Straight from the barn she lives again!  True 66 GTO never been repainted with 68' 400 Pontiac Engine and Ram Air III #48 Heads Plus Tri-Power and 4 speed Muncie.  Ram Air 3 cam and headers. Has 355 fully POSI traction and posi traction tag still bolted to the inspection plate.   10 bolt rear end.  Power steering and drum brakes.  Car runs great and shifts good.  Stops good.  Last owner has had it since like 85 and has kept it drivable all these years.  The original VIN tag is gone and was legally re-vined in Indiana.  The guy I bought her from says it never had a tag since he had it but he had the correct vin# on the correct title that DMV let him keep after the re-vin.  I have the PHS docs that show it came in Bronze with Black Bucket Seat interior.  This car has original paint and interior.  Yes, it's never been repainted.  So, you can tell the paint code is correct.  This is a true GTO but not numbers matching and the re-vin means the title reads rebuilt.  Now, some guys might take this car and pull the new VIN off and go to one of those title place and get a new title with the old title and have a new VIN made but others won't mind the way it is and will be happy with it the way it is.      

About the GTO body:  Solid floors.  Solid frame.  Never wrecked.  Doors are good.  The quarters had a lower quarter clip put on see pictures and really a great job was done and has been set and ready for bodywork.  One rust hole in the pc the size of a dime in front of the windshield.  All very good glass except windshield.  All good chrome trim in great shape for the year model.  Doors work great.  Lights and most gauges work.  Dash Pad is perfect.  Good lines.  No bubbles under the top, can't believe it but it's true.  Rocker panels pinch rails and door jams no rust and in good shape see pictures.

This is a true GTO muscle car survivor and never been painted or restored so you want be digging into a bunch of bondo!  REALLY GOOD ONE TO restore.  The DMV allowed the protecto plate to stay with the car to identify the correct colors and 242 states it's a true GTO.  Have a clear title in hand...bid to win because this is a unrestored true muscle car and the Ram Air III will not bother most people because they are the top of the line for the Ram-Air III cars and they run real strong and the 66 3 duce is very functional even the center choke works.  I have a good driver side fender extra for the car and also the back bumper with all the brackets on it will go with the car.  If you need to talk to me the number is 6066277583  Check out the youtube video and listen to her run at http://youtu.be/BIaYV-HEgHo

The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction

Sat, Apr 4 2020

Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction.  As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country.  In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals.  This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer.  The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced

Mon, Jan 29 2024

DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel. The urgent warning Monday covers: Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years. RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005. Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory. Most of the vehicles are in the U.S. “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement. Owners can go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their cars are affected. If you're not the original owner of the vehicle, the manufacturer's recall letter might not reach you, so be sure to do the VIN check. The recalled RAV4s have Takata driver's airbags while the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side. The Corolla and Matrix also are under a separate recall because their airbags can be deployed without a crash, the company said. Both companies said owners should contact a local dealer instead of driving the cars in for repairs. Dealers will provide options such as mobile repair, towing the car to a dealer, or vehicle pickup and delivery. Takata used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate airbags in a crash. But the chemical propellant can deteriorate over time when exposed to high temperatures and humidity. It can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and at least 30 have died worldwide including people in Malaysia and Australia. In addition, about 400 people have been injured. The exploding airbags sent Takata of Japan into bankruptcy. The potential for a dangerous malfunction led to the largest series of auto recalls in U.S. history. About 100 million inflators were recalled worldwide. Recalls Pontiac Toyota Takata airbag recall
