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. |

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag
Wed, Feb 20 2019Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan
Tue, Feb 7 2017During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
