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 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 pace car could be yours

Fri, Jan 29 2021

Hopefully, the fans of GM's W-body '80s/'90s intermediates can forgive us, but we had pretty much forgotten — or had never really known — that one of the ways that era's Pontiac Grand Prix bathed itself in glory was by serving as the pace car for the Daytona 500. In fact, the Grand Prix paced NASCAR's marquee race every year from 1988 to 1992, and again in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2003. That first year, 1988, the Grand Prix was all-new, making its debut on the W-body platform. It was also Motor Trend's car of the year. The 1988 Daytona 500 marked the 17th year in a row that a Pontiac was chosen to set the pace but the first time a front-wheel-drive car was so honored. The '88 Grand Prix followed a spate of Pontiac Trans Ams. This '88 Grand Prix, for sale right now on eBay Motors, is presented as an actual pace car, although fans could order a complete set of pace car decals for their very own GP. The pace car is based on that year's top-spec Grand Prix, the SE. In place of the standard car's 2.8-liter V6, however, the pace car uses a modified 3.1-liter V6, which is hooked to a five-speed manual transmission. This Grand Prix is otherwise largely standard fare excepting the roof-mounted light bar, the switches for which are located next to the radio. The mechanical odometer tucked into the digital instrument cluster shows just over 5,000 miles, and presumably, not all of them were acquired on the high-banked oval. With four days to go in the auction, bidding sits at $4,000 with the reserve unmet. Although the reserve is unknown, one clue is that this Grand Prix had been listed by a classic-car dealership in Pennsylvania for $18,500. Besides the debut of the W-body Grand Prix pace car, the 1988 race is also notable for its final lap: Bobby Allison held off his son, Davey Allison, to take the checkered flag, with the father-son duo enjoying a 1-2 finish. Now, who wants to re-live those Grand Prix glory days? Get on your Pontiac and ride!   This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Sunbird Sedan

Sun, Jun 28 2020

The J-Body platform was a giant seller for GM, staying in production from the first 1981 Chevrolet Cavalier all the way through that final 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. Outside of North America, Opels and Daewoos and Isuzus and Holdens and Vauxhalls and even Toyotas flew the J flag, and better than ten million rolled out of showrooms during that quarter-century. In the United States, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, and Cadillac each sold J-Bodies. Of those, the Pontiac Sunbird often had the sportiest image, more cavalier than even the Cavalier Z24. I've documented a discarded Sunbird Turbo in the past, and now here's a bread-and-butter Sunbird sedan from the same era. The Sunbird name began its life in 1976 on the Pontiac-badged version of the rear-wheel-drive Buick Skyhawk, itself based on the Chevy Vega. The first J-Body Pontiacs had J2000 badges, then 2000 badges, then 2000 Sunbird badges, until finally the pure non-2000 Sunbird appeared for the 1985 model year. I remain disappointed that the 2000 name didn't survive into our current century, because we could have had a 2000 Pontiac 2000, or just the "2000 2000" for short. The base engine in the '86 Sunbird was this SOHC 1.8-liter four of Brazilian origin, rated at 84 horsepower. Originally developed by Opel in the late 1970s, this engine family went into cars built all across the sprawling GM empire. 84 horsepower doesn't sound like much— and it wasn't much, even by 1986 standards— but at least the original buyer of this car had the smarts to get the five-speed manual transmission. This car weighed just 2,336 pounds, a good 500 pounds lighter than the current Chevy Sonic, so performance with the manual transmission was tolerable. The '86 Sunbird's interior was much nicer than those in its Cavalier siblings, though nowhere near the Cadillac Cimarron's reading on the Plush-O-Meter. An AM/FM/cassette stereo with auto reverse was serious audio hardware in a cheap car during the middle 1980s, when even a scratchy factory AM-only radio cost the equivalent of several hundred 2020 bucks. The price tag of this car started at $7,495, or about $17,500 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible Cavalier sedan went for $6,888 in 1986, but a zero-option base '86 Cavalier would make you think you'd been transported to the Soviet Union every time you slunk into its harsh confines.
