1970 Pontiac GTO, California Survivor, numbers matching.   Original 400 with 350 horse power.  Original owners manual and California Pink Slip included.  Factory 10 bolt rear end.  Car has factory air, power steering, power brakes, automatic, am radio.  I put on a period correct Rochester carb.  The factory original carb is in a box in the trunk, which is included in the sale to the future owner.  Engine bay is very well maintained and looks great.  Car drives well and has plenty of power.  Tires are full of tread and wheels are in beautiful condition.  The Enduro bumper is in excellent condition.  Interior is fresh, clean, no tears, rips.  Front and back seats have all original factory seat belts in car.  Front seats have two factory belt buckles, one for the shoulder strap and one for the lap belt.  Headliner is in very good condition with no rips or tears.  Trunk is in excellent shape with no rust issues and includes the factory bumper jack and the original small tire which has never been used.  Inside of the trunk looks great!  Interior and exterior are in very good condition for a 44 year old car.  The car has factory glass throughout, original T3 headlights, factory paint still in door jams, trunk and inside engine bay.  Somewhere along the way the master cylinder was replaced.  Undercarriage is solid and in good condition.  Car had one light re-spray years prior to me purchasing it.  This is as rust free as you will find.  When I purchased the car in 08, I was told that the car has some lead bleeding through the right and left seams where the quarter panels join the roof.  It can be seen.  I will include a picture.  It has NOT gotten worse since 2008.  Also, this car has the original metal dealer drive out tag.  Roc Cutri was the GMC dealer where the car was purchased in 1970.  Roc Cutri GMC has long since closed, but you can still see their dealership history on the internet.  

The downside to this car is the dash.  California heat split the top left in two places and one place almost in the middle.  I will include pictures of the cracks.  I intended to send the dash out to be restored, but it never took top priority.  I had to leave something left to do.  What fun are they, if there's nothing left to work on?  That's my opinion. 

I keep it in a dehumidified garage. The collector before me also kept this car in a dehumidified garage.    It is one of a few original survivors.  Some like a restored car, but this car hasn't been restored.  This car is like it came off the lot.  You can restore cars as many times as you want, but they're only original once.  This car is for the person that still wants an original and they want to do a few minor things for a hobby, while enjoying a beautiful, stock 70 California, GTO. 

I have the original California Pink slip for this car which will be included in the sale.

Also, this is a rare 1970 California emission equipped car with the original California emissions canister.  Based on one Pontiac guru, this canister is a rare piece and not reproduced.  He said the first thing people did when they bought a California GTO with the canister was to trash it.  Now they're extremely expensive and hard to find for a 1970 California GTO, which he said makes for a more rare GTO.  Hagerty magazine did an article regarding California muscle cars and discussed the cost and rarity of these 1970 canisters. 

The Pontiac legend, Jim Wangers took a short drive in my car at the 2008 Year One Experience.  After driving and checking out this GTO, Mr. Wangers wrote the following on the car's radiator cover.  "Hey Bud... Hang on to this beautiful 70, it's a "Real Survivor"!  signed, Jim Wangers08.  Mr. Wangers also pointed out factory chalk marks on the fire wall.  If you look you can still see the mark.  I will include pictures of what Mr. Wangers wrote and a picture of him sitting in the driver's seat.  

I'm going to try to post a video on YouTube so people can hear and see the car running.  It runs great and cranks perfect every time.  I changed the oil with Mobil 1 and added a bottle of Z-Max to the motor. 

I've been long winded, but I've done my best to honestly describe my GTO.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.  Please keep in mind this is a 44 year old car and it comes with no warranties.

Write or call me with any questions you have and I will respond quickly.   I'll be happy to show it to any serious buyers or agents.   Bud  706-983-0357

Shipping is the buyer's responsibility.  $500 deposit within 48 hours.  Full payment expected in 7 days after auction ends.  Funds must clear before I will release the car and pink slip.   I will provide the winning bidder with a bill of sale and the pink slip, which is the title in California.  Thanks!

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams

Fri, Aug 31 2018

There 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.

Porsche Boxster Spyder to get GT3's 4.0-liter flat six?

Sun, Feb 4 2018

It's been a merry-go-round the past few months, the rumormill focused on what will power the next Porsche Boxster Spyder. First came hearsay of a flat-six going into the special edition of a model line known for its turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Then came tattling that the flat-six in question was the naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter from the 911 GT3. A couple of weeks ago we wrote " we'd be surprised if Porsche packed anything other than a turbocharged flat-four under the skin." But Autocar has a new report that, indeed, a downtuned version of the 500-horsepower 4.0-liter from the GT3's rump will move to the Boxster Spyder's midsection. The Autocar piece follows a Wheels magazine article from last November, and the prediction isn't outrageous. When Car and Driver reviewed the last Boxster Spyder, it wrote, "the hand-me-down six comes from the older 911 Carrera S, not to be confused with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six that powers the refreshed 911." If we can believe a recent report from Automobile about the 992-series 911 due later this year, the same thing is happening: The 991.2-series GT3 bequeaths its powerplant to the smaller sibling, and the 992-series GT3 moves to a 3.8-liter, twin-turbo flat-six with around 550 hp. Autocar quotes Andreas Preuninger, the Porsche engineer leading the development of all of these wunderkinds, saying of the Boxster earlier this year, "Natural aspiration is one of our main USPs. ... [We] think we can achieve throttle response and immediacy a little bit better with an atmospheric high-revving engine than any kind of turbo." We'll guess that means, by inference, that the GT3 is about to age out of naturally-aspirated university. The limited-edition Boxster Spyder might carry the torch with the 4.0-liter, with output somewhere around 430 hp. The Cayman GT4 could do the same. Or, who knows, an evolution of the 375-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six in the previous Boxster Spyder might burble out of left field. We expect to see the Boxster Spyder late this year. Until then, we'll wait to see what the merry-go-round says next time the Zuffenhausen horse comes around.
