1966 Pontiac Gto 4 Speed Project Car on 2040-cars
Year:1966
Mileage:100000
Location:
Grand Haven, Michigan, United States
|
Up for bid is a 1966 all metal body GTO project car. I attempted to make this traditionally ill-handling car better by making it act like an IROC. MOTOR: When I bought it, the motor was missing so I put in a 1979 Chevy small block that I totally rebuilt. This motor has EVERYTHING you could want in a street motor and more. The block I found was a 400 Chevy (1979) and the original bore was clean, so I was able to stick new pistons in those holes. Consequently, the motor ends up being an original 400 - - NOT a 406 because it has not been bored. The motor has approximately 60 hours of porting and polishing to the heads, intake, and carbs. The heads are iron. It has a rare Offenhauser X tunnel ram. On this type of intake, the right 4 barrel works the left bank and the left 4 barrel works the right bank. Hot Rod magazine did a dyno power test on this type of intake on a 350 and it produced 495 hp. I have it on the 400 I described above, so the numbers should be a little bigger. The motor has only been run for 20 minutes - - so it is literally brand new. If you need more info on the motor, I can tell you much more, so email me or call me at the number listed below. TRANSMISSION and REAR END: The transmission is a Muncie 4 speed with good synchros and a brand new Mr. Gasket inline shifter. The rear end is 12 bolt posi built by DTS - - it is brand new - - literally, no miles on it. I have $4000 invested in the rear end alone. Richmond 4.10 gears, strain spool, Strange 35 splined axles, seat clip eliminators, and bearing girdle. Also has 4 link with extra 2 link ladder bar with adjustable spring mounts. This means you can lower the rear end to the ground to make the car handle better should you choose to do so. This rear end is necessary for this motor and tranny combo. It will be a head jerker! It is definitely bulletproof!! BODY: Full metal car. I have an extra hood. The 4 barrels fit under the original GTO hood, or you can put the other hood on and the air cleaners fit into the scoops. Body work has been completed. It is straight and looks good. INTERIOR: Original back seat and two new high back Car FX seats for the front. They tilt forward and back and they have high head rests (for that head-jerking that I mentioned). The plan for this interior was lightweight - - I was going to make my own door panels. No carpet, but original carpet would fit in it. HISTORY: I bought this car about 15 years ago as a project car and have worked on it slowly over the years. SHIPPING AND PAYMENT: $500 deposit via PayPal required at auction end. Cash or official bank check required for remaining balance. Buyer is responsible for shipping/transport. Overall, I have $15,000 invested. I am starting the auction at half of that amount, so this is really a steal. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me, or you can call me at 616-842-4026. Ask for Cliff. Good luck bidding!! |

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.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium
Fri, Jun 12 2015Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video Ā riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Sun, Nov 28 2021John DeLorean began his career working on Packard's Ultramatic Twin transmission, but he made his greatest mark on the automotive industry during his 1956-1969 tenure at GM's Pontiac Division. There, he helped develop the first production car engine with a quiet timing belt instead of a noisy chain, among other engineering feats, but his real fame came from the development of two money-printing models based more on marketing than machinery: the GTO and the Grand Prix. While the GTO gets all the attention now, the Grand Prix set the standard for the big-selling personal luxury coupes that sold like mad for decades to come. Today's Junkyard Gem is an example of the most powerful Grand Prix available at the turn of the century, found in a Denver-area self-service yard during the summer. The Grand Prix got front-wheel-drive for 1988 and a sedan version for 1990, but then something very beneficial happened in the 1997 model year: supercharging! Various flavors of the venerable 3.8-liter Buick V6 engine (itself based on the early-1960s Buick 215 V8 and thus cousin to the Rover V8) received Eaton blowers, starting in the 1992 model year. The Grand Prix didn't get its introduction to forced induction until the 1997 model year, but it kept the boosted option until the final Grand Prix rolled off the line in 2008 (the final Pontiac followed within a couple of years). This one made 240 horsepower, making it King of Grand Prix engines until the 2005 model year (when the GXP and its 303-horse V8 engine showed up). The very last year for a Grand Prix with a manual transmission was 1993 (there had been a three-pedal Grand Prix drought from 1973 through 1988, just to put things in perspective), so this car has the mandatory four-speed automatic. The Grand Prix lived on GM's W platform for its last two decades, making it sibling to the Impala, Regal, and Intrigue in 2001. Until the 2004 model year, every W-Body Grand Prix was built at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City (no, theĀ other Kansas City). Production of the final generation of Grand Prix took place in Ontario. It seems fitting that this car's final pre-crusher parking spot would be between two other GM products of the same era: a Monte Carlo and a Vibe.
