1964 Pontiac GTO Convertible

National GTOAA 1996 Second Place Show Winner in popular vote class for '64-'65 convertibles.

Sapphire Blue with parchment white interior and white top.

Colorado car always (15-20% humidity annually); built in Kansas City GM plant and sold at Denver dealership in 1964.

Matching numbers 389 Carter four barrel engine disassembled ready for rebuild; extra 389 included for spare parts if necessary; 1970 400ci four barrrel presently in car. Three speed 400 turbo hydromatic automatic tansmission.

Frame up restoration done in 1996, undercarriage completely sand blasted and zinc chromate coated.

Immaculate body work with zero rust.

Paint is 1992 GM Sapphire Blue; it is in great shape and is very close to the original midnight blue. It could be changed to original color with no body work and only minor prep work if desired.

All the paint in the interior was formulated to be completely original because we were able to find samples from the dashboard and convertible top frame that had not been faded by sunlight.

The interior has been completely restored with parchment white vinyl. The original vinyl was blue. All seat frames were disassembled and zinc chromate coated then reassembled with new springs and padding.

A/C works

All engine compartment, interior and dashboard wiring has been done to completely original concourse condition.

Factory optional wood steering wheel; I have the original steering wheel also.

Power brakes have been updated to dual master cylinder and disc brakes in front with stainless steel brake lines throughout. I have all the original front brake parts and master cylinder.

Power steering has been converted to a close ratio that takes 2.5 turns, lock to lock, rather than the original 4.5 turns. This was done by the company that did all the steering box gearing for NASCAR/Winston Cup at the time. They only did about five percent of their business with the general public like me. The steering box looks no different than stock. It drives and handles great!

The fifteen year old restoration shows only slight wear. This is an above average car. The brake and steering modifications make it very drivable. It could be made into concourse condition without a great deal of work.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
