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

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
