Selling my 1968 GTO Convertible. It's a real GTO, not a clone and has the PHS documentation to prove it. This car is not a show car, but a great driver.
The good: Originally a 400 H.O., 4 speed car. The heads on it now are 455 heads, but I haven't checked the numbers on the block to see if it is truly is a 455, or just the heads bolted to a 400. It runs and drives great. In the last year the Muncy M21 was rebuilt and new centerforce clutch installed, a 4 wheel power disc brake kit with drilled and slotted rotors was installed with front to rear stainless brake lines, new front wiring harness, rebuilt dash cluster ( rally gauges) and clock, new dash knobs and bezels, front suspension rebuilt, new power steering pump, all belts and hoses new, new plugs and wires, rear axle was rebuilt and is from a '67 chevelle that's a 12 bolt posi, tires and shocks are new (rear shocks are air). The top was replaced at some point and is in nice shape but could have been installed better as it has some wrinkles here and there. I have a new cylinder for the top in the box (one leaks some) and also a weather stripping kit for the top in the box. The hood tach works good.
The bad: It has some bubbles in the trunk lid, a few on the hood, some rust on the dash, some scale on top of the windshield frame under the vinyl trim, and couple holes in the floor. The trunk is in excellent shape and the rear quarters have had half skins installed at some point (no bondo). The paint shines up nice but not perfect by any means. The interior is in decent shape for a driver. Seats are the original white and not torn. The door panels have been replaced and are like new but are the "parchment" color so not the correct white. The vinyl wood grain overlay has fallen off the glove box door. It is supposed to have a console but it is missing, as is the door armrests. It could use the rear suspension bushings replaced. The windshield has a couple chips in it. No radio installed.
So in short your bidding on a mechanically great shape car that you can drive wherever (I drove it 200mi round trip last weekend, 70 mph on I95 without a hiccup), leave the body as is so you can drive it without worry that some shmuck is going to open their door into yours and chip your $10k paint job but still look good enough that it gets compliments everywhere. OR you are buying a great start to a full restoration. I'm sure I've missed something so any questions just ask. Thanks and good luck bidding.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending 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.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say 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.
1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
