Marion, Connecticut, United States
Just like this auction reads! Yes this is a True Original 1968 Pontiac Gto Convertible 4 speed Convertible HO that only 761 of these were produced in 1968 from GM. This Goat needs total restoration but has had some of the work has already done. This HO does not have its original vin stamped WS 400ci motor that it came from the factory with now. It does have another original 1968 Gto Convertible HO 400ci WS one in it once again! The motor has been checked and came from another 1968 Gto HO Convertible 4 speed that was totalled years ago when it spun out and rearended a bridge embuttment! I had found this many years ago complete and all remaining parts to the car and purchased them for another project and this gto came along without its match so I figured a perfect fit now! Times certainly have changed for me so here yah go its up for grabs! A true PHS documented HO 1968 Gto Convertible! Serious Gto restorers take a look! The car will need to be towed away and right as it sits does not run under its own power because in a stage of restoration but all parts will be back on this Goat for its safe travel. The motor and tranny and rear are put back in but not wired up. I have all the original harness's. The car is a Factory GM Solar Red Exterior with a black top and black interior from the Baltimore Plant. This Gto's Option are as following: Rally Gauges and tach with a tilt steering column which the tilt steering column is gone now, Endura with hideaways,Radio AM pushbutton,Rear seat speaker,Vanity Visor mirror RH,Drivers remote mirror,Rally II wheels,Floor shift knob custom,Ride and handling package,floor mats front pair,Air cleaner dual stage on to this Goat through the years! Solid nose with mint doors and nice trunk lid and nice original valance panel and parking lights. This Gto will still need floor work and trunk pans. The frame is solid. Like I said this will need total restorations but is a great solid investment! I just watched here on Ebay another sale go for an HO 68 convertible in the same condition but Numbers on the motor not WS but WT and it sold for 18K. My Goat here is for less and getting a better deal for sure! The interior of this convertible is original and all there but will need to be redone also. The last picture of the car together was when i purchased it and drove it into the garage before resto started. I have the open Mass Title in hand with PHS docs and a copy of the original window sticker too.I have other pic's and will take more and post soon. thanks |

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle
Sun, Aug 21 2022The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.
