1965 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States
I purchased this car in DEC 2011 from a NASCAR mechanic who works for Joe Gibbs Racing... He purchased the car a few years before, and completed a frame-off concours restoration. The car only had 46,401 original miles on it before it was restored. Every part on this car has been restored, rebuilt or replaced with quality reproduction or NOS parts. - Restored to the original color of Palmetto Green Metalic with black Cordova vinyl top, and black bucket seat interior - Original Engine Block, Transmission and Rear End - 389 ci / 360 hp. - Tri-Power - Muncie 4 Speed and Console - Custom Sports Wood Steering Wheel - Rally Gauge cluster and Tachometer w/Padded Dash - California Only... Positive Crankcase Ventilation - Saf-T-Track Differential - Wheel discs -Custom, w/7.75 x 14 Red Line Tires - Wonder touch power steering and drum Brakes - Custom Retractable seat belts - Pontiac Historical Documentation - Window Sticker - Dealership Owner's Manual and original literature A former trailer queen, I now professionally store and maintain the car in a climate controlled museum like environment , only driving it (gently) on special occasions. The car was built the 4th week of June 1965 in Freemont, CA. The car was featured on the cover of the FEB 2013 GTOAA Magazine, and has won several car shows in the recent past: 1. GM Nationals Invitational, Carlisle, PA (2012) 2. POCA Convention (2011) Jr. Gold Award - 392 out of 400 points 3. Pontiacs in Pigeon Forge Tennessee (2011) Best of Show Stock Class 4. AMES Performance Pontiac Nationals, Norwalk, OH (2010) Best in Class - GTO
I've enjoyed the car, but I'm ready to sell so I can focus on other passions. This is truly the Holy Grail of GTOs and is museum quality. I have restoration receipts totaling 125K, but my reserve is not even close to that price considering I've been able to enjoy the car for the past few years. I am not writing much in the description section as the pictures are worth a thousand words. The car can be seen in Fredericksburg, VA and I am available to answer serious inquiries... dreamers please look and enjoy, but don't waste either of our time just wanting to "talk" about the car. I can arrange for professional shipping at the buyer's expense.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
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."
