A perfect Holiday gift for a Father and Son restoration.

This car was listed on eBay 2-3 weeks ago. Frankly we did a marginal job describing the car and its attributes. We have since done some additional work and acquired additional parts. It is an original 1967 GTO (the most desirable GTO year) 242 ‘Z’ code California rust free car built in the GM’s Fremont, California Factory. It has a 400 cubic inch (6.5L) big block with a 4 barrel carburetor and a Turbo 400 transmission. As far as I can tell the car has been in Northern California Gilroy-San Jose area all its life. I bought it two years ago from the third owner who did a partial restoration. The car has had suspension work, new shocks, bushing’s etc. It has power front disc brakes, power steering, Hurst console His-n-Hers automatic transmission and rear anti sway bar. I’ve owned the car for two years. Driven it occasionally in the Napa Valley and Lake Tahoe Nevada area. It drives nicely, it will spin the tires and cruise down the highway effortlessly. It has clear Nevada title. It also has a fairly new convertible power top in very good condition. I have 13 classic cars. Too many. The car can be driven as is or you could finish restoring it. The original color is Montego Cream. It has been repainted. I think the paint is close to original but not exact. The car color isn’t as yellow as it appears in the pictures. I have a lot of the stainless trim pieces to include the wheel well trim and area around the convertible top well. Also have the canvas well for the convertible top. Also have a chrome radiator bracket. The car has dual Flowmaster mufflers and sounds great. The car isn’t perfect but with a little work and a few bucks it could be real nice. 1967 GTO’s are rock solid collectors, they will never go down in value. I also have a original reproduction window sticker. If you can’t afford the car please don’t waste your time or mine calling or emailing. The car can be seen at my warehouse in Fairfield Ca. I can be reached at 775-771-8889. George

This car can be a great and fun (but not fancy) driver or a drive and restore project. It’s not a perfect car by any means. If you put $10-15k into the car it would be a very nice car worth $50-60k. It will never go down in value. We are looking for serious bidders with serious questions. We have sold cars before on eBay with great success. You are bidding on a car from a private collection. If you have any questions let us know and we will be happy to answer them. Below are a few more bullet points about the car. Happy Bidding!

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob 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.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 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.
