1969 Pontiac GTO Frame-Off Restored Car-Fantastic Color Combination This is a rare opportunity to own an authentic code 242 GTO. This goat came from Arkansas, and still has the clean and clear title from that state issued in 1989. I will try to list everything that was done to this striking Matador Red beauty. The super nice rust free frame was removed from the body to be media blasted, and then nicely finished in POR-15. The body was meticulously prepped, and the paint work was applied with three coats of Dupont Matador Red basecoat, followed by three coats of the very expensive PPG clearcoat. The body was then buffed at three different finishing levels to bring out the deep rich shine as evident by the pictures. A brand new black vinyl top was applied to the roof, and then a brand new tinted windshield was installed at that time. There is all new weather stripping, new window felts, new door gaskets, new pillar gaskets, and a new trunk gasket. There are new door locks, and a new trunk lock. The freshly detailed frame has a new set of body mount bushings. The other new items include new ball joints, new u-joints, new inner and outer tie-rod ends, new upper and lower control arm bushings, new rear control arm bushings, a new center link, new sway bar bushings and stabilizer links. There is a new set of shocks and springs to make this Pontiac sit up like when it rolled out of the factory in 1969. The fenders are both very solid and rust free with no filler. The doors are clean and still have the original seams at the bottom. The quarter panels are very nice originals with clean inner and outer wheel wells. There is a factory original dual scooped GTO hood, and a new air filter inside the correct factory original 1969 dual snorkel air cleaner with a new chrome lid. The endura nose is in very nice condition. All four stainless steel wheel opening moldings are original and were high speed polished. Both chrome rocker moldings are new with a new triple-plated chrome rear bumper. The body is dressed with all brand new GTO emblems. There is a brand new 4-core radiator for maximum cooling of this Big Block 400 cubic inch engine. The 4-barrel Quadrajet carburetor is completely rebuilt with numbers that match a 1970 GTO. It sits on top of the correct 1969 GTO high rise intake manifold. The correct GTO 7-blade fan clutch cools down this High Output Big Block Pontiac 400 from 1967 with large valve heads. This HO motor really fires right up and runs like a high performance wristwatch. The engine is hooked up to the correct 1969 GTO exhaust manifolds with new 2 1/4" dual exhaust pipes from front to back with Magnaflow mufflers, and the new correct chrome 1969 GTO exhaust tips. This engine Purrr's and Grrrr's then growls with a light step of the right foot like a real champion Gran Turismo Option goat should. This sweet GTO Big Block 400 has a new distributor cap, new plugs, new points, new condenser, new rotor, and new Taylor 10 MM wires for maximum spark. There has been a fresh oil change and oil filter to prepare this goat for the first 1500 miles driven by the new owner. There is a new heater core, new oil pump, new double roller timing chain, new coil, new voltage regulator, new starter, new fuel pump, new water pump, new alternator, new master cylinder, all new belts, all new hoses, all new transmission lines, all new pre-bent factory brake lines, all new fuel lines, all new gaskets, all new disc brake pads in the front, new brake shoes in the rear, all four new wheel cylinders, and all new braking hardware. This goat is fired up by a new Napa Legend 75 battery with new battery cables, and new positive and negative battery terminal ends. All of the reproduced original factory decals were placed in the proper areas to give this GTO the same appearance as the day it rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor 45 years ago in 1969. Since virtually everything is new, like new, or reconditioned, the speedometer has been set to all zero's, so the new owner will have the pleasure of knowing exactly how many miles they have driven from day one of their purchase. The transmission is the correct 1969 GTO Turbo Hydromatic 400 PX transmission that shifts like a goat should with a new shifter cable. This GTO was factory ordered with power steering, power front disc brakes, AM radio, bucket seats, and a console. I could not find a new front factory speaker in time for the auction, so the original AM radio is not hooked up. The choice of sound with be left up to the lucky winner of this awesome goat. The nice black interior has a new dash pad, and a new headliner with new black carpeting that has the extra sound deadener padding. There is a new set of four black carpeted floor mats to keep the new carpet like new. The original owner's manual is still in the glove compartment. There are a pair of brand new door sills, so as you step into this goat it virtually feels like you're at your local Pontiac dealer stepping into a brand new 1969 GTO. The entire interior is in relatively nice condition as seen in the pictures. The original floors are in very nice solid condition, and were nicely detailed with Satin black paint to make the undercarriage appear factory fresh. This goat has a 10-bolt positive traction 3.55 rear-end. It rides on a brand new pair of 215/70R15" Cooper Cobra raised white lettered steel belted radials on the front, and a pair of 275/60R15" Cooper Cobra's on the rear mounted on nicely detailed Pontiac Rally II wheels. There are a fresh new set of four correct black