Rare 71 Pontiac Gto 455 Project Many Options With Phs! on 2040-cars
Auburn, New York, United States
|
Up for bid is a Real rare (1 of 534 out of 9k total gto's in 71) 242 1971 GTO has been off road for 20 years, car is very complete but in need of a full restoration, I will be very descriptive, but please ask any and all questions or come see the car before you bid! Drivetrain looks to be original, car starts, and moves on it's own but NOT driveable in its current state. PHS docs verify the following options...455/325hp, TH400 trans, 12 bolt rear 3:07 open (gears not verified), factory A/C, power disc brakes, power steering, rally gauge cluster, power windows, tinted glass, rally 2 wheels, buckets and console, and AM radio. It also has rear sway bar and boxed trailing arms, and is in it's original color scheme. Mechanical... TO THE BEST of my knowledge the engine, trans, and rear are original to the car, BUT I am not the Pontiac guru so you be the judge. The block is a YC code (see pic) that verifies it to be a 455, the casting number is 485428, which is also 455, but I havent located the casting date. The heads are #66, which are 71 only, and are dated H 27 0, and H26 0, intake is 481733, carb is a rochester replacement for this ap. I put a Holley on it with a gas can just to show you it runs, it starts and idles, has some chatter, I would rebuild it if I restored the car. The trans goes into forward and reverse. Most of the A/C items are in place. Car has headers and full exhaust in good shape. Engine is orange for some reason, clean inside, and looks to be original breather also included. Body...needs floor pans, and trunk pan, frame is solid and no past repairs, rear crosspart, looks to have been tugged on but should be fixable or changeable. There is rust/rot around front and rear windows, hood may or may not be repairable, core support decent, doors, fenders and 1/4's can be repaired or replaced depending on your level of resto. Doors open and shut nice. Car was delivered to City Motors Sales Co in Passaic, NJ and looks to have spent most it's life there. AGAIN this car needs a FULL resto and may be too much work for a rookie. Please be serious if you bid, bidders with less than 10 good feedbacks contact me before you bid or be cancelled. Title is clear and car is sold AS IS Where is. Mileage shows 48,xxx, may not be original. Total payment due in 5 days, car to be picked up within 10 days unless other arrangements are made. $300 deposit by paypal in 48 hrs, prefer cash balance at pickup. Car and title not released until paid in full and funds are clear. Low Reserve, no buy it now, but open to offers, auction may end at anytime.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
