Selling my 1968 GTO Convertible. It's a real GTO, not a clone and has the PHS documentation to prove it. This car is not a show car, but a great driver.
The good: Originally a 400 H.O., 4 speed car. The heads on it now are 455 heads, but I haven't checked the numbers on the block to see if it is truly is a 455, or just the heads bolted to a 400. It runs and drives great. In the last year the Muncy M21 was rebuilt and new centerforce clutch installed, a 4 wheel power disc brake kit with drilled and slotted rotors was installed with front to rear stainless brake lines, new front wiring harness, rebuilt dash cluster ( rally gauges) and clock, new dash knobs and bezels, front suspension rebuilt, new power steering pump, all belts and hoses new, new plugs and wires, rear axle was rebuilt and is from a '67 chevelle that's a 12 bolt posi, tires and shocks are new (rear shocks are air). The top was replaced at some point and is in nice shape but could have been installed better as it has some wrinkles here and there. I have a new cylinder for the top in the box (one leaks some) and also a weather stripping kit for the top in the box. The hood tach works good.
The bad: It has some bubbles in the trunk lid, a few on the hood, some rust on the dash, some scale on top of the windshield frame under the vinyl trim, and couple holes in the floor. The trunk is in excellent shape and the rear quarters have had half skins installed at some point (no bondo). The paint shines up nice but not perfect by any means. The interior is in decent shape for a driver. Seats are the original white and not torn. The door panels have been replaced and are like new but are the "parchment" color so not the correct white. The vinyl wood grain overlay has fallen off the glove box door. It is supposed to have a console but it is missing, as is the door armrests. It could use the rear suspension bushings replaced. The windshield has a couple chips in it. No radio installed.
So in short your bidding on a mechanically great shape car that you can drive wherever (I drove it 200mi round trip last weekend, 70 mph on I95 without a hiccup), leave the body as is so you can drive it without worry that some shmuck is going to open their door into yours and chip your $10k paint job but still look good enough that it gets compliments everywhere. OR you are buying a great start to a full restoration. I'm sure I've missed something so any questions just ask. Thanks and good luck bidding.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
