THIS CAR IS A SURVIVOR!!!

 

 

Extremely original numbers matching 1967 GTO Hardtop in Gulf Turquoise with Turquoise interior.

 

 

The car was ordered heater delete. It was built in Freemont, California and shipped to Hawaii. The correct dash blockoff plate has never been touched and the firewall cover is still in its place from the factory. This is an extremely rare option. I have never seen another 1967 GTO with heater delete.

 

 

Interior - is unmolested and is in excellent condition. The dash pad is perfect. The dash has its normal wear experienced during the last 47 years but is in excellent shape. I would like to stress that the interior has been virtually untouched since the car rolled off the assembly line. The headliner could use a little work but is not in need of replacement. The seat belts are clean and original in perfect working order. The steering wheel has the normal cracks seen in these types of cars. It still has the original am radio from the factory. The console shows signs of the veneer (sticker - which I have a replacement) peeling slightly due to age. The car has the optional Hurst Dual Gate controlling the original Turbo 400 transmission.

 

 

Paint - This car is very solid. I believe it has had one repaint during its lifetime. It has a few blemishes and bumps but nothing major in any way. There two small places where the paint has bubbled. I have owned the car 16 years and received it in this condition, if any corrosion were going to happen it would have happened by now. There are two places on the right front quarter panel where the paint is chipped. The car has never seen snow and rarely even rain, always been kept garaged and covered.

 

 

Chrome - Overall the chrome is in excellent shape. The bumpers show the perils of being a daily driver during part of its life.

 

 

Undercarriage - was undercoated from the factory and has not been touched. The frame and floors are rock solid with no rust. The gas tank is original, never being off the car. The car has new 2 1/2 inch exhaust with Flowmaster 40s. The car has headers, but included in the sale are the original cast iron exhaust manifolds. They can be seen in the pictures of the trunk. These were media blasted and painted in high heat grey. They were also extrude honed to clean up the air flow. I must stress they are original to the car.

 

 

Suspension - has been redone including new ball joints, shocks, springs and tires. The rear end is stock with a 3.90 gear set from the factory. The rear diff cover has never been off. The brakes were redone using stock components. They are four wheel drum and stop very well.

 

 

Engine - is as bone stock as they come. It is a 335 horse 400. The Quadrajet, intake, distributor, pulleys, and heads, are all original to the car. There are no underhood components missing from the factory install. This car is complete. I had the engine rebuilt 5000 miles ago by a professional rebuilder and it runs like factory. No issues here. The car starts, runs and idles like it was new. When the engine was rebuilt the heads were treated to a valve job including hardened valve seats for use with today’s lead free fuel. I have the original air cleaner and it will come with the car. It is in excellent condition as well. The radiator was reconditioned during this time. As you can see, the correct fan shroud is in place. There is nothing missing from this car. The original flywheel was replaced last year. It failed resulting in a half moon being clipped out of it by the starter due to age.

 

 

Transmission - is the correct and original Turbo 400 that came with the car. It was treated to a rebuild and a shift improver kit when the engine was rebuilt. It also has 5000 miles on it since being rebuilt. The shifts are crisp and solid.

 

 

The Body Tag decodes as follows:

 

 

ST 67-242217

 

 

67=1967

2=Pontiac

42=GTO

17=2 door hardtop

BF=Fremont California

220=interior code (turquoise)

K=lower paint (Gulf Turquoise Metallic)

K=same as above

01236=sequential unit number

 

 

Mileage - Since the engine was rebuilt, the engine and transmission have approximately 5000 miles on them. The new suspension components, exhaust, and tires have even less.

 

 

In conclusion, what we have here is a very original 1967 GTO. Driving it in this original condition is like a flashback to the 1960's. The new owner has the choice to restore it to concourse condition, or drive it across the country. It is that dependable. I must stress that this car has a rebuilt engine and transmission that run perfectly. It also has new tires, ball joints, springs, shocks, exhaust, and a rebuilt original radiator. This car is a driver and a great candidate for a complete restoration. It is missing nothing that it didn’t roll off the assembly line with or in this case, without. That would be the heater delete. Good luck bidding!

