1968 Gto Convertible Nearly Rust Free Project Car on 2040-cars
Clovis, California, United States
|
This is a 95% complete 68 GTO Convertible project car. If you don't like to do rust repair, this car is for you. I spent about $5000. at my local restoration shop having the trunk pan, rear floor pans and the bottom 2" of the left rear quarter panel replaced. The right rear quarterpanel bottom is almost perfect and I have a picture to show that. The quarters and doors have some filler in them which I would remove and refinish. They are not rusty but need some straightening. The only rust repair left to do that I can see is a small patch at the bottom of the left fender and to finish repairs the body shop started on the corners of the inside of the trunklid. I will include an extra trunklid and some pieces to facilitate this repair. The windshield is cracked and has paint overspray on it's inside. The engine is out of the car and is the original numbers matching 400 as is the turbo 400 transmission. I will set these back in the car for shipping. The engine will need rebuilding as it has sat for years. There is very little missing from this car and I believe it to be 95% complete. When I went through the parts I saw nothing of note missing, but when you assemble it im sure there will be some small items needed. The rear bumper is rechromed. Options are : hideaway lights, PS, PB, Auto trans AM/FM [included but will need to be serviced] an AM radio is in the car now, his and hers shifter, RallyII wheels, custom seat belts. Has 2 consoles and extra rear side panels. This car only needs finish body work and paint and could start being assembled. Very original, no modifications of any significance. Have PHS documentation. Very nice, complete project car with a lot of work already completed. Not a rusty mess like most convertibles you will see. Original California black plate.
On Mar-31-14 at 22:24:19 PDT, seller added the following information: The PHS document has a number called the Engine Unit number [379078] . This number is stamped next to the YS on the front of the block. The fenders will need straightening also but are solid except for one small spot at the bottom of the left fender. |

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
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.
