1970 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Pendergrass, Georgia, United States
|
1970 Pontiac GTO, California Survivor, numbers matching. Original 400 with 350 horse power. Original owners manual and California Pink Slip included. Factory 10 bolt rear end. Car has factory air, power steering, power brakes, automatic, am radio. I put on a period correct Rochester carb. The factory original carb is in a box in the trunk, which is included in the sale to the future owner. Engine bay is very well maintained and looks great. Car drives well and has plenty of power. Tires are full of tread and wheels are in beautiful condition. The Enduro bumper is in excellent condition. Interior is fresh, clean, no tears, rips. Front and back seats have all original factory seat belts in car. Front seats have two factory belt buckles, one for the shoulder strap and one for the lap belt. Headliner is in very good condition with no rips or tears. Trunk is in excellent shape with no rust issues and includes the factory bumper jack and the original small tire which has never been used. Inside of the trunk looks great! Interior and exterior are in very good condition for a 44 year old car. The car has factory glass throughout, original T3 headlights, factory paint still in door jams, trunk and inside engine bay. Somewhere along the way the master cylinder was replaced. Undercarriage is solid and in good condition. Car had one light re-spray years prior to me purchasing it. This is as rust free as you will find. When I purchased the car in 08, I was told that the car has some lead bleeding through the right and left seams where the quarter panels join the roof. It can be seen. I will include a picture. It has NOT gotten worse since 2008. Also, this car has the original metal dealer drive out tag. Roc Cutri was the GMC dealer where the car was purchased in 1970. Roc Cutri GMC has long since closed, but you can still see their dealership history on the internet. The downside to this car is the dash. California heat split the top left in two places and one place almost in the middle. I will include pictures of the cracks. I intended to send the dash out to be restored, but it never took top priority. I had to leave something left to do. What fun are they, if there's nothing left to work on? That's my opinion. I keep it in a dehumidified garage. The collector before me also kept this car in a dehumidified garage. It is one of a few original survivors. Some like a restored car, but this car hasn't been restored. This car is like it came off the lot. You can restore cars as many times as you want, but they're only original once. This car is for the person that still wants an original and they want to do a few minor things for a hobby, while enjoying a beautiful, stock 70 California, GTO. I have the original California Pink slip for this car which will be included in the sale. Also, this is a rare 1970 California emission equipped car with the original California emissions canister. Based on one Pontiac guru, this canister is a rare piece and not reproduced. He said the first thing people did when they bought a California GTO with the canister was to trash it. Now they're extremely expensive and hard to find for a 1970 California GTO, which he said makes for a more rare GTO. Hagerty magazine did an article regarding California muscle cars and discussed the cost and rarity of these 1970 canisters. The Pontiac legend, Jim Wangers took a short drive in my car at the 2008 Year One Experience. After driving and checking out this GTO, Mr. Wangers wrote the following on the car's radiator cover. "Hey Bud... Hang on to this beautiful 70, it's a "Real Survivor"! signed, Jim Wangers08. Mr. Wangers also pointed out factory chalk marks on the fire wall. If you look you can still see the mark. I will include pictures of what Mr. Wangers wrote and a picture of him sitting in the driver's seat. I'm going to try to post a video on YouTube so people can hear and see the car running. It runs great and cranks perfect every time. I changed the oil with Mobil 1 and added a bottle of Z-Max to the motor. I've been long winded, but I've done my best to honestly describe my GTO. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. Please keep in mind this is a 44 year old car and it comes with no warranties. Write or call me with any questions you have and I will respond quickly. I'll be happy to show it to any serious buyers or agents. Bud 706-983-0357 Shipping is the buyer's responsibility. $500 deposit within 48 hours. Full payment expected in 7 days after auction ends. Funds must clear before I will release the car and pink slip. I will provide the winning bidder with a bill of sale and the pink slip, which is the title in California. Thanks!

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
Junkyard Gem: 1997 Pontiac Sunfire SE Convertible
Sun, Mar 5 2023For the entire 24-year production run of the GM J platform (best known for the Chevrolet Cavalier), the Pontiac Division offered new J-Body cars for sale in the United States. First there was the J2000, followed in quick succession by the 2000, 2000 Sunbird and Sunbird. The Sunbird stuck around until the Cavalier got a major redesign for the 1995 model year, at which point Pontiac changed the car's name to Sunfire. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those early Sunfires, a top-of-the-line SE convertible with the optional big engine and manual transmission. The Sunfire was an extremely close sibling to the same-year Cavalier (by the late 1980s, all the other US-market GM divisions had dropped their J-cars, which meant no more Skyhawks, Cimarrons or Firenzas), quite difficult to distinguish from its near-twin at a glance. The base engine for the 1997 Sunfire convertible was the pushrod 2.2-liter straight-four that powered so many J-bodies of the 1990s. That engine produced just 120 gnashing, valve-floating horsepower, not much by late-1990s standards. For a mere 450 additional dollars, however, the 2.4-liter Twin Cam engine and its high-revving 150 horses could be had by '97 Sunfire buyers. That's what's in this car. This is one of the members of the Oldsmobile Quad 4 family, though some fanatics will yell at you if you apply that name to the versions that don't have big QUAD 4 lettering cast into the valve cover. This is the most powerful engine ever used in production Sunfires. For 1997, Pontiac offered a four-speed automatic transmission for no extra cost in the Sunfire convertible. Buyers of all other Sunfire models that year had to shell out either $550 or $810 ($1,026 or $1,511 in 2023 dollars) for a two-pedal rig. That means that the buyer of this car really wanted the five-speed manual transmission (or just hungered for the $810 credit offered in the fine print for takers of the manual). Plenty of free-breathing engine power, five-on-the-floor driving enjoyment and the open skies above. What a fun car! This one made it to nearly 180,000 miles. For this car with the Quad 4 under the hood and a clutch pedal on the floor, the MSRP was $18,539 (about $34,584 today). Its Cavalier LS convertible twin with the same engine/transmission setup cost $17,365 ($32,394 now). This car has a bunch of options, including the 15" Rally aluminum wheels, so the out-the-door price would have been higher. The last year for the Sunfire was 2005, same as the Cavalier.
