I AM SELLING THIS BEAUTIFUL GTO FOR A FRIEND

I HAVE PERSONALY DRIVEN AND INSPECTED THIS CAR IN MY SHOP AND WILL ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS HONESTLY AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE

I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A MORE RARE, SOLID '66 GTO THAN THIS

ONLY 3 REGISTERED OWNERS

This great car has always resided within 30-miles of INWOOD, WEST VA. This is one of the most solid GTOs' you will ever find and it HAS NOT BEEN RESTORED!! The floors, including trunk and the frame are excellent AND ALL ORIGINAL. All of the moldings and emblems are original. The interior including the carpet, door panels, seats, dash, steering wheel, and console, are all very nice AND ALL ORIGINAL. It is hard to believe it is 47-years old! All of the glass is good; the windows roll-up and down well; all gauges, lights, signals, horn, wipers, heater, and radio work properly. The power convertible top is black and looks nice, although the back window is badly yellowed and needs replacing. The power top goes up and down fine. The current top was installed in the late 70's. About that same time, the paint color was changed from its original Reef Turquoise to Black. Yes, this Black paint is the same from 1978. Although not perfect, it is still very presentable "as is". The bumpers are vintage 1966.

The engine is the original #'s matching code WS, 360 HP, 389 cid that it was "born with". It was rebuilt to stock specs with a .040 overbore. It still has its original 093 heads, distributor, and exhaust manifolds. The carbs, air cleaner and valve covers are ALL ORIGINAL. The 4-speed transmission is correct, but not #'s matching. The original #'s matching transmission comes with the car but it needs to be repaired due to a broken tail shaft in the late 70's. The original shifter is still in place and works fine. The rear differential is original with its 3:55 posi.

The doors, trunk, and hood open and as they should and have excellent gaps; door vent chrome is nice. The trunk floor has been resprayed and a new mat was installed to freshen it up. The correct jack is still in place. The exhaust is the original style but newer with quiet mufflers as original. Ralleye I wheels and Coker redlines have been added for a better driving experience. Originally, this beauty had whitewalls and poverty caps, which I do not have. This car starts, runs, drives and stops excellent. Please take note - this great GTO has very few options - No power steering or power brakes. Actually, it steers pretty easily and the brakes (rebuilt) work great. There are no unusual noises or rattles when driving this car. It has 94,834 miles which I have been assured are original. Although, the second owner doesn't recall, it appears there may have been slight damage to the left fender, probably minor.

I would not hesitate to drive this awesome car cross-country. Recently, driven on a 5-hour road trip through the mountains of WV with no issues.

For further inspection, you or a representative may inspect the car on a lift in my shop. Clear title in-hand. PHS docs, original sales invoice, protecto plate, build order sheet, manuals, dated build tags are all in-hand.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am

Sun, Jun 28 2015

The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.
