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!! |

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
