1964 Pontiac Gto Convertible Original A/c Car Phs Certified on 2040-cars
Gloucester, Massachusetts, United States
1964 Pontiac GTO Convertible with Factory A/C, certified as a genuine vehicle by the Pontiac Historic Society. Very rare trim level as most convertibles did not have A/C fitted from the factory. This vehicle needs complete restoration, but you are starting with a desirable trim and model. The car is an original vehicle and does not appear to have ever been restored before, and it even has its original Pontiac radio! As you know, this is the original muscle car that launched an era. A true muscle car is a medium bodied vehicle fitted with a large body engine. I have an LS 1 from a
2004 GTO (purchased in the crate in 2007!), complete with accessories and 6-speed
transmission (low miles). If you
hit the buy it now button, you will get that too. If not, I will offer it to the successful winner at $5,000. I intended to build myself the ultimate
restomod, as there is a company that will sell a wiring loom to fit between a
1964 body and the 2004 GTO engine (In the crate, not pictured), so that you can use the new A/C compressor
and all your original gauges with the newer 400 hp engine, plug and play. Regarded as the first true muscle car, the Pontiac GTO is the most
famous muscle car in high-performance automobile history. Prior to 1964,
performance cars were full-size hardtops and sedans with the largest
displacement engines available. These full size cars were a little slow off the
line, but really performed once they got rolling. Hot Rodders had known for
years that you could go even faster if you put those big engines in smaller, lighter
cars. The Pontiac GTO was General Motors attempt at the factory Hot Rod. Initial promotion of the GTO option was somewhat low key. The GTO
wasn't mentioned in the 1964 Pontiac full-line catalog. A GTO brochure didn't
show up until after the first of the year and by then the car was already a
success. Very favorable media coverage (especially the famous Car and Driver
March 1964 Pontiac versus Ferrari GTO duel) and great word-of-mouth advertising
sold a lot of cars. Free advertising came about when a Top 40
song was written about the GTO. John Wilkin penned the song "GTO" and
a group of Nashville session musicians recorded it under the name "Ronny
and the Daytonas." Over a million singles and 500,000 albums were sold.
"Three deuces and a four-speed and a 389," played repeatedly to the
GTO's key customer group. Initial sales projections called for only 5,000 units; however,
the GTO was an immense hit with the public as well. The 1964 model run produced
a total of 32,450 units. I now have twins and no time for fun projects. My loss is your gain. You may also choose to buy an original 389 engine for this vehicle, as there is no such thing as numbers matching on GM vehicles prior to 1967. Sold as is where is with no express or implied warranty of fitness for any particular purpose. |

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
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."
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.
