Up for sale is a very rare 1970 Pontiac GTO Ram Air IV four speed car. This car has just underwent a full frame
off restoration with no expense spared. The underside is as nice as the top. This is a very desirable car, they
made only 627 ram air iv four speeds cars in 1970. The car is painted in its factory correct Palisades Green color
with the correct factory green vinyl top. The interior is the correct green interior fully restored with top of
the line legendary products and the dash was restored by just dashes. The entire car was stripped to bare metal
and restored properly. It is painted in base coat clear coat DuPont ChromaBase again top of the line.
Some history on this car, it was bought new in Worcester Massachusetts in 1970 by a serviceman. He later took the
car to Texas were it was last plated in 1978 and in fact that plate is still with the car today. The car then went
into storage were the second owner bought the car and stashed it away for almost 30 years. Fast forward to the
present and I am the third owner and second titled owner of this car. Mileage is 51,089 and believed to be correct
based on the amount of time it sat in storage and ownership history. This car was a heavily optioned car and was
ordered with just about everything but the judge package as the original owner didn't want to call attention to
himself and wanted a sleeper car. List of options include: tinted glass, power windows, deck lid release, door
guard moldings, wheel opening moldings, vinyl top, remote mirror, right hand mirror, floor console, positraction,
power disc brakes, M21 heavy duty four speed transmission, leather steering wheel, power steering, rally II wheels,
hood tachometer, electric clock, decor group, and rally gauge clock.
The car comes with the PHS documentation and also one very nice original build sheet and a partial build sheet.
Also I have a clear Illinois title in my name. All of the drivetrain was rebuilt by professionals with receipts.
The engine block is a service replacement block from Pontiac and all the expensive ram air iv parts are present.
The transmission was treated to a full detailed rebuild and is the numbers matching original. Car sits on original
rally II wheels with brand new firestone wide oval tires. Car has zero miles on restoration and is ready to have
the engine broken in. This is a very rare and desirable car and a fine piece to add to a collection. This is the
first Ram Air IV car that I have seen in Palisades Green for sale in the last 10 years.

Distracted driver crosses center line and hits police car

Wed, Apr 6 2016

Attentive driving and quick reflexes saved the life of a police officer in Hudson, WI, when an oncoming driver drifted into the officer's lane and struck his cruiser. According to KMSP, the officer was patrolling along a busy road through Hudson on March 31 when the crash occurred. Dash cam video from the patrol car which was released to local media shows the dramatic collision unfold. As the officer came around a mild left-hand curve, a white, 90s-era Pontiac Grand Am continued straight through the curve, across the center line, and directly into the officer's path. The officer was able to avoid a head-on collision, but the Pontiac still struck the driver's side of the patrol car. "Both the officer and the other driver are ok, however, this accident could have been much, much worse," said a Hudson Police Department official on the department's Facebook page. "So please remember to pay attention to your driving at all times when behind the wheel." Minnesota's Department of Public Safety estimates that one in every four crashes in the State of Minnesota are caused by distracted drivers. DPS believes that the actual number may be higher, but police often have difficulty proving distracted driving as the cause of a crash. Government/Legal Pontiac Driving Safety Coupe Police/Emergency

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
