1970 - Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Hackensack, New Jersey, United States

For sale is a completely restored, PHS documented, number matching 1970 GTO. This car is 1 of 1900 original, Starlight Black car produced in 1970. It is also an original, Black Vinyl Top car with extremely rare, RED interior, making the color and top combination extremely rare. It has just received a two year, "Frame Off" restoration. The car was completely disassembled and painstakingly restored and reassembled. As of this writing, the car has never been shown, and only has shake-down miles since the restoration was completed. This particular GTO is 1059, and was built on the third day of production, in the Baltimore plant on Aug 17, 1969. As verified by the title and the previous owner, it has only 57k original miles. The original owner drove the car till it lost oil pressure, in 1974 and parked it. The second “physical owner”, was a friend of the original owner. He purchased the car when his friend filed for divorce, but he never titled the car in his name. When I purchased the car, it had been off the road, in dry storage for almost four decades! The car still retains the original drive train, that is completely rebuilt, including the original 9799914 block w/VIN, 12 heads, 7040263 carb, 068 intake, 1111176 distributor, 660 M20 trans w/VIN, frame, Harrison radiator, rad support, and its ORIGINAL BUILT SHEET! There are six verifiable VINs on this car, they are as follows: Drivers door tag, Dash VIN plate, (2) hidden Firewall VIN around the fan & under the heater box, on the Block, and transmission. The frame VIN is only partially visible but it is there. Options include, 400 CID, WT code engine, with a 4 speed transmission, Power Steering, Power Disk Brakes, Soft Ray Glass, Vinyl Top, bucket Seats & Console and AM radio. During the restoration process I added, Rally gauges, in-dash tachometer, HO exhaust manifolds, 3:90 12 Bolt Posi, and 15" Rally II's wheels. I have the original 3:55 10 bolt rear and will either turn it over to the buyer or re-install it if the buyer prefers. The car still retains all of its exterior sheet metal. There is only one patch in the exterior. It is smaller than a silver dollar, and it is located in the lower LHS quarter, behind the tire, and it’s completely covered by the wheel opening trim. All of the exterior chrome & stainless is in excellent condition, and most of it is also original to the car. The floor and trunk are also original, with only two minor patches, one on the drives toe area and one in the trunk, typical of vinyl top cars. Neither patch can be detected from either inside or under the car. The interior has been completely restored with “Legendary” sear covers, door panels, carpet, arm rests and headliner. The kick panels, seat backs, headrests, console, deluxe steering wheel, and rear view mirror, are original RED items, still with the car, and in great condition. The fit and finish on this car is better than factory original. The panel gaps are show quality. The doors close like a safe, and match with the fenders & the quarters perfectly. The nose alone has well over 10 man days invested to assure the best possible fit & finish! The paint is all PPG products, starting with two coats epoxy sealer, four coats base, three coats clear / wet sand, and two more coats clear! There is almost two thousand dollars in PPG products on this car. I’m selling this car to fund two other projects (70’ GTO 4 speed conv, and a 57’ Chevy conv.) The GTO convertible will be for sale in a month or so, the 57’ is a keeper, sorry! I have over 100 pictures of the car, starting when I found it in a barn through the restoration, and up till today. I started the sale with just a few pics, and will add more current pictures in a day or so. Shoot me an email if you want to see something specific. If you would like to see it in person I will make every effort to accommodate you.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac 6000 LE Safari Wagon
Wed, May 27 2020The Detroit station wagon was fast losing sales to minivans and trucks as the decade of the 1980s progressed, but Pontiac shoppers still had plenty of choices as late as the 1988 model year. A visit to a Pontiac dealership in 1988 would have presented you with three sizes of wagon, from the little Sunbird through the midsize 6000 and up to the mighty Parisienne-based Safari. Today's Junkyard Gem is a luxed-up 6000 LE, complete with "wood" paneling, found in a car graveyard in Fargo, North Dakota. Confusingly, the "Safari" name in 1988 was used by Pontiac to designate both a specific model the wagon version of the Parisienne/Bonneville and as the traditional Pontiac designation for a station wagon. That meant that the wagon we're looking at now was a Safari but not the Safari in the 1988 Pontiac universe. The 6000 lived on the GM A-Body platform, as the Pontiac-badged version of the Chevrolet Celebrity. Production ran from the 1982 through 1991 model years, with the A-Body Buick Century surviving all the way through 1996. The LE trim level came between the base 6000 and the gloriously complex 6000 STE (which wasn't available in wagon form, sadly). I visited this yard in Fargo after judging at the Minneapolis 500 24 Hours of Lemons in Brainerd, Minnesota, last fall. Up to that point, I had visited 47 of the Lower 48 United States, with just North Dakota remaining, so I made a point of doing a Fargo detour in order to check that state off my list. I'm pleased that I found such a good example of the 1982-1996 GM A-Body in this yard, because the most famous of all the A-Bodies is the 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera driven to Brainerd by the inept Fargo-based kidnappers in the film "Fargo." This Minnesota-plated 6000 had some rust, but just negligible levels by Upper Midwestern standards on a 31-year-old car. The interior looked very good, with the original owner's manual still inside. The 6000 LE boasted "redesigned contoured seats and London/Empress fabric," which sounds pretty swanky. Something less swanky lives under the hood: an Iron Duke 2.5-liter pushrod four-cylinder engine, known as the Tech 4 by 1988. The Iron Duke was, at heart, one cylinder bank of the not-quite-renowned Pontiac 301-cubic-inch V8; while fairly rugged, the Duke ran rough (typical of large-displacement straight-four engines) and made just 98 horsepower in this application. Pontiac offered a couple of optional V6s in the 6000 in 1988, but no Quad 4.
1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car
Mon, Nov 30 2020Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video: Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
