1971 Pontiac Gto Born-with Drivetrain Time Capsule Muscle Car on 2040-cars
Readstown, Wisconsin, United States
This special survivor car wears 100% of its original paint and interior
components (sans carpet and package tray) and has a completely born-with drivetrain, including important parts like
its carburetor, distributor, intake, and exhaust manifolds. The Judge has managed just over 99,000 miles
The engine, transmission, and rear axle are born-with factory original to this car. Other important components,
like the 455 H.O. only carburetor, distributor, intake, and exhaust manifolds are also born-with and on the car.
a complete tune-up, including plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and points
Hoses and belts
All fluids, including oil, transmission fluid, rear gear oil, coolant, and brake fluid. The entire fuel system
was also flushed. Note that the original gas tank has the build sheet attached in a such a way that it cannot be
removed without being ruined. A decision was made to mount a used '71 gas tank on the car and keep the original gas
tank for documentation purposes.
A no expense spared Gardner exhaust kit has been installed, which nearly perfectly mimics the factory exhaust
for this car. The original exhaust had several holes and the original mufflers had been replaced with glasspacks. I
have the original splitter tips, as they were still on the car. New exhaust manifold gaskets have also been
installed.
The Judge has new brakes on all four tires, including a master cylinder, drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, and
seals. Original parts were saved and will be included with the sale.
The clutch has been adjusted, along with the shifter linkage. The carburetor has been adjusted, and timing set
per Rocky Rotella's recommendation for the 455 H.O.
Tires are a set of reproduction Firestone Wide Ovals in the correct G70-14 size, because the original Uniroyal
Tiger Paw tires are not reproduced. The original spare tire is with the car and in the trunk.
The Judge starts, runs, and drives like it's 1971.... The 3 speed transmission is an
absolute blast to drive. and 2nd gear will put a smile on your face every time. The car pulls hard. A compression
test was performed when the brakes were done last fall at Park Automotive (Camaro Supercar fame) and the 455 H.O.
is healthy. With that said, she will puff a bit of blue after long periods of storage. It clears up with a drive
and doesn't reappear with semi-regular drives.
The radio works. The rear de-fog works. The horn works. All lights work, along with the directionals and hazards.
The gauges work. The reverse lockout works like it should.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum
Tue, Aug 27 2019Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles. The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
