1970 Pontiac GTO convertible, 400ci/400 turbo auto., PHS documented,New Jersey car.  Cardinal Red, White int.& power top that goes up and down nicely,  power disc brakes, 3.55 limited slip rear, hood tach, Am radio,

I was told that this GTO is #s matching from the previous owner.  I bought it to drive it so I've never bothered with checking.  The block is cast #YS467758, #13 heads,  trans 70-PY-17498, rear 9799100.  If that helps anyone out there.

Older restoration done around 2000 new quarters and trunk floor professionally installed.  Very presentable Cardinal Red paint job.  The paint shines well with very minor dings here and there. They may be able to be wet sanded out I haven't tried. The nose shows some minor flex cracks that these enduro noses get and there are a few eraser sized rust bubbles on the hood.  All in all the car looks good only on close scrutiny would anyone notice the flaws.  Although its not necessary, a repaint of the hood and nose would improve its presentation.

The engine was redone to factory specs at the time of restoration.  I haven't got many details on the engine build other than  350 Hp YS specs.  I will tell you that it runs and sounds quite healthy.  The odometer reads 49K  and I would bet that when restored the clock was reset.   So I am guessing that the motor has 49K on it.   I have personally put 15K on it in the last 4 years.  Just the other day I took it on a 3 hour loop to Summit Racing and will say its a nice ride. 

The white interior is in very good condition. As is the white top.   All the gauges work as they should.  The suspension and steering are tight.  Brakes responsive.  The exhaust note not too loud to cruise in but loud enough to let yourself be heard.  All the lights work, even the trunk lamp! 

In the last year I have repaced the front wheel bearings, new exhaust, starter, and have purchased new stainless pinch weld molding(yet to be installed).

This is a great crusing drop top GTO.  I've taken many 2-3 hour drives in this car with no troubles at all.  This car gets driven regularly and without hesitation.  Starts and runs readily each time. Has one small oil leak that will be rectified at this springs oil change ( oil filter housing needs a new gasket).  The horn, radio, and clock do not work but other than that this car is ready to roll.   

I am not selling out of necessity.  Just dreaming of a resto-mod drop top 5 speed that I want to build.  Although this is a really nice car, its not "My" car.   I have no doubts the next owner will get many enjoyable hours in this one.  For me its on to the next one. 

This is no show car it is a very nice driver condition classic.  As such expect to find minor flaws here and there it is not perfect and the price reflects that.   

I encourage anyone interested to come and see it for yourself.  It surely wont disappoint.  I am 20 minutes from the Pittsburgh airport.  If you have any questions call Chad 724-312-2529.

Thanks, Chad

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac G6

Sat, Sep 12 2020

What makes a discarded car a gem? Sometimes it's a car we all agree is very cool, and other times it's a car that tells us something about automotive history. Today's Junkyard Gem is the latter type: one of the very last Pontiacs sold, before The General shut out the lights forever on the storied marque after 84 years. The G6 was Pontiac's Epsilon-platform-based car, sibling to the Chevy Malibu, Saturn Aura, and Saab 9-3 (plus a bunch of Europe-only machinery). The very last Pontiac ever built was a white 2010 G6 sedan like this one (all '10 G6s were sedans, the coupe and convertible having been nixed in 2009), though that car was built in January of 2010 and this one came off the line in July of 2009. They build Bolts at the Orion Assembly plant these days. The higher-zoot G6s came with V6s or even V8s, but this car has "fleet machine" written all over it and has the base 2.4-liter Ecotec four-banger making 164 horsepower. Pontiac shoppers in the United States could buy the Vibe as a 2010 model as well, while Mexican Pontiac dealerships also sold new G2s (known as the Spark here) that year. The G6 was The Final Pontiac, though, bookending a run that began with the 1926 Pontiac Six. This one will go to its grave with the original owner's manual still inside. Even the cheapest 2010 G6s came with an AUX jack for the radio, a feature that was still maddeningly hard to find in rental cars a decade ago. This content is hosted by a third party.

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.