PMD center caps, and a brand new set of four beauty trim rings. The rally II wheels are bolted on with a new set of the correct 1969 GTO chrome lug nuts with the black inset. The inside sides of the trunk pan are original, but the center portion has been replaced with the correct center trunk panel. The trunk floor was then nicely detailed with black and aqua spatter spray to make it appear factory correct. An original jack and the original hard to find nubby crow bar sits on top of a new aftermarket replacement trunk floor mat. The trunk also carries a full size spare in case there is a mishap on the road you can be back driving in minutes with a quick tire change looking complete. An exorbitant amount of time, money, and effort went into the frame-off restoration of this sweet GTO. The intention was to bring it up to show quality status. Although I am classifying this car as a super nice daily driver, and not a museum piece trailer queen. What you see is exactly what you get!! The Nada Classic Car Price Guide that anyone can look up on line currently has the 1969 Pontiac GTO with rally wheels listed at $63,315 in high condition, which they consider an excellent overall vehicle that was completely restored, or an original vehicle showing very minimal wear. Note: This value does not represent a 100 point show car or a #1 vehicle. Those vehicles can reach much higher prices. $36,225 in average condition, which they consider in good overall condition that could be an older restoration or a well maintained original vehicle that is completely operable. The exterior paint, trim, and mechanics are presentable and serviceable inside and out. They say an average condition car is considered a 20-Footer! They have the lowest condition valued at $10,867 for a car needing pretty much everything. Numbers don't lie! I believe this Gran Turismo Omolgato is in much better condition than what Nada considers average. I also believe everywhere this goat is driven it will be a spectacle, and the pride of the neighborhood. This Pontiac is an investment that will continue to rise as these cars have proven to consistently escalate in value. This car is for the guy or girl that always wanted one back in high school, or maybe wants to show off at their high school reunion to prove how cool they still are. Isn't it time to treat yourself to the Wonderful World of the Widetrack of Pontiac?? I try to list everything I can think of when I write a description, so every potential bidder can make the most informed decision prior to placing their bid. If you feel I may have left anything out please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. This Classic GTO is being offered on a quick 3-day auction at "No Reserve" and will have a new home on Sunday evening at 5:00pm Pacific, 7:00pm Central, or 8:00pm Eastern time depending on your location. This just may be the dream car you've been searching for. Thank You for taking the time to view my auction!!! Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Congratulations, wishful thinker! You've been granted one wish by the automotive genie or wizard or leprechaun or whoever has been gifted with that magical ability. You get to pick one expired, retired or fired automotive brand and resurrect it from its heavenly peace! But which one? That's a tough decision and not one to be made lightly. As we know from car history, the landscape is littered with failed brands that just didn't have what it took to cut it in the dog-eat-dog world of vehicle design, engineering and marketing. So many to choose from! Because I am not a car historian, I'll leave it to a real expert to present a complete list of history's automotive misses from which you can choose, if you're a stickler about that sort of thing. And since I'm most familiar with post-World War II cars and brands, that's what I'm going to stick to (although Maxwell, Cord and some others could make strong arguments). So, with the parameters established, let's get started, shall we? Hudson: I admit, I really don't know a lot about Hudson, except that stock car drivers apparently did pretty well with them back in the day, and Paul Newman played one in the first Cars movie. But really, isn't that enough to warrant consideration? Frankly, I think the Paul Newman connection is reason enough. What other actor who drove race cars was cooler? James Dean? Steve McQueen? James Garner? Paul Walker? But, I digress. That's a story for another day. Plymouth: As the scion of a Dodge family (my grandfather had a Dodge truck, and my mom had not one, but two Dodge Darts – the rear-wheel-drive ones with slant sixes in them, not the other one they don't make any more), I tend to think of Plymouth as the "poor man's Dodge." But then you have to consider the many Hemi-powered muscle cars sold under the Plymouth brand, such as the Road Runner, the GTX, the Barracuda, and so on. Was there a more affordable muscle car than Plymouth? When you place it in the context of "affordable muscle," Plymouth makes a pretty strong argument for reanimation. Oldsmobile: When I was a teenager, all the cool kids had Oldsmobile Cutlasses, the downsized ones that came out in 1978. At one point, the Olds Cutlass was the hottest selling car in the land, if you can believe that. Then everybody started buying Honda Civics and Accords and Toyota Corollas and Camrys, and you know the rest. But going back farther, there's the 442 – perhaps Olds' finest hour when it came to muscle cars.

General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
