1970 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Carrollton, Missouri, United States
This GTO is a documented California delivery with a rust free body. The Atoll Blue paint was finished in Dupont
Chromabase B9808K Alt 1 and Dupont Premier Clear in the summer of 2005. The body lines are excellent and the fit
and finish is superb. The chrome and bright trim is excellent and both the exterior mirror and rear bumper were
replated.
The Engine:
The 400 Cubic Inch Pontiac V8 is original and was rebuilt in 2005 with about 90,000 miles on the engine. A Missouri
Performance Engine Shop did the rebuild to Ram Air 3 Specs with Ram Air 3 Camshaft. Other performance upgrades
include Pro Rebuilt Carburetor ($399) and Ram Air factory headers and ultimate exhaust kit ($740.00) The engine
starts right up on the automatic choke with an awesome rumble. The big V8 performs flawlessly, carries 60-80 pounds
of oil pressure with no smoke and no leaks. Take a look at the engine bay images... all correct hoses, hose
clamps, fittings, and even factory decals are correct. The air conditioning system is complete and works
perfectly... my meticulous friends even restored the original California Evap Emission System... AMAZING!
The Interior:
The matching blue interior of this GTO is nearly flawless. The dash and dash pad are perfect! All the lights and
switches work perfectly including the A/C and all of the power windows. All the gauges work perfectly except the
odometer is stuck. The center console is excellent, the headliner is superb, the front buckets and rear bench have
no noticeable wear and the blue carpeting is nice as well. The front passenger floor mat could use a cleaning. The
sport steering wheel and horn button are excellent. The interior has two non stock upgrades... they are an under
dash Air Fuel Ratio Gauge ($200) these gauges are an excellent tool when tuning a vintage muscle car, and the stock
AM radio was upgraded to stereo with I-pod compatibility by S&M Electro Tech ($430)... this upgrade is invisible
and the I-pod connector cable is accessed through the ash tray... very nicely done.
The Transmission:
The automatic transmission received a complete rebuild in July of 2006. The transmission shifts crisply and handles
all the torque of the big V8 with no leaks or evidence of slippage.
The Trunk:
The trunk is in excellent stock condition with no evidence of corrosion or damage. Stock spare tire, jack, and hold
down hardware are present as well as jacking instruction decals. Trunk seal is in great condition.
The Chassis:
Take a look at the photos... a rust and damage free frame, new fuel tank, new free flow exhaust, new shocks,
springs, sway bars, and brakes, four new PMD wheels and 4 very nice BF Goodrich TA Radials. The car drives and
handles like a new car.

GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes
Sat, Jun 20 2015General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.
Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe
Sat, Jun 11 2022General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
