Its not too often that one of these vehicles becomes available. This car belonged to my dad and I am selling if for my mom. For most of it's life (and mine) it has been stored in a climate controlled garage. It was purchased around 1980 and was meticulously maintained. I believe the previous owner had the paint done, but it is in great shape for being 30+ years old. This car is also 99% stock. Nuts and bolts are all original and the car took 2nd place in the 9th Annual International Meet of the GTO Association of America in 1988. I was told by my dad, that the only reason it didn't take 1st was due to the aftermarket gauge pod under the dash (he never trusted the dummy lights).

I have a ton of paperwork on the car including maintenance receipts, original window sticker, and PHS documents with reproduction window sticker. I just recently removed the car from storage in our barn and had it gone over from top to bottom. Surprisingly, it had no major issues after sitting mostly unused (I remember 3 times in my life and I'm 31 yrs old) for 30+ years. The brakes were completely overhauled. The carburetor was rebuilt and all of the electrical was checked. New factory correct (whitewall) radials were put on the car for drive-ability. Light polishing of the chrome to restore the luster and careful cleaning were performed to leave the car in "un-restored" condition.

All of this work was completed by a classic car restoration expert. This is a man who is asked to go to high-end auctions to buy very expensive cars for very wealthy people. He also has made a career of working on these cars and specializes in full classic car restoration. His credentials are endless. Anyway, he was taken aback by the vehicle and what miraculous condition it is in.

The engine is a 389 with a stock 4 bbl setup (remember, this is 99% original). It has a 4 speed transmission with a posi-track rear-end. The top is electric and works great. There is also the original wood steering wheel. It has dual exhaust and starts up and runs great.

The pictures tell most of the story but please do not hesitate to contact me with questions. This car is for the purest who wants the original GTO - the first year of this legacy. It will not disappoint

**Please note that despite this car not having a "5N" code on the data plate, it has been certified as an authentic GTO by PHS. Only 2 plants used this coding, Pontiac and Kansas City. This is a California car and Freemont did not use the "5N" designation. Also, for what it is worth the original window sticker has the matching VIN and Gran Turismo Omologato option clearly listed**

**The heads are 716 and the engine is 78X. I have additional pictures of the castings and stamp**

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
