i bought a 08 supercharged z06 i was working on, it still needed a couple thousand put in it but it did run and drive. then this car came along. i had offers on the roller for enough to buy a nice pontiac. for some reason this one kept on eating at me. surprisling ive not missed that z06 a minute and come home and open the shop up to check this thing out daily. the green interior is a bit much but oh well

A Pontiac is better than ANY Cheby!

I like it!
Funny how the colors I used to dread as a teen seem nostalgic to me now, like green and even burnt orange metallic.

it is weird how the green has grown on me over the years, starting with obs chevy truck i had years back. i actually like this color on this car...on the outside...the inside makes think about crawling around my grandmas green shag carpet as a little tyke haha

Isn't that actually a dark turquoise or teal?

I recall a couple LeMans and Tempest cars around the neighborhood of my youth being this color combo. While I generally despise most automotive greens, these turquoise/teal colors always appealed to me.

Car looks good. Enjoy!

Interesting having the sport mirror on the door.

Any pix of said green interior?

Talk about color, not Pontiac related, way back I bought a daily driver for my long commute. It was an original '67 Dodge Dart from an elderly couple, for $200, in 1991. It had 65K original miles.
It was olive green, with olive green interior, and an olive green vinyl top. Hideous. I couldn't pass up the price. Drove it to 100K miles. sold it to a dad and youngster for 1K. Had several buyers competing.

Current GTO was originally gulf turquoise, matching interior. Previous owner had the exterior painted a '67 blue. pulled the interior and replaced it with my old Lemans parchment, and sold off the buckets, still have the rear seats and door panels if anyone wants them. I haven't decided on the final exterior color, but interior will be parchment.

Congrats! That's a beautiful car and I bet you are glad you listened to it whispering.

We need pics of the green interior.

Somebody wearing my clothes likes green interiors.

And the engine you listed is a gift. Like a good campground, those never show up within a 4-hr drive from me... is tempting.

Very nice!

That car will turn more heads for sure

i was buying all of them up a couple years, in fact i sold the exact bare block to the machine shop few years ago..its almost like it came back...with all its parts found lol. i considered bolting a 66 tri power to this one and running it awhile. it has all the ac stuff on firewall and compressor is in the trunk with a set of rally 2 wheels

Cool car.

What color was the Z? I don't think I could ever give up a C6Z in a trade

[ID67goat]

Looks nice! What are your plans for it?

the z was velocity yellow, it was a beast, cam, t trim sc, arh headers n x pipe, borla atak. even with the charge tube disconnected it did 50mph burnouts with ease.

alot of stuff is discontinued on those cars. electrical parts etc. melling quit making the ls7 dry sump oil pumps so used ones average 3 to 500 bucks, the aftermarket is 1500-2k . this car had none of those issues and i wanted rid of it while it didnt.

my c5 has some tough to find parts as well but atleast the ls6 can be fixed or rebuilt pretty easy. the la7 though tough to beat, it aint cheap to repair.

i wanna keep it a cool ol street car. it has a rebuilt th400 in it so i wanna use that for awhile. i do plan to put in a 9" 3.5 geared posi in it and at some point put a 4l80 in. it will stay a lemans, but it may get the gto hood and gto grill minus the emblem

[performerrpm]

carpets dirty but no rips anywhere in seats
