1966 Pontiac GTO

Miles: 69,740 (1-4-2014)

VIN: 242176P240065

Its paint is an aftermarket metallic dark blue. Date and age of paint is unknown. I’ve had the car 6 years here in Northern NJ (3 miles from the Lincoln Tunnel). The car was built in Michigan for a lady in Michigan. This car has a lot of torque, lots of power and runs on 93 octane gas and burns no oil.

Engine is clean. Lots of new parts added to the car. It’s a basic and simple strong and reliable car. Manual steering and manual drum brakes, no leaks from steering or brakes.

The unconfirmed story is that this car was ordered for racing. PHS documented this as a rare built for a 1966. The car was ordered with no radio and no heat. It was ordered with a 389 tri-power Ram Air, Muncie M22, and 4.33 rear gears. It was a Turquoise blue color interior and exterior. Years pass and she had a radio and heat installed at the dealership. Then the car was put in a barn and years later painted, got some other motor, trans, and minor restoration by someone (unknown). The original engine and trans did not come with the car when I purchased it.

The interior is clean and black and in good condition. The front seats are comfortable and clean but seem to have 1967 seat covers. The rear seat, the cover is nice but it’s a cover over the seat and really could use some cushion underneath.

The headliner has 2 small holes (thumb size) in the front by the rear view mirror and the rear above the rear seat on the driver’s side but looks good outside of that. The dash has the standard rally cluster of warning lights and gauges, speedometer, and clock. Clock, tachometer, and oil pressure needs to be refurbished, it’s not working. An aftermarket electric temp, after market (mounted on the steering column) tachometer, and electrical oil pressure is installed and working. The radio is an aftermarket radio designed to fit the dash, dash is not cut up. The radio works really good and has a connector for an MP3 player or iPod. All lights work Gen, interior, glove, front, back, reverse, brakes, blinkers, trunk, and lights up when doors are open. The inside floor is covered with an insulation that is for noise and heat. The rug is in great shape and is black. It sits a little off by the shifter but only noticeable if you feel it.

The transmission is a heavy duty build from 5speeds in Florida and is about 4-5 years old. The trans leaks from 2 places, the shift linkage (o-rings) and the speedo cable connector. The trans has a fine threading and the cable has the stock coarse threading (I have a new cable, not installed). Speedo is connected and works. When cold, getting into first gear requires an extra push from neutral to 1^st. All other gears shift smoothly. I also put the car in gear (1^{st or}2^nd) before going into reverse, if not, the trans will make noise from the gears.

The body, the car is a 10 footer but as you get closer the paint is old that has nicks, small scratches, and marks. The lower rear back fenders has been patched above and behind the wheel well. There’s small chips as expected and areas where the paint does not look so good. I tried to take a picture but it does not show. This is not a perfect car. Rust: small hole by the door jam (see pic) on the passenger side, trunk floor has been replaced (trunk floor was fitted in over the current floor), corner of the hood, on the side (see pic), and a small hole under the gas pedal area (a plate seems to cover the hole).

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Detroit 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 Â– 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.

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.Â The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
