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.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

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."

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.
