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.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?

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.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
