Selling my Father's dream car. You are looking at a full restoration 1969 Pontiac GTO Convertible. Restored in 1995 and driven 500 miles. Vehicle was then covered and stored for 10 years until my father purchased in 2005. The car has won many awards at car shows. This thing is a beauty!
This is the quintessential classic muscle car. It drives strong and runs great. Trust me, you will have a blast driving this! Unsure of mileage, but my father has only driven a few thousand miles since restoration. Being that the car is in Michigan, it was only driven on nice summer days. The motor is not original, but was rebuilt at same time as restoration. Everything was restored to factory stock. Crystal Turquoise (a must see in person...beautiful!) with white interior, and a black convertible top. Transmission is a 4-speed manual. Bench seats. The neat thing about the bench seats and transmission is that is how vehicle was delivered from factory. You see, most people opted for bucket seats with a manual transmission, and most that purchased within the last 40 years converted bench to bucket. This means you will probably never see a stock bench seat with 4-speed transmission. I have included the production numbers from Pontiac to show you just how rare this option is. Also attached is the window sticker, the invoice, and specs on 1969 Pontiac GTO's.
Vehicle is in great condition. The only thing it needs is a switch for the power top (it currently works off a toggle switch mounted under the dash below the non working power switch). I have seen new switches on Ebay for around $50. Also, the right rear roll up window is off the track. The same thing happened to the left window 3-4 years ago, and I had my local mechanic put back on for $70. Since my dad only drives it when it is nice outside, he keeps the windows down, along with the convertible top...if you know what I mean.
I really wish the car was staying in the family, but it is time for this to be a dream car for someone new. Is that you?
Good Luck Bidding!

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
