For sale is my beloved 1966 Pontiac GTO.
A true 242 car. This car is 90% restored with only the interior remaining. I did a complete frame-off restoration. I have pictures of everything to prove it. Engine/Trans are not numbers matching. I had a quote of approx $3000 to complete the interior by a local shop. The price of the car should reflect what I believe it would need.

Car was painted with Dupont ChromaBase / ChromaClear system. Included is extra paint and clear with activators and hardners in case any color matching would ever need to be done. Included will also be a flash drive of all the restoration pictures and a folder full of receipts for every purchase.
All original sheet metal.
No patching or filling.
I kept this car as original as it would have come from the factory. Manual steering, manual 4 wheel drum brakes, no A/C - the way a muscle car should be. I have a huge book with receipts for every dime I spent on the restoration.
The car was featured for the month of May in the 2012 Dwyer & Michaels car calendar. (A local contest)
I built this car to drive, not trailer. So, that said there are a few minor paint flaws, rock chips, etc. No rust, no rot, undercarriage painted and finished nice. There is a small ding in the hood where a bolt was caught in the fan and went up in the hood.
I have a clear IL title in my name and in my hand so there is no nonsense. Not looking to trade or mess around.
Car is located in Hampton, IL.
Three Zero Nine, Three One Four, Four Two Five Zero
Serious buyers only please.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine 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.
