1971 Gto 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Streamwood, Illinois, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Pontiac
Drive Type: manual 4 speed
Model: GTO
Mileage: 118,500
Trim: green
Up for auction is my 1971 GTO 4 speed. It's a real 242 car and a very rare color combo. Code 43 Tropical lime with a Jade green interior. This car runs very well and is reliable. The clutch and brakes are good. The exhaust has headers and a full system with no leaks, and has a nice rumble. The engine is not original but is a 400 with 1972 heads and is built with a cam, intake, headers etc. Pulls very strong and sounds quiet with no ticks, or funny noises. Has a close ratio trans and a short throw shifter with reverse lockout that shifts smooth. The wheels are nice and have good tires on them.
The interior looks pretty good. The dash is nice and all the lights work. All the electrical system works as it should, lights, horn. gas gauge, door buzzer, wipers, dome lights, etc, all working. Could use seat covers, carpet and headliner but looks good overall.
The body is a good start for a resto or drive like it is. The front clip is straight and fairly rust free. The hood has a small hole near the front but the edge is nice and it's not kinked by the hinges. The quarters and doors would be easy fixes with patch panels. Trunk and floor need some patches too.
I have driven this car over the summer and it has never let me down, It rides fairly smooth and is fast.
I only sell to the USA.
Thanks for looking.

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.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
