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.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob 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.

The last Pontiac Fiero sold for $90,000 at auction

Thu, Dec 3 2020

On August 16, 1988 the last Pontiac Fiero, a red GT model, rolled off the assembly line at GM's Pontiac Assembly plant located in Pontiac, Michigan. It wasn't just the final Fiero, but the final car to be built at that site. The car was raffled off to one of 1,400 plant employees that would soon have to find jobs elsewhere. Whoever that employee was, they remained faithful to the Fiero and kept it in mint condition for 32 years. Last month, it was finally time to move on. It crossed the block at GAA Auctions in Greensboro, North Carolina where it sold for an astounding $90,000. According to the auction house, that's a new world record. The price no doubt reflected the car's place in history as the last example of GM's 1980s mid-engined sports car. However, it was also showroom-new, with just 582 miles clocked on its 2.8-liter V6. 1988 models were also fitted with an upgraded, Lotus-esque suspension produced for just that one year. In addition, this car, serial number 226402, came with its original build sheet, photos from the assembly line, and a collection of news articles and books. It still wore its pre-delivery plastic on the interior and was fully loaded with automatic transmission. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

You can see the action starting at the 2:50:13 mark in the video above. The Fiero was symbolic of the 1980s and stood out from the standard GM passenger car fare for its mid-engine layout and plastic body panels. In an era when GM often rebadged cars with minimal differences, the Fiero rode on its own unique chassis. It was positioned as one of the defining products for Pontiac, GM's "excitement" brand, but actual performance never quite lived up to its striking looks.  Nevertheless, it garnered a cult following. It's often the basis for (questionable) custom builds mimicking more exotic models like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, thanks to a steel space-frame design that allows body panels to be easily removed. Thankfully, this significant example escaped such a fate and will live on as a reminder of an interesting chapter of automotive history.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Tue, Jun 19 2018

For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.
