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

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did
Fri, Jun 21 2019Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.
