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.

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.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
