Up for auction is a real (according to all the #'s) 1964 Pontiac GTO. First off, I'm no GTO expert but I do know something about old cars.  I found this car in my own home town from a auto repair owner. He told me it was a real GT0 and was in in storage for the past ten or twelve years. He had the P.H.S on the car but came back with lost microfilm file and a refund check.So they couldn't come up with the original invoice for the car. He let me check and write down all the #'s and I went home to do some homework, and  It looks legit to me, The motor # is 9778789 late 64 eary 65 and the cast date is 1184 = January 18 1964. The four speed M20 Muncie is 3851325. The rear is non posi 3.25 code with cast # 9773369. All in all it looks like the original drive train and the speedo says 66399. It works  right on the money and the mileage meter works too and all the numbers line up straight in a row. I can't say if it's true milage and neither could the old owner but the way it runs and drives its to good for 166,000 if it rolled. Motor purrs like a kitten ,no smoking,knocking or ticking or oil leaking at all and the tranny shifts like butter and no leaks. The rear end is quiet with no noise or humming and no leaks. Exhaust is in great condition  and nothing rotted .Front end is all nice in tight, no pulling , steers strait and the steering wheel is dead center when driving.Thats why I think  it's original milage.Even the interior looks original and its how I got it . All I did was give it a good cleaning and polished some of the chrome.  I painted the carpet with carpet paint to make it look better. It was faded really bad but still in good condition.The floor matts look like the real ones too,in great condition.I reglued the carpet back on the door panels too to make it look nice again. The seats are mint, the console and hurst shifter is in really great shape and everything work as it should including the old under the dash cassette radio with the 6x9's.The Tachometer works fine , the owners manual is still in the glove box , the Jack and spare bias ply tire are still in the trunk also indicating low milage.  All the glass is excellent with no pits ,cracks or chips anywhere.All windows roll up and down and all the locks work with their keys too. The outside chrome is in good condition but the car needs a paint job as pictured.All four hubcaps on the car are in Mint condition and are very hard to find. The body is super solid with on rott that I can see, but it  had some surface rust that I touch up on the back of the car in front of the trunk .  Again the car need paint or drive as/is as you can see. The vinyl top is in excellent condition with no bubbling or tears. All I did was give it a good cleaning and it shines nice. If you paint the car you can leave the top alone to save some money.  So here is  what was done since the goat came out of hibernation. New gas tank and fuel sender was installed with new tank straps and new high test gasoline. All four shocks replaced and both u-joints replaced. Four new 205/75R14 tires  with 10 miles on them. New fuel pump,all fuel hoses and had the original carter 4bl carb rebuilt. The car didn't have the original air cleaner on it. It had a rusty old moroso so I install a new air cleaner on it so it looks presentable. New water pump,hoses,stat,anti freeze and new radiator with cap. Rebuilt starter,new A/C delco battery with new brass terminals. Complete tune up with all A/C parts and spark plugs. New master cylinder,all new wheel cylinders, hoses,lines,shoes and hardware kits. Stops on a dime! I pressure washed the motor,tranny and all of the undercarriage to remove all the old flaking under coating and grease. I stripped down the motor and gave it a complete detailing and polished the original valve covers and installed new gaskets. Changed the oil and filter and  add a zinc supplement to prevent any cam wear. Installed new oil pressure switch and temp switch plus new reverse light switch. The car is mechanically set and with a nice paint job you can have a real beauty. The car comes with a bill of sale and proof of registration only. Ct does not issue titles for car 25 years and older. You should not have any problems getting to car registered in your state with just a bill of sale. Please check with your DMV before bidding!! Any question, please feel free to call Loren at 203 687 0834.  No Trades.No bikes. No tire kickers!

Gordon Murray, F1-driven production and .. the Pontiac Fiero

Tue, Oct 31 2017

Gordon Murray's design and engineering chops are unquestionable. But does his carmaking approach owe something to the short-lived Pontiac Fiero, a scrappy little car program that emerged from GM against serious resistance? Murray had a Formula One career that ran from 1969 to 1991, with stints at Brabham ('69 to '86) and McLaren ('87-'91), that resulted in several shelves' worth of trophies for the cars he was instrumental in designing. He moved on to McLaren Cars, the consumer side of things, where, during his tenure from 1991 to 2004, he helped design the McLaren F1 and the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, two cars that took learnings from his two decades in Formula One. What do all of these cars have in common? Three things: They are light. They were built in limited numbers. And they were (and are) exceedingly expensive—when the McLaren F1 debuted in 1994, it stickered at $815,000. Murray went on to establish Gordon Murray Design in 2007. GMD has created some interesting concept vehicles, such as the diminutive T.25 city car (94.5 inches long, 51.1 inches wide and 55.1 inches high), and the OX, a lightweight truck for the developing world that packs like an IKEA shelf and is working toward realization through a worthy crowdfunding campaign established by the Global Vehicle Trust. Now he has created a vehicle manufacturing company, Gordon Murray Automotive, that will use manufacturing methods that he developed under the moniker "iStream." Unlike a unibody, there are the "iFrame," a cage-like construction made with metallic components, and the "iPanels," which are composite. The panels aren't simply a decorative skin; they actually provide structure to the vehicle. Presumably this has something of the F1 monocoque about it. Going back to the three elements, (1) this arrangement results in a vehicle that can be comparatively light; (2) Murray has indicated that his manufacturing company will be doing limited-run production; and (3) to launch Gordon Murray Automotive they are going to be building a flagship model, about which Murray said, "With our first new car, we will demonstrate a return to the design and engineering principles that have made the McLaren F1 such an icon." Which seems to imply that it will be on the pricey side. According to the company's verbiage, "iStream forges an entirely new production method that defies conventionality with its Formula One-derived construction and materials technologies." It also sounds a whole lot like ...

