1968 Pontiac Gto Base 6.6l on 2040-cars
Sutton, Vermont, United States
|
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?

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
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.
