Its not too often that one of these vehicles becomes available. This car belonged to my dad and I am selling if for my mom. For most of it's life (and mine) it has been stored in a climate controlled garage. It was purchased around 1980 and was meticulously maintained. I believe the previous owner had the paint done, but it is in great shape for being 30+ years old. This car is also 99% stock. Nuts and bolts are all original and the car took 2nd place in the 9th Annual International Meet of the GTO Association of America in 1988. I was told by my dad, that the only reason it didn't take 1st was due to the aftermarket gauge pod under the dash (he never trusted the dummy lights).

I have a ton of paperwork on the car including maintenance receipts, original window sticker, and PHS documents with reproduction window sticker. I just recently removed the car from storage in our barn and had it gone over from top to bottom. Surprisingly, it had no major issues after sitting mostly unused (I remember 3 times in my life and I'm 31 yrs old) for 30+ years. The brakes were completely overhauled. The carburetor was rebuilt and all of the electrical was checked. New factory correct (whitewall) radials were put on the car for drive-ability. Light polishing of the chrome to restore the luster and careful cleaning were performed to leave the car in "un-restored" condition.

All of this work was completed by a classic car restoration expert. This is a man who is asked to go to high-end auctions to buy very expensive cars for very wealthy people. He also has made a career of working on these cars and specializes in full classic car restoration. His credentials are endless. Anyway, he was taken aback by the vehicle and what miraculous condition it is in.

The engine is a 389 with a stock 4 bbl setup (remember, this is 99% original). It has a 4 speed transmission with a posi-track rear-end. The top is electric and works great. There is also the original wood steering wheel. It has dual exhaust and starts up and runs great.

The pictures tell most of the story but please do not hesitate to contact me with questions. This car is for the purest who wants the original GTO - the first year of this legacy. It will not disappoint

**Please note that despite this car not having a "5N" code on the data plate, it has been certified as an authentic GTO by PHS. Only 2 plants used this coding, Pontiac and Kansas City. This is a California car and Freemont did not use the "5N" designation. Also, for what it is worth the original window sticker has the matching VIN and Gran Turismo Omologato option clearly listed**

**The heads are 716 and the engine is 78X. I have additional pictures of the castings and stamp**

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.

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.
