1967 Pontiac Convertible on 2040-cars
Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Crossing the auction block is a frame-off restored 1967 GTO Convertible. This car has been in my family from day one! My brother bought this car in August of 1967 and gave it to me in the Spring of 1994. I did a frame-off restoration in 2006. New floor boards and trunk boards as well as a replacement frame highlight this total restoration. Since then, I put approximately 3,000 miles on the car. This GTO has all the documentation to show that is was born a GTO in Pontiac, Michigan in the Spring of 1967. I have all the manuals including the all important protect-o-plate . In addition, I have the original order form and invoice for the purchase of this car. On the order form the salesman wrote, $10 Deposit ! Those were the days....In addition to my documentation, I have the PHS docs that include a copy of the build sheet and window stickers. This car was delivered to Jo-Duke Pontiac in Arnold, PA. My brother took delivery of his GTO at Clark Pontiac in Wilkinsburg, PA (outside of Pittsburgh, PA) on August 5, 1967. The original color of this GTO was Signet Gold with a factory gold interior. This combination is extremely rare as most of the Signet Gold GTO'S had a black interior. I kept the integrity of this car by painting it Signet Gold and installed a gold interior like the original. This GTO is a numbers matching car with a 400 cubic inch engine generating 335 horse power. The Hurst Four Speed shifter is original. The engine had a complete overhaul and runs very strong. The exhaust system is by Flowmaster. I have four Redline Coker Radials mounted on Rally One Wheels. The Rally Ones and Redlines were an option in 1967 although my brother did not upgrade the wheels . He had the full slotted hubcaps on this car. I took the liberty to put the redlines and Rally Ones on. After the restoration, This GTO was accepted into the AACA Muscle Car Display at the Hershey Automobile Museum in Hershey, PA. I would be happy to answer any questions and provide specific photos upon request. There are no warranties with this car implied or otherwise. I would require a $1000 Dollar deposit within 48 hours of the close of this auction. This deposit should come through paypal. The final payment should be in the form of a bank wire directly to my bank. Upon the ok to release this car from my bank, I will be glad to help facilitate the delivery of this car to the new owner. If you would like specific parts of the car re photographed please let me know and I will try to accommodate. Some of the gold pictures are too gold as they were taken under florescent lighting. The exterior pictures are the tru shade of gold. Feel free to ask any and all questions and I will do my best to answer them. I reserve the right to stop the auction at anytime as this car is being advertised locally. Thanks for your interest. |

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
Are orphan cars better deals?
Wed, Dec 30 2015Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.
Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon
Tue, Aug 9 2016During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon
