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.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected

Tue, 20 May 2014

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
