PLEASE READ FIRST.....

     I really do not want to get ride of this car, but I just do not have anymore time for it and it has been sitting in my garage since the summer. I started a paint project back in April but never had the time to finish so the whole car is sanded, needs a paint job. It is a project car and could use some attention. I pulled the motor and rebuilt it, replacing nearly every gasket, seal, bearing, etc...I have tons of pictures of my work and kept almost every receipt of what I bought for it. The body has about 120K on it but the rebuilt motor has about 10K. I replaced the gauge cluster about a year ago so the mileage is off (reads about 138K). I got it tuned last year by Race Proven Motorsports in DE and it made 405rwhp (I have the paperwork to prove it). Recently, the idle has been acting up a little and when driving on the highway it seems to hesitate, could maybe use a retune. This car has been my life since I bought it, but I am getting older and need the money for other things. I have kept up with maintenance changing the oil (Mobil 1 synth) every 2500 miles. Here are all the specs on the car:

EXTERIOR

- TSP True Dual 3" to 2.5" custom exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers (pictures included)
- Pacesetter long tube headers that were ceramic coated 2 years ago. 
- 295/45/17 Mickey Thompson Drag Radials in the rear
- 10.5"X17 Torque Thrust Wheels by American Racing in rear, knock off brand in front
- BMR Torque Arm Red powdercoated
- BMR lower control arms
- Bilstein rear shocks
- BMR front sway bar
- Sphoon solid Motor Mounts
- Stock Rear Axle with reinforced differential cover

INTERIOR

- Corbeau Sport Seats
- Aftermarket sound system (Pioneer speakers in front, Alpine 6X10 in rear, JVC 10" Subwoofer, 600 Watt Amp)
- The interior was originally gray but I repainted and converted every panel to black.
- MGW short shifter
- White faced gauges
- A pillar gauge housing with Oil Pressure and Oil Temp gauge

MOTOR

- 5.7L LS1 Aluminum block (rebuilt, hot tanked)
- TSP 233/239 camshaft with 114lsa
- LS7 Lifters
- Comp Cams 7.4" Pushrods
- SLP high flow oil pump
- FAST 92mm throttle body 
- FAST 92mm Intake manifold
- Casting #799 Aluminum heads

TRANSMISSION/CLUTCH

- Rebuilt T-56 (rebuilt about a year ago by Gold Seal Transmission in Ramsey, NJ)
- 6 puck clutch by F1 Racing 
- New clutch master cylinder 
- New slave cylinder 

This car is a ton of fun and I want to see it in good hands! I don't really want to give it up but I need the money on other things right now. I would like to see what kind of offers I can get considering it needs a paint job and another tune possibly. It is probably a simple fix but I don't have the time to be messing around with it.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag

Wed, Feb 20 2019

Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."

The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction

Sat, Apr 4 2020

Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction.  As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country.  In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals.  This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer.  The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information.
