This is a real GTO Convertible. It needs a total restoration. As near as I can tell , it was last licensed in 1980. It looks like it has never been wrecked. Doors and trunk open and close as they should, with good gaps. There is some rust in the lower front fenders and in the cowl at the edge of the dash. The cowl rust does not show with the lower windshield molding on, but should be repaired. The rest of the car is rust free. The trunk, floors, frame, rockers, and floor braces are excellent. No body sag in the cowl. Everything solid as it can be. The quarter panels were radiused for clearance for big tires. Left front fender and doors need body work. They do not need replaced. Right front fender is junk, but an original replacement is included. It needs some body work , but is a good , useable original fender. The urethane bumper is straight, but the urethane is deteriorated. A better bumper is included as pictured. Hood has a little damage on the right front corner, and I believe the hole in the hood is factory for a tach. The hood has not been folded and is not rusty. The hood is not original to the car. Quarters can be repaired or replaced, New quarter skins are included. Has original 3.55 open rear. I don't know if it is the original transmission or not, but I have no reason to believe that it isn't. Does not have its original motor. The motor in it is a 69 400 with the right casting number, block, heads, intake, and carburetor. All parts are date matched and correctly dated for this car. Fan shroud is NOS. Convertible top bows are in excellent condition, not seized up. Convertible top motor has been tested good. All convertible trim, windshield, and top well trim has been professionally restored. These parts are still wrapped, although not pictured , they are included. A set of 5 BFG radial T/A tires 245 60 14 Mounted on 5 restored 14 by 7 rally ll wheels with 4 new center caps are included with car, but not pictured. There are no trim rings or lug nuts. I have no rear bumper, I do have all the brackets and hardware. They are all excellent. I have no radiator or exhaust manifolds. Original color is midnight green, White top, and black interior. Options are: automatic transmission, radio, retractable headlamps, console, and power steering. The headlamp system is complete and moves freely by hand. I have not had vacuum to it. If you are looking for GTO project, keep in mind that this car is structurally sound, it costs so much more to restore one that isn't structurally sound and they are never quite right when they are done. I f you have any other questions, I would prefer a phone call over an email. My name is Cal and my phone Number is 509-226-1356.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
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?
Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag
Wed, Feb 20 2019Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."
