1968 Pontiac Gto Running Project Car With 2 Engines Phs Documented on 2040-cars
Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States
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. $500 Deposit Required via Paypal. The balance to be sent via Certified Check or Money Order, Please contact as soon as possible about payment and to make arrangements to have the car picked up. |

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
Junkyard Gem: 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT
Fri, Jun 26 2020The New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, built Toyota-derived machinery — badged as Toyotas, Chevrolets, Geos, and Pontiacs— from 1984 through 2010, and some of the very last vehicles that left the assembly line were Pontiac Vibes. The Vibe, sibling to the Toyota Matrix, mostly served as a ho-hum transportation appliance and/or fleet car, but a factory-hot-rod GT version could be purchased. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those rare GTs, complete with the nearly unheard-of six-speed manual transmission, found in a self-service yard in northeastern Colorado. The regular Vibe had 123 or 130 horsepower, depending on the number of driven wheels, but the Vibe GT got the same 1.8-liter 2ZZ engine that went into the Celica GT-S. 180 horsepower, which was enough to make the 2,800-pound Vibe GT keep up with the 3,108-pound/215-horse Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo that year. Sadly, no race series pitting Vibe GTs against PT Cruiser Turbos and Chevy HHR SSs on road courses ever materializedÂ… but it's not too late. The Vibe GT has something you couldn't get in a PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR, though: a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. In fact, the six-speed was the only transmission offered in the early Vibe GTs (an automatic became an option later on). You'll find plenty of three-pedal econoboxes from this era, because they were significantly cheaper than their slushbox-equipped counterparts, but the Vibe GT had plenty of competition from sportier-looking cars with manual transmissions in 2004. Not many were sold. This car is covered with nasty dents from golf-ball-sized hail (all too common in High Plains Colorado), so it may have been an insurance total that nobody wanted at auction. Sold in Wyoming, will be crushed in an adjacent state. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Fuel for the soul.

Toyota had right-hand-drive Matrixes brought over to Japan from Canada, but a NUMMI-built version of the Vibe could be purchased there for a few years as well. This was the Voltz, and its advertising seems notably frantic even by the standards of Japanese car commercials.
