1967 Pontiac Gto Phs Documented Automatic Califormia Car on 2040-cars

US $54,999.00
Year:1967 Mileage:91000
Location:

Hello.  This is my 1967 Pontiac GTO coupe built in Fremont, CA. I have owned it for about 10 years. The restoration was completed 3 years ago and there have been 6K miles driven on it since then.  Most everything was replaced, restored, repaired or left alone. It had been in a garage in Aptos California, and was not touched in years.  The floor pans are all original and rust free. The drivers door is not original, it is a used door from another GTO not reproduction.

The engine is a 'YS' code 335HP 400ci and transmission is the TH400 His/Her Hurst automatic as per the build sheet that is included with the PHS documentation. The engine is not the original, but it was taken from an identical 1967 GTO. It took several years to locate a correct engine.  The engine compartment has been correctly detailed (as much as possible excluding markings and paper tags) as per the GTO restoration guide, including correct belts, hoses, clamps, battery top and spark plug wires.The carburetor (7027262) and intake(9786286) are correctly coded, as well as the 670 heads.  It also has HO exhaust manifolds.

The paint is a killer Harley Davidson Chopper Blue Pearl(Original Color was Cameo White) with 5 coats of clear. To me, its the nicest looking GTO color I've seen. It was voted #5 by the Ultimate GTO picture site.  http://ultimategto.com/cgi-bin/ratemewinner.cgi?year=1967 . The grill inserts, trim and bright work are all original (except rear bumper) and have been polished, anodized or re-chromed.  The trunk is fully detailed with the original jack instructions and correct fuel vent tube. 

Most of the front suspension is stock, with the steering gears changed to a quicker ratio. The rear suspension has the original sway bar that is part of the factory HD package(as per the PHS docs) and I installed boxed rear control arms. Stock drum brakes with correct Delco booster.   The wheels are chromed American Racing TTOs; 15x7. Tires are BFG 235/60/15 and 255/60/15. New body bushings were installed while the body and frame were separated.

The restored black interior is mostly stock, with the exception of a Grant wood steering wheel and RetroSound audio.  I have the original restored wheel, radio and front speaker that will be included. There is a power amp and subwoofer along with 2 6x9 3-way speakers in the rear and a dash mounted dual speaker in front.  The audio system can easily be removed are returned to stock. It has a rare dealer installed console mounted vacuum gauge.  The clock is NOS and works. All gauges and lights function.

It has been in several Good Guys shows and local car shows, getting awarded every time.  The GTO drives better than new, and is ready for any long haul.  I have been driving it regularly since it was completed. It is not a 100 point trailer queen. Any questions please email me, and I would encourage you to see and drive this car in person as it is truly a wonderful ride.  Needs nothing, so there is no work you need to do except put gas in it and drive.

Now for the not fun part - no low ballers or scammers.  I'm not a 'motivated' seller and not in a hurry, so please no wishful thinking. I know what this car is worth as well as you.  The vehicle will not be released until all funds are cleared as per my bank.  I've been truthful and accurate in my descriptions so its up to you if you would like to come see it or have it inspected. Its a great car that you would be proud to own, drive and show for years to come.

Thanks and happy bidding!!!!!

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There 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.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
