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 repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
Rent the 1967 Pontiac GTO from the XxX films now on Turo
Tue, Jan 10 2017The process of renting a car usually ranges from mildly annoying to "I'm calling corporate to get you fired." Plainly, it sucks, but sometimes you're left with no alternative. Turo, a peer-to-peer carsharing network, has created what's essentially the AirBnB for cars. Like AirBnB, the quality and variety of the rides varies based on location. If you're in Tucson, Ariz., in the next week, go check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible before the release of XxX: The Return of Xander Cage. Promotions and marketing aside, this is still the opportunity to drive one of the original muscle cars. It's not clear if this is an original GTO or a Pontiac Tempest that was converted, but does it really matter? Old cars never drive as well as you hope, so, as long as it looks and sounds awesome, who cares? The owner listed on Turo is Xander C., Vin Diesel's character from the XxX franchise. This is the car that was used in the original 2002 film, and from the photos it appears to be in better shape than many other movie cars. The exterior is mostly stock, with some slight modifications to the lighting, wheels, exhaust, and trim, with the addition of a funky looking hood scoop that the listing claims shoots flames. It's not clear if it functions as an actual intake because there aren't any notes about what rests under the hood. The listing does ask for premium fuel, so more than likely it's some variation of a high-compression V8. Inside, the dashboard looks like someone raided the AutoZone accessory aisle. There are gauges, dials, toggle switches, and readouts galore. The listing also claims the Goat is packing a rocket launcher and a weapons stash under the seat. $999 per day isn't cheap, but it's less than you'd pay for a day with one of the rent-an-exotic shops you see in Los Angeles or New York. If you're not in Tucson or the price is a little too steep, Turo has what it's dubbed the Adrenaline Collection. The name may be hyperbole, but the lineup of cars is actually really solid. A quick glance reveals a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider, and a 1969 Jaguar E-Type. The car list keeps expanding, so if this proves popular, look for more cool stuff in the future.