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac 6000 LE Safari Wagon

Wed, May 27 2020

The Detroit station wagon was fast losing sales to minivans and trucks as the decade of the 1980s progressed, but Pontiac shoppers still had plenty of choices as late as the 1988 model year. A visit to a Pontiac dealership in 1988 would have presented you with three sizes of wagon, from the little Sunbird through the midsize 6000 and up to the mighty Parisienne-based Safari. Today's Junkyard Gem is a luxed-up 6000 LE, complete with "wood" paneling, found in a car graveyard in Fargo, North Dakota. Confusingly, the "Safari" name in 1988 was used by Pontiac to designate both a specific model — the wagon version of the Parisienne/Bonneville— and as the traditional Pontiac designation for a station wagon. That meant that the wagon we're looking at now was a Safari but not the Safari in the 1988 Pontiac universe. The 6000 lived on the GM A-Body platform, as the Pontiac-badged version of the Chevrolet Celebrity. Production ran from the 1982 through 1991 model years, with the A-Body Buick Century surviving all the way through 1996. The LE trim level came between the base 6000 and the gloriously complex 6000 STE (which wasn't available in wagon form, sadly). I visited this yard in Fargo after judging at the Minneapolis 500 24 Hours of Lemons in Brainerd, Minnesota, last fall. Up to that point, I had visited 47 of the Lower 48 United States, with just North Dakota remaining, so I made a point of doing a Fargo detour in order to check that state off my list. I'm pleased that I found such a good example of the 1982-1996 GM A-Body in this yard, because the most famous of all the A-Bodies is the 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera driven to Brainerd by the inept Fargo-based kidnappers in the film "Fargo." This Minnesota-plated 6000 had some rust, but just negligible levels by Upper Midwestern standards on a 31-year-old car. The interior looked very good, with the original owner's manual still inside. The 6000 LE boasted "redesigned contoured seats and London/Empress fabric," which sounds pretty swanky. Something less swanky lives under the hood: an Iron Duke 2.5-liter pushrod four-cylinder engine, known as the Tech 4 by 1988. The Iron Duke was, at heart, one cylinder bank of the not-quite-renowned Pontiac 301-cubic-inch V8; while fairly rugged, the Duke ran rough (typical of large-displacement straight-four engines) and made just 98 horsepower in this application. Pontiac offered a couple of optional V6s in the 6000 in 1988, but no Quad 4.

Looking Back At Oprah's Free-Car Giveaway 10 Years Later

Fri, Sep 12 2014

Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6." But this is not just any G6. This car is a part of television history. Vielweber won her G6 10 years ago at a taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show, when Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car. It was an unprecedented stunt that changed lives, generated controversy and ultimately failed to provide enough of a marketing lift for Pontiac, which would be shuttered just over five years later. September 13 marks the 10-year anniversary of the memorable event, which caught everyone, including audience members, by surprise. In a masterful display of showmanship, Oprah dialed up the suspense to match the enormity – and cost – of the event. First she gave away 11 cars, which would have been a landmark TV promotion by itself. But then she coyly announced: "I've got a little twist." Models circulated throughout the audience carrying silver platters loaded with white boxes wrapped in red ribbon. One contained a set of keys, Oprah implied, for another audience member to win the final car. "Do not open it. Do not shake it," she commanded the crowd. Finally, with the suspense built to a fevered pitch, everyone opened their box. They all had keys. "You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!" Oprah exclaimed. "Everybody gets a car! Everybody gets a car!" This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Everybody did get a car. But not everyone kept it. William Toebe attended the show with his wife, Jillaine, and he immediately thought of the tax implications, which stretched to $6,000 or more for some audience members. It was a tough reality for many in the audience that day, some of which had been selected based on their need for a new car. "That responsible part of me stepped forward and wondered 'where am I going to get the money to pay the taxes?'" he recalled.

Want to buy a worst-in-show-winning Faux Ferrari Fiero?

Mon, Aug 31 2020

UPDATE: This heap sold for $5,001. But don't fret, there are more terrible cars out there for the taking if that's your thing. Today we bring you something truly terrible. It's not just a fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero, it's actually the world's worst fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero. And it's got the award from the Concours d'Lemons to prove it. It's so heinous, in fact, that it has somehow managed to become desirable, at least judging by the bidding history of this bright red affront to Maranello. Powered by a 140-horsepower 2.8-liter V6 engine (covered by an unconvincing and broken fake V12 cover) hooked to an automatic gearbox, this gloriously poor Prancing Horse won't be winning many stoplight drag races. There are bundles of stray wires hanging down from the dashboard, it has high mileage, most of its lights don't work, and it's ugly. Like, really ugly. And to top it off, this Fauxrarri can't currently be registered in its home state of California because it has failed its most recent smog test. Put simply, you're looking at a total piece of junk. But a piece of junk with internet notoriety, having been featured on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage after attending the 2019 Quail Motorsports Gathering — by mistake at first, and then earning a special place next to the porta potties — being the focus of a video series on YouTube and winning the aforementioned ribbon for Worst in Show at Lemons. Somehow, bidding has topped $4,000 at the time of this writing. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
