1968 Pontiac GTO the real deal. Not a clone. Original 242 car.

This is a project car that's fairly complete. It has been sitting since the early 1980's. It starts and can be driven, but would recommend trailering. I have driven it around the block and in and out of the garage.

PHS states it as nightshade green, black interior, black vinyl top, buckets, console, clock, automatic with factory Hurst dual gate shifter, 3.36 gears with open carrier, power steering, factory power disc brakes, soft ray glass, Rally II wheels (correct codes), hide away headlights.

Engine/tranny: are not original. It has a good running 1970 YH code 455 block casting #9799140 with 1967 #143 heads, Edelbrock street dominator intake manifold, Holley 4brl carb, headers, dual exhaust and 1969 turbo 400 trans. The engine does not knock or smoke. Tranny shifts as it should. Battery is brand new.

Body: Car will need full 1/4's, wheelhouses, trunk pan, rear window filler panel, left front fender can be saved right I would replace, floor will need some patches but not full pans. Both doors will need patching—or skins. Rockers are solid in and out. Roof has a hole near front of windshield left over from moisture from vinyl top. Trunk lid has been repaired. Hood can be saved. Front valence is dented but solid. Inner fenders are good. No rust around front windshield. Endura is straight. Rear bumper should be replaced.

Frame: Right frame rail just below the fender dog leg has been repaired and metal finished with two small butt welded plates. Factory contours intact. The rest of the frame is solid.

Interior: All there minus the carpet. Front seats will need new foam and be recovered. Door panels, quarter interior panels, kick panels, rear seat are very nice. Dash pad is near perfect. Steering wheel is very nice. Dash has been cut for a radio. Glove box door and its' interior are very nice. Center console needs to be recovered.

Glass: All soft ray glass is good with no separations and minimal scratches. Front windshield appears new.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob 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.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
