1969 Pontiac GTO Frame-Off Restored Car-Fantastic Color Combination This is a rare opportunity to own an authentic code 242 GTO. This goat came from Arkansas, and still has the clean and clear title from that state issued in 1989. I will try to list everything that was done to this striking Matador Red beauty. The super nice rust free frame was removed from the body to be media blasted, and then nicely finished in POR-15. The body was meticulously prepped, and the paint work was applied with three coats of Dupont Matador Red basecoat, followed by three coats of the very expensive PPG clearcoat. The body was then buffed at three different finishing levels to bring out the deep rich shine as evident by the pictures. A brand new black vinyl top was applied to the roof, and then a brand new tinted windshield was installed at that time. There is all new weather stripping, new window felts, new door gaskets, new pillar gaskets, and a new trunk gasket. There are new door locks, and a new trunk lock. The freshly detailed frame has a new set of body mount bushings. The other new items include new ball joints, new u-joints, new inner and outer tie-rod ends, new upper and lower control arm bushings, new rear control arm bushings, a new center link, new sway bar bushings and stabilizer links. There is a new set of shocks and springs to make this Pontiac sit up like when it rolled out of the factory in 1969. The fenders are both very solid and rust free with no filler. The doors are clean and still have the original seams at the bottom. The quarter panels are very nice originals with clean inner and outer wheel wells. There is a factory original dual scooped GTO hood, and a new air filter inside the correct factory original 1969 dual snorkel air cleaner with a new chrome lid. The endura nose is in very nice condition. All four stainless steel wheel opening moldings are original and were high speed polished. Both chrome rocker moldings are new with a new triple-plated chrome rear bumper. The body is dressed with all brand new GTO emblems. There is a brand new 4-core radiator for maximum cooling of this Big Block 400 cubic inch engine. The 4-barrel Quadrajet carburetor is completely rebuilt with numbers that match a 1970 GTO. It sits on top of the correct 1969 GTO high rise intake manifold. The correct GTO 7-blade fan clutch cools down this High Output Big Block Pontiac 400 from 1967 with large valve heads. This HO motor really fires right up and runs like a high performance wristwatch. The engine is hooked up to the correct 1969 GTO exhaust manifolds with new 2 1/4" dual exhaust pipes from front to back with Magnaflow mufflers, and the new correct chrome 1969 GTO exhaust tips. This engine Purrr's and Grrrr's then growls with a light step of the right foot like a real champion Gran Turismo Option goat should. This sweet GTO Big Block 400 has a new distributor cap, new plugs, new points, new condenser, new rotor, and new Taylor 10 MM wires for maximum spark. There has been a fresh oil change and oil filter to prepare this goat for the first 1500 miles driven by the new owner. There is a new heater core, new oil pump, new double roller timing chain, new coil, new voltage regulator, new starter, new fuel pump, new water pump, new alternator, new master cylinder, all new belts, all new hoses, all new transmission lines, all new pre-bent factory brake lines, all new fuel lines, all new gaskets, all new disc brake pads in the front, new brake shoes in the rear, all four new wheel cylinders, and all new braking hardware. This goat is fired up by a new Napa Legend 75 battery with new battery cables, and new positive and negative battery terminal ends. All of the reproduced original factory decals were placed in the proper areas to give this GTO the same appearance as the day it rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor 45 years ago in 1969. Since virtually everything is new, like new, or reconditioned, the speedometer has been set to all zero's, so the new owner will have the pleasure of knowing exactly how many miles they have driven from day one of their purchase. The transmission is the correct 1969 GTO Turbo Hydromatic 400 PX transmission that shifts like a goat should with a new shifter cable. This GTO was factory ordered with power steering, power front disc brakes, AM radio, bucket seats, and a console. I could not find a new front factory speaker in time for the auction, so the original AM radio is not hooked up. The choice of sound with be left up to the lucky winner of this awesome goat. The nice black interior has a new dash pad, and a new headliner with new black carpeting that has the extra sound deadener padding. There is a new set of four black carpeted floor mats to keep the new carpet like new. The original owner's manual is still in the glove compartment. There are a pair of brand new door sills, so as you step into this goat it virtually feels like you're at your local Pontiac dealer stepping into a brand new 1969 GTO. The entire interior is in relatively nice condition as seen in the pictures. The original floors are in very nice solid condition, and were nicely detailed with Satin black paint to make the undercarriage appear factory fresh. This goat has a 10-bolt positive traction 3.55 rear-end. It rides on a brand new pair of 215/70R15" Cooper Cobra raised white lettered steel belted radials on the front, and a pair of 275/60R15" Cooper Cobra's on the rear mounted on nicely detailed Pontiac Rally II wheels. There are a fresh new set of four correct black PMD center caps, and a brand new set of four beauty trim rings. The rally II wheels are bolted on with a new set of the correct 1969 GTO chrome lug nuts with the black inset. The inside sides of the trunk pan are original, but the center portion has been replaced with the correct center trunk panel. The trunk floor was then nicely detailed with black and aqua spatter spray to make it appear factory correct. An original jack and the original hard to find nubby crow bar sits on top of a new aftermarket replacement trunk floor mat. The trunk also carries a full size spare in case there is a mishap on the road you can be back driving in minutes with a quick tire change looking complete. An exorbitant amount of time, money, and effort went into the frame-off restoration of this sweet GTO. The intention was to bring it up to show quality status. Although I am classifying this car as a super nice daily driver, and not a museum piece trailer queen. What you see is exactly what you get!! The Nada Classic Car Price Guide that anyone can look up on line currently has the 1969 Pontiac GTO with rally wheels listed at $63,315 in high condition, which they consider an excellent overall vehicle that was completely restored, or an original vehicle showing very minimal wear. Note: This value does not represent a 100 point show car or a #1 vehicle. Those vehicles can reach much higher prices. $36,225 in average condition, which they consider in good overall condition that could be an older restoration or a well maintained original vehicle that is completely operable. The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are presentable and serviceable inside and out. They say an average condition car is considered a 20-Footer! They have the lowest condition valued at $10,867 for a car needing pretty much everything. Numbers don't lie! I believe this Gran Turismo Omolgato is in much better condition than what Nada considers average. I also believe everywhere this goat is driven it will be a spectacle, and the pride of the neighborhood. This Pontiac is an investment that will continue to rise as these cars have proven to consistently escalate in value. This car is for the guy or girl that always wanted one back in high school, or maybe wants to show off at their high school reunion to prove how cool they still are. Isn't it time to treat yourself to the Wonderful World of the Widetrack of Pontiac?? I try to list everything I can think of when I write a description, so every potential bidder can make the most informed decision prior to placing their bid. If you feel I may have left anything out please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. This Classic GTO is being offered on a quick 3-day auction at "No Reserve" and will have a new home on Sunday evening at 5:00pm Pacific, 7:00pm Central, or 8:00pm Eastern time depending on your location. This just may be the dream car you've been searching for. Thank You for taking the time to view my auction!!! Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!! |

