1968 Pontiac GTO the real deal. Not a clone. Original 242 car.

PHS states it as nightshade green, black interior, black vinyl top, buckets, console, clock, automatic with factory Hurst dual gate shifter, 3.36 gears with open carrier, power steering, factory power disc brakes, soft ray glass, Rally II wheels (correct codes), hide away headlights.

This is a project but the car is very complete and a great base to start. It has been sitting since the early 1980's so it has rust. I have the PHS, clean title and past owner history.

Engine/tranny: are not original. It has a good running 1970 YH code 455 block casting #9799140 with 1967 #143 heads, Edelbrock street dominator intake manifold, Holley 4brl carb, headers, dual exhaust and 1969 turbo 400 trans. The engine does not knock or smoke. Tranny shifts as it should. Battery is brand new. I have only driven it around the block and in and out of the garage.

Body: Car will need full 1/4's, wheelhouses, trunk pan, panel between trunk lid and rear window, both fenders, floor will need three areas fixed but not full pans. Both doors will need patching. Rockers are solid in and out. Roof has a hole near front of windshield. Trunk lid lip has been repaired. Hood has some questionable rust underneath. Front valence is dented but solid. Inner fenders are good. No rust around front windshield. Endura is straight. Rear bumper should be replaced.

Frame: Right frame rail just below the fender dog leg will need a patch, not major frame work, not major rot. Looks as if some moisture just sat in the lower rail at the turn. About a four inch area. The rest of the frame is solid. Gas tank will need to be replaced. Brakes work good. Tires are shot.

Interior: All there minus the carpet. Front seats will need new foam and be recovered. Door panels, quarter interior panels, kick panels, rear seat are very nice. Dash pad is near perfect. Steering wheel is very nice. Dash has been cut for a radio. Glove box door and its' interior are very nice. Center console needs to be recovered.

Glass: All soft ray glass is good with no separations and minimal scratches. Front windshield appears new.

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon

Tue, Aug 9 2016

During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction

Wed, Jan 18 2017

Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:
