Up for sale is my 1970 GTO Verdoro Green. I have owned this almost 10 years now and am thinking it is time for a new toy. This car was originally fro California which I believe is why it is so clean. It has a non numbers matching drivetrain but the block is a WT 400 1970 block. The heads are #12 heads with hardened valve seats. Cam specs, duration  298/303, Lift .466/.488. CompCams roller rockers 1.65 ratio.  It has an eagle crank and eagle rods with BRC pistons that have been dished to lower the compression to 9.5 to 1 so it runs good on pump gas. Also the rotating assembly was balanced, Heads have been mildly ported and the intake was gasket matched. it has a 750 quadrajet carb that has been gone thru to feed this monster. Engine only has about 2000 miles since it was rebuilt. This car is incredibly fast and really puts you back in the seat but to look under the hood it looks pretty stock except for the headers and air cleaner. I do syill have the original air cleaner that will go with the car, I also still have the California emissions charcoal canister that the car came with. Right now it still has the original 10 Bolt open rear end but I have a 12 bolt posi rear with 373 gears which I will let go with the car for an additional $500. The interior is near perfect, The body is very nice but the paint is 10 years old so it is not perfect. It has a scratch in the drivers side rear quarter a small dent in the passenger door and the nose has the typical cracks that the endure nose is prone to. See the pics for all of this I have tried to show all of this. Under the hood is very clean as is under the car which was all cleaned and painted about 8 years ago. Mechanically the car is perfect but could use a frontend alignment it does not pull and has no play but the steering is easier then it should be so I think it could use an alignment. It has a new clutch and pressure plate installed this year. Headers are Hooker super comps and the exhaust is 2.5" from pypes.This car was originally a 3 speed manual but at some point someone installed a Muncie 4 speed which works great. Tha radiator is a 4 core and was replaced about 4 years ago. The gas tank was replaced about 5 years ago. Car original had manual drum brake but I converted it to power front discs, after I did this I never had the alignment done so this is why I know it needs one. car had a hot start issue on those hot summer day which is common in Pontiac so I installed thicker gauge battery cables and a high torque mini starter from summit racing. This car starts right up every time and runs perfect, I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. I have set a reserve because I do not want not give it away however you could not build this car for what my reserve is. Car is for sale locally also so I can end auction at any time if it sells. Short videos follow these links http://youtu.be/CUC3bG8UUSo and http://youtu.be/oErP1u-kZBk If you have any questions pleas don't hesitate to ask. buyer is responsible for shipping of vehicle however I will assist as much as possible on my end.

World's only 1964 Pontiac XP-833 Banshee coupe for sale by Kia dealer

Mon, Apr 20 2020

It seems like there has been a spate of especially odd car sales in the first part of this especially odd year, from the numerous barn finds and homebrew specials to the time capsule cars — like the BMW wrapped in a protective bubble for 23 years. Napoli Kia in Milford, Connecticut, brings us another, via Motor1. Len Napoli is the dealership principal and die-hard Pontiac maven; his father opened Napoli Pontiac in 1958, and Len held onto the franchise until the early 2000s, just before GM shuttered the brand that built excitement. Napoli got hold of the 1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833 coupe concept, and put the car up for sale through his Kia dealership for $750,000. The exceptional price comes from the fact that Pontiac built two Banshee concepts in 1964, one this silver coupe with a red interior, the other a white roadster, making each concept a one-of-one collector car.      Motor Trend wrote a detailed piece on this one in 2013, the editorial tour hosted by Bill Collins, the Banshee's lead engineer. The short story is that GM exec John Z. DeLorean — yes, him —  gave approval to a small crew at Pontiac to create a two-seater sports car to compete with the Mustang, because GM had nothing to fend off the four-seat coupe that would sell one million units in just 18 months on the market. Collins and his team took inspiration from the 1963 Corvair Monza GT concept, working up a fiberglass body over a steel frame, with a 230-cubic-inch overhead-cam straight-six producing 165 horsepower and 216 pound-feet of torque, a four-speed manual transmission, and 9.5-inch drum brakes at all corners. The idea was that the XP-833 would be "an affordable and fun two-seat sports car," the concept demonstrating the base-model price leader offering a lengthy list of options for those who wanted more. The white roadster, in fact, fitted a 326 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. Rumor says that Chevrolet execs didn't like having another two-seater sports car in the GM fold, especially one with a fiberglass body that held weight down to 2,200 pounds. GM execs took one look at the two concepts in 1965 and shut the project down. The two XP-833s lived in a garage for years, Collins and his colleague Bill Killen getting permission to buy the cars from GM in 1973 before Collins left to help engineer the DeLorean DMC-12. It wasn't until just before Collins departed that the XP-333 got the name Banshee.

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams

Fri, Aug 31 2018

There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch
