1970 Pontiac GranTurismoOmolgato "GTO" 4-speed Convertible 1970 was the pinnacle of the muscle car era! This has got to be one of the most beautiful color combinations on a muscle car ever! This is your chance to purchase one of the most highly desirable and sought after muscle cars on the planet! This GTO truly is the essence of the Widetrack Pontiac experience!! It originally was bought new according to the dealer invoice from Alabama. Apparently it had been sitting in the AutoWorks Classic Car Museum from 1995 until I made the purchase in Hollywood, Florida in 2010. The title is clean and clear in the previous owners name from Tennessee. I was told that the mileage is correct at a mere 51,000 original miles. This classic old goat has always spent its life down south, and was obviously well taken care of. The original paint was simply faded, so all the panels were removed, and meticulously painted off the car before being reinstalled. This is an original Code 75 Cardinal Red GTO with a factory 4-speed, and matching red interior verified by to the Pontiac Historical Society. It was painted with 3 coats of basecoat followed by 3 coats of one of the most expensive clear coats available to bring out the beautiful luster as seen in the pictures. All the body panels are original to the car, as well as the original floors, trunk, and frame which are all in very nice solid condition. There is one very minor patch on the passenger floor about 4"x7" in size, and that repair was done correctly to last. This paint work is as close to show quality as they come, and the body is laser straight. A fresh brand new white convertible top was recently installed with a glass back window, all new padding, and a brand new well liner. The interior has brand new exact match factory seat covers, all new side panels, brand new carpeting, and new door sills. I have to say that it is so nice to step into a 43 year old car where virtually everything around you is brand spanking new! All the seat belts are in place and fully functional. All of the rubber gaskets were replaced at the time of paint including the door gaskets, window seals, and trunk gasket. The doors open and close like when this car was brand new, and they have dual sport mirrors with the drivers side being remote controlled. The speedometer, odometer, and in-dash tachometer all work as they should. There are still a full set of four T-3 headlights and bright lights in the very nice original endure front nose. The correct 1970 tail light lenses are brand new, so they really light up nicely. The engine compartment was detailed to look like this car came straight from the factory. The original dual snorkel air cleaner has a new chrome lid to really brighten up this Big Block! The dual exhaust is in good condition with new dual chrome exhaust tips. This engine is powered by an AC Delco battery with new terminal ends. I tried to replace all of the original factory decals that appeared when this car rolled from the factory to the showroom for delivery back in 1970. According to the previous owner there is a distinct possibility this car has all of its original components from top to bottom other than the items I've replaced. That knowledge is considered third party information. Nevertheless, I'm sure the new owner will be very happy to show or drive this car anywhere with pride. All of the chrome is in good drivers quality condition to excellent condition. This original red on red GTO is perfect for the guy or girl who had one in high school and would like to revisit the past, or for someone who simply wants to drive around to enjoy steering their investment while their money grows. It's a wonderful car to take to your local drive-in movie theater or cruise night, It's also a great car to take to your high school re-union to remind your classmates how cool you really are. New spark plugs, a new oil filter, and a fresh oil change were done to prepare this car for sale. The alternator and power steering belts were also replaced. This super rare goat has factory air conditioning including all the components you see to make it work. The compressor spins freely, although I never put an A/C belt on, and I'm sure it is still on the R-12 system. Making the air conditioning work will be left up to the winning bidder if they so desire. It is just nice to have that option available. The original options include power steering, power brakes, in dash tachometer, power convertible top, bucket seats, and the factory 4-speed with the console. This classic GTO is steered by the deluxe sport wheel. It rides on a set of four Firestone raised white lettered P225 70R/14" steel belted radial tires. They are mounted on a set of four detailed original 14" inch Pontiac Rallye wheels with all four original black PMD center caps, and all new correct Pontiac chrome lug nuts with the black insert. The original AM radio is long gone. Currently there is an AM/FM Cassette player in that spot, but is not hooked up, so the sound system will be left to the choice of the winning bidder. There were no speaker holes cut anywhere in this new interior. I know that is very important to Pontiac enthusiasts. The very nice original trunk floor was coated with factory AC Delco black and aqua spatter spray, and then clear coated to seal the spatter spray. A new trunk floor mat was added under the nicely restored jack and crow bar. A full size Rallye wheel with a matching Firestone raised white lettered spare tire comes inside the trunk just in case there is a mishap on the road. With a quick tire change you can be back on your way looking complete in minutes. Everywhere this goat is driven people are attracted to it like a magnet. You have to be prepared to be the spectacle of the neighborhood, because everyone will know who's coming. These cars are becoming harder and harder to come across. The southern climate always kept these cars in much better condition than your average 43 year old car. A great deal of time, money, and effort went into making the car that is listed in this description. What you see is exactly what you get. Plain and simple!! Take advantage of this chance to finally own your dream car. This is an investment that has shown to consistently appreciate in value with each quarter. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide has the current values that anyone can check on-line for a genuine 242 code 1970 Pontiac GTO 4-speed convertible with the options listed on this car priced at $96,960 in the highest condition, $61,440 in average condition, and $20,320 in the lowest condition. I believe that anyone who sees this extremely rare GTO would have to agree that this car is in much better than average condition. This is a prime opportunity to own a piece of muscle car history at a reasonable price. I tried to describe all of the pertinent information, so any potential bidder can make the most informed decision possible before placing their bid. If anyone feels there may be something that was missed in the description, please ask as many questions as you like or call Ian at 773/551-5075. If you don't ask, you won't know!

