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!

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction

Wed, Jan 18 2017

Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers

Tue, May 30 2017

A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.
