1968 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Franklin, North Carolina, United States

* * 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.

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.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
