Here is a GTO (Clone) This started out life as a Tempest Custom but as you can see Looks exactly Like a GTO! I have Spent a TON of Money on this car so far Just getting all the required Stuff to convert it into a GTO. It is Not just a hood swap like a lot of guys do and then call it a clone I went the Whole Nine yards and bought just about EVERYTHING!!!!! As you can see we changed the Tail Light Panel to a GTO, I found a set of GTO Tail Lights and they are Installed with New Gaskets and Bolts. I also found a Real set of GTO Grilles (not repo's) I bought the GTO Parking Lights and they are Brand New in the Box. Grille Surrounds are still needed. I have new Window felts in The Box, New Door Handles, EVERY GTO Emblem that goes on the car. (Inside and out) I also have the GTO Lucite that goes above the Glove Box and the Grab Handle. I have a Brand New Trunk Seal and I also Bought Brand New Bumpers that are still in the Box! I also had the Bumpers Brackets Sand Blasted and Powder Coated. (most of them can be seen on the spare tire in the trunk) I also Bought a 1967 Center Console and "His And Hers" Shifter and I put New Wood grain on the Console and the Shifter. I also have all the Brackets needed to install and hook up the Console and Shifter! The Dash also has New Wood Grain on it. .. The Hood is A Factory GTO Hood, (Not a Repo) The car has a New Dash Pad, new arm rest bases and Pads and New Rugs. Car Also has a New Dual Exhaust with Flowmaster Mufflers. Top has never really been out in the Weather since it was Installed. I also have Brand New Wheel Well Moldings, and the Chrome that goes on top of the Door Edge and Quarter edge... It is supposed to have a 1969 350 in it and it has an Aluminum Intake and a Holley Carb. The car Also has Power Steering and Power Brakes.... All it needs Now is to be Block Sanded and Painted. Recover the Interior and You'll have a Beautiful Convertible for the Summer! The floors and trunk are Solid, No rust!.. The Underside Looks Great!! .. This is a Very Solid car! I just put a New Battery in it from "Sams's Club" 5 Months ago. It will need a Battery tray. (I didn't get one because I was considering putting a Chevy Motor in it and I would have to relocate the battery Tray to the Opposite side) It also has Air Shocks on it. There is tons of stuff in the trunk to finish the car, Sand Paper, air board paper, thinner, some primer, Lacquer Thinner ect ect.... The car was Original Red, I was going to redo it Red with a White Interior. .It would look Gorgeous!!! But I lost Interest. Like I said I have a Ton of time and Money in it so far, My Loss is your gain! There isn't much left to do! I know I,m forgetting stuff and I'll try to add later. Check out the Pictures. Thanks for Looking. Buyer is responsible for Shipping. Uship.com is probably the most reasonable. They bid for the Lowest Price. Also wanted to say that the Tires are still new, Just have been going around the Block from time to time. Also the car is Located in Sewell, NJ 08080 at this time if anyone wants to see it. I am Currently in Florida but My Brother can show it to you if needed. Thanks for looking.

Just so everyone know, to change the Interior over to White it will cost a total of $1195.00 from a Company called "TamRaz" That includes Everything even a Convertible top boot. If you want to keep the car with Black interior it would be cheap to finish, you would Only need front door panels and front seat covers. I have over $15K invested in this car. You can buy it here for less and still have a Finished Product for under $20K. You could be cruising in a Car that Looks like its Worth $50,000 for under $20,000. I have included 2 Pictures of How I was going to make the car look. See the 2 Pics I just added. This is what the car would look like when finished!

I would like to add that I may be interested in a Trade, I would prefer a 1967 to 1969 Camaro or a 1964 to 1972 Chevelle / Elcamino.. I,m a Chevy Guy. But I may be open to any Interesting trade of equal value or above. .. Remember, when the Top goes down the Price goes up! ... I just added 4 more Pictures, they are what the car looked like before I started working on it. As you can see the car was in very good condition before I started.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673
Fri, Apr 9 2021This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.
