HERE IS A DROP DEAD GORGEOUS LOOKING 1968 PONTIAC GTO CONVERTIBLE NUMBERS MATCHING CAR. LOTS OF RECENT RESTORATION WORK DONE AND BEAUTIFUL COLOR COMBINATION!

Please e-mail me with questions or to set up an inspection to see the car in person. AUCTION MAY BE STOPPED AT ANY TIME.

Vehicle came out of New Hampshire. Previous owner got the car mechanically sound and drove it for the last few years. This is a FULLY MATCHING NUMBERS CAR with correct "YS" 400ci 4bbl. motor, correct transmission, correct rear end, correct and RARE Aegena Blue color (Code "E") with correct white convertible top (code "1) and correct parchment interior ("code 224"). When I got it last year I did a lot of work on it myself in my spare time. Restoration was to driver quality standards and was body-on and was done within the last few months, including complete paint/bodywork in base/clear 2 stage PPG type paint, NEW interior (seat covers, carpet, door panels, rear side panels, armrests, etc.), NEW exhaust/mufflers, NEWLY overhauled brake system, NEWLY flushed fuel system, NEW side mirror, and a few other smaller things here and there

Body is VERY STRAIGHT with excellent original gaps. Doors open and close nicely. Body does NOT appear to ever have been in any major collision.

OPTIONS:

Power steering

Power convertible top

Power antenna

In-dash clock

Manual drum brakes

Dual exhaust

MATCHING 400ci/350hp 4bbl. V8 motor

MATCHING Automatic transmission with factory His/Hers Hurst shifter

Bucket seat interior w/console

MATCHING 10 bolt rear end

Under the hood lies the MATCHING NUMBERS 400ci/350hp 4bbl. motor that is stock and has not been altered or hot-rodded. Stock intake, exhaust manifolds, carburetor, air cleaner setup and all from what I could tell. Overall it's a nice and healthy motor that fires right up, has good oil pressure and sounds great. Had it completely checked out by my mechanic and is ready to drive (I've been using it twice a month for short trips around town).  Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great along with the nice and throaty exhaust system. Transmission is solid and shifts great without any noises or grinding. 

Interior is basically all stock and NEARLY BRAND NEWDoor panels are NEW. Dash pad has some cracks. Seats have BRAND NEW covers on them as well as NEW seat backs and NEW side covers. Carpet is NEW as well. NEW rear end panels. Stock steering wheel in fair shape. Console is presentable with some wear by top armrest area. Convertible top is in good shape throughout with GLASS rear window, but has two small slits by rear driver's side. Overall nicely presentable for a high end driver.

Underside has a ROCK SOLID frame with NO rot or major rust anywhere. Floorboards are excellent with NO holes anywhere that I was able to see. VERY NICE trunk pan as well.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is in VERY GOOD shape throughout, with NICE shine and looks great but it is not absolutely show quality, so please keep in mind that it will have some very minor imperfections here and there. Panel fit is pretty good, but again not absolutely perfect to be a show winner and could use tiny adjustments here and there. Not working: wipers, clock, power antenna (not connected), hideaways (they have vacuum but do not work great, but I DO HAVE NEW VACUUM CANISTERS INCLUDED), and a bulb or two may need replacing here and there. Missing: wipers, spare/jack, radio, front valence lower trim pieces, maybe a few other smaller items. Rear driver's side window off track and needs adjustment. Window rubber should be replaced. Fan shroud should be replaced. Convertible top works and is all connected but needs hydraulic fluid as currently it needs help up or down. Small exhaust leak which you can hear in the video when car running. I am sure there are many other things the car needs.

So overall she is not perfect but she's a DAMN NICE and VERY CORRECT MATCHING NUMBERS CRUISER!. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all over 50 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GREAT LOOKING DRIVER to play around with, then this is the car for you. If you want a 100 point concourse show car, it will need some work to bring it up to that level of course. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
