This is a solid car - you will be happy. You turn the key and it roars! It is a daily driver that turns heads and gets noticed. I took it to a car show, and after being persuaded to enter it - it placed third! I have included several pics of the car. The paint is a fair older job that may need some TLC in the coming years, but from 10 ft. - it looks great. A few air pockets, but no breakthrough - look at the pics.
This was a Tempest Custom convertible with a V-6 and automatic that has been converted into a GTO. Big block 400, 4 speed on the floor and all correct badges. It has power brakes and steering and a really nice stereo as well. The amp is in the trunk, and it can be easily removed for a more "era correct" look. The rear speakers can be placed in the trunk of the back seat as shown if you usually drive with only two people.
The hidden headlights operate as they should and the convertible top does as well. A new switch has been installed to control the top and new fluid, lines and electrical hookups as well make the top glide just as it should. Everything works on the car but the gas gauge. Included is a hood mounted tach if you want to use it - or you can hook up the tach in the gauge cluster. I was going to go hood mounted, but I just haven't done it yet. The previous owner said the tach worked, but I have never hooked it up - you can shift this car by sound very easily!
As you can see in pics, this car is immaculate. I tried to get a few undercarriage pics without a lift, but they are not very good. The car is solid. You can actually drive it home, if you wish. It drives out great, and sounds even better. I would love for you to come look at it. I've had my fun - now it's someone else's turn. I am 51 and a cruiser, so you can rest assured that it hasn't been dogged!
Comes with hood tach, a brand new black era correct steering wheel, extra set of shocks, schematics and restoration info and whatever else I find that I have forgotten to mention. Why am I selling it? I have two Bronco's that I am working on (67 and 75), and I need to focus on them instead of heading to the lake every weekend in this Bad Boy! Look at my feedback - I've sold cars, motorcycles, boats, etc. I try to be as honest as I can - and I bet you like this car! I did when I got it, and I've only made it better! Please ask any questions - and Yes - I will help with shipping - if you go that route. I will warn you, though - there will be a few wires loosened in travel as well as a vac line or two. I had to go through the entire car when it arrived!
Payment has to clear - and I have a small note left on the car thru JJ Best Banc - so you can use them for financing - they've inspected the car! Got to pay them off to get your title, so it may be 72 hours or so after payment - They are quick!

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
