WILL NEED BONDED TITLE WILL NEED BONDED TITLE
 This is a 1968 Pontiac GTO.  A real 242 GTO.
Its quite rare as this is a basically a low to no-option car.
This is a low option car, no power steering, no ac, no power brakes.
It has a two barrel 400, but ive never tried to figure out if its the original motor or not.  They did come that way, and judging by the fact that this is a no option car, its likely it is the original engine.
It does have what I believe to be the original 3 speed manual transmission, it is the FOMOCO 3 speed. A Dearborn m13.
The car has minimal rust.  The floor pans are in great shape, trunk pan needs minor work
Worst part of car is passenger quarter panel  I think it must have sat with that side down and water collected in that part, because the drivers side looks like a completely different car.
It looks as if the body was off at some point and the frame was painted.
The front fenders are off of a LeMans
Car has spare parts in the trunk.  but if you dont see it in the pics, it isnt included with the car.
It has been sitting under a carport for the last 4 years or so.
Car has spent its entire life in Central Texas.
I do have the Texas title to the car, however it was signed in the wrong spot many years ago.
Two years ago I did do the paperwork for the bonded title, but then deployed overseas and never got around to it.
Since I have the original paper title it is no problem to get a bonded title, just mainly the purchase price of the bond, which was $250 when I was going to do it before, but at the time just didnt have the funds.
WILL NEED A BONDED TITLE IN TEXAS, Your state may vary.
Buyer will need to get a bonded title if in Texas.  I will include the bill of sale from my purchase of the car and a bill of sale from me to the new buyer.
Car is located in RED ROCK TEXAS 78662.
A NON REFUNDABLE $500 deposit is due immediately at end of auction, with full payment within7 working days. Car to be picked up within 20 days.  Cash is Preferred for remaining balance. Personal Check is acceptable but must wait to clear before picking up car.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?

Fri, May 27 2016

When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
