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: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe

Sat, Jun 11 2022

General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile

Thu, Mar 26 2015

So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years

Mon, Dec 17 2018

An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.
