On July 22, 1967 Jimmy Perkins, a US Army Sgt. from Fromberg, Montana took delivery of a Gulf Turquoise 1967 GTO HO Convertible from Mac Intyre Pontiac, in Billings Montana while he was on leave from the Vietnam Conflict .This car was Jimmys' dream car. He babied it and stored it under a cover while he was on deployement only putting a few thousand miles on it. In the summer of 1970, Jimmy Perkins was killed in combat by enemy fire earning himself a bronze star, posthumously. This car was parked front and center at Jimmys' funeral, the cabin being filled with flowers from a town that lost one of it's favorite sons.
The car then sat for another year and was traded in by Jimmys' mother on a 1972 Pontiac Station Wagon.
The car sat in the showroom of the Pontiac dealer for years, but the story of the town behind the car would not allow the owner to sell the car. In lieu of that, he kept the car. Driving it sparingly and keeping it in top shape. Unfortunately due to declining health and business, the Pontiac dealer closed about 7 or 8 years ago. The car still has the sign from the Pontiac dealership where it was stored for decades, in a climate controlled environment...in the trunk.
The car is now being offered for the first time to the public.
The car is as original as it can possibly be. All original inspection markings and stampings are all pretty much still there. The rear springs and shocks were replaced, belts, hoses, battery, brake parts, exhaust, tires and due to the car being stored in a showroom with the top down for decades, the convertible top was also replaced. The car has not a ding nor a dent, has to my knowledge never had any paint work and is absolutely perfectly rust free and dry. There is one tiny chip in the paint at the edge of the drivers side door. Every single accessory and light and gauge works as it should. The chrome and brightwork as as nice as NOS.
The interior looks like it was never used! The only defect I could ascertain is one crack in the rim of the steering wheel.
This car looks like it is brand new. The transmission was out once to verify the #'s on top of the trans and to replace the rear main seal and replace the clutch for good measure.
This car is not going to sell cheap. I refuse to give this car away. This car is the cream of the crop in unrestored, unmolested, shape.
Call me on my cell at 312 622 7533 as this car is for sale locally and auction can and will be ended at any time in the event of a local sale.
Clean and clear title in hand.
Car includes every bit of documentation you can imagine. Protecto Plate, old registrations, ect.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 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.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob 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.
