1970 Pontiac GTO convertible, 400ci/400 turbo auto., PHS documented,New Jersey car.  Cardinal Red, White int.& power top that goes up and down nicely,  power disc brakes, 3.55 limited slip rear, hood tach, Am radio,

I was told that this GTO is #s matching from the previous owner.  I bought it to drive it so I've never bothered with checking.  The block is cast #YS467758, #13 heads,  trans 70-PY-17498, rear 9799100.  If that helps anyone out there.

Older restoration done around 2000 new quarters and trunk floor professionally installed.  Very presentable Cardinal Red paint job.  The paint shines well with very minor dings here and there. They may be able to be wet sanded out I haven't tried. The nose shows some minor flex cracks that these enduro noses get and there are a few eraser sized rust bubbles on the hood.  All in all the car looks good only on close scrutiny would anyone notice the flaws.  Although its not necessary, a repaint of the hood and nose would improve its presentation.

The engine was redone to factory specs at the time of restoration.  I haven't got many details on the engine build other than  350 Hp YS specs.  I will tell you that it runs and sounds quite healthy.  The odometer reads 49K  and I would bet that when restored the clock was reset.   So I am guessing that the motor has 49K on it.   I have personally put 15K on it in the last 4 years.  Just the other day I took it on a 3 hour loop to Summit Racing and will say its a nice ride. 

The white interior is in very good condition. As is the white top.   All the gauges work as they should.  The suspension and steering are tight.  Brakes responsive.  The exhaust note not too loud to cruise in but loud enough to let yourself be heard.  All the lights work, even the trunk lamp! 

In the last year I have repaced the front wheel bearings, new exhaust, starter, and have purchased new stainless pinch weld molding(yet to be installed).

This is a great crusing drop top GTO.  I've taken many 2-3 hour drives in this car with no troubles at all.  This car gets driven regularly and without hesitation.  Starts and runs readily each time. Has one small oil leak that will be rectified at this springs oil change ( oil filter housing needs a new gasket).  The horn, radio, and clock do not work but other than that this car is ready to roll.   

I am not selling out of necessity.  Just dreaming of a resto-mod drop top 5 speed that I want to build.  Although this is a really nice car, its not "My" car.   I have no doubts the next owner will get many enjoyable hours in this one.  For me its on to the next one. 

This is no show car it is a very nice driver condition classic.  As such expect to find minor flaws here and there it is not perfect and the price reflects that.   

I encourage anyone interested to come and see it for yourself.  It surely wont disappoint.  I am 20 minutes from the Pittsburgh airport.  If you have any questions call Chad 724-312-2529.

Thanks, Chad

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way

Tue, 21 Feb 2012

There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.

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.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan

Tue, Feb 7 2017

During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.
