1968 GTO in Vordero Green with black interior. ram air and 4speed, somewhat early production car. PHS(pontiac historical society) documented, real GTO with a 242 vin. original 400, 4speed transmission, ralley guages, boxed/reinforced rear trailing arms from the factory, a/c, hidden headlights, door edge guards(installed a littler higher on one door from the factory-so they were reinstalled where the factory had put them), front bumper fits nice and headlamp doors work! old am radio works. original color combination of vordero green with black interior. the paint is extremely nice and restored correctly under hood and trunk. nice and restored dash. has old water transfer Royal Racing Team decals on quarter windows. i have a old Bryant Pontiac license plate frame still somewhere and will goes with car. i am the 2nd owner per the gentleman i bought it from...his son was the original buyer from Bryant Pontiac in Covina, CA-built in van nuys, ca. the son passed away and had the car on the side of his house for years and years. the vehicle had ram air parts added by his son with parts from the dealership when purchased new according to the dad who sold it to me( old pontiac part numbers are cast into the hood scoop inserts that are open for the ram air...these are not reproduction). the underside is very nice and has been painted. mostly N.O.S. trim parts and used as little aftermarket as i could get away with. the car is litterally like new and really only needs someome else to drive it, as i have several cars and projects and this GTO is just sitting around because of it's excellent condition...yes, it's pretty much a trailer queen...you can change that. restored approx. 5-6 years ago. just had detailed recently...never had water or a wash, to keep any chance of even surface rust from occuring. trim is near perfect. hidden headlamps/grilles and heaqdlamp covers are original and restored properly and not aftermarket chinese junk. has a/c but could use the 134freon conversion(which is cheap and easy to do) runs great and shifts great...runs and works well as it should. original console restored, original bumpers are on the car, rally II wheels with N.O.S. beauty rings that i bought years ago and N.O.S. Goodyear bias-ply tires, and are not reproduction. the car is incredible. only took it to 1 show and won 1 trophy recently. exhaust trumpets on new exhaust. is missing the original intake, distributor(has HEI) and exhaust manifolds. has the old mickey thompson headers that were on the car and wrapped old-school drag style. has a new gas tank and was gone through to make sure good to run prior to the recent car show i took the car to. people went nuts over the car. the guys at Original Parts Group saw the car and were extremely impressed by the build quality of the car. THIS IS NO CLONE and I HAVE PHS PAPERWORK. all finishes correct in the right places(as i've had several GTO's and always consult my GTO expert and judge who judges events across the country for GTO events)..needs little to be 100%...if you want date coded manifold/carb/dist. i can set you up with the right person(s). engine rebuilt, trans rebuilt, diff rebearinged when restored. drives nice, runs nice...just nice, nice, nice through and through. if you were disappointed when you get the car, i'd have to say you are nuts and perhaps pickier than i've ever been. The reserve is $36,000.00. got that into it, and more-affraid to really add up the real costs. got correct nuts, bolts, fasteners in the correct places...high-effort went into this to be correct...not 'mickey moused'. not a rust bucket...prior to being restored we had to repair small area at rear window corners...repair done correctly. quarters good, doors, roof, fenders were all rust free. CA car that had been mostly covered in sunny OC, CA for decades prior to the restoration...thankfully saved me from much rust to deal with. look at the pictures and it looks great...pictures do not do this car justice and probably nicer than most freshly restored gto's. any more questions, just ask please... should mention that there is no warranty or guarantees on the car, and is AS-IS. it is nearly 50 years old after all. just check out the pictures and see what you think. No PayPal -sorry yal.
On Sep-03-14 at 22:08:55 PDT, seller added the following information: i'm hoping when you've read the description, that, it is understood; this is a ram-air package that was added to a non-originally ram-air car...although it is a 4speed car with original motor, trans, differential...just trying to make it clear and no confusion...thanks for looking. On Sep-04-14 at 13:29:07 PDT, seller added the following information: a/c works but is r12 currently. Bryant Pontiac license frame found and in the vehicle-is broken...sorry, but it is there. will add more as I receive messages asking questions. |

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds
Tue, Mar 29 2016For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
