1970 Pontiac Gto Real Not Clone on 2040-cars
New Caney, Texas, United States
I have a 1970 Pontiac GTO for sale. I bought this car thinking I had time to mess with it some but I do auto restorations for a living and I am coming in to my busy time. This car was frame on restored about 6 years ago and purchased by am Army serviceman up in Washington State. He drove the car as an everyday driver for 4 years or so and got into a little fender bender and parked it. The 400 was rebuilt a few years ago and has less that 3000 miles on it and runs great. The 400 turbo transmission shifts great. I believe it has a 3.73 rear gear in it. The car is very solid but does have a few minor issues that I tried to take pictures of. The floors and trunk are as solid as they come. It looks like all body panels are original to the car with the exception of the left quarter panel. All gaps are great and door bottoms and edges are great. Backs and fronts of rockers are rock solid as well as the trunk lip. The car has manual drum brakes and after driving the car I understand why the fender bender accured. The brakes do need some attention. It will stop but it takes some foot pressure. The car has P/S and a heater. The engine bay was detailed up very nice when the car was painted. All the floors on the inside where cleaned and sprayed with some kind of good hardened undercoating as was the trunk. The interior is very clean but the seat buns have come apart a little inside. The dash has a crack in in but I think a cap would fix it. The car had a new painless wiring harness installed when it was restored. It does have some electrical issues though. Seems as though maybe the dash is not grounded because I am getting feedback through the gauges. I will probably look at a few of these issues as I get time. The car does run and drive fine but it is a small project for someone who has the time to work through a few of its issues. The wheels and tires are nice. I tried to take a picture of the cowl tag but it did not come out so I will type it in. If you have any questions or want to come take a look just let me know. 281-615-0551. The paint is enamel and looks good but it is 6+ years old. The body is very straight. If someone wanted me to fix the damage and repaint we can discuss.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
