1967 Pontiac Gto Wagon Rat Rod Project - Over 18k Invested - Pro Built on 2040-cars
Mount Juliet, Tennessee, United States
| i have had this wagon for 9 years and just have no time to finish. Pains me to tell this story but here is the history. Yes it is technically a LEMANS but has GTO Hood, grill, seats, etc.  So I call it a GTO wagon. The wagon had original 326 and was sent to a well known Pontiac racer in VA to have it totally redone. He ripped out the motor and put in a screaming 455 and rebuilt trans. Whole dash was redone with new gauges, suspension redone, etc. I spent about 7-8k with him on work taking over 6 months. Then I got a GTO hood, GTO seats, GTO Grill, his/her shifter console and front grill to make it look better. Stripped down body and primed it. Things were going well. Life changed...wife..family...typical story. Car was outside covered with one of those blowup complete covers. Then car moved to a body shop in NY...unknown to me it got move outside without cover so alot of damage. Very sad. Water got inside car so shifter is ruined, carpet was soaked, etc. Hood was closed but seems motor got weathered. So far have changed out new carb, starter, distributor, pugs, wires. Has MSD ignition box, Skip White distributor, ..tons of quality parts. Got it running but shifter linkage is frozen so that is next on the list. If I try to start it...just wants to go as it is in gear. Really dont have more time to put into it with family and two businesses. Looking to trade for something running/driving. Love rat rods and old stuff but could also use a good pickup truck. So I have roughly 15-20K+ into it..probably more if I add it up. Ive realized I do not have the time or space to finish although I do not think it would take much. I would say this is quite a deal for someone who can finish it up. Everything is there but needs work. Use it as rat rod! Open to bartering for something that is turn the key and go. No projects. The car has been outside for some time but has held up quite well. Does have some rust of course and some metal pitting along rear side windows. Also noticed a nice ding in hood/front valance but should be able to be banged out. ----------- 2/25/2013 I found many receipts from the car: Car - 4100 motor - 5500 trans - 900 brakes (front disc, rear, lines) - 1250 suspension - 1865 rear - 600 extras (console, shifter, gauge install, GTO seats, starter, alternator, MSD, exhaust, headers) - 3040 paint supplies - 500 gauges - 960 Total is 18715... think i am going to be sick. Then add in GTO hood, front grill, transport, other items, etc. Has extra glass (many pieces) but no windshield anywhere. You will need to get one. Door glass installed as is rear hatch glass. Side rear windows have glass but has to be reinstalled with new rubber. So basically I am giving everything for free and selling you a motor. Ridiculous... |

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac Grand Am LE with Quad 4 Engine
Wed, May 9 2018GM introduced the N-Body compact platform with the Oldsmobile Calais and Pontiac Grand Am for the 1985 model year and continued building N-based cars through 1998. Most of these cars weren't interesting from an enthusiast standpoint, but a handful rolled off the assembly line with raucous DOHC Oldsmobile Quad 4 engines and manual transmissions, and those cars were plenty of fun. Here's a 1991 Grand Am with that rare setup, photographed in a self-service yard in California's Central Valley. The base engine in the 1991 Grand Am was the 110-horsepower, 2.5-liter pushrod Iron Duke, an engine that might have been fine on a Romanian tractor in 1953 but had no place on an American street car as the 21st century approached. Fortunately, GM started bolting the modern 2.3-liter DOHC Quad 4 engine into 1988 cars, and this was a proper four-cylinder. The Quad 4 ran a little rough and uncivilized, and it had its share of reliability problems, but you could rev the piss out of it and it made good power. In 1991, this engine was rated at 180 hp. That made this 2,592-pound sedan pretty quick. Unfortunately, the slushboxization of America had progressed with depressing rapidity during the 1980s, and by 1991 most Grand Am buyers — even the ones who opted for the Quad 4 — chose the automatic transmission. That didn't happen with this car, though — it boasts a rugged Getrag 5-speed instead of the happiness-amputating three-speed automatic. Yes, that's the kind of odometer reading you'd expect to see on an Accord or Maxima from this era. Someone loved this car and took care of it. Here we see an interesting mix of 1980s and 1990s car-radio technology. CD players in cars were still costly luxury items in 1991, seldom seen in affordable cars like the Grand Am, while 1980s-style slider-style EQ controls were on the way out. This Delco unit straddles both decades nicely. I seek out Quad 4-equipped cars during my junkyard travels, and I have photographed quite a few: this '89 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Grand Am, this '91 Quad 442, this '93 Achieva SCX, and this '98 Cavalier Z24. It's a shame that Buick never put the Quad 4 in the Reatta, which was a fine car ruined by a somnolent and obsolete V6. The music in this ad is even more early-1990s than Crystal Pepsi.

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:
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
