This is a 1974 Pontiac GTO (Ventura) hatchback in very good condition for its age but does need restoration. This was the last year of the GTO until 2004 and was the only year that is was based on the Ventura which is basicly a Nova. This car was sold in Pasedena california and lived its whole life in California. There is almost NO rust on this car which is unheard of. I have had many of these cars and have never seen one that is in this good of shape when it comes to rust. I have pictures of the rust, they are two small places in the trunk part of the hatchback that are about the size of a quarter in each place, a small quarter size hole at the bottom of the drivers side quarter panel, and some small holes in the lower part of the hatch back. There is a picture of the right quater panel that shows some bondo but it is not covering up rust, there is a dent that someone did a terrible job of fixing. Instead of pulling the dent out, they filled it with bondo. (they did that alot back then). In the pictures of the under neath there is something that is peeling off that might look like rust in the pictures but it is not. I think it is some kind of rust proofing they used back then. When it peels off the metal underneath, it looks like the day the car was made with the black e coat under it. There is surface rust in the trunk area as well, but it is just that, surface rust, no holes. There are dents in various places, one in the front left fender at the bottom which is decent size and several other small ones. The window mouldings are missing from the pictures but ARE included. The engine is not original and acording to the numbers on the block is a 400 that runs good. It has a holley carb instead of the original quadrajet. It has a carb adapter which raises the carb and puts the shacker scoop a little too high so I would either replace the intake or go back with a quadrajet. The engine has a small cam which you can hear a little thump in the exhaust. The transmission shifts and the car goes down the road but please dont ask me if you can drive it home. It has non power drum brakes and stops good. It has the tach and the gauge package on the console, the G80 the safe t track posi traction rear end and several other special options. Every guage and tach works which I couldent believe. they never work. the shacker scoop has a peice missing from it but I am including a good one with the car. I have the PHS paperwork that shows its a real GTO and all the options. You will NOT find a 74 GTO with a body in better shape than this car. I bought it to restore as this is the same kind of car that I had in high school but I will never get around to it. I hate to see it go and but I do not have to sell it so please dont make offers. If you want one of these cars you better buy it, you will not find a better one. Thanks for looking. It may take me a little while to answer questions because I get busy a work and can only check messages late at night. A NON refundable $500.00 deposite is due within 48 hours of end of auction with the rest within 7 days. I can store the car for a couple of weeks if needed. I have may cars shipped with auto transports I found on a serch and it is amazingly simple.

Porsche Sports Car Together Fest is a labor of many Porsche loves
Sat, Sep 17 2022Over Labor Day Weekend, Porsche held its second annual Sports Car Together Fest (SCTF) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We happened to be nearby, so we swung by to check out an event we’d never heard of until a few weeks before. Reading about it on Porsche's U.S. web site made us think it would be something like Rennsport Reunion for the Midwest. Turns out SCTF is just as much of a different kind of fun. The fest Tom MooreÂ’s the man behind Dark Horse Motorsports, the motorsport consultant for Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) PR. "People love Rennsport Reunion, but thatÂ’s every three to four years," he explained. “We wanted to gather people on those off years, and we didn't want to just do a mini Rennsport, because thatÂ’s its own thing. WeÂ’ve maintained the motorsport history at Rennsport. Here [at SCTF], we're doing the current look at what Porsche racing is for." In this case, that means gathering what Moore called "our Porsche motorsport pyramid." ThatÂ’s the range of enthusiast drivers from novice to hotshoes trying to get to top-tier endurance racing, "[starting] with the progression from Porsche Club of America track days up to the top of the ladder of one-make racing in North America," the Carrera Cup North America, a series made up of nothing but the latest 500-horsepower 911 GT3 Cup cars. The three days of racing action allowed almost any kind of Porsche owner interested in clipping apexes to compete around an Indianapolis Motor Speedway layout tweaked with an infield section. This year, that included ex-NASCAR star Jeff Gordon, coming out of retirement to reunite with his longtime NASCAR crew chief Ray Evernham for the top-class Cup races. Evernham told us Gordon hasnÂ’t raced in five years and he hasnÂ’t been a crew chief in 22. On very short practice, Gordon finished in 14th in the Pro Class in the first Carrera Cup race of the weekend driving the #24 Hendrick Performance Group Porsche, and 11th in the second race. Afterward, he said, "I made a pass on the white flag lap. That made my whole weekend Â… I must say that yesterday, I thought ‘man, I am getting beat out hereÂ’ and I donÂ’t like that. If I am going to be in an environment like this, I want to be competitive. But today turned the corner for me. So, I hope I get to do another one day." When we strolled the paddock after the event, exposed sheet metal proved "Rubbing is racing" is a thing in the Carrera Cup as well as NASCAR.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