Why Pontiac should come back and how it can be relevant again

Mon, Apr 17 2017

When I was a kid growing up in Metro Detroit, our family was always entwined in the General Motors empire. My dad and some of our relatives worked for GM in various capacities, and we had our fair share of Chevrolet, GMC, and even Buick products in our humble driveway. However, it was my Uncle Ed that always had a vehicle from the one GM brand that always appealed to me the most: Pontiac. Seeing him pull up in his Pontiac 6000 and later the '90s era Grand Prix sedan that replaced it was always an exciting occasion, and both of these models also reflected the playful spirit that once defined the Pontiac brand. Back when Pontiac first got its performance groove on in the '60s, names such as GTO, Firebird, as well as Bonneville became iconic nameplates in the broader muscle car era. The '80s saw Pontiac lose some of its styling heritage, but also try new things at the same time including turbocharging as well as the mid-engine sports car with the flawed but still sleek Pontiac Fiero. When the Pontiac brand was shuttered in 2009, it was a mere few years after I earned my drivers license, and also when Pontiac was just beginning to regain some of its lost luster. Granted cookie cutter efforts like the Pontiac G3, (Chevrolet Aveo) G5, (Chevrolet Cobalt) and G6 (Chevrolet Malibu) certainly did not help matters during Pontiac's final years on the market, but two models in particular offered a compelling glimpse into what could've been for the storied brand. The first was the Pontiac Solstice roadster/coupe. Originally introduced as a concept back in 2004, and championed by everyone's fighter jet flying auto executive Bob Lutz, the Solstice was designed to be a serious competitor to the Mazda Miata, and while its interior ergonomics were flawed and the top solution not ideal. It proved to be a fun little car to drive, and also a sales success for Pontiac with initial demand exceeding expectations.This was especially due to its lineup of engines with the 2.0 liter LHU turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 260 horsepower in GXP variants. The second and (inarguably my favorite Pontiac model) was the Pontiac G8 sedan. Originating in Australia as the Holden Commodore VE, the G8 was designed to rectify the multitude of sins created by the last generation Bonneville. Front wheel drive was pitched in favor of rear wheel drive, and for the first time in a long time interior ergonomics and cladding free exterior styling were key building blocks for success.

What car brand should come back?

Fri, Apr 7 2017

Congratulations, wishful thinker! You've been granted one wish by the automotive genie or wizard or leprechaun or whoever has been gifted with that magical ability. You get to pick one expired, retired or fired automotive brand and resurrect it from its heavenly peace! But which one? That's a tough decision and not one to be made lightly. As we know from car history, the landscape is littered with failed brands that just didn't have what it took to cut it in the dog-eat-dog world of vehicle design, engineering and marketing. So many to choose from! Because I am not a car historian, I'll leave it to a real expert to present a complete list of history's automotive misses from which you can choose, if you're a stickler about that sort of thing. And since I'm most familiar with post-World War II cars and brands, that's what I'm going to stick to (although Maxwell, Cord and some others could make strong arguments). So, with the parameters established, let's get started, shall we? Hudson: I admit, I really don't know a lot about Hudson, except that stock car drivers apparently did pretty well with them back in the day, and Paul Newman played one in the first Cars movie. But really, isn't that enough to warrant consideration? Frankly, I think the Paul Newman connection is reason enough. What other actor who drove race cars was cooler? James Dean? Steve McQueen? James Garner? Paul Walker? But, I digress. That's a story for another day. Plymouth: As the scion of a Dodge family (my grandfather had a Dodge truck, and my mom had not one, but two Dodge Darts – the rear-wheel-drive ones with slant sixes in them, not the other one they don't make any more), I tend to think of Plymouth as the "poor man's Dodge." But then you have to consider the many Hemi-powered muscle cars sold under the Plymouth brand, such as the Road Runner, the GTX, the Barracuda, and so on. Was there a more affordable muscle car than Plymouth? When you place it in the context of "affordable muscle," Plymouth makes a pretty strong argument for reanimation. Oldsmobile: When I was a teenager, all the cool kids had Oldsmobile Cutlasses, the downsized ones that came out in 1978. At one point, the Olds Cutlass was the hottest selling car in the land, if you can believe that. Then everybody started buying Honda Civics and Accords and Toyota Corollas and Camrys, and you know the rest. But going back farther, there's the 442 – perhaps Olds' finest hour when it came to muscle cars.
