G.T.O.........simply stands for performance.  and this 1970 pontiac has it in spades.  right from the peak of the muscle car era.........from the manufacturer which started it all.  this beautiful 1970 pontiac gto tribute, is as nice as they come.  recent professional, high quality two stage clearcoat, colorsanded and polished paint, in the original light blue metallic.  the interior is also a pleasing period light blue metallic, featuring bucket seats and a real wood console, sporting a b&m floor shifter, with lock-out. always a california car with original unmolested floors and trunk pans. 

the previous owner loved this car, and it shows.  it was almost no expense spared when it came to the mechanicals on this car.  pontiac's potent 350, warmed up with hi-compression heads (prior owner stated the heads are some special rare heads that cost about half of what the car does............i don't know..........and i'm not checking numbers..............all i know is that this car runs GREAT).  special cam, roller rockers, eldelbrock intake and 4bbl carb, polished aluminum rocker covers, chrome air cleaner, msd ignition, large diameter plug wires, large free flow headers into flowmaster exhausts and split rear quad pipes.  .........sounds great too.  constantly getting comments about appearance and sound.  the red line tires are a big favourite, since few people see them any more, they generate a lot of admiration.  the rallye wheels and bf goodrich redlines are almost new, with probably less than 1500 miles on them.  the body is very straight, and there are no signs of rust on the car.  the rest of the driveline is a jewel as well.  th 400 trans built with 2500 rpm stall converter and shift kit.  the rear end is an auburn posi unit.........so this baby not only looks the part...............it can lay it down too.  i've owned many muscle cars...........and i can easily say this is the best driving one i've ever owned.  many are sloppy, ill handling, tempramental tin cans ................but not this one.  this is my pick as a daily driver whenever i can.  but i have other projects............and i'm looking for more, so trades are also interesting to me.  front bucket seats are freshly reupolstered, new carpets, dash cap, and polished trim.  new door gto badges.  loaded with tilt wheel (which is a big thing for me in making the car much easier to get in and out of), read defog option, power brakes and steering.  the car originally had a/c which is not currently hooked up.  bilstein shocks combined with the bfg redline radials, make this car ride wonderful. pioneer bluetooth, hands free cd / mp3 player, so you can talk while you enjoy the road in safety.  i've purposely not detailed under the car, so you can see what it really looks like underneath, and bid with confidence.  a gto, better than the real thing.  much new rubber.  the car needs are few, but i don't want to give the impression this is a concours show car.............cause it is not.  it is a quality driver, a used car.......meant to drive, so please don't expect more, and bid accordingly.  ready for virtually any show and shine car show you can throw at it.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Sun, Nov 28 2021

John DeLorean began his career working on Packard's Ultramatic Twin transmission, but he made his greatest mark on the automotive industry during his 1956-1969 tenure at GM's Pontiac Division. There, he helped develop the first production car engine with a quiet timing belt instead of a noisy chain, among other engineering feats, but his real fame came from the development of two money-printing models based more on marketing than machinery: the GTO and the Grand Prix. While the GTO gets all the attention now, the Grand Prix set the standard for the big-selling personal luxury coupes that sold like mad for decades to come. Today's Junkyard Gem is an example of the most powerful Grand Prix available at the turn of the century, found in a Denver-area self-service yard during the summer. The Grand Prix got front-wheel-drive for 1988 and a sedan version for 1990, but then something very beneficial happened in the 1997 model year: supercharging! Various flavors of the venerable 3.8-liter Buick V6 engine (itself based on the early-1960s Buick 215 V8 and thus cousin to the Rover V8) received Eaton blowers, starting in the 1992 model year. The Grand Prix didn't get its introduction to forced induction until the 1997 model year, but it kept the boosted option until the final Grand Prix rolled off the line in 2008 (the final Pontiac followed within a couple of years). This one made 240 horsepower, making it King of Grand Prix engines until the 2005 model year (when the GXP and its 303-horse V8 engine showed up). The very last year for a Grand Prix with a manual transmission was 1993 (there had been a three-pedal Grand Prix drought from 1973 through 1988, just to put things in perspective), so this car has the mandatory four-speed automatic. The Grand Prix lived on GM's W platform for its last two decades, making it sibling to the Impala, Regal, and Intrigue in 2001. Until the 2004 model year, every W-Body Grand Prix was built at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City (no, theĀ other Kansas City). Production of the final generation of Grand Prix took place in Ontario. It seems fitting that this car's final pre-crusher parking spot would be between two other GM products of the same era: a Monte Carlo and a Vibe.

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years

Mon, Dec 17 2018

An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown

Fri, 22 Aug 2014

Every 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.