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.

Like the Corvair, the Vega, and the Citation, the Pontiac Fiero was a very innovative machine that ended up causing General Motors more headaches than happiness, and Fiero aficionados and naysayers continue to beat each other with tire irons (figuratively speaking, I hope) to this day. The General has often proved willing to take the occasional big gamble and huge GM successes in engineering prowess (including the first overhead-valve V8 engine for the masses and the first real-world-usable true automatic transmission) and marketing brilliance (e.g., the Pontiac GTO and related John DeLorean home runs) meant that the idea of a mid-engined sporty economy car (or economical sports car) got a shot from the suits on the 14th floor. Sadly, the Fiero ended up being the marketplace victim of too many issues to get into here, and The General pulled the plug immediately after the 1988-model-year suspension redesign that made the Fiero the sports car it should have been all along. But what if the plastic Pontiac had never suffered from the misery of the gnashy, pokey Iron Duke engine and had been built from the start with a screaming supercharged V6 making way better than 200 horsepower? The final owner of today's Junkyard Gem sought to make that very Fiero, by dropping in one of the many supercharged 3.8-liter V6s installed in 1990s and 2000s GM factory hot rods. The first Fieros came out in 1983 for model year 1984, and the only engine available that year was the Iron Duke 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which generated its 92 horsepower with the full-throated song of a Soviet tractor stuck in the freezing mud of a Polish sugar-beet field. The 2M4 badging stood for "two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders," just as the numbers in the Oldsmobile 4-4-2 once represented "four carburetor barrels, four-speed manual transmission, dual exhaust." This car is a top-trim-level SE model, which listed for $9,599 (about $24,200 today). The no-frills Fiero cost just $7,999 that year, making these cars far cheaper than the only other reasonably affordable new mid-engined car Americans could buy at that time: the $13,990 Bertone (aka Fiat) X1/9. The Toyota MR2 appeared in North America as a 1985 model with a base price of $10,999 and promptly siphoned off the car-buying cash from a bunch of potential Fiero shoppers.

The mid-engined, plastic-bodied Pontiac Fiero two-seater caused great excitement when it hit the streets as a 1984 model, then became something of an embarrassment for GM when its design flaws became clear to the car-buying public. Still, when a V6 engine became available for 1985, followed by a fastback roof for 1986, the air of Pontiac Excitement around the Fiero lingered to a certain extent. We took a look at a discarded '86 Fiero GT with both the 2.8-liter V6 and the fastback body last year, and now we'll take a look at an example of the econo-commuter four-cylinder notchback version from the same year. Pontiac used the 2M4 designation (standing for two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders) on four-cylinder Fieros, while the six-cylinder cars were known as 2M6s. 2M4 decals went on four-banger Fieros for the 1984-1986 model years, while 2M6 decals seem to have been applied less consistently to the V6 cars of that period. During the early development period of the car that became the Fiero, the idea was that it would be a nimble sports car with a lightweight engine. Then the plan shifted, with the Fiero intended to be a gas-sipping commuter. When the car finally hit showrooms, it was a lot heavier than intended, it had a Chevy Citation front suspension in the back plus a Chevette front suspension, and its engine was the low-revving, weighty Iron Duke 2.5-liter straight-four. The Duke was about the least sports-car-appropriate four-cylinder engine The General could dredge up from his parts bins, but it was cheap and there was no shortage of production capacity. By the time the Fiero came out, the Iron Duke had been renamed the Tech 4. This one was rated at 92 horsepower and 132 pound-feet. The V6 Fieros get all the press today, but plenty of the Duked versions were sold (amazingly, the Chevrolet Camaro was available with Iron Duke power from 1982 through 1986). The emissions sticker tells us that this was a California-market car, rather than the "49-state" model the rest of the country got. California-specific emissions hardware added $99 to this car's price ($277 in 2023 dollars). While this car is a base model, the original buyer loaded it with options. The transmission is a three-speed automatic, priced at $465 (about $1,303 in 2023 dollars). A five-speed manual was standard equipment on the 1986 Fiero, though the old-fashioned four-speed manual was still available for a $50 credit ($140 now).
