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!

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon
Tue, Aug 9 2016During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon
