Up for auction is a 1964 Pontiac GTO Street Rod, it started life as a Lemans, but anyone that knows their' Pontiacs, knows that in 64 GTO was only a Lemans option and consisted of mainly emblems and a larger V-8 and hood. Other than that the entire body is identical, which changed in later years, so all it needed was a hood, and emblems. Of course for the purists this car would not suffice, but I am not a purist and if you are this car is not for you. I am a Pontiac lover and Pontaic performance enthusiast and if you are , then you will find no better, this car took me 5 years to build, scrimping and saving, and used the best of the best, from the best Pontiac performance builders in the country. It has 580 miles on entire restoration that is 2 years old, garage kept, never seen a drop of rain. It started life as a very clean Lemans, the entire car was dissasembled, basically a frame off, and every panel was blasted and/or paint removed, every bolt removed and replaced, most with stainless steel, the rockers, fenders, doors, trunk, bumpers are all original and rust free, The quarters had a little rust around the wheel wells so we installed brand new full quarters,to factory seams, instead of patching. If you know 64 GTO's NOS hoods are very rare and no repros were mfg. so the hood is glass.We sprayed the entire car with epoxy primer, block sanded, shot the interior with semi gloss trim black and 3 stage exterior in a 2008 Lexus Brandywine Mica color, sanded and polished.The paint is pretty much pristine,except for a few fish eyes that could probably use a little massaging.The bumpers are all original with original chrome in nice shape. All the stainless trim and grills are original and reworked, polished and painted by Paul's Chrome, except the windshiled trim is new repro. The interior consists of real nice original door panels, seats are reupholsterd original frames with 1965 GTO pattern, I know, not year correct but I liked the arrowhead pattern better, and new Ames black rug. The dash is new, gauge cluster is a John Covan carbon fiber deal with Auto Meter Cobalt, Speedo, Tach, Fuel, Water, Oil, Volts, special edition Grant wheel mounted to a tilt Ididit column, Blaupunkt CD 33 100 amp head unit, Kenwood kick panel and rear deck 4 way speakers, with a trunk mounted Kenwood 350 watt amp. Now to the motor, the block is a 1970 455 filled block, drilled with splayed 4 bolt caps, bored and stroked to 474 cubic inch, fully balanced rotating assembly by Kauffman Racing wih all Crower components,oiling is handled by a Milodon Deep Sump Unit, pump is a Melling Kaufman unit pumping Rotella T 15/40 diesel oil, the cam is a mechanical solid unit custom grind by Jeff Kaufman with 607 lift with 1.65 stainless steel roller rockers and full lifter bracing, heads are Kaufman Aluminum High Port units that flow 320, intake is a port matched and opened up for the high ports, rare,original Doug Nash unit. Carburetion is a 950 cfm HP by Quick Fuel with custom jetting. Exhaust is Dougs Round Port Headers with aluminum coating, Doug's Electronic Exhaust Dumps to instantly open the headers, entire exhaust out the rear is 3"stainless steel system by Pypes with X Pipe and Race Pro mufflers. Brand New stock fuel Tank with Jegs Weld On Sump and Earls Stainless Steel ball style shut off valves. Fuel pump is a Robb MC Billet 1100 HP mechanical pump with an electric back up dual stainless steel lined set-up and Robb MC Billet Fuel Filter. Coolant is handled by CSR Electric Water Pump and dual Camaro LT1 Electric Fans.Sparking is handled by Mallory HyFire VI and Accel DFI Coil, NGK spark plugs. Drivetrain consists of a Lakewood Explosion Proof Block Saver and Scatter Shield Bell Housing, Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch powering an original tried and true (not a Richmond repro) beefed up Doug Nash 5 speed transmission, all new driveshaft and TRW universals, Lakewood Driveshaft Loop, 9" Ford Rear custom made by Spraker Racing with 3.25 gears, full posi and heavy, thick splined axles. Transmission gearing pretty much has the car in 4.11 ratio from 1st to 4th and 3.25 in 5th for an overdrive effect. Braking is Classic Performance all stainless steel drilled and slotted discs front and rear, with all stainless steel brake lines front to back and new dual master cylinder power unit., all new control arm bushings, ball joints, steering linkage. Wheels are 16"aluminum Centerline Dagger wheels, front tires are Kuyhmo Ecsta 225/55-16 fronts, Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials 255/50-16 on rear ( a must to try to keep it glued to the street) with all custom lowering spings and Air Lift bags for a nice low stance. This motor has not been dynoed, but a fellow Pontiac friend has pretty much the same set-up and he dynoed 607 HP, and let me tell you, it sure as hell feels like it, the motor comes out to be 11.5 to 1 compression ratio and will run with Premium Pump Fuel, although I mix in 110 Octane VP . There's probably more I'm forgetting, it's been a long road, I've used the best of the best to build this car and hate to sell it but can't afford to keep more than one and I have a new project going. I have well over $35,000 invested in this car and thats not including my labor, it's a head turner no matter where it goes, wins trophies at every show, never been to the track so hasn't been pounded, it's still fresh and ready to go. The only con I can give with this car is the few fish eyes I mentioned in the paint and the trunk leaks abt. a cup of water water when you wash the car, so you must remove the mat and wipe it dry during every wash, just never had time to track down the leak, maybe the weatherstrip was installed incorrectly, other than that pristine. If you decide to bid on my car, you won't be dissapointed, and good luck.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird
Sat, May 9 2020From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.

GM Recalls 1.5 Million Cars For Steering Defect
Tue, Apr 1 2014General Motors Co. said Monday it is recalling 1.5 million vehicles worldwide because the electronic power-steering assist can suddenly stop working, making them harder to steer. The new recall brings to 6.3 million the number of vehicles GM has recalled since February. The initial recall - now at 2.6 million small cars for an ignition switch defect - prompted the automaker to name a new safety chief and speed up the review of cases that might lead to recalls. GM said it expects recall-related costs to total $750 million in the first quarter, including $300 million for the ignition switch recall. Included in the new recall are: - Chevrolet Malibu from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006, 2008 and 2009 model-year cars. - Chevrolet Malibu Maxx from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006 model-year cars. - Chevrolet HHR from the 2009-2010 model years (non-turbocharged only). - Some Chevrolet Cobalts from the 2010 model year. - Some Saturn Auras from the 2008-2009 model years. - Saturn Ion from the 2004-2007 model years. - Pontiac G6 from the 2005 model year, plus some cars from the 2006, 2008 and 2009 model years. - Service parts installed into certain vehicles before May 31, 2010, under a previous recall GM says no deaths related to the defect have been reported. It is still investigating whether there have been any accidents or injuries related to the problem. GM dealers will replace the power steering motor and other parts for free. Spokesman Alan Adler said owners will be notified of the recall the week of April 28 and will be told when parts are available after that. The Cobalt and the Ion, which are also involved in the ignition switch recall, share many common parts.GM recalled Cobalts from the 2005-2010 model years for the power steering defect in 2010, but it's unclear why the company didn't recall the Ion at the same time. Federal regulators also opened an investigation into power steering complaints in the Ion in 2010, but didn't order a recall.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
