Up for sale, a 1968 GTO Convertible. Not many convertibles were made in 1968. Some minor rust here and there, but nothing unrepairable in my opinion, but I am not a professional body man. I believe the front fenders have been replaced, a trunk pan installed prior to me purchasing the car. The car started and ran when I purchased about a year ago. I removed the non matching engine and trans and sold, as I was going with LS3 engine. I pulled the front end off the car and the radiator support was completely rusted out, but fenders, inner fenders are ok. Minor rusting on front endure bumper and lower valence. the rest of the car is intact in one piece. The interior seems complete, including seats in good condition, original wood steering wheel, convertible top that will go up and down on it's own with a battery, but has been sewn on both sides, does not appear to leak. Original dash, gauges etc. Non factory radio, and the center console has been cut to accommodate a manual trans. Carpet is still in, not sure if original, but pretty good shape. Door panels are there, both need repairs at the bottom, window rollers are there. The convertible boot, or parade cover is gone. No spare, no jack. Frame seems to have surface rust, but I see nothing rusted through. Exhaust is still on the car, manifolds back, but all is pretty rusty. Driveshaft is good. Unsure is rearend is factory or not. 4 wheel disk brakes, unsure if wheels are 68, or original GTO rims. There are a few places on the body that appear to have been painted over rust w/o repairing, like the decklid (minor) and a cracked bondo spot on passenger door. The R Rear marker light is missing. The vinyl on dash is cracked. About 1/2 of the chrome is in good shape, the other half has some dents, but I think it's all present. Not hideaway headlights. It did run, but the brakes did not work, I do not know why. I am selling, because I have had it a year, and haven't had time to touch it and don't see it happening any time soon. I purchased from a dealer in Maine as a project car, and shipped it down to Texas. Before Maine it was in Michigan most of it's life, which explains some of the rusting. The pictures make the car look good, but I have taken the front end off the car. This is a project car, and not perfect, but it sure is nicer than a lot of the projects I see for sale with half the car missing. This car has been stored indoors for the last year. Any questions feel free to ask. I will work with your shipper, you can pick up, or I can even deliver to your door for additional cost. $500 due at auction end, balance in cash when picked up. If I deliver, delivery fees paid up front. Car is sold as is, where is with no warranty expressed or implied.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car
Mon, Nov 30 2020Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video: Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics
