Brief history, I got the car at age 15. It was running and driving and mostly complete. Over my high school years it was disassembled for restoration. Instead of restoring it, I got married and started life. Now, after 22 years, a wife, 4 kids & a mortgage later, the car is still un-restored. Maybe it's time to let it go. Here's what it is: PHS documented, Verdero green on green on green, YS code 400, auto, disc brakes, hideaways, A/C, tilt wheel, remote mirror & power windows. When I got it it had a running 400 from a '71. That engine is gone and I have a correct '69 YS code block, but is not #'s matching. The #'s off the front of the engine are 29Z117307 & 0500425 over YS, and at the back of the engine a date code of B 049 & 9790071. The heads are 62 with date codes of K 048 & K 128. I have all the major engine pieces, but it is disassembled and needs to be re-built. I've had the block checked & it's good. The tranny has been re-built & in dry storage for 20 years. The car needs everything, but is not rusty. It has seen some accidents, but doesn't need major rust repair. It's been skinned on the right side and has lots of bondo on both sides. It's been re-painted numerous times. Most major components are present, but it's missing some of the hideaway set up for sure, and who knows how many other little things. I've hung the front clip on it mostly for looks and for ease of transport. The front bumper and lower valance are real nice, not bent up. The hood is great. The front fenders are pretty rough. Good enough to fix if you really wanted original, but they have rust and dents. The dash is pretty bad, but I have another one with just a minor crack on top. The seats need upholstery, but the frames & springs seem fine. The windshield is not cracked, but has some delimitation and sand pitting. I have a youtube video of the car before the front clip was on. Sorry about the poor quality I was pretty sick when I shot it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZWnxwX6tdw Also noticed that the video/sound are not in sync, oh well. Please email or call 541-531-9995 with any questions. The car can sit in the shop for a month or so if arrangements are made before the sale. $500 through paypal within 72 hrs & the balance via money order or whatever in 2 weeks or so, depending on arrangements. I'd encourage a physical inspection, if possible. Again, the car needs everything, but it has great options and isn't rusty. Also, sorry about the sideways pictures. I'm not computer smart enough to figure out how to rotate them. I'd consider trading the GTO for the right late 1990's or early 2000's standard length 12 passenger (not a 15 passenger) diesel van.

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams
Fri, Aug 31 2018There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky
Sat, Jun 26 2021The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic. The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice. For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
