I am selling this 1967, GTO, 455, 4 spd car. There is a story about this car that needs to be told for anyone interested in purchasing it. First off, IT DOES HAVE A CLEAR TITLE. It IS A 242 VIN CODE car. I first heard about this car back in Feb 2014. It belonged to a guy that my sister is married to. They called my father needing money saying they had this car they were going to sell. He called me because I know A-bodies (I have 2 Chevelles, and have had probably a dozen in my life). I looked at the car and purchased it because they needed money, and I had thoughts of putting the BUCKET SEATS and the complete 4 spd assembly into my Chevelle I am currently doing an LS swap in. I thought, I would just sell the 455, use those components, and sell the rest of the car. On March 8th, 2014, I went to get the car. It was hard getting this car home because it had been pushed into the owners back yard 20 years ago, which happened to be on the side of a mountain in North Georgia. I wasn’t told this up front. This was VERY costly in itself. It took 7 hours to extract the car and get it loaded. We ended up breaking a tow truck’s boom winch and cable in the process, and used a second tow truck. After I got it home, on March 9th, 2014, and I verified the VIN was truly a GTO, and I realized it was originally an A/C car with POWER BRAKES, I thought maybe I would keep it for myself, or I still had my back up plan with the seats and 4spd. My wife informed me she loves MY Chevelle with the original bench seat so I decided not to use those components. The car has sat in the backyard since then, and the grass has started growing. I don’t plan to keep it, and since I am doing a aframe off on my original 65 Chevelle Wagon and an LS swap in my 72 Chevelle, this one would sit far too long. So, I am selling it. What I know about the car is. The owner had hydroplaned on his way home from work one night, and hit another car not once, but twice while spinning. He put Lemans front fender, and hood on it, and am upper grill valance. The spin caused him to hit with the rear bumper on the second hit, which (look at the pictures) caused the quarter panels to shift, but NOT even break the tail lights. I don’t know how, but that’s how it is now. THE BODY: Needs both rear quarters, a trunk pan, and rear wheel houses. The floor boards aren’t completely gone but have rust. The drivers door has rust at the bottom rear door skin at the seam. The grills and bumpers aren’t with the car. I have no idea where they went to. I do have the lower rocker panel stainless for both sides, all the glass is good, as is most of the trim. The doors open and close well, and the gaps on them are still good, which means the rest of the body can be indexed off that gap. The INTERIOR: The original front bucket seats and the original rear seat are in unbelievable condition to me. I included pictures. It didn’t come with a console, but it does still have the HURST SHIFTER installed. The dash has the RALLY PACK, and AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS. The dash is in great shape also. The MECHANICALS: It has the COMPLETE drive train in it. The original 400 was replaced long ago with a 1971 Bonneville 455. That’s the last of the high HP 455s, which was rated at 280hp. In 1972 they 455s went to 200 hp. This si IMPORTANT. I removed the radiator and fan so I could gain access to the crankshaft bolt to try to turn the motor over without cutting myself. GOOD NEWS. The motor does turn over with just a 1/2 inch ratchet and socket. The original 10 bolt is in the car also. The original owner (which I got the car from) had put 15 inch TRANS AM SNOWFLAKE wheels on it. They actually don’t look that bad, but I preferred the Rally wheels (of which I have 3). The radiator, fan, and a NEW OFFENHOUSER 4bbl aluminum intake are in the trunk, but I cant get it open now, and just broke the lock. I don’t want to pry on it since the deck lid id still in good shape. Ok, I hope I have told all the story. If I remember anything else I will add it to the auction. My reserve is VERY LOW as compared to what the individual parts would cast if sold separately, but I don’t feel like parting this car out. Just an FYI tidbit, the RESERVE PRICE is set very low. The 455, 4 speed, and especially the bucket seats together are worth more than the reserve is set. |

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek
Tue, Jul 11 2017Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.

Junkyard Gem: 2006 Pontiac Solstice
Wed, Sep 4 2019The debut of the Pontiac Solstice, back in 2005 for the 2006 model year, stirred up much excitement in the automotive world. Sales were brisk at first, and then they weren't so great… and then Pontiac itself went under The General's cost-cutting axe. One thing I have learned during my junkyard travels is that even sought-after sports cars eventually reach a point at which they start showing up in the big self-service junkyards. For example, the BMW Z3 began appearing in such yards about five years ago, along with the Audi TT. While the Honda S2000 still appears to be exempt from this process, today's Junkyard Gem shows that the time has now come for the Pontiac Solstice/Saturn Sky. The first Z3s and TTs I saw in the U-Wrench-type yards were crash victims, not worth fixing, and that's the case with this Solstice. In a few more years, I'll start seeing the occasional Solstice/Sky discarded due to general worn-outness. Someone grabbed all the undented front body parts and the transmission (these items, presumably, being valuable), but no junkyard shoppers have felt like pulling the non-turbo 2.0-liter Ecotec. The interior seems dirty, probably from exposure to the elements while sitting outdoors in this Colorado Springs wrecking yard, but not in bad shape otherwise. Perhaps the car's owner celebrated a return from Iraq with the purchase of a sporty new Pontiac, 13 years ago. These cars have an enthusiastic following, so I wasn't expecting to see a junked one so soon after production ceased. I felt the same way about the Chrysler Crossfire, however, and I found two of those last year. What's next, a 2002-2005 Thunderbird? This content is hosted by a third party.
