The car has had a full ground-up restoration from Corbettes Auto in Western NC. Funds from three combat deployments and two re-enlistment bonuses went into a five year project. I have receipts of over $100,000.00 for parts and labor; an additional $10,500.00 for the purchase of the 2006 GTO and thousands more in transportation costs. I began the project as a bachelor. I am married and a father today. End of story.
Details:
Interior of car and underside have been coated with bed liner protection. Using PPG products,the body was put in primer and sanded, color coated and sanded, and five coats of clear applied and sanded. The paint is absolutely beautiful.
The car has a full custom interior from JNG Creations in NC. I am most grateful for the exquisite work this award winning shop did on the GTO; the price he gave me he stuck too and said if he had another one to do it would be triple the price. Using a combination of modified '06 GTO interior pieces and custom panels, they created my favorite part of the car: power seats, power windows, a stereo without the exterior antenna, power locks, and many milled aluminum custom touches.
The following systems and parts were transferred for the '06 GTO: LS2 engine and T56 six speed transmission (dyno tuned to 375 RWHP), wheel hubs and brakes (these will accept any custom wheel for the '06 GTO), wiring harness and engine control module, the entire floor pan and some interior pieces, and the air-conditioning.
Major NEW parts installed: Moser 12 bolt with 373 gears, Unisteer power rack and pinion steering, Edelbrock suspension components completely replace the old system, Forge Star 18" wheels with Hankook tires.
Deficiencies: warning lights on dash for ABS and airbag have not been turned off, hideaway headlights are not operating ( I have been waiting for the sale of a promised electric motor system kit.), AC needs charging.
All serious inquiries are welcome. As a combat MOS Marine, I am very often in the field but my father is always ready to respond ASAP.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
