This is an Ebay relist because of a winning bidder who states his bid was a hijack, and he never bid, which I feel is a lie.  I know the train of thought is that something is wrong with the car, but there is not, it is everything I state below. To reiterate, "0" transaction members bids will be cancelled without prior contact, and now if I feel a bidder is not truthful or "real", or have negative feedback/comments without resolve, I am going to have the discretion to cancel their bid. I like my auctions clean, fair, with a positive result. This is not a game, I will not kill this car with constant relisting, this is it. So again...

 Up for auction is this real 1970 GTO Judge hardtop. Full original matching numbers drivetrain, and loaded with nice options. Documented with PHS and original build sheet (just removed) from top of gas tank, and owners manual. Recently discovered and taken out of dry storage, sitting since 1984, this car is perfect to be restored, or drive as is. The original Ram Air WS engine, 4 speed transmission, and 3.23 safe-t-track rear differential are present. 

The factory option list on this car is impressive. Delivered to Eddie Ruch Pontiac, Inc. in Wheaton, IL, this car was ordered with: Granada Gold exterior, Sandalwood interior, Sandalwood cordova top, 4 speed transmission, console, power windows, air conditioning, power bucket seat, rally gauges with in-dash tach, am/fm radio, 8-track stereo tape player, formula steering wheel, remote mirror, power disc brakes, power steering, safe-t-track, front and rear floor mats, luggage lamp, G70x14 white letter tires, The Judge, soft ray glass, and ride and handling package. 

Factory air conditioning, power windows, 4 speed, and lots of power options, is pretty rare find on a '70 Judge!

Original VIN stamped engine, #12 cylinder heads, original intake, and ram air exhaust manifolds. Distributor is a '70 GTO 350 hp unit, the voltage regulator and horn relay are original. Quadrajet carburetor is a '70 GTO #7040264, alternator, and starter are not original. A/C compressor and brackets are missing. The engine appears to have been rebuilt/repainted. Original VIN stamped transmission, working back drive lock linkage, and XF coded rear differential.

Upper and lower ram air pans are present, upper is the steel original, lower is an early fiberglass repro, assuming early 1980's. The air cleaner lid is also a replacement.  The ram air cable bracket is still under the dash, though the cable and flapper assembly in the hood are missing. 

The interior is original, with factory shifter, console, and Judge glovebox door. Headliner and visors are nice with no tears or holes, all the original seat belts in place. The power driver seat, 8-track player, radio and horn button are missing. The driver seat cover has rips and wear, passenger seat has some wear, rear is fine.  The carpet had been changed to black, and '71 GTO sport rear view mirrors added, probably with the old yellow paint job, done prior to '84.  The dash pad is cracked on the top, and the radio area had been cut for an aftermarket stereo with 6x9 speakers in the rear. 3 original dated Rally II wheels still in place, and one '72 wheel are on the car. Belted TA tires are new from '84, but flat spotted.

The body, and frame, are overall very clean and solid. There is some rust in the rear 1/4 panels, and wheel openings. Normal dings and imperfections in some panels, not terrible. The worst rust is in the driver side floor, it is rusted through, but not in the toe kick area or under the seat. Trunk floor and jamb is very solid, clean and nice. The trunk lid is rusted on the lower edge/lip. The fenders look to have been repaired, and patched, assuming dented and repaired too. The rear bumper is in decent shape, the doors are solid, and usable, needing typical repairs. 

The car runs nice even after sitting for 30 years. Installed new tune up parts, brake work, fuel and coolant systems flush, it runs with no major ticks, knocks, or smoke. Tachometer, gauges, dash lights, turn signals, and power windows work, speedometer does not.

A rust free trunklid, and a mint complete sandalwood dash pad with an uncut dashboard will go with the purchase of the car. I also have many other nos parts needed if restoration is desired, but these parts are at an extra cost. 

Again, this car runs and drives, so if you desire an original, little rough around the edges real '70 Judge to fix and drive, here it is. If you want a very nice resto project that will result in one rare desirable car when done, this fits the bill.

Inspections, and questions are always welcome, and encouraged. Remember, bidders with "0" transactions, your bid will be cancelled unless you contact me prior to bidding. The car may sell locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction early

Thanks!

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
