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

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
