This is NOT another wrong motored, green on green, average, base 350 hp GTO you see everywhere on the market. This is 1 of only 3140 1968 360hp 400 HO GTO’s produced with complete PHS docs.  It is a one owner car bought new in San Diego in late 1967. Check out the vintage HURST TIRES sticker!  Hurst made tires?!? I bought it from the son of the mother that bought it new (she must’ve been a pretty cool mom). It is an all numbers matching, truly investment grade car that has just undergone a complete restoration. It looks as good in person as it does in the pix. The original YZ block has the matching vin stamped on front of engine and the born with PX-68 turbo 400 transmission with matching vin stamp as well. It is a power steering, power drum brake car with less than 2000 miles on the rebuilt engine and trans. It is an original and rare Meridian turquoise with white interior car sporting period correct redline tires on Ralley II rims, hideaway lights and a complete and correct for 1968 Ram Air setup. The hideaway light setup has all new vacuum actuators and hardware and operates flawlessly. The wheel opening and rocker mouldings are new as are the emblems.   Having spent most of its life in sunny southern California the car has never seen rust. The floors, trunk, quarters, fenders, doors ect are all original to this car. The body was completely stripped down to bare metal, sprayed in PPG epoxy primer and then primed and blocked multiple times and then sprayed in the correct original Meridian turquoise. The underside and motor compartment were cleaned thoroughly and resprayed the correct semi gloss black and both look better than when they were new! The trunk only needed cleaning and recoating in the correct spatter paint. The rear bumper and tail lights are new. New shocks. The engine is relatively stock with a slightly larger cam, Crane roller rockers, bored .030, Holley 750 cfm 4 bbl carb and a Petronix electronic ignition setup and distributor, all performance upgrades that really woke up the motor. The heads and exhaust manifolds are original. This car is making close to 400 hp and runs very strong in any gear.  While most of the interior was still in good shape the front seat covers, headliner and carpet are new. Original Hurst His & Her shifter. It also has a new windshield. Rear end is the original 10 bolt with a posi and 3:73 gear and it has a complete new exhaust system.

 

True Pontiac enthusiasts already know this but in the Pontiac world real value is in the originality of the car. If your in the market for a nice GTO don’t throw away your money on a non-original car with the wrong motor and/or trans. You WILL sell it some day. Wouldn’t you like to not only get your investment back but actually make a profit?

I have done my best to describe this car but there is no accounting for individual taste. As usual winning bid is NOT an invitation to inspect but a legally binding contract to purchase. This car is available for inspection anytime prior to auction ending.  I urge any interested parties to either inspect car themselves or send someone to act as their agent. YOU WIN THE AUCTION I EXPECT YOU TO PAY FOR THE CAR. This car is sold without warranty. 20% non-refundable down pymt due 3 days after auction end. Vehicle must be picked up within 3 weeks or storage charges will apply.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac 6000 LE

Sat, Dec 2 2017

Sibling to the Chevrolet Celebrity and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, the Pontiac 6000 sold pretty well during the early-to-middle 1980s, but had been relegated to the dealership bargain bin and fleet-car cul-de-sac by the time of Operation Desert Shield. Here's a final-year-of-manufacture 6000 LE that I photographed in an Arizona self-service wrecking yard. This car was sold new in Arizona, and it will be crushed in the same state, 26 years later. The LE was the cheapest trim level for the 6000 in 1991, but the original purchaser of this car sprang for a few options. For example, instead of the utterly miserable 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, this car packs the 3.1-liter V6. That meant 140 horsepower instead of 110, plus an engine note more like a vacuum cleaner sucking up a spaghetti spill than an ailing blender chewing on walnuts. AM, FM, and cassette. Not only that, but the auto-reverse feature meant that your mixtape cassette wouldn't stop right in the middle of your favorite Roxette tune. This content is hosted by a third party.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here 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.

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
