I have a 1970 Pontiac GTO for sale.  I bought this car thinking I had time to mess with it some but I do auto restorations for a living and I am coming in to my busy time. This car was frame on restored about 6 years ago and purchased by am Army serviceman up in Washington State.  He drove the car as an everyday driver for 4 years or so and got into a little fender bender and parked it.  The 400 was rebuilt a few years ago and has less that 3000 miles on it and runs great.  The 400 turbo transmission shifts great.  I believe it has a 3.73 rear gear in it.  The car is very solid but does have a few minor issues that I tried to take pictures of.  The floors and trunk are as solid as they come.  It looks like all body panels are original to the car with the exception of the left quarter panel.  All gaps are great and door bottoms and edges are great.  Backs and fronts of rockers are rock solid as well as the trunk lip.  The car has manual drum brakes and after driving the car I understand why the fender bender accured.  The brakes do need some attention.  It will stop but it takes some foot pressure.  The car has P/S and a heater.  The engine bay was detailed up very nice when the car was painted.  All the floors on the inside where cleaned and sprayed with some kind of good hardened undercoating as was the trunk.  The interior is very clean but the seat buns have come apart a little inside.  The dash has a crack in in but I think a cap would fix it.  The car had a new painless wiring harness installed when it was restored.  It does have some electrical issues though.  Seems as though maybe the dash is not grounded because I am getting feedback through the gauges.  I will probably look at a few of these issues as I get time.  The car does run and drive fine but it is a small project for someone who has the time to work through a few of its issues.  The wheels and tires are nice.  I tried to take a picture of the cowl tag but it did not come out so I will type it in.  If you have any questions or want to come take a look just let me know.  281-615-0551.  The paint is enamel and looks good but it is 6+ years old.  The body is very straight.  If someone wanted me to fix the damage and repaint we can discuss.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

Woman Cleared In Fatal Car Wreck After GM Letter

Tue, Nov 25 2014

A Texas judge cleared a woman Monday for a car accident that killed her fiance in 2004, after General Motors acknowledged that her car would have been among millions being recalled for a problem that may have contributed to the death. Candice Anderson was driving a 2004 Saturn Ion when it suddenly veered off a road about 60 miles east of Dallas and slammed into a tree. Anderson, then 21, was severely injured when the car's air bags failed to deploy. Her 25-year-old fiance, Gene Erikson, who was a passenger, was killed. She later pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the wreck. But during a hearing Monday, State District Judge Teresa Drum expunged the conviction from her record, according to officials in the Van Zandt County court andAnderson's attorney, Bob Hilliard. In a letter given to the court ahead of the hearing, an attorney for the automaker confirmed that Anderson's Saturn would have been among 2.6 million GM vehicles recalled in February to address ignition switches that can slip out of the "run" position, causing the engines to stall and disabling power steering, brakes and air bags. Anderson's crash "is one in which the recall condition may have caused or contributed to the frontal air bag non-deployment in the accident," attorney Richard C. Godfrey wrote. Hilliard provided a copy of the letter to The Associated Press, and Godfrey confirmed its contents Monday. Anderson was initially charged with criminally negligent homicide because there was no clear explanation at the time why the wreck occurred, according to court documents from the case. She pleaded guilty to a letter charge in 2006, and was sentenced to five years' probation. She also was ordered to perform 260 hours of community service, pay court costs and cover the costs of Erikson's funeral. "GM knew this defect caused this death, yet instead of telling the truth watched silently as Candice was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter," Hilliard said Monday. "It took 10 years for GM to find its voice." In a separate statement issued by the company, GM said it "cooperated fully by providing technical information that was requested to make a decision in this matter." The carmaker also said the issue in Anderson's case was for local law enforcement and courts to consider. "That's why we took a neutral position on Ms. Anderson's case," the company's statement said. "It was appropriate for the court to determine the legal status of Ms.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
