Up for auction is a 1964 Pontiac GTO Street Rod, it started life as a Lemans, but anyone that knows their' Pontiacs, knows that in 64 GTO was only a Lemans option and consisted of mainly emblems and a larger V-8 and hood. Other than that the entire body is identical, which changed in later years, so all it needed was a hood, and emblems. Of course for the purists this car would not suffice, but I am not a purist and if you are this car is not for you. I am a Pontiac lover and Pontaic performance enthusiast and if you are , then you will find no better, this car took me 5 years to build, scrimping and saving, and used the best of the best, from the best Pontiac performance builders in the country. It has 580 miles on entire restoration that is 2 years old, garage kept, never seen a drop of rain. It started life as a very clean Lemans, the entire car was dissasembled, basically a frame off, and every panel was blasted and/or paint removed, every bolt removed and replaced, most with stainless steel, the rockers, fenders, doors, trunk, bumpers are all original and rust free, The quarters had a little rust around the wheel wells so we installed brand new full quarters,to factory seams, instead of patching. If you know 64 GTO's NOS hoods are very rare and no repros were mfg. so the hood is glass.We sprayed the entire car with epoxy primer, block sanded, shot the interior with semi gloss trim black and 3 stage exterior in a 2008 Lexus Brandywine Mica color, sanded and polished.The paint is pretty much pristine,except for a few fish eyes that could probably use a little massaging.The bumpers are all original with original chrome in nice shape. All the stainless trim and grills are original and reworked, polished and painted by Paul's Chrome, except the windshiled trim is new repro. The interior consists of real nice original door panels, seats are reupholsterd original frames with 1965 GTO pattern, I know, not year correct but I liked the arrowhead pattern better, and new Ames black rug. The dash is new, gauge cluster is a John Covan carbon fiber deal with Auto Meter Cobalt, Speedo, Tach, Fuel, Water, Oil, Volts, special edition Grant wheel mounted to a tilt Ididit column, Blaupunkt CD 33 100 amp head unit, Kenwood kick panel and rear deck 4 way speakers, with a trunk mounted Kenwood 350 watt amp. Now to the motor, the block is a 1970 455 filled block, drilled with splayed 4 bolt caps, bored and stroked to 474 cubic inch, fully balanced rotating assembly by Kauffman Racing wih all Crower components,oiling is handled by a Milodon Deep Sump Unit, pump is a Melling Kaufman unit pumping Rotella T 15/40 diesel oil, the cam is a mechanical solid unit custom grind by Jeff Kaufman with 607 lift with 1.65 stainless steel roller rockers and full lifter bracing, heads are Kaufman Aluminum High Port units that flow 320, intake is a port matched and opened up for the high ports, rare,original Doug Nash unit. Carburetion is a 950 cfm HP by Quick Fuel with custom jetting. Exhaust is Dougs Round Port Headers with aluminum coating, Doug's Electronic Exhaust Dumps to instantly open the headers, entire exhaust out the rear is 3"stainless steel system by Pypes with X Pipe and Race Pro mufflers. Brand New stock fuel Tank with Jegs Weld On Sump and Earls Stainless Steel ball style shut off valves. Fuel pump is a Robb MC Billet 1100 HP mechanical pump with an electric back up dual stainless steel lined set-up and Robb MC Billet Fuel Filter. Coolant is handled by CSR Electric Water Pump and dual Camaro LT1 Electric Fans.Sparking is handled by Mallory HyFire VI and Accel DFI Coil, NGK spark plugs. Drivetrain consists of a Lakewood Explosion Proof Block Saver and Scatter Shield Bell Housing, Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch powering an original tried and true (not a Richmond repro) beefed up Doug Nash 5 speed transmission, all new driveshaft and TRW universals, Lakewood Driveshaft Loop, 9" Ford Rear custom made by Spraker Racing with 3.25 gears, full posi and heavy, thick splined axles. Transmission gearing pretty much has the car in 4.11 ratio from 1st to 4th and 3.25 in 5th for an overdrive effect. Braking is Classic Performance all stainless steel drilled and slotted discs front and rear, with all stainless steel brake lines front to back and new dual master cylinder power unit., all new control arm bushings, ball joints, steering linkage. Wheels are 16"aluminum Centerline Dagger wheels, front tires are Kuyhmo Ecsta 225/55-16 fronts, Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials 255/50-16 on rear ( a must to try to keep it glued to the street) with all custom lowering spings and Air Lift bags for a nice low stance. This motor has not been dynoed, but a fellow Pontiac friend has pretty much the same set-up and he dynoed 607 HP, and let me tell you, it sure as hell feels like it, the motor comes out to be 11.5 to 1 compression ratio and will run with Premium Pump Fuel, although I mix in 110 Octane VP . There's probably more I'm forgetting, it's been a long road, I've used the best of the best to build this car and hate to sell it but can't afford to keep more than one and I have a new project going. I have well over $35,000 invested in this car and thats not including my labor, it's a head turner no matter where it goes, wins trophies at every show, never been to the track so hasn't been pounded, it's still fresh and ready to go. The only con I can give with this car is the few fish eyes I mentioned in the paint and the trunk leaks abt. a cup of water water when you wash the car, so you must remove the mat and wipe it dry during every wash, just never had time to track down the leak, maybe the weatherstrip was installed incorrectly, other than that pristine. If you decide to bid on my car, you won't be dissapointed, and good luck.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
