Feel free to ask me any questions about the car : buddemeyer85@zoho.com .1964 Pontiac GTO Unrestored Tripower
True Survivor Time Capsule
8000 Orignal Miles
As an avid car collector, I, along with many others in the hobby, feel that no muscle car collection is complete
without at least one example of the 1964 GTO which is considered to be the first muscle car built.
In November of 2010, I received a phone call from noted Pontiac historian, Jim Mattison. Jim was well aware of my
passion for unrestored cars and had just been contacted by the family of a gentleman who had ordered a new Pontiac,
delivered May 19, 1964, from Community Motors, in Chicago. The family was interested in selling and wanted it to go
to a good home where it would be well cared for. Jim had described the car to me as an 8,000 mile unrestored and
original time capsule 1964 Tri-power GTO. I immediately called the guys at Tri-power Automotive, in
Libertyville, Illinois, Pontiac specialists, and asked them to go take a look at the car for me.
With their first look at the car, their impression was that the car had been restored or at the very least
re-painted. They first opened up the trunk and saw a reproduction trunk mat. While they felt that this was evidence
of a restoration, they lifted the mat to find, to their amazement, that the reproduction was there to protect the
beautiful, original, trunk mat that lay beneath it. They then took out the spare tire to find that it was the
original spare from 1964 and had never been on the ground.
Now, they began to really look at the car even more closely and soon realized that this truly was the “time
capsule” they had come to see. The paint is 100% original and in nearly the same condition as when it rolled off
the line in 1964. The interior is 100% original and still retains that “new car smell.”The complete drive
train is born with #'S MATCHING 100% ORIGINAL!!!!
This would undoubtedly have to be one of the highest optioned 1964 GTO's ever built.
Per the PHS, the 20+ options include:
Push Button Radio
Verba-Phonic Speaker
Console
Wood-grain Style Custom Sports Steering Wheel
Windshield Washer and Dual Wiper Speed
Instrument Panel Pad
Tachometer
Optional Tri-Power 389 4-speed
H. D. Radiator
Optional and very rare breakerless transistor ignition
Ride & Handling Package
Metallic Brakes
Saf-T Track Differential
M21 Close Ratio with 3.90 Axle
I have owned over 50 unrestored cars over the years and this is by far the most original untouched car that I have
ever owned or even seen. Steve Shauger’s team of "Vintage Judges" confirmed my thoughts, when this car was
awarded 2724.49 points out of the possible 2784 points possible, in November of 2013 at the MCACN event, and given
their highest “Award of Legend.”

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two
Sun, Jun 19 2016We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Fiero 2M4
Sun, Oct 8 2023The mid-engined, plastic-bodied Pontiac Fiero two-seater caused great excitement when it hit the streets as a 1984 model, then became something of an embarrassment for GM when its design flaws became clear to the car-buying public. Still, when a V6 engine became available for 1985, followed by a fastback roof for 1986, the air of Pontiac Excitement around the Fiero lingered to a certain extent. We took a look at a discarded '86 Fiero GT with both the 2.8-liter V6 and the fastback body last year, and now we'll take a look at an example of the econo-commuter four-cylinder notchback version from the same year. Pontiac used the 2M4 designation (standing for two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders) on four-cylinder Fieros, while the six-cylinder cars were known as 2M6s. 2M4 decals went on four-banger Fieros for the 1984-1986 model years, while 2M6 decals seem to have been applied less consistently to the V6 cars of that period. During the early development period of the car that became the Fiero, the idea was that it would be a nimble sports car with a lightweight engine. Then the plan shifted, with the Fiero intended to be a gas-sipping commuter. When the car finally hit showrooms, it was a lot heavier than intended, it had a Chevy Citation front suspension in the back plus a Chevette front suspension, and its engine was the low-revving, weighty Iron Duke 2.5-liter straight-four. The Duke was about the least sports-car-appropriate four-cylinder engine The General could dredge up from his parts bins, but it was cheap and there was no shortage of production capacity. By the time the Fiero came out, the Iron Duke had been renamed the Tech 4. This one was rated at 92 horsepower and 132 pound-feet. The V6 Fieros get all the press today, but plenty of the Duked versions were sold (amazingly, the Chevrolet Camaro was available with Iron Duke power from 1982 through 1986). The emissions sticker tells us that this was a California-market car, rather than the "49-state" model the rest of the country got. California-specific emissions hardware added $99 to this car's price ($277 in 2023 dollars). While this car is a base model, the original buyer loaded it with options. The transmission is a three-speed automatic, priced at $465 (about $1,303 in 2023 dollars). A five-speed manual was standard equipment on the 1986 Fiero, though the old-fashioned four-speed manual was still available for a $50 credit ($140 now).
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi
Sat, Jun 19 2021The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.
