SELLING MY 1969 GTO THAT I'VE OWNED APPROXIMATELY 5 YEARS DUE TO RECENTLY ACQUIRING A 1969 CAMARO.

THIS IS A TRUE 69 GTO WITH THE 242 VIN CODE WHICH ELIMINATES ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT CLONING OR  AUTHENTICITY.
THE ENGINE CASTING NUMBER IS 9790079 AND THE TURBO HYDRAMATIC TRANSMISSION IS xxxxxx THIS IS A NONE MATCHING NUMBERS CAR.
I AM 55 AND HAVE OWNED 3 GTO'S IN MY LIFETIME AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT CAROUSEL RED WAS THE ELITE COLOR FOR THEM BUT I QUICKLY CHANGED MY MIND AFTER SEEING IT IN BLACK SPECIALLY WITH HIDEAWAY LIGHTS.THE AGGRESSIVE NATURE OF THIS CAR IN BLACK IS SECOND TO NONE.

IT HAS THE HURST DUAL GATE SHIFTER, FRONT FACTORY DISC BRAKES, PWR STEERING.
 IT LEFT THE FACTORY AS A CENTER CONSOLE CAR WITH HIDEAWAY LIGHTS AND  AIR CONDITION(no a/c now)I do have some of the parts for it.

PHS DOCUMENTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE PICTURES.

CLEAR FLORIDA TITLE ON MY NAME.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD A LOCAL BODY SHOP START THE RESTORATION BUT RUN OUT OF MONEY IN THE PROCESS AND SOLD THE CAR TO ME.

I HAD THE CAR SANDED DOWN TO EXPOSE ALL WORK DONE AND POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH THE BODY, THE SHOP HAD DONE SOME REPAIRS TO THE TRUNK PAN AND A COUPLE OF SMALL REPAIRS ON THE FLOOR PAN THAT LOOKED SATISFACTORY TO ME SO I DECIDED THAT IT LOOKED GOOD ENOUGH AND AVOIDED ANY ADDITIONAL CUTTING OF THE FLOOR AND TRUNK, THE FENDERS, ENDURA BUMPER, HOOD, DOORS, TRUNK AND UPPER QUARTERS ARE ALL ORIGINAL AND IN GREAT SHAPE, THE LOWER QUARTER PANELS WHERE REPLACED WITH THE CORRECT PATCH PANEL AND BUTT WELDED..

THE COMPLETE CAR WAS TREATED WITH EPOXY PRIMER BEFORE THE 2K PRIMER WAS APPLIED AND THAN A SEALER WAS USED BEFORE THE MATRIX BASECOAT AND MATRIX AUTOGLAS AG40 HIGH SOLIDS CLEARCOAT(4 COATS), WETSANDED AND BUFFED.THE PAINT WAS FINISHED IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR.I WILL INCLUDE SOME PICTURES OF THE CAR IN EPOXY AND 2K PRIMER AND THE GREAT CONDITION OF THE TRUNK RAILING ETC.


THE CAR HAS TORQUE THRUST 15' WHEELS WITH BFGOODRICH TIRES ALL AROUND IT.

NEW MARKER LIGHTS
NEW WINDOW REGULATOR(PASSENGER)
NEW DOOR STRIKER.
NEW QUARTER WINDOW MOULDING.

NEW CHROME GTO DOOR EMBLEMS(NOT INSTALLED)
NEW HEI DISTRIBUTOR, NEW SWAY BAY BUSHINGS AND NEW ENDLINKS.

THE FOLLOWING ARE SMALL THINGS I NEVER GOT AROUND TO DOING;
THE SPEEDOMETER IS NOT WORKING.
THE GAS GAUGE IS NOT WORKING-THE WIRE CONNECTION IN THE TRUNK WAS CUT, WILL NEED TO LOWER THE TANK AND SPLICE A PIECE OF WIRE AND IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO REPLACE THE SENDER UNIT AT THAT TIME.
THE DASH LIGHTS ARE DIMMED, I THINK NEW BULBS OR PERHAPS ADDING A GOOD GROUND SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT AND IT COULD POSSIBLY BE DONE FROM BENEATH WITHOUT HAVING TO REMOVE THE DASH.
THE GLOVE BOX DOOR IS MISSING THE KEY LOCK.
THE DASH CLOCK IS NOT WORKING.
THE HEADLINER IS NEW BUT THE SMALL SAIL PANELS ARE USED. THE CORRECT SET IS SOLD BY NATIONAL PARTS DEPOT FOR $54 FOR THE SET BUT IT TAKES ABOUT 5-8 WEEKS TO GET.

THE CAR STARTS RIGHT UP, I HAVE ONLY PUT A COUPLE HUNDRED MILES SINCE THE RESTORATION, SO IT NEEDS TO BE USED, I DO START THE ENGINE EVERY MONTH, I HAVE KEPT GOOD GAS IN IT AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED, IT HAS NOT SEEN RAIN.

PLEASE ASK ANY QUESTIONS AND REQUEST ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, YOU CAN ALSO PROVIDE YOUR PHONE NUMBER IF YOU WANT ME TO CALL YOU.

THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES OR WARRANTIES AND THE CAR IS SOLD AS IS, THE BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING ALL INFORMATION LISTED HERE, ALL SALES ARE FINAL.

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
