Hello.  This is my 1967 Pontiac GTO coupe built in Fremont, CA. I have owned it for about 10 years. The restoration was completed 3 years ago and there have been 6K miles driven on it since then.  Most everything was replaced, restored, repaired or left alone. It had been in a garage in Aptos California, and was not touched in years.  The floor pans are all original and rust free. The drivers door is not original, it is a used door from another GTO not reproduction.

The engine is a 'YS' code 335HP 400ci and transmission is the TH400 His/Her Hurst automatic as per the build sheet that is included with the PHS documentation. The engine is not the original, but it was taken from an identical 1967 GTO. It took several years to locate a correct engine.  The engine compartment has been correctly detailed (as much as possible excluding markings and paper tags) as per the GTO restoration guide, including correct belts, hoses, clamps, battery top and spark plug wires.The carburetor (7027262) and intake(9786286) are correctly coded, as well as the 670 heads.  It also has HO exhaust manifolds.

The paint is a killer Harley Davidson Chopper Blue Pearl(Original Color was Cameo White) with 5 coats of clear. To me, its the nicest looking GTO color I've seen. It was voted #5 by the Ultimate GTO picture site.  http://ultimategto.com/cgi-bin/ratemewinner.cgi?year=1967 . The grill inserts, trim and bright work are all original (except rear bumper) and have been polished, anodized or re-chromed.  The trunk is fully detailed with the original jack instructions and correct fuel vent tube. 

Most of the front suspension is stock, with the steering gears changed to a quicker ratio. The rear suspension has the original sway bar that is part of the factory HD package(as per the PHS docs) and I installed boxed rear control arms. Stock drum brakes with correct Delco booster.   The wheels are chromed American Racing TTOs; 15x7. Tires are BFG 235/60/15 and 255/60/15. New body bushings were installed while the body and frame were separated.

The restored black interior is mostly stock, with the exception of a Grant wood steering wheel and RetroSound audio.  I have the original restored wheel, radio and front speaker that will be included. There is a power amp and subwoofer along with 2 6x9 3-way speakers in the rear and a dash mounted dual speaker in front.  The audio system can easily be removed are returned to stock. It has a rare dealer installed console mounted vacuum gauge.  The clock is NOS and works. All gauges and lights function.

It has been in several Good Guys shows and local car shows, getting awarded every time.  The GTO drives better than new, and is ready for any long haul.  I have been driving it regularly since it was completed. It is not a 100 point trailer queen. Any questions please email me, and I would encourage you to see and drive this car in person as it is truly a wonderful ride.  Needs nothing, so there is no work you need to do except put gas in it and drive.

Now for the not fun part - no low ballers or scammers.  I'm not a 'motivated' seller and not in a hurry, so please no wishful thinking. I know what this car is worth as well as you.  The vehicle will not be released until all funds are cleared as per my bank.  I've been truthful and accurate in my descriptions so its up to you if you would like to come see it or have it inspected. Its a great car that you would be proud to own, drive and show for years to come.

Thanks and happy bidding!!!!!

German prosecutors have recorded calls between VW bigwigs talking dieselgate

Thu, Mar 21 2019

It's barely possible to believe how poorly Volkswagen continues to handle dieselgate. Depending on which day you catch the news, the German carmaker embodies the corporate venality of "Michael Clayton," the comic blundering of the Coen Brothers' "Burn After Reading," and the every-man-for-himself vengeance of "Reservoir Dogs." Today is Tarantino day, with news that German prosecutors have recordings of phone calls between former Audi and Porsche development boss Wolfgang Hatz, ex-Volkswagen Group executive Matthias Muller, and current Porsche executives Oliver Blume and Michael Steiner. Hatz made the calls to the trio in November 2015, two months after Volkswagen admitted its diesel-particulate sins to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Hatz was still employed at the time, and in his company car. Who recorded the calls? His wife. Hatz and his missus apparently saw the storm coming and started stacking defenses early. Hatz's wife, who can be heard encouraging Hatz during at least one call, sent the recordings to Hatz's attorney from her mobile phone. According to a Google translation of the German newspaper Handelsblatt's report, she included the note, "Here is a very long, but quite informative conversation on the current situation with useful formulations." The report in Handelsblatt said that in Germany it is generally "not allowed" to record a conversation and pass it on to a third party. We don't know how the authorities will handle this matter, since prosecutors found the recordings in e-mail attachments on Mrs. Hatz's mobile phone. Remember, when the diesel scandal broke, VW spent months saying that only a small number of low-level personnel were behind it, and all of the higher-ups had been blindsided. Ex-CEO Martin Winterkorn claimed to be "stunned that misconduct on such a scale was possible in the Volkswagen Group." Winterkorn successor Matthias Muller said, "according to current information, a few developers interfered in the engine management." Former VW USA honcho Michael Horn told a congressional committee that "a couple of software engineers" programmed the software for reasons no one could understand. In the recorded conversations, Hatz apparently called Muller to find out how VW planned to treat him.

1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car

Mon, Nov 30 2020

Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video:   Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
