Straight from the barn she lives again!  True 66 GTO never been repainted with 68' 400 Pontiac Engine and Ram Air III #48 Heads Plus Tri-Power and 4 speed Muncie.  Ram Air 3 cam and headers. Has 355 fully POSI traction and posi traction tag still bolted to the inspection plate.   10 bolt rear end.  Power steering and drum brakes.  Car runs great and shifts good.  Stops good.  Last owner has had it since like 85 and has kept it drivable all these years.  The original VIN tag is gone and was legally re-vined in Indiana.  The guy I bought her from says it never had a tag since he had it but he had the correct vin# on the correct title that DMV let him keep after the re-vin.  I have the PHS docs that show it came in Bronze with Black Bucket Seat interior.  This car has original paint and interior.  Yes, it's never been repainted.  So, you can tell the paint code is correct.  This is a true GTO but not numbers matching and the re-vin means the title reads rebuilt.  Now, some guys might take this car and pull the new VIN off and go to one of those title place and get a new title with the old title and have a new VIN made but others won't mind the way it is and will be happy with it the way it is.      

About the GTO body:  Solid floors.  Solid frame.  Never wrecked.  Doors are good.  The quarters had a lower quarter clip put on see pictures and really a great job was done and has been set and ready for bodywork.  One rust hole in the pc the size of a dime in front of the windshield.  All very good glass except windshield.  All good chrome trim in great shape for the year model.  Doors work great.  Lights and most gauges work.  Dash Pad is perfect.  Good lines.  No bubbles under the top, can't believe it but it's true.  Rocker panels pinch rails and door jams no rust and in good shape see pictures.

This is a true GTO muscle car survivor and never been painted or restored so you want be digging into a bunch of bondo!  REALLY GOOD ONE TO restore.  The DMV allowed the protecto plate to stay with the car to identify the correct colors and 242 states it's a true GTO.  Have a clear title in hand...bid to win because this is a unrestored true muscle car and the Ram Air III will not bother most people because they are the top of the line for the Ram-Air III cars and they run real strong and the 66 3 duce is very functional even the center choke works.  I have a good driver side fender extra for the car and also the back bumper with all the brackets on it will go with the car.  If you need to talk to me the number is 6066277583  Check out the youtube video and listen to her run at http://youtu.be/BIaYV-HEgHo

What's driving the spike in air-cooled Porsche 911 prices

Thu, Mar 26 2015

Classic car prices have been racing skyward in general, but prices for air-cooled (pre-1999) Porsche 911s are ascending like they're strapped to rocket boosters. It's been going on for years, and every year people are surprised by how outrageous it's getting: Classic Driver covered it this month, as did The Truth About Cars who included this example of a "scruffy" 1993 RS America with 215,000 miles asking $80K; Mike Spinelli at Drive riffed on it at length last year along with a host of classic-car-market observers; Porsche forums were at it two years ago; and let's not even get into the 993 Turbo, going for prices so high you have to lie down to look at them. Speed Academy has run a piece looking at why it's happening, one theory being that regular-guy owners are hopping on the runaway-price wagon without any good reason. As in the example of that high-mileage, scruffy 911 RS America at Bring a Trailer, the owner sees pristine examples valued by Hagerty at $170,000, and even though the average value is $93,238 he thinks something like, "Mine's got to be worth half of top dollar ..." The tide - even one rising on air - makes it hard to find decent prices. Then there is the flood of money into the market. In spite of articles that try to temper investors' outlooks on collectible cars, other articles in places like the Financial Times and the Guardian promote vintage metal as a safe place to put money and reap astonishing returns. Speed Academy thinks one side effect of high 911 prices is that responsible enthusiasts are turning their attention to cars like the BMW 2002, E30 M3, and E9 3.0CS, saying their prices are "sharply on the rise." The entire article is worth a read since it goes into markets far afield from pricey German steel, but incredibly, the entire piece was actually inspired by a 1997 Acura Integra R that sold for $43,000 on eBay. So while this could be the best time to get into the classic car market if you know what you're doing, it is certainly the best time to do your homework. Related Video:

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

This classic Firebird restomod swallowed a Prius

Tue, Apr 19 2016

It takes an unusual eye to look at a 1967 Pontiac Firebird and see the Toyota Prius hidden inside. But that's just the kind of eye that a creative mechanic known online as "Bill the Engineer" has. Bill is updating his old Firebird into a true classic for the 21st century and has documenting the changes over at Priuschat and EcoModder. The TL,DR version of the story: he's replacing the worn-out powertrain with the gas-electric hybrid one from a Prius V, because it turns out the two vehicles have almost exactly the same wheelbase. Bill, who's from Columbus, Ohio and doesn't want his full name used, said in his posts on the conversion project that he's made many memories with this vehicle since buying it back in 1979. Since then, a few moves, a few decades, and some time in storage meant that the car would no longer function as he wanted it to. As he wrote, "when it comes to mice in the vehicles IT IS WAR." His solution is to make new memories and making a greener vehicle, and so we wanted to ask him how things have been going. Bill's been traveling a bit recently, but told AutoblogGreen that he's now figuring out the next steps for this amazing and complicated project. "I always plan things out before I do them," he said. That's the only way something like this can work. ABG: I think we have to start with what gave you the inspiration for this project. Was it simply that you had the two cars and wanted to see them merged into one cool mashup, or was it something else? "One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid... The rest is history." Bill: I have been the owner of my 1967 Firebird convertible since 1979 when I bought it for $750.00. I drove it for years and made many memories. Afterward it was in storage for many years during which time mice at their way into the car and trashed the interior and wiring. I started working on a conventional restoration but always ran into major problems with hidden corrosion, electrical issues and an engine on its last legs. The car was never going to be as nice as I wanted going the conventional route. One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid like our two daily driver Prii. That got me thinking about how it could be done. The rest is history... ABG: It looks like you started in late 2014. Have things gone well since then, or has it been one hassle after another? What has been the biggest setback, and what were the biggest victories?
