I AM LISTING THIS CAR FOR MY FRIENDS FATHER - THIS IS NOT MY CAR!
This is a (Numbers Matching) GTO, being sold to fulfill financial responsibilities. These "AUTHENTIC" non-clone cars finished bring top dollar! So bid early and bid with confidence! Please do not bid if you do not plan on fulfilling your financial commitment!
Wow...What a Rare Find! This is an (UN-RESTORED) 1968 GTO Convertible...242 Vin Car! The car is in need of a complete restoration. You can own this original numbers matching car! The original motor is currently disassembled, but in perfect "un-restored" condition. The motor is a 350 HP RA III 400 WT, 068 CAM block with 16 heads and is not damaged. It also comes with the original carburetor and exhaust manifold. The transmission is a typical m 21 four speed with its casting number matching the vin. The car has its original 355 Posi 10 bolt rear end with its 4 original rims, trimrings, centercaps and lug nuts. The frame is solid! The floor has been patched and should be redone with new available sections. The fenders, doors, hood and nose are very good. The hideaway system needs some attention. The quarter panels have been replaced. The rear trunk lid and bumper are fin for now, but should be replaced for a perfect restoration. The dash has no crack and the top and buckets have no rips. The back seats are missing. Please note...There is no build sheet with the car. The car is currently running and driving with a 4s 400 with 350 heads and an unconfirmed ob8 cam. The rebuilt motor has approx 45K miles and is supposedly 9 to 1 compression. The motor runs very good and the transmission has a brand new clutch and pressure plate. This car can be driven on pump gas, enjoy it and restore it as you find time and money. The pedigree of this car is intact, but it needs TLC and misc. parts which are readily available. I believe the car may need front brakes and possibly an alignment. The car has been stored off the road since 1987. Again...this is not restored, but when it is, you will have an amazing car!!! If your feedback is low or negative, please call me before bidding! I reserve the right to cancel your bid or to end the auction early since the car is also being advertised locally.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate the seller at (585) 285-9900
Thanks and Happy Bidding!

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.
Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky
Sat, Jun 26 2021The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic. The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice. For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids
Tue, May 29 2018Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
