1970 - Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Hackensack, New Jersey, United States
For sale is a completely restored, PHS documented, number matching 1970 GTO. This car is 1 of 1900 original, Starlight Black car produced in 1970. It is also an original, Black Vinyl Top car with extremely rare, RED interior, making the color and top combination extremely rare. It has just received a two year, "Frame Off" restoration. The car was completely disassembled and painstakingly restored and reassembled. As of this writing, the car has never been shown, and only has shake-down miles since the restoration was completed. This particular GTO is 1059, and was built on the third day of production, in the Baltimore plant on Aug 17, 1969. As verified by the title and the previous owner, it has only 57k original miles. The original owner drove the car till it lost oil pressure, in 1974 and parked it. The second “physical owner”, was a friend of the original owner. He purchased the car when his friend filed for divorce, but he never titled the car in his name. When I purchased the car, it had been off the road, in dry storage for almost four decades! The car still retains the original drive train, that is completely rebuilt, including the original 9799914 block w/VIN, 12 heads, 7040263 carb, 068 intake, 1111176 distributor, 660 M20 trans w/VIN, frame, Harrison radiator, rad support, and its ORIGINAL BUILT SHEET! There are six verifiable VINs on this car, they are as follows: Drivers door tag, Dash VIN plate, (2) hidden Firewall VIN around the fan & under the heater box, on the Block, and transmission. The frame VIN is only partially visible but it is there. Options include, 400 CID, WT code engine, with a 4 speed transmission, Power Steering, Power Disk Brakes, Soft Ray Glass, Vinyl Top, bucket Seats & Console and AM radio. During the restoration process I added, Rally gauges, in-dash tachometer, HO exhaust manifolds, 3:90 12 Bolt Posi, and 15" Rally II's wheels. I have the original 3:55 10 bolt rear and will either turn it over to the buyer or re-install it if the buyer prefers. The car still retains all of its exterior sheet metal. There is only one patch in the exterior. It is smaller than a silver dollar, and it is located in the lower LHS quarter, behind the tire, and it’s completely covered by the wheel opening trim. All of the exterior chrome & stainless is in excellent condition, and most of it is also original to the car. The floor and trunk are also original, with only two minor patches, one on the drives toe area and one in the trunk, typical of vinyl top cars. Neither patch can be detected from either inside or under the car. The interior has been completely restored with “Legendary” sear covers, door panels, carpet, arm rests and headliner. The kick panels, seat backs, headrests, console, deluxe steering wheel, and rear view mirror, are original RED items, still with the car, and in great condition. The fit and finish on this car is better than factory original. The panel gaps are show quality. The doors close like a safe, and match with the fenders & the quarters perfectly. The nose alone has well over 10 man days invested to assure the best possible fit & finish! The paint is all PPG products, starting with two coats epoxy sealer, four coats base, three coats clear / wet sand, and two more coats clear! There is almost two thousand dollars in PPG products on this car. I’m selling this car to fund two other projects (70’ GTO 4 speed conv, and a 57’ Chevy conv.) The GTO convertible will be for sale in a month or so, the 57’ is a keeper, sorry! I have over 100 pictures of the car, starting when I found it in a barn through the restoration, and up till today. I started the sale with just a few pics, and will add more current pictures in a day or so. Shoot me an email if you want to see something specific. If you would like to see it in person I will make every effort to accommodate you.

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids
Tue, May 29 2018Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD with no connection between the axles could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
