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.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Sunfire coupe

Thu, Feb 21 2019

In a few months, we'll reach the tenth anniversary of GM's axing of the venerable Pontiac brand. G6s, Vibes, and Matizes continued to be built until 2010, but I'm noticing a marked decrease in discarded Pontiacs lately, as I perform my junkyardy rituals. Here's a 2000 Pontiac Sunfire, photographed in a Colorado wrecking yard. The Sunfire was the near-identical sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier, based on the long-running (1982-2005) J-Body platform. It was cheap and simple, looked pretty sporty (at least in coupe form), and every parts store in North America carried just about everything you'd need to keep one running. This coupe had to compete for sales not only with a vast and menacing array of imports but with GM's own Saturn SC2 (not to mention the Cavalier itself). Meanwhile, the J platform was showing its age more with each passing year. This car sports what must have been the complete line of Fatal Clothing bomber-nose-art/skate-punk/gang-tag-influenced decals, circa 2010. I actually photographed this car back in 2011, then misplaced the image files until last week. The stickers are very California-centric for a Colorado car, but then plenty of Californians — including me— move here. When you know you're a car's final owner, it's a lot easier to whip out the paint pens and redecorate the interior. Power came from the engine GM developed for the very first J-Bodies: the 2.2-liter 122 pushrod four-cylinder. 2002 was the last model year for 122-powered Sunfires and Cavaliers; the most affordable S-10/Sonoma/Hombre trucks got this engine through 2003.

It even came with a remote, so bad Midwestern farmgirls could make quick getaways when caught in the act by enraged broom-wielding mothers.

This classic Firebird restomod swallowed a Prius

Tue, Apr 19 2016

It takes an unusual eye to look at a 1967 Pontiac Firebird and see the Toyota Prius hidden inside. But that's just the kind of eye that a creative mechanic known online as "Bill the Engineer" has. Bill is updating his old Firebird into a true classic for the 21st century and has documenting the changes over at Priuschat and EcoModder. The TL,DR version of the story: he's replacing the worn-out powertrain with the gas-electric hybrid one from a Prius V, because it turns out the two vehicles have almost exactly the same wheelbase. Bill, who's from Columbus, Ohio and doesn't want his full name used, said in his posts on the conversion project that he's made many memories with this vehicle since buying it back in 1979. Since then, a few moves, a few decades, and some time in storage meant that the car would no longer function as he wanted it to. As he wrote, "when it comes to mice in the vehicles IT IS WAR." His solution is to make new memories and making a greener vehicle, and so we wanted to ask him how things have been going. Bill's been traveling a bit recently, but told AutoblogGreen that he's now figuring out the next steps for this amazing and complicated project. "I always plan things out before I do them," he said. That's the only way something like this can work. ABG: I think we have to start with what gave you the inspiration for this project. Was it simply that you had the two cars and wanted to see them merged into one cool mashup, or was it something else? "One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid... The rest is history." Bill: I have been the owner of my 1967 Firebird convertible since 1979 when I bought it for $750.00. I drove it for years and made many memories. Afterward it was in storage for many years during which time mice at their way into the car and trashed the interior and wiring. I started working on a conventional restoration but always ran into major problems with hidden corrosion, electrical issues and an engine on its last legs. The car was never going to be as nice as I wanted going the conventional route. One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid like our two daily driver Prii. That got me thinking about how it could be done. The rest is history... ABG: It looks like you started in late 2014. Have things gone well since then, or has it been one hassle after another? What has been the biggest setback, and what were the biggest victories?
