Unknown if odometer is correct, but shows 80K miles,"

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.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.

Burt Reynolds’ former 1978 ‘Smokey’ Pontiac Trans Am in big auction by feds

Mon, Oct 21 2019

A 1978 Pontiac Trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds as a memento of the car he drove in the film “Smokey and the Bandit” will be among nearly 150 muscle cars and luxury vehicles seized from the alleged perpetrators of an $800 million investment scheme that will hit the auction block this weekend in California. ItÂ’s said to be the largest single-owner car collection ever auctioned by the U.S. Marshals, seized late last year from Jeff and Paulette Carpoff, the founders of the now-defunct mobile solar generators company DC Solar. Two employees of the San Francisco Bay Area solar energy company, certified public accountant Ronald Roach, 53, and general contractor Joseph Bayliss, 44, both of the Bay Area. pleaded guilty Tuesday to participating in what federal prosecutors say was a massive scheme that defrauded investors of $1 billion. Both men agreed to cooperate in the ongoing investigation. While the Carpoffs, the company's owners, have not been charged, they agreed to let the government auction their collection of 150 classic, performance and luxury vehicles, including the 1978 Pontiac Trans Am once owned by Burt Reynolds. The replica of the car the late actor drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and the other vehicles are to be auctioned Saturday, with online bidding already pushing the accumulated value past $5.5 million. Bidding on that Trans Am alone had topped $65,000 by late Tuesday. The auction company said it had been driven less than 3,400 miles. It's the largest single-owner car collection ever auctioned by the U.S. Marshals Service. Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lasha Boyden of the Sacramento office called it "a stunning collection of vehicles" that also includes 1990s Humvees, 1960s-era Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros from several decades, plus older cars including a 1939 Buick Roadmaster, a 1951 Chevy Thriftmaster 3100 pickup truck and a 1941 Plymouth Special Delux with wooden doors and trim. “It is rare for the U.S. Marshals to hold an auction of such a stunning collection of vehicles,” Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Lasha Boyden in Sacramento said in a statement. ReynoldsÂ’ former Trans Am is a hardtop memento of the version he drove in the 1977 action comedy. It bears Bandit Run logos in the rear window and upper windshield and appears to have modified suspension components and bucket seats. It comes with a Florida registration with ReynoldsÂ’ name on it, and an autograph on the glove box that reads, “Be Safe!
