1967 PONTIAC GTO HARDTOP

REAL GTO WITH DOCUMENTATION

 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION....POWER STEERING

 NICE BULE METALIC PAINT...LOOK LIKE GM MIRINA BLUE

DECENT INTERIOR.. parchment color

NICE RALLIES WITH BF GOODRICH TIRES 

 

NUT SHELL TIME SAVER!  This a nice looking car, its a nice driver quality, its no $100,000 roll out of the trailer show queen. It runs good, it starts good, it looks good, its not perfect. If your looking for a 100 point show car for a bargain price "keep looking", if your looking for a looking for a good driver quality this may be for you. The prices on a real GTO have gone crazy, my real price is $16,999, study my price compared to the others on ebay motors and other sites. The car is priced fair.

 

I do not show cars on Sunday! I worship on Sunday, I spend time with my family, I'm almost 67 years old and need some rest. I love cars and will help you 6 days a week, but not on Sunday. I'm a retired auto mechanics instructor and was a helicopter mechanic and instructor in the Army in the late 60s. I will check my email a couple of times.

 

WILL I SELL THE CAR OFF EBAY MOTORS? I'm not crazy, I will sell to you direct. Come look, or if you have lots of nerve buy direct. I'll tell you what to do later in my listing. I know most guys use ebay for research and don't trust buying without coming to inspect. I welcome you to come and look the care over.

VIN    242177P151313     HISTORY: I can't tell you a thing other than it was owned by a man near Cincinnati, Ohio.

 

 

 TITLE: Clear  title in hand with a VIN that matches, I am a mechanic, but I have dealers license to keep things legal, title will be transferred from me as a dealer.

 

IS THIS A REAL GTO? I think if you run the VIN you will find that it is, their is documents in the car that says it is, looks like the build sheet also.

 

IS THERE ANY RUST PROBLEMS?     No rust bubbles in the paint, the underside is ugly, its not painted smooth and shinny, but the frame looks solid, the floors look original with some small patching, the mounts look good, its no a restored underside, its a driver.

 

IS THERE ANY ACCIDENT DAMAGE? None that I can find.

 

WHY AM I SELLING THIS CAR? I’m a classic car restorer, but when I find a vehicle I like and can sell for a fair market price, I buy it fix a few things and resell.

 

PAINT: The paint has a brilliant shine, no dents, no dings, the car is more than reasonable straight to look down the sides, I see a couple of chips that have been touched up, I see a very tiny crack at the corner of where the drip rail ends, it touched up and very small.  The color looks like Chevrolets marina blue, its a medium blue with lots of metallic.  I'm giving you a picky paint job inspection, the paint would be consider real nice. Past owner saved the left over paint from the paint job and its still good.

 

CHROME:      Very nice chrome, the bumpers look like they were just rechromed, the headlight bezels great, grill good, emblems good other than faded paint, vent window frames have some dulling. The large rocker panel molding are great as well as the drip rail molding.

 

 

INTEROR:  The interior has no bad smells, it is not new, but good with no real wear, the dash no cracks, the door panels are good, the headliner looks like new, the carpet decent, the painted semi flat trim on the doors is faded and dull. 

 

UNSERSIDE: 

 It is good, but ugly!!!!!!!!!!  The frame is solid, the body mount look good, the floors look original, but have some small patching, some rusty color surface metal, the rear drop downs have some rusty edges on the thin metal. I consider the car structurally solid, but un-restorer and ugly. 

 

GLASS:  The glass is good, the windshield looks like new, the side windows look good used condition, the back window good. The window roll up and down good other than the drivers side quarter window, its goes up and down but does better if you help it.

 

 

SOUND SYSTEM: Original AM radio hums, but does not play.

 

HOOD TACHOMETER WORKS!

 

 

ENGINE: The engine runs good, its a 6.6 V8, 400 cubic inch. It runs good, no knocks, no rattles and no blue smoke. It has a Edelbrock carburetor.

 

EXHAUST SYSTEM:  Nice sounding exhaust system, its old but usable and has cheap parts store tips and pitted pipes, but no holes or leaks.

 

TRANSMISSION: 

Turbo 400 that shifts good with no slip, this is a 3 speed automatic. It needs a dust cover.

 

REAR-END: No whines or growls, it original and has highway gearing.

 

BRAKES:

Drum brakes all around and they stop decent, no power assist.

 

STEERING: The steering is good, the car is power steering.

 

WHEELS AND TIRES : 14 inch Pontiac Rallies with good BF Goodrich 235/60/14 tires.

 

LIGHTS and wiring: The head lights work, the tail lights work, the brake lights work and the turn signals work.

Interior  dome light works.

 

 

THE GAS GAUGE WORKS! SPEEDMETER WORKS! Horn not working! Wipers work!  Heater blower works.

.

GUAGES: The gauges are old school and in a pod under the dash.

 

HOW DO THE DOORS AND HOOD OPEN AND CLOSE? They open and close good.

 

HOW IS THE RUBBER WEATHER-STRIPPING? Soft and good.

 

HOW IS THE BODY PANEL FIT? I consider it good other than the trunk fit, a lot of the fit problem is tight rubber.

 

 

TRADES: Please no trades, they never work out and are just too hard!

 

The rest of the information is boring unless you are really interested in buying the vehicle, its just buying details like shipping, paperwork, who I am, where the car is located and how to pay and contact information.

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO STOP THE LISTING AT ANY TIME. THE CAR IS FOR SALE ON THE LOCAL MARKET.

 

WHERE THE CAR IS LOCATED: The car is here at my garage in Athens, Tennessee. Athens is in east Tennessee, we are 50 miles south of Knoxville and 50 miles north of Chattanooga. Look at a Road Atlas and follow interstate 75 south from Knoxville. I live one mile and one turn from the interstate exit. My zip code is 37303. The closest large airport is Knoxville. Athens does have a good small airport, but has no commercial flights.

 

WHO YOU ARE BUYING FROM: My name is Ron Watson and I live in the small town of Athens, TennesseeAthens is called the friendly city”. We are located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains in east Tennessee “I am truly qualified to be called a Hill Billy”. I am almost 66 years old and work with my son Keith who is now 41. I am now retired and living my dream restoring, selling and improving classic cars. For 12 years I was an auto mechanics instructor at Tennessee Technology Center here in Athens. I am also a veteran of the US Army; I served as a Chinook helicopter mechanic, crew chief and instructor in the late 60s, I did spend a year in Vietnam.

US OR EXPORT “I like Nations Auto Transport. They are located in Kansas City.

Contact: Jim Page his office number is 816-295-6887 and his email is jpage@shipnat.com

 

MY AREA CODE FOR TRANSPORT: The area code for Athens, Tennessee is 37303. I live 1 mile off a major interstate (I-75) and 35 miles south of interstate 40, so transport is usually very fast.

 

PAYMENT: I require a $250 deposit for a Buy Now or to hold the car.

I will take paypal for the deposit, but not for full payment.

Option 1: Pay the old school way face to face.

Option 2: Pay by check, I will wait till the check clears, I have had

a fake bank certified check.

Option 3: The safest is to let our banks handle it, my bank is a

member of the US Federal Reserve, this is called wire

transfer. And its safe for both of us.

 

WILL I HOLD THE CAR UNTIL YOU GET HERE TO LOOK OR HAVE IT INSPECTED? Not without a $250 non-refundable deposit! I have held too many cars that people promise me they are going to buy and they never show up, their wife won’t let them buy it, they can’t get a loan or they just back out. Before you drive or fly a long distance you need to make sure the car is not sold. “The way I look at it is until you pay a deposit you’re just looking and dreaming”.

 

INSPECTIONS: Please come look and be happy. All inspections are required to be done before the end of the listing. I listed this car as I see it as a 66 year old car restorer, please come and judge it for your self. I judge the car to my standards, this may not be yours. Paid inspectors are unpredictable, you might get a good one, but some of them do not impress me at all,  they can make a good car sound bad on the report. They have to be very critical to cover their back sides and all their concerned about is getting paid. I understand how hard it is to buy a car without looking, but I think you should come look yourself. I don’t like paid inspectors, I like for the person that is buying to inspect for themselves. I think its fine to send a friend to inspect for you. To make it clear, don’t hit the buy now button and then inspect, come inspect first!

 

If you are not registered with ebay motors, I will work with you, "YOU CAN BUY DIRECT".

 

BOTTOM LINE: My firm price is $16,999 I'm asking more on the local market. The game is not rocket science, ask a price and come down. It’s not fun to bargain over the cell phone all day long with people that live 2000 miles away and are not going to buy anyway. My firm price is the Buy Now price. I have sold every car I have ever tried to, so I’m not motivated to be bargained down.

 

WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO SELL YOU THE VEHICLE WITH-OUT AN INSPECTION; YOU JUST HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF NERVE AND PLEASE DON’T BE A CRY BABY.

Read the ME section on the upper right hand part of the listing marked seller info.

Thank You,

Ron Watson cell: 423-506-8987 email: dreamcar@live.com

 

I am very careful about taking payment, I have had a fake certified check, it looked real and the buyer seemed real. I will take one, but I will check you out. I am ebay varified, that means you can buy ebays buyer protection plan and they will guarantee thats I'm real, they will not guarantee the car.

 

IS THERE A WARRANTY? No! Come inspect, judge and drive the vehicle all you want to because I do not offer a warranty on classic vehicles. Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type, they are the way I see the vehicle. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected this vehicle and to have satisfied himself or herself as to the condition and value and to purchase based upon that judgment solely. This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for the correct description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When 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:

2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags

Sat, Jan 31 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
