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

Michigan floods from breached dams consume Pontiac Fiero collection

Thu, May 21 2020

“WeÂ’ve never had an event like this,” Michigan's city manager Brad Kaye said in a Detroit News story. "What we're looking at is an event that is the equivalent of a 500-year flood." Kaye is referencing the catastrophic flood that occurred in central Michigan this week after heavy rainfall was compounded by two breached dams on the Tittabawassee River. Reports say the flooding forced evacuation of up to 10,000 residents, swallowed entire towns, and destroyed thousands of properties. No casualties have been reported, according to the Detroit Free Press, but car enthusiasts will be sad to learn a Pontiac Fiero shop and collection called Forever Fieros was decimated by the natural disaster. The Tittabawassee River is located about two hours, or roughly 140 miles, north of Detroit. It starts 20-30 miles further north and flows southeast as a tributary to the Saginaw Bay Watershed. Along the way, the Tittabawassee is held up by several dams, including the Edenville dam that failed and the Sanford dam that was breached during torrential downpours. According to NPR, the federal government took away the Edenville dam's license in 2018 and suggested it could not last through a major flood. Unfortunately, that prediction was proven accurate.  Forever Fieros is located in Sanford, Michigan, which is just below Sanford Lake, which is created by the Sanford dam. So when the Edenville dam north of Sanford broke, water from Wixom Lake flooded Sanford Lake, and a berm next to the Sanford dam was overwhelmed, according to MLive. Technically the dam did not fail, but the end result was the same: an entire town underwater. The Tittabawassee reportedly crested at 35 feet, or 10 feet above flood level and 1.1 feet higher than the previous record set in 1986. According to The Drive, the man in charge of Forever Fieros, Tim Evans, had time to attempt to save his vehicles from floodwater. He reportedly moved about 12 cars to a street that doesn't typically flood, but the water level was simply too high for that to matter. A floating pole barn also reportedly struck and damaged the  Forever Fieros building.  Worsening the situation is the fact that Evans was planning to hold an auction to sell many of the Fieros. As seen on Industrial Bid, he planned to sell 12 Fieros, Fiero GTs and a Fiero Formula, ranging from 1984 through 1988. The lots included a 1984 pace car, a Lamborghini Countach kit car, and a Fiero Cosworth Pontiac Super Duty 16-valve DOHC engine.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky

Sat, Jun 26 2021

The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic.  The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice.  For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
