1964 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Wake Forest, North Carolina, United States
|
Car is located in Wake Forest, NC Numbers Matching, Original 1964 Pontiac GTO 4 Barrel (engine date code F284) - I have the 3-2 barrel manifold but never converted it because, contrary to popular opinion, the 4 Barrel works better (in my opinion anyway). I bought the car in 2011; prior owner had the car restored and engine rebuilt. Frankly, not the world’s best restoration. Since the time that I have had it have done a “frame on” restoration. While I have made a bunch of modifications, I have all of the original parts; if you’re a stickler you can put it back but take it from me: it is so much better now; pro touring upgrades to suspension and brakes! Generally speaking, completely all original cars are horrible driving cars. This is a great looking car in great shape; it was not built to be a show car; it was built to drive. Everything works except the original radio (didn’t want to take it out of the dash) –I added an amplifier in the trunk so it is iPod ready. Too much to list but I will give it a try: Rebuilt motor (by previous owner); it runs strong and is pretty much stock as far as I can tell 3.08 posi rear Rebuilt original Carter AFB SPC tubular upper control arms, heavy duty ball joints SPC coil springs 550 lbs front, 135 back – whole car is dropped 2-3” Front and rear sway bars Body completely gone over; body gaps and panels all smoothed, straight and repainted R134 Air condition; upgraded compressor, condenser, hoses, blower motor Re-cored the heavy duty radiator Bilstein Shocks all four corners Recondition driver and passenger seats to firm them up Antenna relocated from front to right rear 45 degree with electric motor New starter All bushings replaced – sway bars, control arms, ball joints 4 wheel disc brakes upgrade with dual master cylinder Team III 17x8 “minilite” style wheels; 225/55/17s front, 255/50/17 rear Kumbo Ecsta Custom fabrication of front air scoops – now functional – have original inserts Ram Air Products High Performance Manifolds and Pypes Exhaust Upgraded to 3 speed Turbo 350 transmission – have original 2 speed superglide (3 speed is way better) Added additional water temp and pressure gauge from a ’65 to replace the clock Custom Car Cover $364 Rechromed front and rear bumpers Added vintage vacuum and tach gauges on the center console Petronix electronic ignition with MSD MS6 Receipts for almost everything! |

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
