1968 GTO Convertible Restored numbers matching Awesome GTO!

 

Up for auction is my gorgeous 1968 Pontiac GTO Convertible.  It is a true 24267 (350 HP) car with numbers matching 400 motor and Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission.  This car looks great, runs strong, sounds fantastic and gets shouts of approval wherever I go.

Here are some particulars…

In 2007 (about 8,300 miles ago) the car was fully restored including:

·       Body thoroughly disassembled (shop said it had all original sheet metal with stampings), refurbished and put back together.

·       Beautiful new red paint and new white top.

·       Engine was torn down and rebuilt including new pistons, rings, Lunati cam, and many other parts and improvements.

·       The new top also had new pads, weather strip, frame, switch, and motor installed.

·       The trunk compartment was detailed to look brand new.

·       The undercarriage is beautiful with spotless floor pans, and a clean, rust-free frame that was bead blasted then primed and had chassis black applied.

·       Interior is show ready with new seat covers, new carpeting, and correct date coded front and rear seat belts, etc.

Also the car shows two sets of wheels and tires in the pictures.  A set of like new bias ply red-line tires on beautiful Rally II wheels or a brand new set of BF Goodrich TA Radials on Cragar S/S wheels.  If you win the auction you pick the Rally IIs or the Cragars, if the winning bid is over $36,000 you get both sets.

The Hurst His n Hers shifter works perfectly with the rebuilt in 2012 Turbo Hydra-Matic automatic transmission for crisp shifts and robust acceleration.

This great GTO comes with some Pontiac Historical Services paperwork, the 1968 owner's manual and some restoration receipts as well as a laminated reproduction window sticker.  The VIN is 242678B119655.  A black convertible boot also goes to the auction winner as well as a few small extra parts and paraphernalia and two sets of keys.

This car is ready to enjoy.  The only glaring weakness is the vent windows' chrome needs to be re-done.    This is a 45 year old car that appears to be in great condition for its age, but it is 45 years old.  Feel free to e-mail questions and I’ll do my best to answer them, or better yet, come to Rochester, NY to see the car first hand or get an independent inspection done to see what a great ride this GTO really is.  The fair reserve on this car as well as the "Buy It Now" price are indicative of the value of this beautiful classic car.


This GTO Convertible is being sold as is, where is with no warranty, expressed written or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for the authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty of any type.  Any descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only. It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle and to have satisfied his or her self as to the condition and value and to bid based upon that judgment solely. The seller has and will make every reasonable effort to disclose any known defects associated with this vehicle at the buyer's request prior to the close of sale. Seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs needed to the vehicle.

The following terms of sale apply:  Payment in cash, certified check, or bank transfer within seven days of the close of the auction.  All funds must be in US dollars only. Please be sure to have full payment and/or approved financing in place before making your final bid.  The successful high bidder will submit a minimum of a $2,000 non-refundable deposit via Paypal or bank wire transfer within 2 business days of the close of the auction to secure the vehicle.  All financial transactions must be completed before delivery of the vehicle.

 

The vehicle is in Webster, NY (a suburb of Rochester, NY) and is available for pick up by carrier or by the new owner.  The new owner is responsible for all travel arrangements for his or her self and the vehicle.  I would suggest driving the car home or enclosed carrier transportation.

 

The vehicle is available for sale locally and the auction may be ended at any time.

 

Good Luck!

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When 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.

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh

Tue, Jan 31 2017

The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:
