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.

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
