*  *  1968 Pontiac GTO  *  *

This is a project I bought about 10 years ago.  It was stored inside by the previous owner and has been inside since I've owned it.  I have come to the conclusion that with the other projects I have that I need to sell this one.

I will try to be clear on specifically what this listing includes.  Although this listing does not include everything needed to complete the project, for additional cost I have other parts available.  I have a couple of buildings with a lot of 60's Pontiac parts that I have accumulated over the years.  You can see some of the smaller parts in the background of some of the pictures.  The point is that depending on how you want to build this car, I probably have some parts that can help you out at a reasonable cost.  If you want pure muscle, I have a 421, 455, tri-power, ram air heads, etc.  If you want to go the restoration route, then I have a lot of original parts that can help with that as well.  Just keep in mind, this listing is specifically for the parts as described.

If possible, I encourage whoever buys this project to pick it up so we can work out something on extra parts, if interested.  If you can look at the car prior to bid closing, that is an option.  Please contact me if you have ANY questions or need additional pictures or details.  Also, mileage is what the odometer shows and I assume may not be correct.

   DRIVETRAIN:  Car currently has a 12 bolt rear-end (not original to car).  It has a code CCF1029B1 which according to on-line information is a 3.31 posi from a 1970 Chevelle.  It has a rear sway bar and boxed rear control arms.  It has disc brakes on the front which are also not original to the car according to the PHS documents.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.

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.
