1964 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Wake Forest, North Carolina, United States
Car is located in Ft Lauderdale, FL
Numbers Matching, Original 1964 Pontiac GTO 4 Barrel - I have the 3-2 barrel manifold but never converted it because, contrary to popular opinion, the 4 Barrel works better (in my opinion anyway). I bought the car in 2011; prior owner had the car restored and engine rebuilt. Frankly, not the world’s best restoration. Since the time that I have had it have done a “frame on” restoration. While I have made a bunch of modifications, I have all of the original parts; if you’re a stickler you can put it back but take it from me: it is so much better now; pro touring upgrades to suspension and brakes! Generally speaking, completely all original cars are horrible driving cars. This is a great looking car in great shape; it was not built to be a show car; it was built to drive. Everything works except the original radio (didn’t want to take it out of the dash) –I added an amplifier in the trunk so it is iPod ready. Too much to list but I will give it a try: Rebuilt motor (by previous owner); it runs strong and is pretty much stock as far as I can tell 3.08 posi rear Rebuilt original Carter AFB SPC tubular upper control arms, heavy duty ball joints SPC coil springs 550 lbs front, 135 back – whole car is dropped 2-3” Front and rear sway bars Body completely gone over; body gaps and panels all smoothed, straight and repainted R134 Air condition; upgraded compressor, condenser, hoses, blower motor Re-cored the heavy duty radiator Bilstein Shocks all four corners Recondition driver and passenger seats to firm them up Antenna relocated from front to right rear 45 degree with electric motor New starter All bushings replaced – sway bars, control arms, ball joints 4 wheel disc brakes upgrade with dual master cylinder Team III 17x8 “minilite” style wheels; 225/55/17s front, 255/50/17 rear Kumbo Ecsta Custom fabrication of front air scoops – now functional – have original inserts Ram Air Products High Performance Manifolds and Pypes Exhaust Upgraded to 3 speed Turbo 350 transmission – have original 2 speed superglide (3 speed is way better) Added additional water temp and pressure gauge from a ’65 to replace the clock Custom Car Cover $364 Rechromed front and rear bumpers Added vintage vacuum and tach gauges on the center console Petronix electronic ignition with MSD MS6 Receipts for almost everything! |

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package
Sun, Dec 22 2019Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT 30th Anniversary Edition
Mon, May 29 2023With the era of the 1960s-style muscle car ended by the ever-more-stringent emissions regulations, insurance costs and higher gasoline prices of the early 1970s, GM's Pontiac Division was ready with a lineup of flash-enhanced machines packed with (alleged) European-style performance and styling. Three of them were based on the midsize A Platform for 1973: the LeMans, the Grand Prix and the brand-new Grand Am. The 1973 Grand Am was cheaper than the luxed-up Grand Prix, but still had a BMW-ish interior and wild exterior styling; sales weren't great, but the 30th anniversary of this car seemed sufficiently momentous for Pontiac to create a special-edition package for its soon-to-be-axed successor. Here's one of these rare machines, spotted recently in a Denver car graveyard. The original rear-wheel-drive Grand Am was built for the 1973-1975 and 1978-1980 model years, but its similarity to the much cheaper LeMans kept sales numbers unimpressive. When the Grand Am name was revived for a Pontiac-badged compact on the front-drive N Platform in the 1985 model year, however, it became a big seller right away and stayed that way into our current century. The N-Body Grand Am was built through 2005, with platform updates for the 1992 and 1999 model years. Along the way, it was sibling to such cars as the Oldsmobile Calais, Buick Somerset, Chevrolet Beretta and Oldsmobile Alero. By 2003, though, the ground was shifting under Pontiac's feet. The iconic Firebird had been discontinued the previous year, and even the Grand Prix's days were officially numbered. Oldsmobile would be gone after 2004, and the entire Pontiac vehicle lineup would be shaken up soon after. The last year for the Grand Am (and the Sunfire) would be 2005, with the G6 taking its place. With all that going on, why not offer a 30th Anniversary package? After all, the Grand Prix got a 40th Anniversary Edition for 2002. Our reviewer described this car as "leaner, trimmer and more contemporary" at the time, but made no mention of the 30th Anniversary Edition. The VIN says this car is a top-grade GT1 sedan, with an MSRP of $22,325 (that's about $39,920 in 2023 dollars). Two engines were available in the 2003 Grand Am: a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder with 140 horsepower and a 3.4-liter pushrod V6 with either 170 or 175 horsepower. This car has the 175-horse V6, complete with "Ram Air" cold-air induction. That name goes way back in Pontiac history.
Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion
Fri, May 27 2016The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.
