WILL NEED BONDED TITLE WILL NEED BONDED TITLE
This is a 1968 Pontiac GTO. A real 242 GTO. Its quite rare as this is a basically a low to no-option car. This is a low option car, no power steering, no ac, no power brakes. It has a two barrel 400, but ive never tried to figure out if its the original motor or not. They did come that way, and judging by the fact that this is a no option car, its likely it is the original engine. It does have what I believe to be the original 3 speed manual transmission, it is the FOMOCO 3 speed. A Dearborn m13. The car has minimal rust. The floor pans are in great shape, trunk pan needs minor work Worst part of car is passenger quarter panel I think it must have sat with that side down and water collected in that part, because the drivers side looks like a completely different car. It looks as if the body was off at some point and the frame was painted. The front fenders are off of a LeMans Car has spare parts in the trunk. but if you dont see it in the pics, it isnt included with the car. It has been sitting under a carport for the last 4 years or so. Car has spent its entire life in Central Texas. I do have the Texas title to the car, however it was signed in the wrong spot many years ago. Two years ago I did do the paperwork for the bonded title, but then deployed overseas and never got around to it. Since I have the original paper title it is no problem to get a bonded title, just mainly the purchase price of the bond, which was $250 when I was going to do it before, but at the time just didnt have the funds. WILL NEED A BONDED TITLE IN TEXAS, Your state may vary. Buyer will need to get a bonded title if in Texas. I will include the bill of sale from my purchase of the car and a bill of sale from me to the new buyer. Car is located in RED ROCK TEXAS 78662. A NON REFUNDABLE $500 deposit is due immediately at end of auction, with full payment within7 working days. Car to be picked up within 20 days. Cash is Preferred for remaining balance. Personal Check is acceptable but must wait to clear before picking up car. Car must be removed from location within 20 days of the end of auction or car will be relisted and I will keep the deposit unless other arrangements are made. Buyer is to arrange all shipping. Car will need to be trailered. I am willing to deliver it within 300 miles of Red Rock TX at the cost of 1.50 a mile. WILL NEED A BONDED TITLE IN TEXAS. |

Porsche Syberia RS rally car is what you make when you need a Hummer that's fast
Fri, Apr 24 2020Some history: The Porsche 911's first-ever race was the 1965 Monte Carlo rally, entered because Porsche's PR man at the time wanted to show how much the future icon could do. A year later, Porsche began selling an optional rally kit for the 911 that included Recaro seats, a roll bar, and adjustable Koni dampers. Porsche produced factory rally racers until the early 1970s, winning Monte Carlo three times in a row before letting privateers carry the torch so the factory could focus on campaigning in the East Africa Safari. After years of painful lessons, when Porsche took its brand-new 1978 911 SC to the safari, the 3.0-liter flat-six coupe was hours away from winning the race before damaging the suspension, demoting the car to second place. Porsche fans wanted their own replicas, and finding the new 911 to be an affordable option, the SC — built from 1978 to 1983 — went from denoting "Super Carrera" to "Safari Car."  Porsche took a big step up in with the 953 rally car. Built to win the 1984 Paris-Dakar, which it did, the 953 introduced the four-wheel-drive system Porsche would evolve for the 959 in 1985 and the 964-series 911 in 1989, as well as the now-unforgettable 911-based Rothmans livery. All of this is what's fueling today's 911 Safari Car revival around the world. Almost all of today's builds start with the so-called G Model 911s, produced from 1973 to 1989, usually focusing on the SC and the Carrera that ran from 1984 until 1989. Fast forward to 2007 when a mysterious crew organized the TransSyberia Rally, a "sports-touring" event that stretched 4,500 miles from Moscow to the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. Of the 34 vehicles that entered, 25 were Porsche's purpose-built Cayenne S Transsyberia Edition. Put this all in a pot and you have the beginnings of the car that brings us here, the Syberia RS. It's said that a German fellow by the name of Kai Burkhard wanted to buy a Humvee, but the low top speed, around 50 miles per hour, put him off. So instead, he imported a 1986 911 "in collector condition" from Japan with the idea of rebuilding it to provide almost all the off-road fun he could have had in the H1. Burkhard tapped the Tailor Made department at German suspension designer H&R, and the two set to work creating a build like the 953 Dakar winner. This content is hosted by a third party.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
