Chad 724-312-2529.

Thanks, Chad

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Motorweek looks back at the Pontiac Aztek

Thu, Jul 9 2015

The Pontiac Aztek has earned a position as this generation's ultimate, automotive punchline. Even other execrable models like the Yugo or Mustang II probably get more respect these days just out of their sheer quirkiness, but the Aztek remains a joke. Fortify your mind for what's coming, though, because the much-maligned Pontiac might not be quite so atrocious, at least according to MotorWeek's latest Retro Review video. MotorWeek calls the Aztek, "GM's first true crossover vehicle," and it's amazing to think of the hated model as a progenitor of one of the most popular segments today. While admitting that the looks are polarizing, John Davis and company actually come away pleased with the Aztek's utility. They praise that there's a ton of room in the back, and the interior is packed with useful features like a removable cooler in the center console and radio controls in a cargo area. The show is even impressed with how the Pontiac drives and throws around accolades like "nimble" and "pleasant." After seeing the Aztek leading the pack on lists of the worst vehicles of all time for years, listening to it get such effusive praise is actually quite jarring. Could we all be so wrong? No, there's absolutely no debate that this is still a hideous automobile. However, MotorWeek asserts a complete reversal of the generally perceived wisdom about the early CUV. While unexpected, thinking about such an abhorred model in a different way is a cool experience. Check out the video for a different take on the Aztek.
