2 Door 1966 Pontiac Gto - Phs Certified - Black on 2040-cars
Los Alamitos, California, United States
1966 Pontiac GTO
4 Speed Carburetor 4 speed Muncie transmission with Hurst shifter PHS Historic Services has proven that the VIN is in fact a true GTO and I have the paperwork to prove it. The Good - Starts right up and sounds amazing. Engine runs great. Interior is clean with minor issues. Body is straight. Was told from previous owner that the engine was "bored and stroked" and thus this car is very strong. It can "peel out" when shifting from neutral but driven gently it will not. New chrome bumpers New Retro 5 Spoke Wheels New Cooper Trend Setter Tires - Mounted and Balanced New fan put in New headlight bezels Updated larger exhaust - The car sounds strong. New battery Updated radiator Rebuilt and updated steering column New steering wheel - Wood New shifter knob Wires cleaned up in the engine bay Fluids topped off New floor chrome step plates when entering from door New hood scoop Newish / Updated Interior black headliner and seats Newer / Updated Fuel tank Newer / Updated 3" Exhaust New parts in the trunk (Not installed but purchased) - Interior door and window handles / cranks Essex Carpet Sound deadener Arm rests Interior door panels Performance Dual radiator fans - used for a little bit but we put on a new original piece. Choice is up to you. *I may return those parts not installed for money if the new owner doesn't plan on using them - As I need the money.* Work needed - Body is straight but has one dent in the back left corner the size of a golf ball Sanding and a nice paint job needed - it is primer black now. Was red before it was black. Light rust in a couple spots that need sanding and a couple spots of bubbles on the roof that need sanding Could use new brakes but we do drive it every now and then just fine (the car is heavy and fast) The color of the car is black primer with two white racing stripes - looks mean and good to me but whoever buys will probably want it painted. Needs gauge work done. Currently using aftermarket gauges and theirs no working speedometer. Mileage reads as 14,9xx. I got two quotes for a full body and paint job - One was $8,000 and the other was $9,000 (In the CA market, not sure if it's higher here) - If that gives you any idea of the shape of the car (I don't have the money to do it). I also included more pictures of the wheel wells and trunk. Two of the wheel wells have a little bit of rust and a lot of dirt caked on. The front two wheel wells are really clean, zero rust. The trunk shows the red the car used to be which is also starting to show through on the roof of the car. The pictures and video will show the car's shape and that it fires right up. In the video I step on the gas for a brief second before exiting. The quality of the sound on my phone video does no justice to the car. Here is the video of me starting the car, revving the engine once and a close up of the engine:
I will be listing the car locally as well and reserve the right to take down the listing at any moment if I am offered a decent amount from someone local. Have to sell due to the loss of a job. Would have loved to see it get finished but that's life. Hope it goes to someone who will love it. |

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
