1966 GTO PHS documented numbers matching tri-power convertible. Found in a garage where it
had been stored since 1989 & not driven since. Engine does not run has rod bearing knock but it does turn by hand.
Sold new at a local Regseter Pontiac Upper Darby, Pennsylvania dealership. 1st owner was a female, owned car till
the mid 1970s & took very good care of the car. Second owner drove the cars for years before the engine developed
a bearing knock. The engine was then removed to check damage. The car was put into storage in 1989 as future
project, life happen, retired & moved south.
Since my recent purchase I put engine back into car to show it is nearly complete. The engine needs rebuilt &
does not run. The 389-360 hp tri-power engine is the original born with & matching numbers, block stamped YR,
cast number 9778789 with B 7 6 date, or February 7th 1966, cylinder heads cast # 093 with matching date of B 1 6.
Data plate shows this GTO was manufactured on the 03 D or March 4th week of 1966. Very nice original GM chrome air
cleaners & valve covers. Even the original spring clamp battery cables survived. Original unrestored tri-power
shows difficult to find vacuum linkage with survivor gold coloring on the carburetors.
The title shows 136,000 but speedometer shows 103,000. Silver Platinum paint with black interior & top. One
repaint in the early 1980s. Overall a very solid car. This car has survivor qualities such as all original Delco
spiral shocks are intact, all its original T-3 headlamp bulbs. All original interior accept carpet. Seats, door
panels & dash pad show very nice original with no rips or tears. Trunk shows solid pan with original splatter
paint. Solid floors. Most of the chrome & trim is nice & bumpers look nearly new . Convertible top is still
serviceable.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Pontiac G6 GT Convertible
Sun, Jan 8 2023GM's Pontiac Division sold its first convertibles during the 1927 model year (just a year after the division's creation), then proceeded to offer memorable drop-tops for most of the following 83 years. The best-selling convertible to bear Pontiac badges during our current century was the retractable-hardtop-equipped G6, available from the G6's introduction in 2006 through the second-to-last model year of 2009 (the Sunfire convertible was available just through 2000, while the Firebird convertible vanished with the demise of the slow-selling Firebird itself after 2002). Here's one of those G6 GT convertibles, found in a Denver-region boneyard after a crash ended its driving career. Mashed right front, popped airbags. This sort of damage might have been worth repairing in 2009, but not today. The 2007 G6 was available as a coupe, sedan, or convertible. All the convertibles had the GT trim level and the 3.5-liter V6 and its 224 horsepower. The MSRP on this car was $28,750 (about $42,325 in 2022 dollars), making it the most expensive G6. The power hardtop roof folded up into the trunk, leaving 1.8 cubic feet of trunk storage space with the top down. This Karmann-designed roof system made the interior much quieter than that of a traditional soft-top convertible. All G6s were built at Orion Assembly in Michigan, where Chevy Bolts are born today. The G6 was built through the 2010 model year, making it one of the very last Pontiac models (the Vibe also made it to 2010, though it was really a Toyota Matrix). In hindsight, 2007 turned out to be an ominous year for GM.Â
BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium
Fri, Jun 12 2015Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am
Sun, Jun 28 2015The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.
