1969 Pontiac Gto Convertible on 2040-cars
South Pasadena, California, United States
|
For sale is my 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible. I am the documented third owner of this low mile GTO convertible and the car has spent its entire life in the dry climates of Arizona, Nevada and California. The prior owner I purchased the car from owned it since 1973. He worked in Saudi Arabia for most of his career and so the car was not driven often. The car was recommissioned by the former owner before I purchased it, but I have since had it completely serviced and driven it often. The body and paint is in nice presentable condition and I get a lot of thumbs ups, however, if I could keep it I would repaint it and repair the minor dings and dents. Right now it is a "10 footer" as they say meaning it looks great from that distance. It was repainted some 8 years ago in what looks like a less expensive single stage yellow. The car is originally Mayfair Maize (yellow) which is a more pale version of what is on the car. This color is the late model GTO yellow which is more like a Corvette yellow. The interior is original and 45 years old so its aged but I like it that way. It has a power top where the motor and top has been replaced. Roll up windows, right rear needs a little work or a new track. The engine is amazing and I would (and have) driven this car anywhere. Recently in the heat it went up to about 210 degrees and held in LA traffic. I had a local shop rework the engine and tune things up and the car starts on the first try and choke on the rebuilt original Quadrajet is perfect. It's a beast. As for what it needs- I would do the front bushings and suspension as my next project. (probably lower it too). (-: It has brand new tires and wheels on it (15x7 Pontiac mags). This is a really nice low mile driver that with just a few things could go back to all original or be upgraded/restomod to your customized cruiser. I am only selling this because I have some financial obligations to meet and am very hesitant given the amount of money I have put into this nice car. The buy it now is LESS than what I have paid for it and that does not include all the repairs and upgrades. This is a great low mile collector car, and a dry west coast rust free GTO. Good luck! |

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According 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.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
