Original Factory Hot Rod Muscle Race Restoration Barn Find Vintage V8 4 Speed on 2040-cars
Kelseyville, California, United States

Restorable true 1965 Pontiac GTO. The car was built November 20 1964 at the Fremont plant here in Northern California. It was parked outside in the Central Valley area of Stockton California somewhere around 1973 until just this year. The old goat wears whats left of the original paint which is Nightwatch Blue (E code). The motor thats in it is not the original 389 4 barrell but a Pontiac 350 from a Firebird, and it is frozen. The rest of the car looks to be complete and totally original including the clutch set up, 4 speed and rear end. The car suffered a large tree dropping leaves all over it for the last 40 years which eventually rusted out the A pillars and around the windshield and back glass. The rest of the car as far as rust issues is what you would expect of a Northern California car - Frame Inner Fenders Rockers Doors are all good - minor rust at the floor pan, right quarter and trunk. I purchased the car recently with plans to leave it as is. I would install a cage, monster running gear and run it. Those plans are still in place but it is a real 65 GTO and after getting it back into my shop I realized it could be restored. I figured I would give you folks a chance to save it before I start the project. I can always find a Tempest or Lemans down the road for my "Rusty Relic Racing" idea it doesnt have to be the real deal. Reserve is set at what I have into the car down to the penny, if reserve is not met the cars mine. Clear California title in my name in hand - Car is currently licensed and registered in California.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition
Tue, Aug 29 2017The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob 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.
