AM/FM Radio (Very Rare Option)

3.55 Posi Rear End

Numbers Matching Born With YS Engine and 062 Heads

Original TH-400 Transmission

 

The intake and carbs were a NOS 65 Tripower Setup (one of the few things not original to the car but still cool)

 

The car is a completely unrestored aside from one repaint in Starlight Black, and maintenance items.

Exhaust is a New Gardner Reproduction. Car fires right up and runs really well and is SUPER Strong!

 

Transmission Shifts crisp and the brakes stop well.

 

The interior is completely unrestored and looks fantastic! Virtually no wear on anything! Looks like it was never sat in!

 

Paint is older but still shows well! You know this car HAS to be straight to be black! Nicely detailed trunk! Quarters are original to the car best I can tell, nice fit and finish!

 

Paint is older but still looks great. There is a scratch that (may) be able to be rectified with a buffer on the passenger quarter panel and door.

 

The guy I bought it from owned the car since the mid 80's and the car was sold as part of a divorce settlement. I think the car has had 1000 miles put on it since 1985. The original owner was a international drug kingpin and the car was seized by the DEA in 1969, was the subject of 15 years of litigation and eventually sold for $8600 in 1985 by the Government with 35000 actual miles! I have all that paperwork! Cool Stuff actually. I have a clean and clear title for the car.

 

I have NO reason to believe the mileage as inaccurate, insofar as you can follow the mileage through the years of paperwork.

 

A super nice get in and go car.

 

Car is advertised locally and auction can and will be ended at anytime.

 

Call 312 622 7533 to discuss! I am not a dealer, I own a repair shop and collect cars.

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
