1971 Pontiac GTO Complete owner history back to the day it was ordered by an air force academy grad named thomas arizmendi (whose name is on the protect-o-plate).
The car was built the month of june at the Fremont California plant and delivered to Johnson Pontiac in Colorado Springs. It was then prepped and picked up by it's new owner August 17th 1971.
Total invoice price with options was $4422.65.With his military discount of $658.65 his out the door price was $ 3878.03.
His new GTO didn't sit still long after graduation he drove his new Pontiac from Colorado Springs to Boston...then onto San Antonio Texas and ended his trip in Sacramento CA.Then a year of flight training-then assigned to Clark AFB in the Phillipines ...Thomas could not take his GTO with him so it was put up for sale in April of 1973.By that time the car had covered 24,000 miles and was in excellent condition.
Purchased by another GI in California it stayed there until 1984 then onto Grand Forks North Dakota until 1986 then moving to Witchita Kansas and staying there until June 2006.
By 2006 the GTO had accumulated 99,139 well cared for miles.That is when I purchased the car. The odometer now reads 99,298 miles....So in the last 7 years it has covered 159 miles-all going to local car shows.
This car is a real time capsule... totally unmolested-totally unabused and well cared for it's entire life.
The Cameo white paint is in amazing condition as is the interior right down to the GM floor mats that cost $13.65 when delivered.

The engine has never been apart with the exception of a Timing chain replacement at about 85,000 miles which included lifters-all GM replacement parts.
If you ever wondered what a 1971 GTO would have driven like in 1971 this the car.2 pumps and it starts right up-no smoke-no drama-no noises ...very quiet inside no air leaks.The doors close with a nice solid sound-just like it did when it left the factory.
I have restored cars and cars that have never been touched....but there is something about a car that has never been apart-they just feel different and drive different.
They are only original once and it makes a difference.
All paperwork included
Build sheet
Dealer invoice
Protect-O-Plate

Glove box Folder with all hand outs

It's time for someone else to be the caretaker of this rare Pontiac.
Thanks for looking

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion
Fri, May 27 2016The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.

Gordon Murray, F1-driven production and .. the Pontiac Fiero
Tue, Oct 31 2017Gordon Murray's design and engineering chops are unquestionable. But does his carmaking approach owe something to the short-lived Pontiac Fiero, a scrappy little car program that emerged from GM against serious resistance? Murray had a Formula One career that ran from 1969 to 1991, with stints at Brabham ('69 to '86) and McLaren ('87-'91), that resulted in several shelves' worth of trophies for the cars he was instrumental in designing. He moved on to McLaren Cars, the consumer side of things, where, during his tenure from 1991 to 2004, he helped design the McLaren F1 and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, two cars that took learnings from his two decades in Formula One. What do all of these cars have in common? Three things: They are light. They were built in limited numbers. And they were (and are) exceedingly expensive—when the McLaren F1 debuted in 1994, it stickered at $815,000. Murray went on to establish Gordon Murray Design in 2007. GMD has created some interesting concept vehicles, such as the diminutive T.25 city car (94.5 inches long, 51.1 inches wide and 55.1 inches high), and the OX, a lightweight truck for the developing world that packs like an IKEA shelf and is working toward realization through a worthy crowdfunding campaign established by the Global Vehicle Trust. Now he has created a vehicle manufacturing company, Gordon Murray Automotive, that will use manufacturing methods that he developed under the moniker "iStream." Unlike a unibody, there are the "iFrame," a cage-like construction made with metallic components, and the "iPanels," which are composite. The panels aren't simply a decorative skin; they actually provide structure to the vehicle. Presumably this has something of the F1 monocoque about it. Going back to the three elements, (1) this arrangement results in a vehicle that can be comparatively light; (2) Murray has indicated that his manufacturing company will be doing limited-run production; and (3) to launch Gordon Murray Automotive they are going to be building a flagship model, about which Murray said, "With our first new car, we will demonstrate a return to the design and engineering principles that have made the McLaren F1 such an icon." Which seems to imply that it will be on the pricey side. According to the company's verbiage, "iStream forges an entirely new production method that defies conventionality with its Formula One-derived construction and materials technologies." It also sounds a whole lot like ...
