Chicago, Illinois, United States
From My Private Collection 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible Real Deal 242 67 GTO Convertible
One Repaint in Starlight Black Black Interior Factory console with rare Hurst Dual Gate (His/Hers) Shifter Power Antenna Power Top Power Steering Power Brakes AM/FM Radio (Very Rare Option) 3.55 Posi Rear End Rally II Wheels
Numbers Matching Born With YS Engine and 062 Heads Original TH-400 Transmission
The intake and carbs were a NOS 65 Tripower Setup (one of the few things not original to the car but still cool)
The car is a completely unrestored aside from one repaint in Starlight Black, and maintenance items. Exhaust is a New Gardner Reproduction. Car fires right up and runs really well and is SUPER Strong!
Transmission Shifts crisp and the brakes stop well.
The interior is completely unrestored and looks fantastic! Virtually no wear on anything! Looks like it was never sat in!
Paint is older but still shows well! You know this car HAS to be straight to be black! Nicely detailed trunk! Quarters are original to the car best I can tell, nice fit and finish!
Paint is older but still looks great. There is a scratch that (may) be able to be rectified with a buffer on the passenger quarter panel and door.
The guy I bought it from owned the car since the mid 80's and the car was sold as part of a divorce settlement. I think the car has had 1000 miles put on it since 1985. The original owner was a international drug kingpin and the car was seized by the DEA in 1969, was the subject of 15 years of litigation and eventually sold for $8600 in 1985 by the Government with 35000 actual miles! I have all that paperwork! Cool Stuff actually. I have a clean and clear title for the car.
I have NO reason to believe the mileage as inaccurate, insofar as you can follow the mileage through the years of paperwork.
A super nice get in and go car.
Car is advertised locally and auction can and will be ended at anytime.
Call 312 622 7533 to discuss! I am not a dealer, I own a repair shop and collect cars.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
