1965 lemans convertible project car .. I started this project as a frame off to build a black /red show car .I had the car and frame completely sand blased ,the frame is in excellent condition .. it has front disc brake conversion done , it has a 355 safe t trac rear with rear sway bar I revoved the body and had all metal work done ,including new rear quarters , all parts are there to put back together ,.. glass ,wiring ,dash ,gauges ,bumpers brackets, etc.basically the car is ready to go to body shop to sand and paint the color of your choice.... I have purchased many cars over the years. but when I disassembled them to build them ,I usually found many surprises ,and in several cases ,I chose to junk the cars instead of trying to put way too much money into a rusty project. if you restore cars ,you know what I mean , this woud make a fantastic resto rod or GTO clone ,or custom ,I have always felt that the 65 lemans /GTO was the best looking ones ever produced!! I have a 66 389 motor that needs a rebuild to put in ,I have a 200R overdrive automatic ,... I have quite a few GTO parts available should you wish to do a tribute convertible...I also have a complete 455 aluminum head roller motor ., new ,never run ,which I will offer to purchaser of car for less than I have in motor (not a part of this auction ,but offered separetely) I now have an expanding family and elderly parents I must dedicate my time to ,so I am reluctantly selling my project as I am realizing I will never have time to complete... I have over $16,000 in receipts for work done not counting what I did , the hard work is done .., I am basically looking to get what I paid for car to begin with ...any questions ,call 727 460 7505

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
