1970 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Pendergrass, Georgia, United States
1970 Pontiac GTO, California Survivor, numbers matching. Original 400 with 350 horse power. Original owners manual and California Pink Slip included. Factory 10 bolt rear end. Car has factory air, power steering, power brakes, automatic, am radio. I put on a period correct Rochester carb. The factory original carb is in a box in the trunk, which is included in the sale to the future owner. Engine bay is very well maintained and looks great. Car drives well and has plenty of power. Tires are full of tread and wheels are in beautiful condition. The Enduro bumper is in excellent condition. Interior is fresh, clean, no tears, rips. Front and back seats have all original factory seat belts in car. Front seats have two factory belt buckles, one for the shoulder strap and one for the lap belt. Headliner is in very good condition with no rips or tears. Trunk is in excellent shape with no rust issues and includes the factory bumper jack and the original small tire which has never been used. Inside of the trunk looks great! Interior and exterior are in very good condition for a 44 year old car. The car has factory glass throughout, original T3 headlights, factory paint still in door jams, trunk and inside engine bay. Somewhere along the way the master cylinder was replaced. Undercarriage is solid and in good condition. Car had one light re-spray years prior to me purchasing it. This is as rust free as you will find. When I purchased the car in 08, I was told that the car has some lead bleeding through the right and left seams where the quarter panels join the roof. It can be seen. I will include a picture. It has NOT gotten worse since 2008. Also, this car has the original metal dealer drive out tag. Roc Cutri was the GMC dealer where the car was purchased in 1970. Roc Cutri GMC has long since closed, but you can still see their dealership history on the internet. The downside to this car is the dash. California heat split the top left in two places and one place almost in the middle. I will include pictures of the cracks. I intended to send the dash out to be restored, but it never took top priority. I had to leave something left to do. What fun are they, if there's nothing left to work on? That's my opinion. I keep it in a dehumidified garage. The collector before me also kept this car in a dehumidified garage. It is one of a few original survivors. Some like a restored car, but this car hasn't been restored. This car is like it came off the lot. You can restore cars as many times as you want, but they're only original once. This car is for the person that still wants an original and they want to do a few minor things for a hobby, while enjoying a beautiful, stock 70 California, GTO. I have the original California Pink slip for this car which will be included in the sale. Also, this is a rare 1970 California emission equipped car with the original California emissions canister. Based on one Pontiac guru, this canister is a rare piece and not reproduced. He said the first thing people did when they bought a California GTO with the canister was to trash it. Now they're extremely expensive and hard to find for a 1970 California GTO, which he said makes for a more rare GTO. Hagerty magazine did an article regarding California muscle cars and discussed the cost and rarity of these 1970 canisters. The Pontiac legend, Jim Wangers took a short drive in my car at the 2008 Year One Experience. After driving and checking out this GTO, Mr. Wangers wrote the following on the car's radiator cover. "Hey Bud... Hang on to this beautiful 70, it's a "Real Survivor"! signed, Jim Wangers08. Mr. Wangers also pointed out factory chalk marks on the fire wall. If you look you can still see the mark. I will include pictures of what Mr. Wangers wrote and a picture of him sitting in the driver's seat. I'm going to try to post a video on YouTube so people can hear and see the car running. It runs great and cranks perfect every time. I changed the oil with Mobil 1 and added a bottle of Z-Max to the motor. I've been long winded, but I've done my best to honestly describe my GTO. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding. Please keep in mind this is a 44 year old car and it comes with no warranties. Write or call me with any questions you have and I will respond quickly. I'll be happy to show it to any serious buyers or agents. Bud 706-983-0357 Shipping is the buyer's responsibility. $500 deposit within 48 hours. Full payment expected in 7 days after auction ends. Funds must clear before I will release the car and pink slip. I will provide the winning bidder with a bill of sale and the pink slip, which is the title in California. Thanks!

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Fiero-based Zimmer Quicksilver was objectively terrible, but we'd totally drive it
Wed, Jan 19 2022Now here's something you don't see everyday. It's listed in our classified ads as a 1986 Pontiac Fiero, but as you can see, that description is a bit misleading. In fact, it's a Zimmer Quicksilver, which was indeed built atop the guts of a mid-engine Fiero coupe but was heavily modified by the Zimmer Motorcars Corporation at a facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. And the one you see here actually seems to be a pretty decent deal for a highly unusual car. We're not sure what was a more popular starting point for kit and custom cars in the 1980s and 1990s, but it would have to be either the Fiero or the vintage air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle. Fiero-based machines usually mimicked the design direction of any number of highly desirable Italian stallions, most commonly, we'd guess, the Lamborghini Countach. The Quicksilver is an altogether different animal, with over a foot of extra wheelbase added in front of the A-pillar to make for a dramatic, long and low silhouette that somehow still only has barely enough room for two passengers in its leather- and wood-lined interior.

A stock 2.8-liter V6 engine from General Motors is mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that sends 140 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Period road tests found the 0-60 run took a little over 10 seconds, which is terrible today but wasn't all that bad for the mid '80s. Best we can tell, only around 170 Quicksilvers were made between 1984 and 1988, which are, not coincidentally, the same years that Pontiac produced the Fiero. The 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver you see here is priced at $18,495 and shows well under 30,000 miles on the odometer. There aren't a lot of Zimmer Quicksilvers currently for sale for us to compare, but the ones we did find that had sold within the last few years suggest a little under $20,000 is a reasonable asking price. It could be a fun and offbeat addition to the garage, and if nothing else, you're not likely to see another one at your local car show. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.
