1968 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Junction, Illinois, United States
Just email me at: diedreokino@netzero.net . This beautiful GTO has been frame off, rotisserie restored with the highest attention to detail. Everything about
this car says "here I am". The car is PHS document certified and included. It is also an original HO 4 speed
documented GTO,1 of which only 6,187 were made out of the 77,000. The car has aprox. 2600 miles on it since the
restoration was completed, mostly to shows and has never seen a day of bad weather. Restoration included a
completely rebuilt XH code ,370HP engine built to ram air specs with a performance cam that gives the car a
wonderful, sweet sounding rumble at idle, as well as aluminum roller rockers with # 13 heads. An original ram air
carb, and a Pextronics ignition distributor with date coded ignition wires. The power then goes to a 4- speed
Borg-Warner Super T10 transmission and ends at the 4 pinion posi 3.55 rear end. This car not only runs well, it
handles even better. It actually rides and handles better than some newer cars, with an unmatched power and sound
to go with it. The dual Flow Master exhaust sounds deep and throaty and looks just as good with original 1968 GTO
chrome exhaust tips. Its riding on BF Goodrich tires mounted on Crager SS rims. The front tires are 70 series with
an attention grabbing 60 series tire on the rear. Rear shocks are genuine GM after market air shocks to provide the
extra height and smooth ride. This car comes with all the attention getting details a show car deserves. Rear air
spoiler, show quality chrome trim, front air scoops with a working hood tach. Black leather bucket seats up front
with a show quality leather console in between. The car has been fitted with a Digital REV limiter and is mounted
in the glove box. A fuel warning light has also been added during restoration. Tilt wheel steering and an AM/FM CD
player round out the interior comfort features.
This car looks as good underneath as it does above. The under carriage and pan has been painted carousel red to
match and the frame has been painted a gloss black. The under carriage is also all factory tag coded and show ready
as the photos show. Its best described as a trailer queen both upper and lower. Too many items to list here, Glass,
trim, entire front end, bushings, control arms, weather stripping, and much,much more. This is undoubtedly one of
the cleanest and nicest cars you will come across.
Car is being sold as is with no implied or expressed warranty. Car is also being sold locally and we reserve the
right to terminate auction at any time due to sale.
I will do my best to answer any and all questions.
Thanks, and good luck.

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.
Junkyard Gem: 2007 Pontiac G6 GT Convertible
Sun, Jan 8 2023GM's Pontiac Division sold its first convertibles during the 1927 model year (just a year after the division's creation), then proceeded to offer memorable drop-tops for most of the following 83 years. The best-selling convertible to bear Pontiac badges during our current century was the retractable-hardtop-equipped G6, available from the G6's introduction in 2006 through the second-to-last model year of 2009 (the Sunfire convertible was available just through 2000, while the Firebird convertible vanished with the demise of the slow-selling Firebird itself after 2002). Here's one of those G6 GT convertibles, found in a Denver-region boneyard after a crash ended its driving career. Mashed right front, popped airbags. This sort of damage might have been worth repairing in 2009, but not today. The 2007 G6 was available as a coupe, sedan, or convertible. All the convertibles had the GT trim level and the 3.5-liter V6 and its 224 horsepower. The MSRP on this car was $28,750 (about $42,325 in 2022 dollars), making it the most expensive G6. The power hardtop roof folded up into the trunk, leaving 1.8 cubic feet of trunk storage space with the top down. This Karmann-designed roof system made the interior much quieter than that of a traditional soft-top convertible. All G6s were built at Orion Assembly in Michigan, where Chevy Bolts are born today. The G6 was built through the 2010 model year, making it one of the very last Pontiac models (the Vibe also made it to 2010, though it was really a Toyota Matrix). In hindsight, 2007 turned out to be an ominous year for GM.Â

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.
