For your consideration is my 72 year old Fathers 1968 Pontiac GTO 6.6L

Here is what my father has to say about the car...

It was purchased new from showroom floor by an Executive's wife in Denver, Colorado (Porter Pontiac). I purchased the car in 1984 with 48,000 miles.I've always kept it in a garage and never drove it in the winter. It currently has 65,728 original miles and it is a 2-door coupe. 

  • Color is a beautiful soft Parchment Yellow with a white vinyl top and white vinyl interior. It has a rare low back bench seat and center fold down arm rest. 
  • Car is well equipped with the following 
    • Hideaway head lights
    • Endura front bumper
    • Power Steering
    • Power Brakes
    • Air Conditioning
    • Factory Window tint
    • 400 CID engine
    • Automatic turbo/hydromatic 400 transmission
    • Rally gauges, less tach
    • AM/FM radio with factory rear speaker and rare reverb option 
  • This isn't just the Old Man's muscle car...it has been performance enhanced but maintains a stock look!!
  • Enhancements include...
    • Professionally built 455 cid with Ram Air IV heads and matching cam 
    • 12 bolt/355 positraction rear end 
    • Slight better than stock stall converter with transmission shift kit 
    • Long Tube Headers and free flowing 3 inch exhaust
    • Aluminum intake and 2 year old performance carb

Other information...

  • New top and repaint approx. 12 years ago  
  • Original engine comes with the car but will need rebuilt 

Most Important!!!

Although it was repainted and had a new vinyl top put on 12 years ago, the car was NEVER a rust bucket or a wreck! No panels were ever replaced including the floors nor do they need to be, this has always been a super clean car and the interior is absolutely original and presents very well. I dare you to find one nicer that has not had a ground up restoration! This car was hot oiled twice from the inside then sealed several years ago to prevent rust.

In conclusion...

The car has only been driven a few times per year on short trips and therefore will need some love and attention that include a small transmission leak, it was rebuilt 2 years ago, engine compartment detail and the paint has began to crack on the endura bumper. The car also can easily be returned to factory with a simple rebuild and replacement of the current engine and exhaust change. An awesome cruise-in car!

NADA average retail pn good condition is $33,120 asking $28,500.00.

This car is for sale locally, a non refundable deposit of $500.00 is due no later than 24 hours upon an acceptable offer. There is no expressed or implied warranty and the car is available for viewing in NorthWest Ohio, which I highly recommend doing. Please ask questions and I will be happy to answer them for my Father.  The vehicle must be picked up no later than 7 days of auctions end or a $35.00 per day storage fee will be assessed unless arrangements have been agreed upon. Shipping is the buyers responsibility.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
