1971 Pontiac Gto Born-with Drivetrain Time Capsule Muscle Car on 2040-cars
Readstown, Wisconsin, United States
This special survivor car wears 100% of its original paint and interior
components (sans carpet and package tray) and has a completely born-with drivetrain, including important parts like
its carburetor, distributor, intake, and exhaust manifolds. The Judge has managed just over 99,000 miles
The engine, transmission, and rear axle are born-with factory original to this car. Other important components,
like the 455 H.O. only carburetor, distributor, intake, and exhaust manifolds are also born-with and on the car.
a complete tune-up, including plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and points
Hoses and belts
All fluids, including oil, transmission fluid, rear gear oil, coolant, and brake fluid. The entire fuel system
was also flushed. Note that the original gas tank has the build sheet attached in a such a way that it cannot be
removed without being ruined. A decision was made to mount a used '71 gas tank on the car and keep the original gas
tank for documentation purposes.
A no expense spared Gardner exhaust kit has been installed, which nearly perfectly mimics the factory exhaust
for this car. The original exhaust had several holes and the original mufflers had been replaced with glasspacks. I
have the original splitter tips, as they were still on the car. New exhaust manifold gaskets have also been
installed.
The Judge has new brakes on all four tires, including a master cylinder, drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, and
seals. Original parts were saved and will be included with the sale.
The clutch has been adjusted, along with the shifter linkage. The carburetor has been adjusted, and timing set
per Rocky Rotella's recommendation for the 455 H.O.
Tires are a set of reproduction Firestone Wide Ovals in the correct G70-14 size, because the original Uniroyal
Tiger Paw tires are not reproduced. The original spare tire is with the car and in the trunk.
The Judge starts, runs, and drives like it's 1971.... The 3 speed transmission is an
absolute blast to drive. and 2nd gear will put a smile on your face every time. The car pulls hard. A compression
test was performed when the brakes were done last fall at Park Automotive (Camaro Supercar fame) and the 455 H.O.
is healthy. With that said, she will puff a bit of blue after long periods of storage. It clears up with a drive
and doesn't reappear with semi-regular drives.
The radio works. The rear de-fog works. The horn works. All lights work, along with the directionals and hazards.
The gauges work. The reverse lockout works like it should.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium
Fri, Jun 12 2015Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
