THANKS FOR LOOKING AT MY TRANS AM AUCTION. THIS CAR IS ALL ORIGINAL AND VERY SOLID. I OWN A BODY SHOP HERE IN VIRGINIA AND JUST FINISHED A COMPLETE REPAINT. THIS INCLUDED STRIPPING THE CAR TO BARE METAL AND REPAIRING ANY PROBLEM AREAS, EPOXY PRIMERING, 2K PRIMERING, BLOCKING AND FINALLY FINISHING UP WITH A BASE CLEAR PAINT JOB. I WOULD RECOMMEND FINISHING THE CAR WITH TRIZACT SANDING AND BUFFING. THE CAR HAS MINOR DIE BACK THAT COMES WITH ANY MULTPLE LAYERS OF MATERIAL. ( I COULD HAVE IT DONE IF WINNING BIDDER WOULD LIKE TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE ) I HAVE TAKEN THIS RESTORATION TO A POINT THAT ANYBODY COULD FINISH AT HOME. THE EXPENSIVE PART THAT MOST PEOPLE CONTRACT OUT IS DONE. THE CAR WILL NEED ALL OF THE CORRECT EXTERIOR DECALS, STRIPING, RUBBER SEALS, TIRES, ONE RIM WITH TRIM RING AND CENTER CAP AND A PARTIAL TO FULL INTERIOR KIT .THE CAR WILL COME WITH THE ORIGINAL 400 ENGINE. THIS ENGINE WILL NEED A COMPLETE REBUILD. THE 400 THAT IS CURRENTLY IN THE CAR IS BELEIVED TO BE OUT OF A LATE 76 EARLY 77 TRANS AM. THIS ENGINE DOES HAVE A "NOISE " KNOCK WHEN IT RUNS, THE OIL PRESURE IS GREAT. ITEMS THAT ARE NEW THAT I INSTALLED INCLUDE PLUGS, INTAKE AND VALVE COVER GASKETS, ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP AND CARBURATOR KIT. I AM SURE THAT YOU MAY FIND OTHER THINGS THAT YOU FEEL THE ENGINE IN THE CAR MIGHT NEED. THIS IS AN ALL ORIGINAL CAR RIGHT DOWN TO THE SOLID EXHAUST WHICH STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE UNDERSIDE IS VERY SOLID WITH A DIME SIZE RUST SPOT AROUND THE CONVERTER, THIS CAR IS AVAILABLE FOR SALE LOCALLY AND OTHER AREAS, SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IF NECESSARY. I WOULD ENCOURAGE INTERESTED PARTIES TO COME BY TO THE SHOP FOR AN INSPECTION. I AM IN VIRGINIA, SO PLEASE RESPECT THE TIME DIFFERENCE IF YOU ARE CALLING FROM A DIFFERENT TIME ZONE. PLEASE CALL MIKE FOR QUESTIONS. THANKS 540 353-2269

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction

Sat, Apr 4 2020

Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction.  As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country.  In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals.  This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer.  The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information.
