PLEASE READ, I KNOW PICTURES ARE GREAT BUT THIS WILL ANSWER MANY OF YOUR QUESTION SO WE CAN KEEP THE STUPID ONES TO A MINIMUM
Up for sale is my UNFINISHED 1968 gto project Real GTO NUMBERS MATCHING!!! 400/400 His/Hers Hurst Automatic - the sad fact is that it was completely restored frame off and then fell upon some hard times and got some bumps and bruises. I took it back apart a few years ago and redid most everything but time is my enemy and I just cant get it done. The engine is a 400 with the factory header/manifolds that are jethot coated-roller rockers-custom high rise valve covers-Holley street dominator carb - edelbrock high rise intake - H beam rods - forged pistons - steel crank - .40 over - mild cam - performance timing chain - HEI ignition - $3000 in machine shop work and assembly - ran this setup for 1000 miles and then started tearing car down -Auto Trans is fully built as well with Fairbanks converter - Rear has a performance posi spool - has performance lower control arms- kyb shocks- air ride lift bags - front has QA1 performance adjustable coilovers - front has disc brakes - 2006 GTO 17 wheels with BFGoodrich g-force tires - Aluminum Radiator and Trans cooler -Custom Exhaust with Flowmasters -
Factory options: Hood Tach - Rear Defrost - Posi rear but actually has a performance spool that was $1000 - Front seat headrests - wood steering wheel -  hideaway headlights that all components are almost new!!


Heres the kicker, This engine  is AWESOME! but not the original. The original engine and trans is on a pallet in my warehouse and comes with it!!! 



Next: The body is originally a Oklahoma car and was very solid from the start
original sheetmetal - solid floors and trunk - was stripped and sealed with etch prime and POR-15 as was the frame - GREAT CHROME, TRIM, and MOULDINGS!!!

This car is not complete as you can see - it will need paintwork (NIGHTSHADE GREEN) or not, buyers call - has damage spots around and I was going to strip the handles, mouldings etc and block/fix blend color and reclear but still havent got that far - as for mechanical its 100% done but it will need all the wiring harness installed

ALL THE PARTS ARE INCLUDED - EVERYTHING IS IN BOXES OR IN THE TRUNK - INTERIOR IS COMPLETE EXCEPT IT WILL NEED CARPET BECAUSE THE FRONT SECTION GOT THROWN OUT LAST YEAR BY ACCIDENT - THE CAR IS A BEAST AND WAS A BLAST TO DRIVE - I SHOULD HAVE NEVER TORN IT BACK DOWN BUT LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE I TELL MYSELF ILL BLAST IT OUT IN A FEW WEEKS AND 3 YEARS LATER HERE I AM.

NOTE!!! This is an unfinished project car so if you didn't read the description and took the bus figuring you'll drive it home then your gonna be screwed!

Do not make offers if you arent serious or don't know what your getting into - It was originally over $50k when it was restored and ive put $12,600 into it since starting over - money well lost I guess:(
I own a bodyshop and have enough project for the next 100 years so instead of staring at this and working on it about 2 hours a month Im sure there ieone out there that would be a perfect fit for this car

I will help arange shipping and answer any questions just keep the stupid ones to yourself and I don't want to trade for your project - unless you have a almost new superduty diesel or duramax I won't even entertain the thought

Im sure theres about $10k in stuff ive overlooked but i'll keep adding to the description as I remember

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Fiero 2M4

Sun, Oct 8 2023

The mid-engined, plastic-bodied Pontiac Fiero two-seater caused great excitement when it hit the streets as a 1984 model, then became something of an embarrassment for GM when its design flaws became clear to the car-buying public. Still, when a V6 engine became available for 1985, followed by a fastback roof for 1986, the air of Pontiac Excitement around the Fiero lingered to a certain extent. We took a look at a discarded '86 Fiero GT with both the 2.8-liter V6 and the fastback body last year, and now we'll take a look at an example of the econo-commuter four-cylinder notchback version from the same year. Pontiac used the 2M4 designation (standing for two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders) on four-cylinder Fieros, while the six-cylinder cars were known as 2M6s. 2M4 decals went on four-banger Fieros for the 1984-1986 model years, while 2M6 decals seem to have been applied less consistently to the V6 cars of that period. During the early development period of the car that became the Fiero, the idea was that it would be a nimble sports car with a lightweight engine. Then the plan shifted, with the Fiero intended to be a gas-sipping commuter. When the car finally hit showrooms, it was a lot heavier than intended, it had a Chevy Citation front suspension in the back plus a Chevette front suspension, and its engine was the low-revving, weighty Iron Duke 2.5-liter straight-four. The Duke was about the least sports-car-appropriate four-cylinder engine The General could dredge up from his parts bins, but it was cheap and there was no shortage of production capacity. By the time the Fiero came out, the Iron Duke had been renamed the Tech 4. This one was rated at 92 horsepower and 132 pound-feet. The V6 Fieros get all the press today, but plenty of the Duked versions were sold (amazingly, the Chevrolet Camaro was available with Iron Duke power from 1982 through 1986). The emissions sticker tells us that this was a California-market car, rather than the "49-state" model the rest of the country got. California-specific emissions hardware added $99 to this car's price ($277 in 2023 dollars). While this car is a base model, the original buyer loaded it with options. The transmission is a three-speed automatic, priced at $465 (about $1,303 in 2023 dollars). A five-speed manual was standard equipment on the 1986 Fiero, though the old-fashioned four-speed manual was still available for a $50 credit ($140 now).
