*  *  1968 Pontiac GTO  *  *

This is a project I bought about 10 years ago.  It was stored inside by the previous owner and has been inside since I've owned it.  I have come to the conclusion that with the other projects I have that I need to sell this one.

I will try to be clear on specifically what this listing includes.  Although this listing does not include everything needed to complete the project, for additional cost I have other parts available.  I have a couple of buildings with a lot of 60's Pontiac parts that I have accumulated over the years.  You can see some of the smaller parts in the background of some of the pictures.  The point is that depending on how you want to build this car, I probably have some parts that can help you out at a reasonable cost.  If you want pure muscle, I have a 421, 455, tri-power, ram air heads, etc.  If you want to go the restoration route, then I have a lot of original parts that can help with that as well.  Just keep in mind, this listing is specifically for the parts as described.

If possible, I encourage whoever buys this project to pick it up so we can work out something on extra parts, if interested.  If you can look at the car prior to bid closing, that is an option.  Please contact me if you have ANY questions or need additional pictures or details.  Also, mileage is what the odometer shows and I assume may not be correct.

   DRIVETRAIN:  Car currently has a 12 bolt rear-end (not original to car).  It has a code CCF1029B1 which according to on-line information is a 3.31 posi from a 1970 Chevelle.  It has a rear sway bar and boxed rear control arms.  It has disc brakes on the front which are also not original to the car according to the PHS documents. Frame is in good condition.  The transmission is a TH400 with a code BC which is a from a Buick with a 430 or 455.  The listing includes a 1968 GTO 400 block as shown in one picture.  Casting code on the block is 9790071 with a YS engine code.  The heads appear to be original to the car with a casting number of 16 and correct date code.  Some of the engine parts included are shown in the pictures, but only what is shown in pictures.  It is missing the intake or carb as well as some other engine / underhood parts.  Wheels have been repainted by previous owner.  New tires have been installed.  Center caps and trim rings are fair.  Wheels, center caps, trim rings are not original to the car.  

BODY:  Fender wells have been sandblasted and powder coated.  Radiator core support has been sandblasted and powder coated.  There is no radiator.  Hood hinges have been sandblasted and powder coated.  Enduro nose supports have been sandblasted and powder coated.  Enduro nose and grills are in good condition.  Front valance panel will need some work but is very usable.  Replacement trunk panels are laying loose and will need to be installed.  There is a replacement panel that goes between the rear window and the rear deck lid.  Doors are very good with no rot in lower corners.  Hood is good.  Rear deck lid is good except with the lower right corner which needs a little work.  All glass is good.  Floor pans appear to be in good condition.

INTERIOR:  Seats are very good to be original.  However, the bucket seats need the beading replaced and there is one panel on the driver's bucket seat that needs to be replaced.  Door panels are in very good condition.  There is no headliner.  Dash pad has some cracks.  Car has a Rally Clock.  Steering wheel has some cracks.  His/Hers Hurst shifter and console is in good condition.  Console needs the lid replaced or recovered.  There is a set of replacement carpet.  However, there is a hole near the passenger side bucket seat that would have to be repaired, if used.  

PLEASE contact me if you need to know anything or need additional information.  I have sold a few other muscle cars on Ebay and the buyer has been pleased everytime.  It is important to me that you are happy with this purchase.  So if you are not serious or unsure, please do not bid.  Again, I welcome anyone to come and check out the car.  I am located in Western NC about 2 hrs North of Atlanta or 1 hr West of Asheville.

You can email me or call 828-421-7023.

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years

Mon, Dec 17 2018

An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At 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."
