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.

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.

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.

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.

Rent the 1967 Pontiac GTO from the XxX films now on Turo

Tue, Jan 10 2017

The process of renting a car usually ranges from mildly annoying to "I'm calling corporate to get you fired." Plainly, it sucks, but sometimes you're left with no alternative. Turo, a peer-to-peer carsharing network, has created what's essentially the AirBnB for cars. Like AirBnB, the quality and variety of the rides varies based on location. If you're in Tucson, Ariz., in the next week, go check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible before the release of XxX: The Return of Xander Cage. Promotions and marketing aside, this is still the opportunity to drive one of the original muscle cars. It's not clear if this is an original GTO or a Pontiac Tempest that was converted, but does it really matter? Old cars never drive as well as you hope, so, as long as it looks and sounds awesome, who cares? The owner listed on Turo is Xander C., Vin Diesel's character from the XxX franchise. This is the car that was used in the original 2002 film, and from the photos it appears to be in better shape than many other movie cars. The exterior is mostly stock, with some slight modifications to the lighting, wheels, exhaust, and trim, with the addition of a funky looking hood scoop that the listing claims shoots flames. It's not clear if it functions as an actual intake because there aren't any notes about what rests under the hood. The listing does ask for premium fuel, so more than likely it's some variation of a high-compression V8. Inside, the dashboard looks like someone raided the AutoZone accessory aisle. There are gauges, dials, toggle switches, and readouts galore. The listing also claims the Goat is packing a rocket launcher and a weapons stash under the seat. $999 per day isn't cheap, but it's less than you'd pay for a day with one of the rent-an-exotic shops you see in Los Angeles or New York. If you're not in Tucson or the price is a little too steep, Turo has what it's dubbed the Adrenaline Collection. The name may be hyperbole, but the lineup of cars is actually really solid. A quick glance reveals a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider, and a 1969 Jaguar E-Type. The car list keeps expanding, so if this proves popular, look for more cool stuff in the future.
