1965 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Wellsville, Pennsylvania, United States
ENGINE: The car came equiped with a 4 barrel carb. In 1996 I bought a completely refurbished tri-power set up, all
invoices are included. The original intake manifold is included in the sale. In 2013 I had the motor proffessionaly
rebuilt by a well known engine builder in my area named Doug Myers. That rebuild included an upgraded Crower Baja
Beast camshaft part # 60915 and the motor slightly bored.The engine produces an estimated 390 horsepower and "runs
perfect." The GTO has traveled only about 500 miles since its engine rebuild. The original exhaust manifolds and
exhaust pipes are included with the sale. Equiped with headers and a custom stainless-steel exhaust system.
DRIVELINE: In 1965, buyers who purchased a GTO with the optional automatic transmission got the two-speed
Powerglide, either shifted on the column or via the floor-mounted shifter in the optional console. The floor
shifter and console were ordered on this car, but after purchase, I opted to upgrade to the more versatile
three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 transmission. For all of you wondering were I found the 3 speed factory
appearance console shift indicator, the company is called "SHIFT WORKS". At the time of the transmission swap, the
ring and pinon set was upgraded, as well, from the GTO's 3.55:1 ratio to a snappier 3.90 gear set with the
limited-slip Safe-T-Track differential. The original Powerglide transmission is included with the sale.
SUSPENSION AND CHASSIS: The suspension was rebuilt in 1999 and was completely gone through at that time, including
springs, shocks, ball joints and bushings. The rear coil springs feature helper air bags to adjust ride height.
Power steering came with this GTO in 1965. The brakes are power assisted and the booster retains its cadmium plated
finish and single-reservoir master cylinder. The wheels are the optional competition-type steel wheels, with brake
cooling slots otherwise known as the Pontiac Rallye I, with the correct center caps and trim rings in place. Coker
Redline Radial tires were installed in 2010 and still have 11/32 of tread left.
EXTERIOR: The Cameo Ivory finish is in fresh and presentable condition, the car has spent no time on a trailer and
has been driven from time to time during ownership, just like they should be.The paint still shows well. When I
purchased the car In1995, it had some very minor surface rust on the hood scoop, and some minor pitting around the
rear wheel arches. I own a body shop and media blasted the rust away, filling any pits with lead ( no bondo, or
plastic as we call it in our industry) and polyester before repainting the rear quarter panels. All panels are
straight and true. I supplied a video link @ the bottom of the page. The only modifications to the body took place
in the hood scoop. I opened the nostrils in the hood scoop and added a factory Pontiac pan and foam gasket to meet
the underside of the hood, allowing fresh air to funnel directly to the carburetors.
INTERIOR: Inside, the black interior is in completely original condition with only a handful of minor
modifications. The black seat upholstery shows no cracks and has firm padding underneath. The interior door panels
are in fine shape,the grab handles and armrests are a bit worn. The loop pile carpet is in excellent condition, as
is the headliner. The only significant modification is to the original radio. The dash retains the original head
unit, but it's been modified to operate on the FM frequency and features an amplifier. Two coaxial speakers have
been installed in the rear package shelf.

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Sunbird Sedan
Sun, Jun 28 2020The J-Body platform was a giant seller for GM, staying in production from the first 1981 Chevrolet Cavalier all the way through that final 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. Outside of North America, Opels and Daewoos and Isuzus and Holdens and Vauxhalls and even Toyotas flew the J flag, and better than ten million rolled out of showrooms during that quarter-century. In the United States, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, and Cadillac each sold J-Bodies. Of those, the Pontiac Sunbird often had the sportiest image, more cavalier than even the Cavalier Z24. I've documented a discarded Sunbird Turbo in the past, and now here's a bread-and-butter Sunbird sedan from the same era. The Sunbird name began its life in 1976 on the Pontiac-badged version of the rear-wheel-drive Buick Skyhawk, itself based on the Chevy Vega. The first J-Body Pontiacs had J2000 badges, then 2000 badges, then 2000 Sunbird badges, until finally the pure non-2000 Sunbird appeared for the 1985 model year. I remain disappointed that the 2000 name didn't survive into our current century, because we could have had a 2000 Pontiac 2000, or just the "2000 2000" for short. The base engine in the '86 Sunbird was this SOHC 1.8-liter four of Brazilian origin, rated at 84 horsepower. Originally developed by Opel in the late 1970s, this engine family went into cars built all across the sprawling GM empire. 84 horsepower doesn't sound like much— and it wasn't much, even by 1986 standards— but at least the original buyer of this car had the smarts to get the five-speed manual transmission. This car weighed just 2,336 pounds, a good 500 pounds lighter than the current Chevy Sonic, so performance with the manual transmission was tolerable. The '86 Sunbird's interior was much nicer than those in its Cavalier siblings, though nowhere near the Cadillac Cimarron's reading on the Plush-O-Meter. An AM/FM/cassette stereo with auto reverse was serious audio hardware in a cheap car during the middle 1980s, when even a scratchy factory AM-only radio cost the equivalent of several hundred 2020 bucks. The price tag of this car started at $7,495, or about $17,500 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible Cavalier sedan went for $6,888 in 1986, but a zero-option base '86 Cavalier would make you think you'd been transported to the Soviet Union every time you slunk into its harsh confines.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
Rent the 1967 Pontiac GTO from the XxX films now on Turo
Tue, Jan 10 2017The process of renting a car usually ranges from mildly annoying to "I'm calling corporate to get you fired." Plainly, it sucks, but sometimes you're left with no alternative. Turo, a peer-to-peer carsharing network, has created what's essentially the AirBnB for cars. Like AirBnB, the quality and variety of the rides varies based on location. If you're in Tucson, Ariz., in the next week, go check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible before the release of XxX: The Return of Xander Cage. Promotions and marketing aside, this is still the opportunity to drive one of the original muscle cars. It's not clear if this is an original GTO or a Pontiac Tempest that was converted, but does it really matter? Old cars never drive as well as you hope, so, as long as it looks and sounds awesome, who cares? The owner listed on Turo is Xander C., Vin Diesel's character from the XxX franchise. This is the car that was used in the original 2002 film, and from the photos it appears to be in better shape than many other movie cars. The exterior is mostly stock, with some slight modifications to the lighting, wheels, exhaust, and trim, with the addition of a funky looking hood scoop that the listing claims shoots flames. It's not clear if it functions as an actual intake because there aren't any notes about what rests under the hood. The listing does ask for premium fuel, so more than likely it's some variation of a high-compression V8. Inside, the dashboard looks like someone raided the AutoZone accessory aisle. There are gauges, dials, toggle switches, and readouts galore. The listing also claims the Goat is packing a rocket launcher and a weapons stash under the seat. $999 per day isn't cheap, but it's less than you'd pay for a day with one of the rent-an-exotic shops you see in Los Angeles or New York. If you're not in Tucson or the price is a little too steep, Turo has what it's dubbed the Adrenaline Collection. The name may be hyperbole, but the lineup of cars is actually really solid. A quick glance reveals a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider, and a 1969 Jaguar E-Type. The car list keeps expanding, so if this proves popular, look for more cool stuff in the future.
