HERE IS A DROP DEAD GORGEOUS LOOKING 1968 PONTIAC GTO CONVERTIBLE NUMBERS MATCHING CAR. LOTS OF RECENT RESTORATION WORK DONE AND BEAUTIFUL COLOR COMBINATION!

Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.

Vehicle came out of New Hampshire. Previous owner got the car mechanically sound and drove it for the last few years. This is a FULLY MATCHING NUMBERS CAR with correct "YS" 400ci 4bbl. motor, correct transmission, correct rear end, correct and RARE Aegena Blue color (Code "E") with correct white convertible top (code "1) and correct parchment interior ("code 224"). When I got it last year I did a lot of work on it myself in my spare time. Restoration was to driver quality standards and was body-on and was done within the last few months, including complete paint/bodywork in base/clear 2 stage PPG type paint, NEW interior (seat covers, carpet, door panels, rear side panels, armrests, etc.), NEW exhaust/mufflers, NEWLY overhauled brake system, NEWLY flushed fuel system, NEW side mirror, and a few other smaller things here and there

Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close nicely. Body does NOT appear to ever have been in any major collision.

OPTIONS:

Power steering

Power convertible top

Power antenna

In-dash clock

Manual drum brakes

Dual exhaust

MATCHING 400ci/350hp 4bbl. V8 motor

MATCHING Automatic transmission with factory His/Hers Hurst shifter

Bucket seat interior w/console

MATCHING 10 bolt rear end

Under the hood lies the MATCHING NUMBERS 400ci/350hp 4bbl. motor that is stock and has not been altered or hot-rodded. Stock intake, exhaust manifolds, carburetor, air cleaner setup and all from what I could tell. Overall it's a nice and healthy motor that fires right up, has good oil pressure and sounds great. Had it completely checked out by my mechanic and is ready to drive (I've been using it twice a month for short trips around town).  Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts great without any noises or grinding. 

Interior is basically all stock and NEARLY BRAND NEWDoor panels are NEW. Dash pad has some cracks. Seats have BRAND NEW covers on them as well as NEW seat backs and NEW side covers. Carpet is NEW as well. NEW rear end panels. Stock steering wheel in fair shape. Console is presentable with some wear by top armrest area. Convertible top is in good shape throughout with GLASS rear window, but has two small slits by rear driver's side. Overall nicely presentable for a high end driver.

Underside has a ROCK SOLID frame with NO rot or major rust anywhere. Floorboards are excellent with NO holes anywhere that I was able to see. VERY NICE trunk pan as well.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in VERY GOOD shape throughout, with NICE shine and looks great but it is not absolutely show quality, so please keep in mind that it will have some very minor imperfections here and there. Panel fit is pretty good, but again not absolutely perfect to be a show winner and could use tiny adjustments here and there. Not working: wipers, clock, power antenna (not connected), hideaways (they have vacuum but do not work great, but I DO HAVE NEW VACUUM CANISTERS INCLUDED), and a bulb or two may need replacing here and there. Missing: wipers, spare/jack, radio, front valence lower trim pieces, maybe a few other smaller items. Rear driver's side window off track and needs adjustment. Window rubber should be replaced. Fan shroud should be replaced. Convertible top works and is all connected but needs hydraulic fluid as currently it needs help up or down. Small exhaust leak which you can hear in the video when car running. I am sure there are many other things the car needs.

So overall she is not perfect but she's a DAMN NICE and VERY CORRECT MATCHING NUMBERS CRUISER!. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GREAT LOOKING DRIVER to play around with, then this is the car for you. If you want a 100 point concourse show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile

Thu, Mar 26 2015

So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."

GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes

Sat, Jun 20 2015

General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
