1970 GTO Factory 455 RAM AIR 4 speed convertible. PHS documented. 1
of only 158 455 convertibles! Only a handful of these had the rare Ram
Air option! Has the rare blue California license plates. I thought I'd never sell this car but unfortunately I need to let it go. Come take a look. You can drive this car anywhere. I recently took it to a cruise and car show that was 130 miles away. The car performed flawlessly.
Completely restored, frame off, everything stripped down to bare metal, every nut & bolt, wire etc.. removed and restored or replaced. Extremely rare 455 ram air. Options include: factory 455, Ram Air, Muncie close ratio M21 trans, 12 bolt posi (3:31 RATIO), power steering and power disc brakes, rally gauges/tach, console, am/fm radio. All colors as original E.G.,baja gold ( beautiful, polished to a glass-like finish), black top/interior, #1 car... less than 1,500 miles since finished. You can run a magnet anywhere on the body, and it is done right. Floors and trunk all original G.M. metal. Trunk pan is coated as original, not that cheap spray can stuff. All done to factory specs except the exhaust system which is an expensive Pypes X pipe 2.5 stainless steel system with the ram air exhaust manifolds, breaths much better than the original 2 1/4 inch. It is not too loud so you can hold a conversation with the top down without having to yell. All things mechanical and electrical work as it should. The car is VERY correct except for what I have mentioned in the description here. This is a #1 car. even smells like a new car inside. We used as much as possible of the original parts instead of just buying all repo parts and having a "reproduction" car. From the original T3 headlights to the very nice original taillights. All stainless has been straightened/polished... Rear bumper and shifter handle re chromed. Details about the drive train... The block is NOT #S MATCHING...Dates (rear, block heads) are all right at December 1969 which is not impossible for this 455 ram air car.. Trans is Jan. 23 1970 ( code on trans POA23B). Engine is a correct WA 4 bolt main block with no vin# ( for real). bored 30 over with trw forged pistons ( 9.5 c.r.), and completely balanced. Has a RAM air 4 spec cam which is a great cam for this engine.. Heads are # 64's and I have cleaned up/polished the bowls and ports (no heavy removal, just mostly the casting flaws, rough areas ) Port matched to the intake. Ferrea stainless steel valves and Crower springs/retainers. Trans is a Muncie M21 with a partial vin all correct externally The last 2 #'s are not visible the other #s are matching the vin of the car. When I rebuilt it I used M22 internals ( which should have been original, but at more cost to me) as the M21 and the M22 have the same gearing ratios but the M22 gears are of course heavier duty and the helical cut and of course much stronger...kinda neat! Rear is ORIGINAL and rebuilt. The carb is a REAL 7040273( I guarantee it) it IS a service replacement with a 2232 (223 day of 1972) date..it has the correct top plate (very critical for the 7040273) and with the correct bowl and bottom plate...it has ALL the parts of an original/correct 7040273. Carb was rebuilt by Cliff Ruggles of Cliff's High Performance Quadrajets. Distributor is the correct, 1112012. It also has the JT rims with the brand new correct Firestone Wide Oval tires. Some of the photos show BF Goodrich T/A's but the car now has the wide ovals and trim rings on the wheels. They look incredible. Tires were balanced with Dyna Beads and ride smooth. Car runs at 180 degrees. Recently had it in the 4th of July parade and it never moved past 180 degrees. This GTO is very beautiful and very correct and very well done. You can drive this car anywhere. It needs nothing. Come take a drive and you'll want to take it home. Please call me and ask questions. I can tell you much more about the car over the phone. 408-593-7375 |

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
