Hardtop Sport Coupe comes finished in Starlight Black (originally Q Verdoro Green) over Black vinyl interior (originally 221 Gold) upholstery with factory correct Black Cordova roof (2). Options on this start with a numbers matching 400ci/360hp V8 with factory 4-speed close-ratio manual transmission & Hurst shifter, 3.55 conventional rear end, power disc brakes, power steering, bucket seats with center console, factory-optioned hood mounted tachometer, push-button AM radio with Stereo 8-track player, 15”x7” Rally II wheels with white letter tires (original 14” Rally II wheels included), passenger visor vanity mirror, rare deluxe wood shift knob, carpeted floor mats, and interior courtesy lights! It maintains it’s original, numbers matching & VIN stamped YS-code engine block (9790071), date-coded Rochester Quadrajet carburetor (7028267), and original date-coded intake; exhaust manifolds, heads, & other factory components. The transmission is also numbers matching with factory correct date stamp designation as well as the factory original 10-bolt rear end with visible WH stamp. The engine was fully disassembled to check for wear, and found to be in splendid condition internally! The cylinder walls were only ball-honed to better seat the new rings, the original crank was polished, all new cam & bearing, main & rod bearings installed, all fresh gaskets, rebuilt heads with fresh valve job, new springs, rebuilt carburetor, and all new hoses, clamps, belts, and fluids! The transmission was fully serviced, resealed, and received a brand new clutch assembly. The rear axle got new seals & bearings along with fresh fluid. It remains totally stock with a factory odometer reading of only 86,231original miles to date! This superb 3-owner GTO was purchased new from Finch Pontiac Sales located in Salem, MO in the Spring of 1968. The second owner took possession in September of 1970 and enjoyed for next nearly 11 years. He finally sold it in Feb 1981 to the third owner from Lindsay, Oklahoma who decided to strip the car for a complete nut-and-bolt restoration started in approximately 2005. As the process begun, time and resources fell short, and the entire project was picked up & completed by C&J Classic & Muscle Cars based in Lebanon, MO. Their brilliant experience in classic Pontiac restorations shows impeccably throughout, with attention to even the smallest of details! The body possesses original sheet metal that received only minor rust repair. The highly detailed, rust free chassis received all new suspension components, all new brakes, all new dual exhaust, new wheels & tires, fuel lines, e-brake cable, etc. Inside, everything from the carpet to the headliner is completely new. Only the date-coded seatbelts remain. This is a terrific car and will absolutely make for a superb future investment!

With approximately 100 miles on this completed showpiece today, we couldn’t be more excited to deliver it to a proud new owner! Please feel welcome to call with any additional questions.

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

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.

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?
