Up for sale, a 1968 GTO Convertible. Not many convertibles were made in 1968. Some minor rust here and there, but nothing unrepairable in my opinion, but I am not a professional body man. I believe the front fenders have been replaced, a trunk pan installed prior to me purchasing the car. The car started and ran when I purchased about a year ago. I removed the non matching engine and trans and sold, as I was going with LS3 engine. I pulled the front end off the car and the radiator support was completely rusted out, but fenders, inner fenders are ok. Minor rusting on front endure bumper and lower valence. the rest of the car is intact in one piece. The interior seems complete, including seats in good condition, original wood steering wheel, convertible top that will go up and down on it's own with a battery, but has been sewn on both sides, does not appear to leak. Original dash, gauges etc. Non factory radio, and the center console has been cut to accommodate a manual trans. Carpet is still in, not sure if original, but pretty good shape. Door panels are there, both need repairs at the bottom, window rollers are there. The convertible boot, or parade cover is gone. No spare, no jack. Frame seems to have surface rust, but I see nothing rusted through. Exhaust is still on the car, manifolds back, but all is pretty rusty. Driveshaft is good. Unsure is rearend is factory or not. 4 wheel disk brakes, unsure if wheels are 68, or original GTO rims. There are a few places on the body that appear to have been painted over rust w/o repairing, like the decklid (minor) and a cracked bondo spot on passenger door. The R Rear marker light is missing. The vinyl on dash is cracked. About 1/2 of the chrome is in good shape, the other half has some dents, but I think it's all present. Not hideaway headlights. It did run, but the brakes did not work, I do not know why. I am selling, because I have had it a year, and haven't had time to touch it and don't see it happening any time soon. I purchased from a dealer in Maine as a project car, and shipped it down to Texas. Before Maine it was in Michigan most of it's life, which explains some of the rusting. The pictures make the car look good, but I have taken the front end off the car. This is a project car, and not perfect, but it sure is nicer than a lot of the projects I see for sale with half the car missing. This car has been stored indoors for the last year. Any questions feel free to ask. I will work with your shipper, you can pick up, or I can even deliver to your door for additional cost. $500 due at auction end, balance in cash when picked up. If I deliver, delivery fees paid up front. Car is sold as is, where is with no warranty expressed or implied.

6 car mashups that God never intended

Sat, May 17 2014

In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Firebird

Mon, Dec 18 2023

Last spring, this series featured a 1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS in a Northern California junkyard, an example of the final model year for the highly successful third-generation GM F-Body. On a later visit to that yard, I spotted the Pontiac sibling to that car, a Firebird that was born the same year at the same Southern California factory. When the Chevrolet Division introduced the first Camaro as a 1967 model, the Pontiac Division got its own version of the F-Body called the Firebird. While the two cars were built on the same chassis and looked very similar, the first-generation Camaros got Chevrolet engines while their Firebird colleagues got Pontiac engines (including the innovative SOHC straight-six). The 1970-1981 second-generation Firebirds still had some Pontiac-only engines, but Chevrolet and Oldsmobile power crept under some hoods during that period. The third-generation Firebirds first appeared as 1982 models, and they drew from near-identical stockpiles of GM running gear (including the distinctly agricultural Iron Duke four-banger, which could be considered a Pontiac-derived engine). When the Camaro got the axe after 2002, the Firebird's neck was put on the same chopping block. When the Camaro returned for 2010, the Pontiac brand was sputtering to an agonized halt during its final year and there was no chance of the Firebird's return. This car is a fairly ordinary coupe, though it does have the mid-grade 205-horsepower 5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block V8 instead of the base 140-horse 3.1-liter V6. A 5.7-liter small-block was available as well. A five-speed manual transmission was base equipment, but few Americans wanted a three-pedal setup by the early 1990s. This car has the optional four-speed automatic. The MSRP with 5.0 engine, automatic transmission and air conditioning (which this car has) started at $14,304. That's about $31,868 in 2023 dollars. It was built at Van Nuys Assembly in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County. By the dawn of the 1990s, the Camaros and Firebirds made at Van Nuys Assembly had become known as the worst-built GM cars made in North America, and the plant was shut down forever soon after this car was built. Today, a shopping mall lives where the factory once stood. This car managed to drive more than 150,000 miles during its life, so it beat the odds. The thrid-gen F-Body was pretty antiquated by the early 1990s, but the fourth-gen cars handled better and looked up-to-date for the era.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
