PLEASE DO NOT BID UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDS ALREADY AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE PAYMENT IF YOU ARE THE HIGH BIDDER AND WIN THE AUCTION. THANK YOU.
This auction is for a gorgeous 1969 Pontiac GTO hardtop with the extremely rare Ram Air IV engine and the Muncie close-ratio 4-speed transmission. Verdoro green with black interior. New seat covers, carpet, headliner, door panels and weatherstrips. The dash has a couple cracks, most noticeable is above the glove-gox door. This GTO was a professional, frame-off restoration a dozen years ago and only needs minor touch-up to be a show winner now. We have the complete PHS documentation packet. Please see the pics for a scanned copy of the PHS factory invoice. Factory options include: Power steering. Power disc brakes. Factory clock (working intermittently but not reliably). NO tachometer or gauges (kind of odd, but that's how it was ordered and built). Power antenna with AM radio - both working well. Ride and handling package with stiffer springs and shocks. Rally II wheels with NOS trim rings and caps. Wheel opening moldings and rocker moldings. Factory cast-iron headers. Power trunk release. And the legendary Ram Air IV engine option which included the higher-performance engine and also the functional Ram Air system of air pans and scoops and seals that allows the engine to draw in cooler air from above the hood for better performance. The undercarriage is dusty from storage and we haven't taken the time to have it cleaned yet. The spiral shocks and all suspension has minimal use since the restoration was finished. The tires have excellent tread but are well over a decade old. No high-speed blasts would be recommended until they are replaced. They do squeal nicely when you accelerate! The factory invoice indicates that this GTO was also built with a console and door-edge guards, which are no longer there. The doors do have the original holes drilled for the door-edge guards, so we believe that the doors are original to this GTO. Factory built with the 4.33:1 safe-t-track heavy-duty rear end with "N" nodular center and carrier and forged axles - the best rear-end GM ever built - and still in place today. Of the 64,851 GTO hardtops Pontiac built in 1969, only 549 GTOs were equipped with the Ram Air IV engine and Muncie 4-speed transmission. The Ram Air IV is the pinnacle of performance for Pontiac, made only in 1969 and 1970 before Pontiac's compression ratios were lowered in 1971 due to demands from the insurance companies and new regulations from our government. Rare? Let's talk about rare. We've been told that this is one of only 12 Ram Air IV 4-speed hardtops built in Pontiac, Michigan that was then exported for sale in CANADA, however there is no printed documentation of this. Excellent shape overall. The engine was totally rebuilt and runs like new using a Service Replacement (SR) Ram Air IV block with the original '722' heads, original '9796614' Winter's-foundry-marked aluminum intake manifold with separate exhaust crossover and heat shields and factory cast-iron, high-performance exhaust manifolds. Body and paint need a few minor repairs - the paint has about ten chips and a pressure dent about 5" by 8" on the right rear quarter (directly above the wheel well) that should pop out, but the paint there has also cracked. The most noticeable detraction is that the lacquer paint on the hood is checked and cracked - most likely because of the fumes from the crappy fuel we have to use - and the described chips in the paint elsewhere which we have tried to show in the detail pics. These are only visible from certain angles and are invisible from about ten feet away. It may be that the paint is just getting older and needs to be refreshed. Rear bumper and all stainless and chrome trim is bright and shiny. Right now the paint is still nice enough to show off at cruise night without being paranoid about putting the first chip in the new paint. The factory Hurst shifter has just been rebuilt and adjusted, so it works crisply. Transmission makes no odd noises, shifts well both up and down and is in great shape. We did notice yesterday that the front seal on the transmission has developed a slight leak - this will be repaired before the GTO ships. If you would rather deal with it on your end - we can work something out. I also want to point out that there IS a spare tire, lug wrench and bumper jack included with the GTO, on a basic Rally II rim. Nothing spectacular, just a spare tire (an OLD spare tire). The jack's BASE is currently missing - I've been searching for it for about a week but it is still avoiding me at the moment. We reserve the right to end the auction early, even if the reserve has been met, as this GTO is for sale locally and is also advertised on several other venues. We also reserve the right to cancel ANY or ALL bids for any reason we deem fit. Spring has arrived - do you have something REALLY fun to drive this year? Let's fix that right now! There are over one-hundred additional pics available. Email me for the photobucket address. (I can't figure out how to add the link to the auction and eBay is not that helpful when trying to do so.) I can also get pics of any specific detail you wish to see, but don't please email asking for ninety close-up pics of the lug nuts or something goofy like that. Personal inspection can certainly be arranged once your identity is verified and we are comfortable with your intent. Now our additional auction terms: No picture collectors. No joyrides (until after paid in full). No prepaid shipping. No pirates (and I really like pirates, but they're not too reliable). No North Sea oil rig workers. No Nigerian princes or princesses. No Bulgarian money-launderers. No other scams, please. If you want to impress your friends and consider yourself a serious potential buyer, send me an EMAIL with a telephone number AND an email address that I can reach you at so we can discuss. DON'T send me an email that asks "Is IT still available?" Let me know, in your FIRST email that