1967 Pontiac GTO 2dr. H/T Street/Strip Drag Car.  This car was basically a Street/Strip Drag Car its whole life.  According to the past owner that had it for 40 years most of the miles on the odometer are from the car being flat towed to and from the track.  The car was raced in New York & Ohio in the late 1960's and 1970's up until the middle 1980's.  That is when the motor was blown and the car has sat ever since.  The car was originally Atoll Blue with White bucket seat interior and no vinyl top.  It was a No Power Steering, No Power Brakes straight line type of car.  It has a full factory console in it, bucket seats and lots of vintage speed stuff including:  Horstman Aluminum Cool Can, Hurst Short Shifter with Hurst Line Lock button, Sun fuel pressure gauge, SW Oil, Amp & Temp gauges, plus a Vintage Tach.  This car has had one re-paint in the 80's in the same Atoll Blue.  The motor in the car is believed to be the original motor (code WT) but has a piece of the cam missing so it is estimated that the motor has serious internal damage to it.  The rest of the drive line was all working when the motor was blown in 1986 but it all has been sitting since then so I do not know the condition of any of it.  The rearend spins freely.  The code on the Muncie trans is:  P0D21A, so I assume it is an M20.  I have the drive shaft.  I have a few other parts of the engine ie:  starter, alternator, brackets, pulleys, cast iron intake, headers.  I do not have the heads or the carb for this car.  This car also has a driveshaft loop under it.  The body on this car does have some rust in it.  The trunk floor is completely gone, the rear window area is weak and has rust in it.  The lower part of the body has rust in it.  Also, the front lower windsheild has rust.  The floors have a few holes in them that have been patched but will probably need to be replaced eventually.  The hood has rust in the front lip.  If you live in the Central Florida area and are interested in this car I would suggest that you come and look at the car for yourself.  It is going to need a lot of work to get it back on the road (or strip) but it is fixable.  This car would be really cool to restore it to the way it was raced in the late 60's and 70's.  Most of the vintage speed equiptment is still with the car and it would be easy to restore back to that configuration.  I have a lot of other pictures of this car on Photobucket.  If anyone wants to see those pictures I can email them the link through Ebay or by phone.  I'm sure I am leaving some of the many details about this car out.  Look at the pictures and if you have any additional questions LMK.  You can talk to me via email or at 8 one 3 - seven three 2 - six zero six 8.  Thanks, Curtis

**** NOTICE ******  To answer a few of the questions I have gotten from some Ebay'ers about this car ......  I have the PHS documents to verify the car and the PHS will go to the high bidder of the car.  The PHS states that it is/was a 400 4bar, M20 Muncie trans, 3.55 posi rearend, AM Radio, Console, Deluxe Wheel Discs, Clock, rear seat speaker .....

All ID tags on this car are still it there factory applied positions and are perfect.  The car has a 1983 Ohio title which is open and states that at that time (1983) the car had 46228 miles on it.  The speedo in the car now shows 48765 miles.  Again, I don't have any way to prove it for sure but I believe that this car only has 48765 miles on it from new, as it has been a Drag Car most of its life and has been off of the road now since 1986.

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Pontiac G5 Coupe

Sun, Apr 9 2023

In the grim early days of the Great Recession, the situation at GM's Pontiac Division didn't feel so great but there was some cause for optimism. The Solstice still had a certain glow, the Holden Commodore-based G8 had just arrived, and vehicle shoppers could stride into their local Pontiac showrooms and choose from eight different models bearing the iconic arrowhead badge. Yes, there were still new Torrents and Grand Prix and Vibes for sale in 2008, and of course the Cavalier-twin Sunfire had been replaced by the Cobalt-twin G5 by that time. Here's one of those G5s, found in a Colorado Springs car graveyard. It wasn't long after this car was built that everything went to hell for Pontiac. In April of 2009, GM announced that the Pontiac Division would be "phased out" over the next few years. Just to drive home the point, GM itself filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy five weeks later. GM had already offed Oldsmobile—a marque dating back to 1897, making it nearly 30 years Pontiac's senior—five years earlier, so everybody knew there would be no reprieve in this case. Just to confuse everybody, Pontiac dealers offered a G3-badged Chevy Aveo (aka Daewoo Kalos) to sell alongside the G5 for 2009, but by 2010 there were just two new Pontiac models still standing in the United States: the G6 and the Vibe. Just over 70,000 G5s were sold in the United States during the 2007-2009 model years, making these cars fairly rare. The Cobalt/G5 ignition-switch fiasco of the mid-2010s really hammered their resale value at the time. Sometimes the definition of "Gem" refers to historical value, not the happier kind. Speaking of ignition switches, the key is still in this one. That generally means that a junkyard vehicle is a dealership trade-in or insurance total that couldn't sell at auction. This one is a base model, which listed at $15,675 (about $22,040 in 2023 dollars). The snazzier G5 GT started at $19,850 ($27,911 now) that year. The engine in this car is a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-banger rated at 148 horsepower and 152 pound-feet (the GT got a 2.4 with 171 hp/167 lb-ft). A five-speed manual was standard equipment, but the buyer of this car paid extra for the automatic. GM stuck these little "Mark of Excellence" badges on the fenders of its vehicles starting in 2005, then ditched the idea in 2009. I have vivid memories of this logo from the seatbelt buttons in my parents' 1973 Sportvan Beauville.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.
