1969 Pontiac Gto Convertible on 2040-cars
Winter Haven, Florida, United States
|
Condition is excellent, no dings or dents, first class restoration.
Vehicle is a reborn 1969 Pontiac GTO 2 Door Convertible, Warwick Blue, White
Top, Dark Blue Interior, Bucket Seats. History: We have owned this car since 1986. It was built in
Baltimore, purchased at Coggins Pontiac in Jacksonville, and has been in Florida all it’s life. It
is a numbers matching car except for the engine and rear end. Both are available for purchase if you want to make it a numbers matching car again.
We opted for the higher horsepower 428 Ram Air engine with a functioning Ram Air induction system, and a much stronger rear end.
Features: AM/FM radio, A/C, PS, PB, PT, CC, Rally gauge cluster, hidden headlamps, remote outside rear view mirror, passenger side rear view mirror, deck lid release package, 15" Rally II wheels, custom sports steering wheel, ride & handling package, floor console, glove box & trunk lighting. The original Turbo Hydramatic 400 was completely rebuilt with all the popular modifications for performance and durability. The ten bolt 1972 Buick rear axle assembly is the newer 8.5 inch ring gear model with improved bearings. It is the Safe-T-Track limited slip differential 2.56:1 which helps gas mileage. Local professional Ron Pence of R&R Performance Auto Specialties in Lakeland completed the frame off rotisserie restoration, including every nut and bolt and front
glass replacement. Ron used rust free Arizona front
fenders and reproduction rear quarters to replace the salt water ruined parts thanks to years of running up and down our beautiful beaches. Also used were our accumulated NOS and some reproduction parts, Allison breaker less C/D ignition
system, Ram Air III cast iron exhaust manifolds, dual exhaust system with crossover
pipe. Added was the Royal Bobcat upgrades starting with a 1969 428 engine, decals, trim, and special paint scheme, plus seven blade fan, desert cooler radiator, dash tachometer,
Stewart-Warner triple gauge pod, front disc brakes, boxed rear control arms,
rear sway bar, larger front sway bar, stiffer springs, rear deck airfoil. Stephen’s Engine Builders built the 428 engine by boring .030 making it 455 ci, using hypereutectic pistons, Ram Air III
cast iron exhaust manifolds, Melling Ram Air III camshaft, 1.5 rocker arms, and high volume oil pump. They also added the Holley Dual ProJection 1340 cfm TBI fuel injection system
on an Offenhauser aluminum dual quad intake manifold. It runs on 92 octane fuel. The original speedometer was showing 32,233 before restoration, and the new one shows 7,799 meaning about 140,032 miles.
The original 400 ci engine, and non posi 3.23:1 rear axle, and top boot may be available. Take a close look at all the photos, this GTO has been assembled better than any ever were off the factory line. Painstaking measures were taken to make every gap between sheet metal and all exterior parts absolutely prefect. Pay special attention to the front end and rear bumper on this car compared to other GTO's, and you WILL see the difference. You won't find another GTO with such perfect gaps around the entire vehicle. Check the hide away headlights that open and close properly, plus stay open like they are supposed to do.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

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.
