I BOUGHT THIS BEAUTIFUL GTO ONE YEAR AGO.  I AM THE THIRD PROUD OWNER.  I PUT LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON IT.  I HAD IT JUST LONG ENOUGH TO BRING IT UP TO THE BEAUTIFUL LOOKING AND RUNNING CONDITION IT'S IN TODAY. AND JUST LONG ENOUGH TO LOSE MY JOB.  MY PAIN WILL BE YOUR GAIN.  I INSTALLED  NEW A/C ($2400), TOTALLY REPAINTED IT ORIGINAL MONTERO RED ($5000).  UPDATED THE RADIO ($500).  NEW RADIATOR, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY, POWER STEERING PUMP ($875).  ALL THREE TRI-POWER CARBS REBUILT ($850).  BRAND NEW OEM FRONT BUMPER AND NEW OLD STOCK OEM HEADLIGHT BUCKETS ($1500) AND NEW GRILLES REALLY MAKE THE FRONT POP.  THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD THIS WONDERFUL GTO FOR 17 YEARS GARAGED IN FLORIDA.  SHE SPENT THE FIRST 28 YEARS IN A VIRGINIA GARAGE WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER.                  

 

SELDOM DO WE FIND A MID-60’S MUSCLE CAR WITH THIS MUCH CURB APPEAL.

THE BODY OF THIS GTO CONVERTIBLE IS EXTREMELY STRAIGHT WITH NO SIGNS OF REPAIR OR BONDO, THE BODY PANELS ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR, THE LINES ARE GREAT. ALL THE CHROME MOLDINGS ARE ORIGINAL AND IN EXCELLENT SHAPE.  THE VENT WINDOW CHROME IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.   THE WHITE CONVERTIBLE TOP IS NEW.  THE PREVIOUS OWNER JUST HAD THE TOP FRAME PAINTED, NEW LINES, ALL RUBBER SEALS AND THE WHITE TOP INSTALLED ONE YEAR AGO FOR THE TIDY SUM OF $1600.00. THIS KILLER GTO SITS ON RALLY 1 WHEELS WITH NEW RAISED WHITE LETTER GOODYEAR RADIAL TIRES WITH LESS THAN 200 MILES ON THEM.

 

THIS GTO WAS BORN WITH A RED BUCKET SEAT INTERIOR, THE BUCKET SEATS AND DOOR PANELS ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. THE RED CARPET WAS CHANGED A FEW YEARS AGO. THE CONSOLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. NOTICE THE CORRECT 4-SPEED SHIFTER? THE WOOD GRAIN DASH IS NEW/RESTORED. THE ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL IS BEAUTIFUL WITH NO CRACKS.   CHECK OUT THE FACTORY TACH AND RALLY GAUGES? THE PADDED DASH IS PERFECT. EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD. INSIDE THE DOOR JAMBS ARE VERY CLEAN. THE ORIGINAL A.M. RADIO HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO A MODERN, AM/FM STEREO RADIO, WITH AUXILARY JACK, BUT YOU'D NEVER KNOW BY LOOKING, BECAUSE THE APPEARANCE AND OPERATION OF THE CONTROLS IS STILL THE SAME AS WHEN THE RADIO WAS INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. THERE IS A SEAM THAT OPENED UP ON THE DRIVERS SEAT. OTHER THAN THAT THE INTERIOR IS BEAUTIFUL.

 

UNDER THE HOOD YOU CAN SEE THE IMPRESSIVE TRI-POWER BIG BLOCK. THE MOTOR IS A 1969 455 CI YC CODE. THE TRI-POWER SETUP IS ORIGINAL TO THE CAR. ALSO THERE IS CORRECT EXHAUST MANIFOLDS INSTALLED. THE ENGINE AND BAY IS CLEAN AND RECENTLY PAINTED, AND COULD BE BROUGHT UP TO SHOW STANDARDS WITH MINIMAL EFFORT.  THE 455 RUNS AWESOME AND COOL.  THE FIRE WALL IS CLEAN AND UNCUT, THE POWER DISC BRAKE BOOSTER IS PLATED CORRECTLY.

LOOKING UNDERNEATH THIS GTO MAKES YOU UNDERSTAND REAL QUICK “THIS CAR IS CLEAN”. YOU CAN EAT OFF THE FLOORS OF THIS CAR. THE FRAME IS NICE AND CLEAN AS WELL. THE QUARTERS ARE ORIGINAL TO THIS GTO AND THE DROP OFFS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. IN THE VERY CLEAN ORIGINAL TRUNK YOU WILL FIND THE SPARE TIRE ON A FACTORY RALLY 1 WHEEL, CORRECT DECALS ARE ON THE DECK LID. THE PRISTINE TRUNK MAT IS IN PLACE AS WELL.

 

I’M SURE I FORGOT SOMETHING, SO ASK QUESTIONS.  THIS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING GTO CONVERTIBLE WOULD MAKE A WONDERFUL ADDITION TO YOUR CLASSIC CAR COLLECTION. THIS CAR WOULD MAKE ANYONES GARAGE LOOK GOOD… THE ORIGINAL MILES ON THE ODOMETER SHOW 53,847, THE TITLE STATES ACTUAL MILEAGE.  TODAY, I TOOK THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE FALL, DROVE IT, WASHED IT, AND ENJOYED IT, KNOWING IT MAY BE THE LAST TIME I DRIVE IT.   BUT,  WHAT A HEAD TURNER IT IS…. PEOPLE STOPPED ME AT THE CAR WASH, GAS STATION, SUPER MARKET, AND IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD.  IT GOES DOWN THE ROAD MINT AND PERFORMS FLAWLESLY… ALSO IT RUNS COOL AS A CUCUMBER.. JUST A FUN CAR TO DRIVE…

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

This junkyard '91 Grand Am is as hooptie as it gets

Wed, Jun 29 2016

I spend a lot of time in junkyards. A lot of time. With all this experience, I have learned to recognize a perfect hooptie when I see one, a car whose final owner got every last bit of use out of it when its value was hovering right about at scrap value. This 1991 Pontiac Grand Am that I spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard a few days ago, from the final model year for the third-generation Grand Am, checks all the hooptie boxes just right. First of all, it's a low-option coupe with the wretched and unloved GM Iron Duke engine, a rattly, gnashy, thrashy 2.5-liter four-cylinder kludged together using off-the-shelf parts from the Pontiac 301-cubic-inch V8 during the darkest years of the Malaise Era and used in cars whose buyers just didn't care. Most of the paint has been burned off by 25 years of harsh California sun, but the car spent sufficient time in a damp, shady spot for lichens to build up here and there. There are skeletons-with-sombreros stencils sprayed here and there, plus a big moonshine-guzzling skeleton mural painted on the hood. Goodbye, property values! Still, someone felt some affection for this car, giving it the name "Good Ol' Snakey" and painting that name on the decklid. We can assume that the Iron Duke was a bit loose by this time, probably leaving a serpentine trail of blue smoke behind the car at all times. So, the combination of cheapness, ugliness, menace, and who-gives-a-damn functionality make this Grand Am an excellent example of a pure hooptie. Within a couple of months, it will be crushed, shredded, shipped out of the Port of Oakland, and reborn in China as refrigerators and Geely Emgrands. Somewhere in Northern California, though, a few of Ol' Smokey's friends will remember this car fondly.

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.
