1968 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Junction, Illinois, United States
Just email me at: diedreokino@netzero.net . This beautiful GTO has been frame off, rotisserie restored with the highest attention to detail. Everything about
this car says "here I am". The car is PHS document certified and included. It is also an original HO 4 speed
documented GTO,1 of which only 6,187 were made out of the 77,000. The car has aprox. 2600 miles on it since the
restoration was completed, mostly to shows and has never seen a day of bad weather. Restoration included a
completely rebuilt XH code ,370HP engine built to ram air specs with a performance cam that gives the car a
wonderful, sweet sounding rumble at idle, as well as aluminum roller rockers with # 13 heads. An original ram air
carb, and a Pextronics ignition distributor with date coded ignition wires. The power then goes to a 4- speed
Borg-Warner Super T10 transmission and ends at the 4 pinion posi 3.55 rear end. This car not only runs well, it
handles even better. It actually rides and handles better than some newer cars, with an unmatched power and sound
to go with it. The dual Flow Master exhaust sounds deep and throaty and looks just as good with original 1968 GTO
chrome exhaust tips. Its riding on BF Goodrich tires mounted on Crager SS rims. The front tires are 70 series with
an attention grabbing 60 series tire on the rear. Rear shocks are genuine GM after market air shocks to provide the
extra height and smooth ride. This car comes with all the attention getting details a show car deserves. Rear air
spoiler, show quality chrome trim, front air scoops with a working hood tach. Black leather bucket seats up front
with a show quality leather console in between. The car has been fitted with a Digital REV limiter and is mounted
in the glove box. A fuel warning light has also been added during restoration. Tilt wheel steering and an AM/FM CD
player round out the interior comfort features.
This car looks as good underneath as it does above. The under carriage and pan has been painted carousel red to
match and the frame has been painted a gloss black. The under carriage is also all factory tag coded and show ready
as the photos show. Its best described as a trailer queen both upper and lower. Too many items to list here, Glass,
trim, entire front end, bushings, control arms, weather stripping, and much,much more. This is undoubtedly one of
the cleanest and nicest cars you will come across.
Car is being sold as is with no implied or expressed warranty. Car is also being sold locally and we reserve the
right to terminate auction at any time due to sale.
I will do my best to answer any and all questions.
Thanks, and good luck.

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
