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!

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
The last Pontiac Fiero sold for $90,000 at auction
Thu, Dec 3 2020On August 16, 1988 the last Pontiac Fiero, a red GT model, rolled off the assembly line at GM's Pontiac Assembly plant located in Pontiac, Michigan. It wasn't just the final Fiero, but the final car to be built at that site. The car was raffled off to one of 1,400 plant employees that would soon have to find jobs elsewhere. Whoever that employee was, they remained faithful to the Fiero and kept it in mint condition for 32 years. Last month, it was finally time to move on. It crossed the block at GAA Auctions in Greensboro, North Carolina where it sold for an astounding $90,000. According to the auction house, that's a new world record. The price no doubt reflected the car's place in history as the last example of GM's 1980s mid-engined sports car. However, it was also showroom-new, with just 582 miles clocked on its 2.8-liter V6. 1988 models were also fitted with an upgraded, Lotus-esque suspension produced for just that one year. In addition, this car, serial number 226402, came with its original build sheet, photos from the assembly line, and a collection of news articles and books. It still wore its pre-delivery plastic on the interior and was fully loaded with automatic transmission. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

You can see the action starting at the 2:50:13 mark in the video above. The Fiero was symbolic of the 1980s and stood out from the standard GM passenger car fare for its mid-engine layout and plastic body panels. In an era when GM often rebadged cars with minimal differences, the Fiero rode on its own unique chassis. It was positioned as one of the defining products for Pontiac, GM's "excitement" brand, but actual performance never quite lived up to its striking looks. Nevertheless, it garnered a cult following. It's often the basis for (questionable) custom builds mimicking more exotic models like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, thanks to a steel space-frame design that allows body panels to be easily removed. Thankfully, this significant example escaped such a fate and will live on as a reminder of an interesting chapter of automotive history.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
