You are bidding on a 1968 Pontiac GTO driving project car that comes with 2 engines, The car has a His/Hers Hurst Shifter and is PHS Documented.  The engine currently installed is a crate 350 bored over .030 with approximately 16,000 miles on it according to the previous owner. The car currently has a Turbo 350 Transmission   I Purchased the car as it currently sits, except I had the shop to get the car safe to drive by replacing the brake booster, adjusting the new brake pads (The car pulls to the left when braking for some reason), fixing the fuel line, installing a new water pump, and fixing the rear light sockets.  I had the intention to do a ground up restoration myself except I have a medical condition that has left me unable to do so, so I am selling the car.  I procured a fully rebuilt Pontiac engine which is the correct YS 400/350 HP engine from a 1968 GTO.  The car will need the following parts to do the body work, Hood, both Quarter Panels, both Outer Rocker Panels, Left and Right Front Floor Pans, Battery & a Turbo 400 Transmission.   There are also some window and other misc parts to match the PHS documentation needed to make a correct or show car including Air Condition parts.  All Other dents and rust can be fixed by the body shop because it is surface rust. The interior needs totally replaced because it is not correct to the car and is in bad shape.  The Carpet and the hardware and dash components are the only things that can be salvaged.  Upon purchase I will provide the PHS documentation as well as a laminated window sticker.  The car was born with the color Vernando Green with Black Interior, and a Black Vinyl Roof.  The old owner changed the paint color which is not a big deal because a color change only affects the car value as little as 1% as long as it was a color available for GTO's in 1968.  The Rebuilt Engine has plenty of chrome and was meant to be a show engine.  In addition the Engine rebuilder says that the Engine will put out more than 400 HP since being rebuilt.  In addition to the body damage the Emergency Brake is pushed to the floor and needs replaced.  Despite the dent in the driver side Quarter Panel and the Passenger Fender the car is pretty straight and the trim is in good shape and can be reused.  The front of the car along with the Endura bumper is also in very good shape.  The GTO also has a 12 bolt Posi-Traction rear end upgrade and and has 15" Weld Racing Chrome Rims. 

The previous owner for some reason put on a Rear Bumper and Tail Lights are from a 1969 so you might want to sell them to get a 68 bumper and Tail Light assemblies,  Ames Performance has the correct bumper for $369.99 plus shipping.  The car is a 1968 by VIN Number and as mentioned this is a project car.  By selling the installed engine, Transmission, Tail Light Assemblies, Rear Bumper and possibly the rims you can regain some money back to put the correct parts and interior in.

If you buy the car I can help with websites and tips to get parts cheaper and information that was passed onto me from a Pontiac Specialist that taught me a lot to make the most valuable car possible.

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.

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years

Mon, Dec 17 2018

An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

This or That: 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 vs. 1984 Pontiac Fiero

Tue, Feb 10 2015

Welcome to another round of This or That, where two Autoblog editors pick a topic, pick a side and pull no punches. Last round pitted yours truly against Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, and my chosen VW Vanagon Syncro narrowly defeated Brandon's 1987 Land Rover. In fact, it was, by far, the closest round we've seen, with 1,907 voters seeing things my way (for 50.8 percent of the vote) versus 1,848 votes for Brandon's Rover (49.2 percent). Sweet, sweet victory! For this latest round of This or That, I've roped Editor Greg Migliore into what I think is a rather fun debate. We've each chosen our favorite terrible cars, setting a price limit of $10,000 to make sure neither of us went too crazy with our automotive atrocities. I think we've both chosen terribly... and I mean that in the best way possible. 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 Jeremy Korzeniewski: Why It's Terrible: Taken in isolation, the Chrysler Crossfire isn't necessarily a terrible car. In fact, it drives pretty darn well, and there's a lot of solid engineering under its slinky shape. Problem is, that engineering was already rather long in the tooth well before Chrysler ever got its hands on it, having come from Mercedes-Benz, which used the basic chassis and drivetrain in a previous version of its SLK coupe and roadster. Granted, the SLK was an okay car, too, but even when new, it hardly set the world on fire with sporty driving dynamics. Chrysler took these decent-but-no-more bits and pieces from the Mercedes parts bin – remember, this car was conceived in the disastrous Merger Of Equals days – and covered them with a rather attractive hard-candy shell. Unfortunately, the super sporty shape wrote checks in the minds of buyers that its well-worn mechanicals were simply unable to cash, though an injection of power courtesy of a supercharged V6 engine in the SRT6 model, as seen here, certainly helped ease some of those woes. In the end, Chrysler was left with a so-called halo car that looked the part but never quite performed the part. It was almost universally panned by critics as an overpriced parts-bin special, which, I must add, was damningly accurate. As a result, sales were very slow, and within the first few months, dealers were clearancing the car at cut-rate prices, just to keep them from taking up too much of the showroom floor. Why It's Not That Terrible, After All: I can speak from personal experience when discussing the Chrysler Crossfire. You see, I owned one. Well, sort of...
