1965 Pontiac Le Mans Gto on 2040-cars
New Hudson, Michigan, United States
|
Up For auction is a BEAUTIFUL 1965 Pontiac Le Mans 2 door hardtop coupe GTO tribute car. I don't know where to start with this one. This car is 100% rust free and has original steel throughout! The body is painted in a very sharp deep metallic blue paired with the original interior! The seats have been taken car of very well and were recently dyed. The door panels are new as well as the head liner. The body on this amazing gto recreation is laser straight and free from defects. All the chrome and bright work looks great (especially around those beautiful stacked head lights). The body lines all match up perfectly, and the gaps are nice and even throughout the car. This vehicle was originally sold in North Carolina, and it remained in the south for the vast majority of its life where is pampered to the extreme. Beautiful new set of tires and wheels to compliment the look of the vehicle. The motor is a VERY healthy Pontiac 455 bored .030 over with a mild cam backed by a freshly built turbo 400 auto and 3.73 gear in the rear. Don't be fooled by its size or the quiet rumble from the brand new dual exhaust, this car is quick! All the glass is in perfect condition, all lights, wipers, signals, horn, and other electronics and mechanical items function as should. There are only about 2000 miles on this car since its body off complete restoration. The beauty doesn't stop with the body or interior, the engine bay and trunk are in as good of shape as a brand new car!!! If that's not enough for you, the quality continues to the under body. Its SPOTLESS, you could flip her around and eat off the under side of this car. This is a great example of what a true restoration looks like. No corners cut. Even has the spare tire and jack in the trunk! This vehicle comes with its original window sticker, bill of sale, protect o plate, original 1965 protection plan book, original registration.... it is a complete package for any automotive enthusiast. Driveability? Its amazing! With power disc brakes up front, fresh drums in the rear, and power steering...This is the perfect ride to take the family on a cruise in, trip to the local show, grocery store on sunday, or town dairy queen...Sure to turn heads every time you pull it out. This car NEEDS NOTHING. Just a good home and great owner to enjoy and continue to pamper. If your in the market for a GTO or Le Mans, this is truly a great car to consider. Keep in mind while bidding, although this may be a GTO tribute, it sure plays the part of a true GTO, has all the looks and styling but wont cost you the $50,000+ that a gto in this condition would command.

Gordon Murray, F1-driven production and .. the Pontiac Fiero
Tue, Oct 31 2017Gordon Murray's design and engineering chops are unquestionable. But does his carmaking approach owe something to the short-lived Pontiac Fiero, a scrappy little car program that emerged from GM against serious resistance? Murray had a Formula One career that ran from 1969 to 1991, with stints at Brabham ('69 to '86) and McLaren ('87-'91), that resulted in several shelves' worth of trophies for the cars he was instrumental in designing. He moved on to McLaren Cars, the consumer side of things, where, during his tenure from 1991 to 2004, he helped design the McLaren F1 and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, two cars that took learnings from his two decades in Formula One. What do all of these cars have in common? Three things: They are light. They were built in limited numbers. And they were (and are) exceedingly expensive—when the McLaren F1 debuted in 1994, it stickered at $815,000. Murray went on to establish Gordon Murray Design in 2007. GMD has created some interesting concept vehicles, such as the diminutive T.25 city car (94.5 inches long, 51.1 inches wide and 55.1 inches high), and the OX, a lightweight truck for the developing world that packs like an IKEA shelf and is working toward realization through a worthy crowdfunding campaign established by the Global Vehicle Trust. Now he has created a vehicle manufacturing company, Gordon Murray Automotive, that will use manufacturing methods that he developed under the moniker "iStream." Unlike a unibody, there are the "iFrame," a cage-like construction made with metallic components, and the "iPanels," which are composite. The panels aren't simply a decorative skin; they actually provide structure to the vehicle. Presumably this has something of the F1 monocoque about it. Going back to the three elements, (1) this arrangement results in a vehicle that can be comparatively light; (2) Murray has indicated that his manufacturing company will be doing limited-run production; and (3) to launch Gordon Murray Automotive they are going to be building a flagship model, about which Murray said, "With our first new car, we will demonstrate a return to the design and engineering principles that have made the McLaren F1 such an icon." Which seems to imply that it will be on the pricey side. According to the company's verbiage, "iStream forges an entirely new production method that defies conventionality with its Formula One-derived construction and materials technologies." It also sounds a whole lot like ...

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac 6000 STE AWD
Sun, Aug 1 2021During the middle to late 1980s, General Motors made a big push to grab back some of the sales swiped by makers of European luxury machinery during the previous decade. Around the top of the prestige pyramid, there was the Turin/Hamtramck-built Cadillac Allante taking aim at the Mercedes-Benz 560SEC and the super high-tech Buick Reatta trying to seduce away BMW and Jaguar shoppers; even the Riviera offered a futuristic touchscreen computer sorely lacking in anything out of Stuttgart or Bavaria. The General had a plan to take on the smaller German sporty sedans, too, and Pontiac of the "We Build Excitement" era offered a midsize sedan packed with modern hardware at a great price: the 6000 STE. Here's one of the rarest 6000 STEs of them all, an all-wheel-drive-equipped '89 found in a Denver-area yard last week. Any 6000 STE is extremely hard to find today; when I wrote about a front-wheel-drive 1987 6000 STE back in 2018, desperate owners of these cars filled my inbox with requests — sometimes demands — for parts that continue to this day. Many of them pleaded with me to help them find an all-wheel-drive version, and now I have managed to find one at Colorado Auto & Parts in Englewood, just south of Denver (in fact, the same yard at which I shot the '87). You may recall CAP as the old-school yard whose owners built the amazing airplane-engined 1939 Plymouth pickup a few years back. The all-wheel-drive system on the 6000 STE was introduced for the 1988 model year, and it became standard equipment on the 1989 STE. At this time, the automotive industry had taken note of the success of the idiot-proof all-wheel-drive systems offered by AMC and Audi/Volkswagen; Toyota began selling Americans all-wheel-drive Camrys, Celicas, and Corollas, while Ford offered the Tempo and Topaz with optional AWD and Subaru was just beginning to make the switch from manually-selected four-wheel-drive to genuine all-wheel-drive around that time (it took a few more years for everyone to standardize on the 4WD/AWD terminology we use today, though). The 6000 STE AWD was intended to compete with such all-wheel-drive-equipped sedans as the Audi 80 ($23,610), Audi 90 ($28,840), and BMW 325iX ($30,750); its $22,599 price tag (about $50,700 in 2021 dollars) certainly made it seem like a bargain compared to those cars. In addition to the all-wheel-drive system, 1989 6000 STE owners got a digital instrument panel and more switches and buttons than the Space Shuttle.
