*  *  1968 Pontiac GTO  *  *

This is a project I bought about 10 years ago.  It was stored inside by the previous owner and has been inside since I've owned it.  I have come to the conclusion that with the other projects I have that I need to sell this one.

I will try to be clear on specifically what this listing includes.  Although this listing does not include everything needed to complete the project, for additional cost I have other parts available.  I have a couple of buildings with a lot of 60's Pontiac parts that I have accumulated over the years.  You can see some of the smaller parts in the background of some of the pictures.  The point is that depending on how you want to build this car, I probably have some parts that can help you out at a reasonable cost.  If you want pure muscle, I have a 421, 455, tri-power, ram air heads, etc.  If you want to go the restoration route, then I have a lot of original parts that can help with that as well.  Just keep in mind, this listing is specifically for the parts as described.

If possible, I encourage whoever buys this project to pick it up so we can work out something on extra parts, if interested.  If you can look at the car prior to bid closing, that is an option.  Please contact me if you have ANY questions or need additional pictures or details.  Also, mileage is what the odometer shows and I assume may not be correct.

   DRIVETRAIN:  Car currently has a 12 bolt rear-end (not original to car).  It has a code CCF1029B1 which according to on-line information is a 3.31 posi from a 1970 Chevelle.  It has a rear sway bar and boxed rear control arms.  It has disc brakes on the front which are also not original to the car according to the PHS documents. Frame is in good condition.  The transmission is a TH400 with a code BC which is a from a Buick with a 430 or 455.  The listing includes a 1968 GTO 400 block as shown in one picture.  Casting code on the block is 9790071 with a YS engine code.  The heads appear to be original to the car with a casting number of 16 and correct date code.  Some of the engine parts included are shown in the pictures, but only what is shown in pictures.  It is missing the intake or carb as well as some other engine / underhood parts.  Wheels have been repainted by previous owner.  New tires have been installed.  Center caps and trim rings are fair.  Wheels, center caps, trim rings are not original to the car.

PLEASE contact me if you need to know anything or need additional information.  I have sold a few other muscle cars on Ebay and the buyer has been pleased everytime.  It is important to me that you are happy with this purchase.  So if you are not serious or unsure, please do not bid.  Again, I welcome anyone to come and check out the car.  I am located in Western NC about 2 hrs North of Atlanta or 1 hr West of Asheville.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Sun, Nov 28 2021

John DeLorean began his career working on Packard's Ultramatic Twin transmission, but he made his greatest mark on the automotive industry during his 1956-1969 tenure at GM's Pontiac Division. There, he helped develop the first production car engine with a quiet timing belt instead of a noisy chain, among other engineering feats, but his real fame came from the development of two money-printing models based more on marketing than machinery: the GTO and the Grand Prix. While the GTO gets all the attention now, the Grand Prix set the standard for the big-selling personal luxury coupes that sold like mad for decades to come. Today's Junkyard Gem is an example of the most powerful Grand Prix available at the turn of the century, found in a Denver-area self-service yard during the summer. The Grand Prix got front-wheel-drive for 1988 and a sedan version for 1990, but then something very beneficial happened in the 1997 model year: supercharging! Various flavors of the venerable 3.8-liter Buick V6 engine (itself based on the early-1960s Buick 215 V8 and thus cousin to the Rover V8) received Eaton blowers, starting in the 1992 model year. The Grand Prix didn't get its introduction to forced induction until the 1997 model year, but it kept the boosted option until the final Grand Prix rolled off the line in 2008 (the final Pontiac followed within a couple of years). This one made 240 horsepower, making it King of Grand Prix engines until the 2005 model year (when the GXP and its 303-horse V8 engine showed up). The very last year for a Grand Prix with a manual transmission was 1993 (there had been a three-pedal Grand Prix drought from 1973 through 1988, just to put things in perspective), so this car has the mandatory four-speed automatic. The Grand Prix lived on GM's W platform for its last two decades, making it sibling to the Impala, Regal, and Intrigue in 2001. Until the 2004 model year, every W-Body Grand Prix was built at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City (no, the other Kansas City). Production of the final generation of Grand Prix took place in Ontario. It seems fitting that this car's final pre-crusher parking spot would be between two other GM products of the same era: a Monte Carlo and a Vibe.

This 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 pace car could be yours

Fri, Jan 29 2021

Hopefully, the fans of GM's W-body '80s/'90s intermediates can forgive us, but we had pretty much forgotten — or had never really known — that one of the ways that era's Pontiac Grand Prix bathed itself in glory was by serving as the pace car for the Daytona 500. In fact, the Grand Prix paced NASCAR's marquee race every year from 1988 to 1992, and again in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2003. That first year, 1988, the Grand Prix was all-new, making its debut on the W-body platform. It was also Motor Trend's car of the year. The 1988 Daytona 500 marked the 17th year in a row that a Pontiac was chosen to set the pace but the first time a front-wheel-drive car was so honored. The '88 Grand Prix followed a spate of Pontiac Trans Ams. This '88 Grand Prix, for sale right now on eBay Motors, is presented as an actual pace car, although fans could order a complete set of pace car decals for their very own GP. The pace car is based on that year's top-spec Grand Prix, the SE. In place of the standard car's 2.8-liter V6, however, the pace car uses a modified 3.1-liter V6, which is hooked to a five-speed manual transmission. This Grand Prix is otherwise largely standard fare excepting the roof-mounted light bar, the switches for which are located next to the radio. The mechanical odometer tucked into the digital instrument cluster shows just over 5,000 miles, and presumably, not all of them were acquired on the high-banked oval. With four days to go in the auction, bidding sits at $4,000 with the reserve unmet. Although the reserve is unknown, one clue is that this Grand Prix had been listed by a classic-car dealership in Pennsylvania for $18,500. Besides the debut of the W-body Grand Prix pace car, the 1988 race is also notable for its final lap: Bobby Allison held off his son, Davey Allison, to take the checkered flag, with the father-son duo enjoying a 1-2 finish. Now, who wants to re-live those Grand Prix glory days? Get on your Pontiac and ride!   This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