you are interested in the Ram Air IV 1969 GTO if you expect me to take the time to answer. I am more than willing to do a walk-around inspection while speaking on the phone with you. Out-of-country inquiries welcome, but will be scrutinized carefully. I CAN assist with getting this rare and gorgeous 1969 Ram Air IV GTO to Long Beach (or some other California port) for export, if desired. I will also work with you and your transport company to make the GTO's journey to your garage painless. Thank you for taking the time to look at our auction and GOOD LUCK!!! On Jun-18-14 at 22:25:42 PDT, seller added the following information: PLEASE READ - ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR INTERESTED PARTIES: And finally, I must have checked something wrong when I listed this auction because it says I will only accept bids from within the United States - nothing could be further from the truth. I will sell this gorgeous GTO to absolutely ANYONE, ANYWHERE, so long as we can figure out payment arrangements and get it shipped to them. If you reside outside the USA and have not been able to bid, please email and let me know. I can cancel the auction and restart it and allow world-wide bidding. I don't know if this has been a problem for anyone reading this note, but, if it has, I sincerely apologize for the error. Again thanks for your interest in this beautiful muscle car and GOOD LUCK!! |

No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we post about Omaze, it is about some kind of incredible car sweepstakes. Today, well, to be honest, it is more of the same, but in the case of this tastefully done 1969 Pontiac GTO, we don’t even care if you head over to the sweepstakes page to enter, just do it for the photos. ThatÂ’s right. As a self-described automotive photography snob myself, I have to say that the photos of this GTO are far and away the best IÂ’ve ever seen on Omaze. And while youÂ’re over there, might as well enter the drawing. Who doesnÂ’t want that lean, green, muscle machine in their driveway? IÂ’m more of a fastback Mustang guy, and even I was drooling over that GTO. Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Here are the specs of the restored 1969 Pontiac GTO in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: 461 ci fuel-injected V8 Transmission: Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual Drivetrain: RWD Exterior Color: Verdero Green Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 575 hp Maximum Torque: 620 lb-ft Approximate Retail Value: $100,000 Cash Alt: $75,000 Special Features: Butler Performance-built EFI 461, Fast EFI v2.1, 3.73 Gears with Eaton Posi Traction, Wilwood 6-piston brakes with hydroboost, Ridetech Coilovers and muscle bars, Chassis Works billet drop spindles, staggered 18” Budnik billet wheels, Budnik steering wheel IÂ’m not the only one on the Autoblog staff who thinks this restoration is worthy of a little praise. News Editor Joel Stocksdale picked it above all the other current Omaze offerings for our holiday staff picks post. HereÂ’s what he had to say: “There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod. And a lot of those ways can be boring or tasteless. This one is neither. This is a seriously classy Pontiac GTO. Under the hood is a 461 cu. in. V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals. And the interior is the same with just an upgraded steering wheel, shifter and pedals in an otherwise stock cabin. Oh, and it has a manual.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Junkyard Gem: 1997 Pontiac Sunfire SE Convertible
Sun, Mar 5 2023For the entire 24-year production run of the GM J platform (best known for the Chevrolet Cavalier), the Pontiac Division offered new J-Body cars for sale in the United States. First there was the J2000, followed in quick succession by the 2000, 2000 Sunbird and Sunbird. The Sunbird stuck around until the Cavalier got a major redesign for the 1995 model year, at which point Pontiac changed the car's name to Sunfire. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those early Sunfires, a top-of-the-line SE convertible with the optional big engine and manual transmission. The Sunfire was an extremely close sibling to the same-year Cavalier (by the late 1980s, all the other US-market GM divisions had dropped their J-cars, which meant no more Skyhawks, Cimarrons or Firenzas), quite difficult to distinguish from its near-twin at a glance. The base engine for the 1997 Sunfire convertible was the pushrod 2.2-liter straight-four that powered so many J-bodies of the 1990s. That engine produced just 120 gnashing, valve-floating horsepower, not much by late-1990s standards. For a mere 450 additional dollars, however, the 2.4-liter Twin Cam engine and its high-revving 150 horses could be had by '97 Sunfire buyers. That's what's in this car. This is one of the members of the Oldsmobile Quad 4 family, though some fanatics will yell at you if you apply that name to the versions that don't have big QUAD 4 lettering cast into the valve cover. This is the most powerful engine ever used in production Sunfires. For 1997, Pontiac offered a four-speed automatic transmission for no extra cost in the Sunfire convertible. Buyers of all other Sunfire models that year had to shell out either $550 or $810 ($1,026 or $1,511 in 2023 dollars) for a two-pedal rig. That means that the buyer of this car really wanted the five-speed manual transmission (or just hungered for the $810 credit offered in the fine print for takers of the manual). Plenty of free-breathing engine power, five-on-the-floor driving enjoyment and the open skies above. What a fun car! This one made it to nearly 180,000 miles. For this car with the Quad 4 under the hood and a clutch pedal on the floor, the MSRP was $18,539 (about $34,584 today). Its Cavalier LS convertible twin with the same engine/transmission setup cost $17,365 ($32,394 now). This car has a bunch of options, including the 15" Rally aluminum wheels, so the out-the-door price would have been higher. The last year for the Sunfire was 2005, same as the Cavalier.
