Crossing the auction block is a frame-off restored 1967 GTO Convertible. This car has been in my family from day one! My brother bought this car in August of 1967 and gave it to me in the Spring of 1994. I did a frame-off restoration in 2006. New floor boards and trunk boards as well as a replacement frame highlight this total restoration. Since then, I put approximately 3,000 miles on the car. This GTO has all the documentation to show that is was born a GTO in Pontiac, Michigan in the Spring of 1967. I have all the manuals including the all important protect-o-plate . In addition, I have the original order form and invoice for the purchase of this car. On the order form the salesman wrote, $10 Deposit ! Those were the days....In addition to my documentation, I have the PHS docs that include a copy of the build sheet and window stickers. This car was delivered to Jo-Duke Pontiac in Arnold, PA. My brother took delivery of his GTO at Clark Pontiac in Wilkinsburg, PA (outside of Pittsburgh, PA) on August 5, 1967.

The original color of this GTO was Signet Gold with a factory gold interior. This combination is extremely rare as most of the Signet Gold GTO'S had a black interior. I kept the integrity of this car by painting it Signet Gold and installed a gold interior like the original. This GTO is a numbers matching car with a 400 cubic inch engine generating 335 horse power. The Hurst Four Speed shifter is original. The engine had a complete overhaul and runs very strong. The exhaust system is by Flowmaster.

I have four Redline Coker Radials mounted on Rally One Wheels. The Rally Ones and Redlines were an option in 1967 although my brother did not upgrade the wheels . He had the full slotted hubcaps on this car. I took the liberty to put the redlines and Rally Ones on.

After the restoration, This GTO was accepted into the AACA Muscle Car Display at the Hershey Automobile Museum in Hershey, PA.

I would be happy to answer any questions and provide specific photos upon request. There are no warranties with this car implied or otherwise. I would require a $1000 Dollar deposit within 48 hours of the close of this auction. This deposit should come through paypal. The final payment should be in the form of a bank wire directly to my bank. Upon the ok to release this car from my bank, I will be glad to help facilitate the delivery of this car to the new owner.

If you would like specific parts of the car re photographed please let me know and I will try to accommodate. Some of the gold pictures are too gold as they were taken under florescent lighting. The exterior pictures are the tru shade of gold. Feel free to ask any and all questions and I will do my best to answer them. I reserve the right to stop the auction at anytime as this car is being advertised locally. Thanks for your interest.

Junkyard Gem: 1968 Pontiac Catalina sedan

Wed, Aug 14 2019

During the late 1960s, General Motors ruled the American car landscape, growing so dominant that the federal government considered antitrust action to break up the company. The General offered sporty Corvettes and muscular GTOs and rugged pickups and opulent Fleetwoods, sure, but the fat part of the sales numbers came from the bread-and-butter full-sized sedans and coupes, which boasted superior engineering and modern-looking styling; in 1967 alone, the Chevrolet Division moved 972,600 full-sized cars, and that's not even counting the 155,100 full-sized Chevy station wagons that year. Pontiac, Buick and Oldsmobile sold the same big cars with division-specific engines and bodywork, and they flew off the showroom floors. For 1968, the entry-level full-sized car from Pontiac was the Catalina, and I've found an example of the most affordable version of the most affordable big Pontiac for 1968, discarded in a northeastern Colorado wrecking yard about 50 miles south of Cheyenne, Wyoming. A '68 GM full-sized coupe, convertible, or even a four-door hardtop might be worth the cost and effort of a restoration, but a no-options base-trim-level post sedan with rust and plenty of body filler just won't get many takers these days. Like so many vehicles that sit outside for decades on the High Plains, this one is full of rodent nests. I wouldn't want to work on the interior of this car without a respirator and a lot of work with a shop-vac, because hantavirus is a significant danger in these parts. Alfred Sloan's plan to offer a stepladder of prestige for GM buyers, in which your first new car was a Chevrolet and you moved up through Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Buick until you became sufficiently prosperous for Cadillac ownership, worked brilliantly for decades. In 1968, the Catalina was a notch above its Impala sibling on the Snob-O-Meter, with the sedan starting at $3,004 (about $22,600 in 2019 dollars). In fact, the V8-equipped 1968 Chevrolet Impala sedan listed at $3,033, and the Oldsmobile Delmont 88 went for $3,146, so the lines were beginning to blur between the relative positions of the lower-end GM divisions by this time. The base engine in the 1968 Catalina was a 400-cubic-inch (6.5 liter) V8 rated at 265 horsepower and enough torque to tow an aircraft carrier.

GM expands headlight recall to 180k Buicks and Pontiacs

Thu, Aug 20 2015

General Motors is issuing an expanded headlight module recall to include 180,504 examples in North America of the 2005 Buick LaCrosse (2008 model year pictured above) and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix. Specifically, the campaign affects 159,584 of them in the US and 20,920 in Canada. When the part fails, the vehicles' low beams can stop working either intermittently or permanently. "GM is unable to confirm any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition," the company said in a statement, and there's currently no permanent repair for the problem. For now, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new example of the same part. The automaker first announced this campaign in November 2014 when it affected 316,357 examples globally of the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse; 2006-2007 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT; 2006-2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL; 2006-2007 Buick Rainier; 2006-2008 Saab 9-7X; and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender.
