1966 Pontiac Gto 4 Speed Project Car on 2040-cars
Grand Haven, Michigan, United States
|
Up for bid is a 1966 all metal body GTO project car. I attempted to make this traditionally ill-handling car better by making it act like an IROC. MOTOR: When I bought it, the motor was missing so I put in a 1979 Chevy small block that I totally rebuilt. This motor has EVERYTHING you could want in a street motor and more. The block I found was a 400 Chevy (1979) and the original bore was clean, so I was able to stick new pistons in those holes. Consequently, the motor ends up being an original 400 - - NOT a 406 because it has not been bored. The motor has approximately 60 hours of porting and polishing to the heads, intake, and carbs. The heads are iron. It has a rare Offenhauser X tunnel ram. On this type of intake, the right 4 barrel works the left bank and the left 4 barrel works the right bank. Hot Rod magazine did a dyno power test on this type of intake on a 350 and it produced 495 hp. I have it on the 400 I described above, so the numbers should be a little bigger. The motor has only been run for 20 minutes - - so it is literally brand new. If you need more info on the motor, I can tell you much more, so email me or call me at the number listed below. TRANSMISSION and REAR END: The transmission is a Muncie 4 speed with good synchros and a brand new Mr. Gasket inline shifter. The rear end is 12 bolt posi built by DTS - - it is brand new - - literally, no miles on it. I have $4000 invested in the rear end alone. Richmond 4.10 gears, strain spool, Strange 35 splined axles, seat clip eliminators, and bearing girdle. Also has 4 link with extra 2 link ladder bar with adjustable spring mounts. This means you can lower the rear end to the ground to make the car handle better should you choose to do so. This rear end is necessary for this motor and tranny combo. It will be a head jerker! It is definitely bulletproof!! BODY: Full metal car. I have an extra hood. The 4 barrels fit under the original GTO hood, or you can put the other hood on and the air cleaners fit into the scoops. Body work has been completed. It is straight and looks good. INTERIOR: Original back seat and two new high back Car FX seats for the front. They tilt forward and back and they have high head rests (for that head-jerking that I mentioned). The plan for this interior was lightweight - - I was going to make my own door panels. No carpet, but original carpet would fit in it. HISTORY: I bought this car about 15 years ago as a project car and have worked on it slowly over the years. SHIPPING AND PAYMENT: $500 deposit via PayPal required at auction end. Cash or official bank check required for remaining balance. Buyer is responsible for shipping/transport. Overall, I have $15,000 invested. I am starting the auction at half of that amount, so this is really a steal. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me, or you can call me at 616-842-4026. Ask for Cliff. Good luck bidding!! |

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
