1969 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Collison, Illinois, United States
Rear End: New Moser posi-traction unit with 3.73 rear gears.
Engine: Stock LS2 straight from the 2006 GTO. The only modifications are a cold air intake, full length headers and a dyno tune. I believe it was 376 RWHP. That translates to 450HP at the crank.
Transmission: Stock T56-6 spd straight out of the 2006 GTO.
Suspension: I just had installed a 69 GTO complete power steering setup, with heavy duty sway bar.
All new adjustable shocks with Eibach springs were installed front and rear. The wheels are American racing rims with new Hankook tires.
Body:
Metallic Pepper Grey paint job. The front bumper was just repainted a shade a little darker the body, with a hood stripe down the center, the same color as the bumper.
The inside of the car was rhino lined along with the bottom to prevent any corrosion.
Interior:
The 06 dash was heavily modified then recovered. It has the original power front 06 GTO black leather seats. The rear seats were modified and recovered in new factory black leather to match the front. A custom rear deck was installed with the working 3rd brake light from the 06. Custom rearview, interior door handles and dome light were milled from aluminum. Door panels, rear panels, kick panels, and headliner were made from scratch.

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
