Pontiac Gto 2 Door Post on 2040-cars
Mcminnville, Tennessee, United States
1966 Pontiac GTO 2 door post! Less than 50,000 original miles!
Drivetrain Numbers Matching 389 Tri-Power (Tri-power is not original to the car) with numbers matching 2 speed Powerglide transmission. The motor is healthy and runs excellent and the car shifts great. She fires right up. Dual exhaust sounds good but is not at all obnoxious. This car cruises down the road very nicely.
Exterior The exterior of this car is truly stunning. The paint is not the original color. Its a 70s GM color called Phantom Blue Metallic and it is beautiful. The car was taken apart and painted and put back together in the correct way. The fitments of all panels are perfect and there is no rust that I saw. All the glass is in great shape. The original bumpers were re-chromed and all the door and window trim is in excellent condition. There is also a functional hood tach that was added as this was not an option for that year.
Underneath The underneath of this car is amazing. I saw no rust anywhere. The underneath was painted black and still looks super clean. This is the most solid, original car that I have even been under. The trunk is spotless as well. I took many photos to try to show how nice it is.
Interior The interior is no different than the rest of the car. It was all redone and still looks brand new. The seats were recovered in a black cloth as opposed to the original vinyl. The rest of the interior retains the stock features with the exception of the aftermarket steering wheel, the CD Player with speakers and the three gauge pod under the dash. This is a factory AC car (although the AC is not currently working). The dash, carpet, seats, door panels, headliner etc. all look perfect to me and show little to no signs of wear. In my opinion, the original center console is the only part of the interior that shows its age. See pic. All lights, wipers, and heat work as they should.
Chassis/Suspension- The suspension parts all still look new as well and were all replaced. There are rear air shocks that can be adjusted. Power steering and power disc brakes up front make it very easy to drive. The car really does cruise down the road nicely for an almost 50 year old car!

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
