You are bidding on a 100% original, 1970 GTO with 4-spd transmission, hood tack, A/C, and AM Radio with 8-track. PHS documented, matching number car with 400 cubic inch engine. Original Pepper Green with Sandlewood interior. Nothing to hide on this restoration candidate. All components there. Buy a 40-year old true muscle car with all original components intact and lovingly bring it back to life. When done you will have the satisfaction of rescuing a dying breed and have a vehicle worth well over $30,000.
Body
Body panels align correctly, doors close perfectly and do not sag. Looks like at some point in time the quarters were repaired and rear window corners repaired, maybe one repaint, or spot painting. But pictures do tell a thousand words and after 40 years be prepared for rust and body panel replacement from the doors back. No getting around needing both full quarter panels, trunk pan, inner and outer rear wheel housing, rear sill between rear window and trunk. Have lower driver fender patch panel, and other fender could easily be saved, but also could replace. The great thing is all of this sheet metal is readily available at reasonable prices.
The good points are both doors and underside of doors have escaped the rust demon, the hood is excellent, and the front endura bumper is great. Grilles, chrome trim, rear bumper all useable.
Additionally, the frame is solid with surface rust present, but no structural issues.
Mechanicals
As noted, the car has not undergone any mechanical restoration and is still a driver. Engine fires up and idles nicely. Still pulls strong. Clutch and transmission move through all gears nicely. Power steering good. Turn signals and electricals work. AM Radio works. Blower motor works. A/C compressor belt is not hooked up and believed seized. Front brakes work well, rear brakes have leaky wheel cylinders. It appears like suspension is completely original and never worked on (may have original shocks). In short, plan on going through all suspension, brake, and mechanical systems.
Interior
Much the same story here, need carpet, seat covers, headliner, door panels, etc. Dash has cracks at corners. Steering wheel missing one of horn buttons. This is a rare bench seat model and has seating for six! Convert to bucket seats, or leave original. All interior components are readily available.
Summary
This car needs the right individual to bring it back to life. Peppergreen with Sandalwood, 4-spd and A/C will be a fine, good-loooking cruiser. Remember your bid is a contract. $500 deposit due within 3 days of auction end, final payment in 7 days. Car can be driven on trailer and is operable. It drives around town but would not recommend driving home.

Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did
Fri, Jun 21 2019Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
