Up for auction is a 1972 Pontiac Lemans Endura GTO body code 72 23567 - 1972 (72) Pontiac (2) Lemans/GTO (35) 2-Door Convertible (67). This is a custom-built convertible with all the nicest options Pontiac had to offer in 1972 plus some modern ones as well. The motor is a 1972 Pontiac 455 cubic inch H/O RAM AIR motor with functioning RAM AIR. The car is outfitted with the optional side splitter exhaust (extremely rare for 1972), rear spoiler (actually a 1971 spoiler as the original 1972 “ducktail” spoiler just didn’t look tough enough, Rally II wheels, white interior, white convertible top, numerous NOS and/or original EVERYTHING (with the exception of the 10 – BOLT 3:55 posi-traction gears I had installed and Edelbrock carburetor). It has an NOS hood, numerous other interior and exterior NOS items, some only one of a kind in existence. The car took over three years to build and complete. Although it is a stunning example of a gorgeous restoration, it does need a handful of minor open items to be completed:
I finished 99% of the car and decided to store it for when I had the time to complete it. Since my life is so busy, I have decided to put the car up for sale and make the new owner aware of the items required for completion and price the car accordingly. The car has been in heated, climate-controlled storage since 2003 and has not been started in a number of years. THE BODY: The paint is spectacular Sikkens Lucerne Blue base coat, clear coat. This was a frame-on restoration with nearly every part replaced with original, NOS or restored items. I kept true to the original Pontiac colors with the exterior color scheme, interior and top. 1971 rear deck spoiler, front spoiler, NOS lights, exhaust splitters, re-chromed rear bumper, NOS door handles, restored and NOS stainless pieces, factory hood tachometer, all new or NOS glass except for the rear quarter glass panels. THE ENGINE & DRIVETRAIN Completely rebuilt 1972 Pontiac 455 cubic inch H/O motor YB Code with 7F6 455 H/O heads date code 1241. Functioning RAM AIR, power steering, power brakes, NOS air conditioning system, Edelbrock carburetor (original carb comes with the car), dual tachometers. Completely restored Rally II wheels with Firestone Firehawk 60 series tires (less than 100 miles). Stainless steel dual exhaust with NOS side splitters. New suspension parts throughout. THE INTERIOR Completely reupholstered front and rear seats, new convertible top (trim code 272), carpet. New dashboard, formula steering wheel, floor shift with console, in-dash tachometer, original dash radio plus glove box CD player. This is for all intent and purpose, a 1972 GTO Convertible “Fantasy Car” which I built to drive and enjoy for many years. Well, my life is not so where I can do that. The car literally has less than 100 miles on it since built. I did not want to take it out on the road until it was completely done. Well, it is nearly done with the exception of the items mentioned above. Call me crazy, but I wanted the car to be 100% done not 99% done before I went cruising. This is a dream 1972 GTO. If you could go back in time and custom-design the perfect 1972 GTO convertible (if they truly were produced besides the 1 that does exist), this would be it. Fast forward to the 21st century with modern tires, high performance paint, transmission, gears, etc. and this is what you would end up with. With nearly $130,000 invested, I am looking for a fraction of what I have into it. If you have restored a car before, you know that you can’t put a price on (or be reimbursed for) the number of hours you spend hunting and dealing with all the parts guys out there, exchanging part after part until you get the right one for YOUR car, this car is actually a bargain. I apologize for the pictures since the car could not be easily moved to take better pictures. |

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.
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.
2.1 million vehicles recalled again over faulty airbags
Sat, Jan 31 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Honda and Toyota will recall 2.1 million vehicles to fix faulty airbag modules "after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles." These vehicles had all previously been recalled, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that the airbags could still potentially malfunction. This recall will cover Acura MDX, Dodge Viper, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Honda Odyssey, Pontiac Vibe, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Matrix and Toyota Avalon models made in the early 2000s. NHTSA has reportedly received about 40 reports of airbag deployment in such vehicles, even though the vehicle had not been involved in a crash. Roughly one million of these same vehicles, all from Honda and Toyota, are also subject to recalls due to faulty Takata airbag modules, though this particular recall is for "an electronic component manufactured by TRW" that is separate from the actual airbags from Takata. According to NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind: "This is unfortunately a complicated issue for consumers, who may have to return to their dealer more than once. But this is an urgent safety issue, and all consumers with vehicles covered by the previous recalls should have that remedy installed. Even though it's a temporary solution until the new remedy is available, they and their families will be safer if they take the time to learn if their vehicle is covered and follow their manufacturers' instructions. A hassle is much better than a family tragedy." If you're the owner of an affected car, expect to hear more from the official automaker and government channels in short order. In the meantime, we'd suggest getting your car checked and fixed at your local dealer. The official statement and recall information can be found below. Previously Recalled Vehicle Remedies Not Working as Designed; NHTSA Announces Follow up Recall of 2.12 Million Cars and SUVs Saturday, January 31, 2015 Contact: Gordon Trowbridge, 202-366-9550, Public.Affairs@dot.gov WASHINGTON – U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced today the recall of more than 2.12 million Acura, Dodge, Jeep, Honda, Pontiac, and Toyota vehicles for a defect that may cause airbags to deploy inadvertently. The recalls will provide vehicle owners with a new remedy after the manufacturers' original attempts to fix the defects proved ineffective in some vehicles.
