For Sale As Is
I don't even Know what to say. I can't believe I am selling this car. I bought it last May from Texas Classic Cars of Dallas. They are a very reputable dealer of classic cars. I am enduring the worst financial hardship of my life right now and am forced to sell it. The car is in wonderful condition. I only put about 500 miles on the car in the time I have owned it and was complimented almost every time I took her out. This car has a beautiful paint job and very, very nice lines. The convertible top is practically brand new and the black leather interior looks new as well. The carpet is top notch as well as the rest of the interior. It looks to have been restored within the last 3yrs I believe. The odometer reads 64902 and spins as it should. The wear on the brake and gas pedals seem to match the mileage but I cannot guarantee that the mileage is original as usual. The lettering and symbols appear to be in like new condition except the bird on the gas tank door. It shows some wear. The engine compartment is very clean and has many upgrades from original factory parts. The carburetor is an edelbrock and there are headers and aftermarket radiator hose and thermostat. The car starts up great and runs beautifully. I know the front floor pans were replaced. It rides on 14 inch factory wheels and looks great like that. The tires are in excellent shape and look to be quite new. I have many factory parts that were replace by aftermarket upgrades that I am including with the car. A very vintage car at a low start price with a low reserve. If you want a gorgeous classic car to cruise for the summer, now is your chance. The radio is some 1980s p.o.c. cassette player that doesn't work but at least the owner that put it in did not cut up the dash to install it so you can still put in the factory original parts if you get them. I had big plans for this car to be with me for a long time but my current financial outlook causes me to sell. If you have any questions please ask

The only mechanical issue I have had with this car is very minor. It starts and runs great but I think the solenoid in the starter is either going bad or the magnets in the starter get hot and lock up. When the car runs for a while and gets hot, the starter doesn't want to fire so I get a blank start. No noise or attempt to turn the engine over. It doesn't happen except for when it has already been running for a bit. The first key turn starts her right up and she idles and purrs perfectly. It only happen when it has been running for a while so my mechanical mind tells me that the solenoid in the starter needs replaced but I haven't owned the car long enough since the discovery of the problem to get it remedied. Just being completely honest. It is a very minor problem and can be fixed for less than $500 I would guess. If you know what you are doing you can probably fix it for less than $100. Other than that, it is darn near perfect. I don't know if the numbers match or not. I haven't gone through those hoops but was planning on it. The motor looks to be original but I really don't know a lot about the whole numbers matching check process to enlighten you all on that... Gorgeous car, runs great, sounds great, looks great! Just that one minor issue...

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh
Tue, Jan 31 2017The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
