1969 Pontiac Gto Convertible on 2040-cars
South Pasadena, California, United States
|
For sale is my 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible. I am the documented third owner of this low mile GTO convertible and the car has spent its entire life in the dry climates of Arizona, Nevada and California. The prior owner I purchased the car from owned it since 1973. He worked in Saudi Arabia for most of his career and so the car was not driven often. The car was recommissioned by the former owner before I purchased it, but I have since had it completely serviced and driven it often. The body and paint is in nice presentable condition and I get a lot of thumbs ups, however, if I could keep it I would repaint it and repair the minor dings and dents. Right now it is a "10 footer" as they say meaning it looks great from that distance. It was repainted some 8 years ago in what looks like a less expensive single stage yellow. The car is originally Mayfair Maize (yellow) which is a more pale version of what is on the car. This color is the late model GTO yellow which is more like a Corvette yellow. The interior is original and 45 years old so its aged but I like it that way. It has a power top where the motor and top has been replaced. Roll up windows, right rear needs a little work or a new track. The engine is amazing and I would (and have) driven this car anywhere. Recently in the heat it went up to about 210 degrees and held in LA traffic. I had a local shop rework the engine and tune things up and the car starts on the first try and choke on the rebuilt original Quadrajet is perfect. It's a beast. As for what it needs- I would do the front bushings and suspension as my next project. (probably lower it too). (-: It has brand new tires and wheels on it (15x7 Pontiac mags). This is a really nice low mile driver that with just a few things could go back to all original or be upgraded/restomod to your customized cruiser. I am only selling this because I have some financial obligations to meet and am very hesitant given the amount of money I have put into this nice car. The buy it now is LESS than what I have paid for it and that does not include all the repairs and upgrades. This is a great low mile collector car, and a dry west coast rust free GTO. Good luck! |

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 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.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
