From the deep purple base to the "jump off the hood " flames there is nothing subtle about this car. You are looking at a 1968 Pontiac GTO. This is not a replica of a GTO . This is not a completely stock unrestored original GTO either . This is a vintage car , that has been maintained to last , and has been slightly modified so that at any time it could be pressed into service. It is a drivers car . Hop in , sit down , turn key and gooooo! Look at the pics closely. This was a total repaint and body job done some years ago . The body was very clean to begin with that's the main reason it has held up so well . I took pics of all the issues that I could find as far as the body is concerned. On a close inspection I would say the body and undercarriage would rate a 90% , taking into consideration it's a 1968 . You will see a bit of corrosion starting on the inside lower edge of both doors. Just starting to bubble . Considering that the paint is almost 10 years old , that's awesome! Rest of the paint is holding up great , simply look at the pics and see for yourself . Frame and underbody is as nice as the top side. There is a bit of gravel burn and some light surface rust on the backside of the rockers ( where you would expect rust to start) . The undercarraiage has always been washed and never driven in the salt . Factory wheels correct for the year . Has a set of "purple" underbody lights , so folks will not miss you even at night . Interior is very clean and mostly stock with exception of gauge pack . Headliner is in nice shape. Couple of small rock chips in the front paint . Factory chrome bumpers and rocker trim and emblems are solid and shine like the sun . The engine has been "massaged" for a bit more power. Nothing major , but the basics have been "tweaked" . Mild street cam , Elderbrock manifold and ignition , holley carb , that sort of thing . Factory quick change rear end in 4:11 ( not sure ,but definetly low ) This was built to run . Sure you can get more power out of this setup but at what cost ? This is a reliable ride . You can park this in your garage and hook it up to a battery tender , come back in six months time unhook the tender , pump the gas 4-5 times and hit the switch , and she roars to life ! Numbers do not match engine/chassis. If that is important to you then order a new block and get it stamped with any # you want. Bushings ,shocks , rod ends , brakes , all tight . Maybe you can drive it home and visit rte 66 on the way , who knows ? The car is up to it , are you?

Junkyard Gem: 2002 Pontiac Aztek
Sat, Apr 17 2021The General's Pontiac Division sold the Aztek for the 2001 through 2005 model years, and — despite enjoying something of a cultural rebirth in recent years — it is generally considered to be one of the worst cars of all time. The idea of using a minivan platform as the basis for a rough-and-tough-looking crossover with plenty of outdoor-lifestyle amenities wasn't the problem, since many vehicle manufacturers have printed bales of money using that formula. What doomed the Aztek was its hideous appearance and sticker price too lofty for its underemployed-at-the-time Generation X target demographic. Still, the Aztek proved to be perfectly suited for the outdoor activities that Coloradans love: hiking, camping, fishing, skiing, hauling mud-caked golden retrievers around, etc., and so you'll still find lots of Azteks on the roads of the Centennial State. Here's an Aztek Yellow Aztek (yes, that's really the paint color's official title) residing just a few rows from a '76 Checker Taxicab in a Denver self-service yard. Sure, it does look like a vehicle built to the specifications of a six-year-old who decreed a mashup between a Datsun F-10 and a Fisher-Price Little People Travel Together Airplane, but so what? There's a built-in air compressor to blow up your inflatable rafts and volleyballs, a tent attachment that turns the rear of the van into a camper, 12-volt power plugs all over the vehicle (years before this became commonplace on ordinary minivans and SUVs), and running-gear commonality with a jillion Ventures, Silhouettes, Montanas and Trans Sports. Buick managed to de-uglify the Aztek (somewhat) and sold it as the Rendezvous through 2007, but the Aztek never could win over many people with this face. I see plenty of Azteks and Rendezvouses in Denver-area wrecking yards, and I've documented a handful over the years. This one came fully loaded from the factory, with the Corvette-style heads-up display in full effect. The center console was a removable cooler, which was a great idea Â… except for the fact that this cooler holds five standard 12-ounce cans. Michigan residents tell me that this must have been intentional on the part of the Detroit-based Aztek designers, because Michiganders are expected to chug one beer out of a sixer as they walk from the liquor store to the car in the parking lot Â… which makes me extra cautious whenever I'm driving in the Wolverine State.
GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs
Thu, Aug 20 2015General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium
Fri, Jun 12 2015Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.
