1968 Pontiac GTO the real deal. Not a clone. Original 242 car.

This is a project car that's fairly complete. It has been sitting since the early 1980's. It starts and can be driven, but would recommend trailering. I have driven it around the block and in and out of the garage.

PHS states it as nightshade green, black interior, black vinyl top, buckets, console, clock, automatic with factory Hurst dual gate shifter, 3.36 gears with open carrier, power steering, factory power disc brakes, soft ray glass, Rally II wheels (correct codes), hide away headlights.

Engine/tranny: are not original. It has a good running 1970 YH code 455 block casting #9799140 with 1967 #143 heads, Edelbrock street dominator intake manifold, Holley 4brl carb, headers, dual exhaust and 1969 turbo 400 trans. The engine does not knock or smoke. Tranny shifts as it should. Battery is brand new.

Body: Car will need full 1/4's, wheelhouses, trunk pan, rear window filler panel, left front fender can be saved right I would replace, floor will need some patches but not full pans. Both doors will need patching—or skins. Rockers are solid in and out. Roof has a hole near front of windshield left over from moisture from vinyl top. Trunk lid has been repaired. Hood can be saved. Front valence is dented but solid. Inner fenders are good. No rust around front windshield. Endura is straight. Rear bumper should be replaced.

Frame: Right frame rail just below the fender dog leg has been repaired and metal finished with two small butt welded plates. Factory contours intact. The rest of the frame is solid.

Interior: All there minus the carpet. Front seats will need new foam and be recovered. Door panels, quarter interior panels, kick panels, rear seat are very nice. Dash pad is near perfect. Steering wheel is very nice. Dash has been cut for a radio. Glove box door and its' interior are very nice. Center console needs to be recovered.

Glass: All soft ray glass is good with no separations and minimal scratches. Front windshield appears new.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

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.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO

Mon, 24 Jun 2013

Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