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Porsche Boxster Spyder to get GT3's 4.0-liter flat six?
Sun, Feb 4 2018It's been a merry-go-round the past few months, the rumormill focused on what will power the next Porsche Boxster Spyder. First came hearsay of a flat-six going into the special edition of a model line known for its turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Then came tattling that the flat-six in question was the naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter from the 911 GT3. A couple of weeks ago we wrote " we'd be surprised if Porsche packed anything other than a turbocharged flat-four under the skin." But Autocar has a new report that, indeed, a downtuned version of the 500-horsepower 4.0-liter from the GT3's rump will move to the Boxster Spyder's midsection. The Autocar piece follows a Wheels magazine article from last November, and the prediction isn't outrageous. When Car and Driver reviewed the last Boxster Spyder, it wrote, "the hand-me-down six comes from the older 911 Carrera S, not to be confused with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six that powers the refreshed 911." If we can believe a recent report from Automobile about the 992-series 911 due later this year, the same thing is happening: The 991.2-series GT3 bequeaths its powerplant to the smaller sibling, and the 992-series GT3 moves to a 3.8-liter, twin-turbo flat-six with around 550 hp. Autocar quotes Andreas Preuninger, the Porsche engineer leading the development of all of these wunderkinds, saying of the Boxster earlier this year, "Natural aspiration is one of our main USPs. ... [We] think we can achieve throttle response and immediacy a little bit better with an atmospheric high-revving engine than any kind of turbo." We'll guess that means, by inference, that the GT3 is about to age out of naturally-aspirated university. The limited-edition Boxster Spyder might carry the torch with the 4.0-liter, with output somewhere around 430 hp. The Cayman GT4 could do the same. Or, who knows, an evolution of the 375-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six in the previous Boxster Spyder might burble out of left field. We expect to see the Boxster Spyder late this year. Until then, we'll wait to see what the merry-go-round says next time the Zuffenhausen horse comes around.

Pontiac and McLaren once hooked up, and it was rad
Fri, Jun 24 2022Most of us would bend over backwards to have a chance to own a McLaren car, but few can afford such extravagance. That said, there’s a way you can get behind the wheel of a legitimate McLaren without breaking the bank. For 1989 and 1990, the Pontiac Grand Prix was offered in a limited-edition ASC-McLaren variant that featured tuning and updates from the iconic British automaker. Examples of this rare coupe rarely surface for sale, so itÂ’s surprising to see this low-mile 1990 Pontiac Grand Prix ASC-McLaren on eBay. The car is the result of a partnership between American Specialty Cars-McLaren (ASC-McLaren) and Pontiac. WeÂ’re not talking about the McLaren Formula 1 team or even the iconic McLaren road cars here. The McLaren connection comes from an arm of the automakerÂ’s powertrain engineering department. The Grand PrixÂ’s standard 3,1-liter V6 got a massage and a turbocharger, adding 65 horsepower for a total of 205 ponies and 225 pound-feet of torque. A four-speed automatic transmission sends power to the front wheels. That output is modest by todayÂ’s standards, and it wasnÂ’t outrageous even by 1990 standards, but the car returned a decent 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds. The $5,000 ASC-McLaren package added a load of cool 1980s tech to the Grand PrixÂ’s interior, some of which is surprisingly advanced for the time. The car got a head-up display and a digital display on the dash. The steering wheel should be delightfully familiar to anyone who remembers a top-end Pontiac of the era, with the entire center of the wheel filled with buttons instead of the airbags we see today. The car had insanely padded bucket seats front and rear(!) with a distinctive pear shape. Many sources peg production numbers between 2,500 and 3,500 units, so the car is relatively rare compared to its mass-produced Pontiac counterparts. This oneÂ’s got just 17,746 miles on the clock, too, and appears to be in excellent condition. ItÂ’s had just two owners and no reported accidents. The seller notes a little surface rust from the car being in storage so long. This era of GM cars tended to deteriorate quickly, so a bit of surface rust shouldnÂ’t be a huge issue.
