1969 Pontiac Gto Convertible on 2040-cars
South Pasadena, California, United States
|
For sale is my 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible. I am the documented third owner of this low mile GTO convertible and the car has spent its entire life in the dry climates of Arizona, Nevada and California. The prior owner I purchased the car from owned it since 1973. He worked in Saudi Arabia for most of his career and so the car was not driven often. The car was recommissioned by the former owner before I purchased it, but I have since had it completely serviced and driven it often. The body and paint is in nice presentable condition and I get a lot of thumbs ups, however, if I could keep it I would repaint it and repair the minor dings and dents. Right now it is a "10 footer" as they say meaning it looks great from that distance. It was repainted some 8 years ago in what looks like a less expensive single stage yellow. The car is originally Mayfair Maize (yellow) which is a more pale version of what is on the car. This color is the late model GTO yellow which is more like a Corvette yellow. The interior is original and 45 years old so its aged but I like it that way. It has a power top where the motor and top has been replaced. Roll up windows, right rear needs a little work or a new track. The engine is amazing and I would (and have) driven this car anywhere. Recently in the heat it went up to about 210 degrees and held in LA traffic. I had a local shop rework the engine and tune things up and the car starts on the first try and choke on the rebuilt original Quadrajet is perfect. It's a beast. As for what it needs- I would do the front bushings and suspension as my next project. (probably lower it too). (-: It has brand new tires and wheels on it (15x7 Pontiac mags). This is a really nice low mile driver that with just a few things could go back to all original or be upgraded/restomod to your customized cruiser. I am only selling this because I have some financial obligations to meet and am very hesitant given the amount of money I have put into this nice car. The buy it now is LESS than what I have paid for it and that does not include all the repairs and upgrades. This is a great low mile collector car, and a dry west coast rust free GTO. Good luck! |

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
