*  *  1968 Pontiac GTO  *  *

This is a project I bought about 10 years ago.  It was stored inside by the previous owner and has been inside since I've owned it.  I have come to the conclusion that with the other projects I have that I need to sell this one.

I will try to be clear on specifically what this listing includes.  Although this listing does not include everything needed to complete the project, for additional cost I have other parts available.  I have a couple of buildings with a lot of 60's Pontiac parts that I have accumulated over the years.  You can see some of the smaller parts in the background of some of the pictures.  The point is that depending on how you want to build this car, I probably have some parts that can help you out at a reasonable cost.  If you want pure muscle, I have a 421, 455, tri-power, ram air heads, etc.  If you want to go the restoration route, then I have a lot of original parts that can help with that as well.  Just keep in mind, this listing is specifically for the parts as described.

If possible, I encourage whoever buys this project to pick it up so we can work out something on extra parts, if interested.  If you can look at the car prior to bid closing, that is an option.  Please contact me if you have ANY questions or need additional pictures or details.  Also, mileage is what the odometer shows and I assume may not be correct.

   DRIVETRAIN:  Car currently has a 12 bolt rear-end (not original to car).  It has a code CCF1029B1 which according to on-line information is a 3.31 posi from a 1970 Chevelle.  It has a rear sway bar and boxed rear control arms.  It has disc brakes on the front which are also not original to the car according to the PHS documents. Frame is in good condition.  The transmission is a TH400 with a code BC which is a from a Buick with a 430 or 455.  The listing includes a 1968 GTO 400 block as shown in one picture.  Casting code on the block is 9790071 with a YS engine code.  The heads appear to be original to the car with a casting number of 16 and correct date code.  Some of the engine parts included are shown in the pictures, but only what is shown in pictures.  It is missing the intake or carb as well as some other engine / underhood parts.  Wheels have been repainted by previous owner.  New tires have been installed.  Center caps and trim rings are fair.  Wheels, center caps, trim rings are not original to the car.

PLEASE contact me if you need to know anything or need additional information.  I have sold a few other muscle cars on Ebay and the buyer has been pleased everytime.  It is important to me that you are happy with this purchase.  So if you are not serious or unsure, please do not bid.  Again, I welcome anyone to come and check out the car.  I am located in Western NC about 2 hrs North of Atlanta or 1 hr West of Asheville.

One of Burt Reynolds' favorite cars could be yours

Fri, Apr 12 2019

LOS ANGELES — One of Burt Reynolds' favorite cars is going up for auction in June along with some of his cowboy boots, hats, sports jackets and other items from his estate, Julien's Auctions said on Friday. The two-day auction in Beverly Hills, authorized by the actor's family, comes almost a year after the death at age 82 of the charming star who was one of Hollywood's favorite actors. The highlight of the auction is a 1979 Pontiac Trans Am car that Reynolds used on photo shoots and drove on the Bandit Run cross country rally, which re-enacts the journey at the center of his 1977 film "Smokey and the Bandit." The car, which Reynolds co-owned with his business partner Gene Kennedy, is expected to fetch up to $500,000 at auction, Julien's said in a statement. Two pairs of leather cowboy boots — one red and one yellow — are also offered for sale with estimates ranging from $800 to $2,000 a pair, along with two cowboy hats. Reynolds started out as a football player at Florida State University (FSU) before injuries suffered in a car crash wrecked his hopes of a professional career. But his attachment to FSU remained strong. The auction includes several custom or personalized FSU baseball, basketball and varsity jackets. Other highlights include an oil on canvas painting of the actor's favorite horse titled "Cartouche," which carries an estimate of $20,000 - $30,000. Other art works, furniture and dozens of personal items are also being offered for sale. The auction will take place in Beverly Hills on June 15 and 16, and will be preceded by a public exhibition of some of the items from June 10-14. Reynolds, who was also known for the 1960s television series "Gunsmoke" and the movies "Deliverance" and "Boogie Nights,"" died of a heart attack in Florida in September 2018.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition

Tue, Aug 29 2017

The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
