1965 Gto 2 Door Hardtop, Orig. Rusty Car - Running/driving W/ Extra Gto Parts! on 2040-cars
Watseka, Illinois, United States
|
For Sale: 1965 Pontiac GTO 2-Door Hardtop and body parts. This is an original two-owner car, it is running and driving, and comes with numerous rust-free body parts (from another real GTO) to complete a partial or full restoration if desired. Car is now black with a partial black vinyl top and with a black interior. Originally it was charcoal blue (kind of a teal color, see it on the firewall near data plate picture), with brown vinyl top and black interior. It was a 389 V8 with tri-power and an automatic 2 speed – now it has a GM crate motor (300 hp edition) with 3 speed 350 trans (from the late 1990s). It also has new, full dual exhaust that is fairly new with Trans Am dual tailpipes. Most lights and accessories work on the car. Car has 98,000 original miles on it, motor and trans have an estimated 35,000 miles. Car and a ton of parts are selling without reserve for a fair price while the it is located in Central Illinois (rural setting, zip 60970) and the car comes with all the parts mentioned below.***** This GTO’s body is rusty – pretty much every panel, except the hood, should be replaced or restored. Sills, door posts, around windows, and cowl are solid, as is the frame (can't warrant this, but various folks and mechanics have been under it). INCLUDED with the car are (2) red 65 GTO doors (rust free, from another 65 GTO Hardtop Coupe) with glass and trim on these doors, (2) white front fenders (rust free, from a 65 Tempest) so small trim holes on these fenders would need to be filled, (2) rear quarter window glass pieces with chrome and seals, (1) full trunk lid in red (rust free, from another GTO with GTO emblem), (1) additional tinted front window (original 65 GTO) in great shape (car’s current window is not cracked or bad), an Edelbrock 1901 - 4 barrel carb (would need to be redone), and the bezel for the console around the shifer (original piece) along with the original GTO emblem from passenger quarter panel. Hood seems able to be saved, but quarter panels would have to be replaced or patched (these are available). Frame on the car is good, as are the cross members, although the trunk floor is shot and the inside floor in front of both seats is shot (that is why seats are tipped, although useable). Vinyl top on car is shot, there is rust on the roof, and the roof has some small holes here and there that would need to be repaired, but are repairable. Dash is complete, but does have some rust areas. Car also has had some speakers installed in the doors, some aftermarket gauges under the dash (some work), and some plastic sport mirrors on the doors. Car has vintage racing rims (magnesium) A F/X’s on it with more recent raised white letter tires (Cooper tires, Cobras...), brakes and lines have been serviced, motor was tuned, and all fluids changed along with tranny service (filter, fluid, modulator etc…). Engine also has a new fuel pump and gasket, new fuel filter and spark plugs, and timing was set. When the motor was purchased, the GM engine (without intake and gasket) was right at $2100, today this same motor at GM is over $3400 new cost. Although not the best looking, the car runs and drives very nice and is quite fast, engine is in good shape with good compression and tranny shifts fine.***** Not included with the car is the portable gas tank that I am running the car on here at our farm (original tank is under car, but has damage and corrosion) and the battery as I borrowed it from another car. Currently the car is running a Quadrajet on an Edelbrock intake; I would recommend a change as the choke on the carb is not working and the carb base doesn’t fit the best on the intake – although it does work and run. Glass and chrome on the car are good and can be restored if desired. I really like the stance of this car and how it sits, and when warmed up, it will jerk your head. I planned on restoring it, but have had it stored without any progress toward redoing it. Current motor was purchased and installed by the original owner at a GM dealer near Oak Lawn, IL (Chicago area), car has been an Illinois car all its life as the original owner purchased it in Chicago, drove it to work, raced it on weekends (blew up the 389 in the 1980s), and then stored it until putting the 350 in it to drive it to work again. I have had the car a number of years in storage since purchasing it. Car does have mounts to hook a tow bar to the front for racing and has a hitch in the back. ***** Data Plate information (this is a real one): VIN: 237375K143304 08A 6455 ST 65-23737 KAN 20240 FR 213 B-6 2LGP 3C 5BN Car and parts are selling here on eBay with no reserve (no warranty, no guarantee, no return, and selling as is and as shown). I don’t have it for sale locally and won’t do so locally till Spring here if it does not sell. Title is clear, I just recently turned it in from the original owner to get it put in my name, so I will guarantee and receipt that I will provide good title for the car - when it is received back from the State I will forward it by registered mail or if back by end of sale, will simply sign off on it and hand it to new owner. I understand today (Friday 1/30/14) from the Sec. of State office that my GTO title was sent by the state on 1/29 of this week in route to me, so it should be arriving here during this listing and will be able to be signed off and handed to buyer. Deposit by Paypal of $1000 within three days of sale’s end, balance to be paid by either cash at pickup or by bank wire transfer prior to coming for the car (call for bank name, bank contact, and account/routing numbers) within two weeks after depositing. I will receipt new owner for each step in the payment process. If not picking up and paying within two weeks, car and parts can stay stored here for 30 days at no cost as long as it is fully paid for (bank wire option). This vehicle should be trailered, along with the parts, as I have not driven it long distance – I have gone maybe an hour each way with it running/driving. Car is located in Watseka, IL (zip 60970) and it is about 1.5 hours south of Chicago, IL and about 15 miles west of the Illinois and Indiana state line - located in a rural area - easily loading. Car is able to drive up on a transport or trailer, can also be put on a trailer with equipment here at the farm - no charge. If sending a transport, I can assist with loading and logistics here at no charge, shipping itself and all arrangements are at buyer's expense and time. NOTE: I cannot meet the new owner or a transport from 2/19/14 Wed through 2/25/14 Tuesday as I am out of state at a meeting - I also cannot meet on Saturday 3/1/14 for the same reason - all other times are fine, call ahead of coming! After 30 days, I will be unable to return the deposit funds, however, I will return the rest of the funds. I am just looking to find a new owner for this muscle car that deserves some attention! Please feel free to contact me with questions, come personally or send someone to look at and try the car if needed, or contact me with any other needs.***** |

GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes
Sat, Jun 20 2015General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.
GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns
Thu, May 15 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.
Sell Your Own: 2006 Pontiac GTO

In the early '60s, Baby Boomers born immediately after World War II were beginning to buy cars and enjoy their own distinctive music. This wasn't yet the drug culture; rather, it was the drag culture, more Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" than Beatles "Lucy In The Sky." And a Baby Boomer's desired ride, more often than not, was Pontiac's GTO. Introduced as a manned-up option for Pontiac's compact Tempest, the early GTO was 389 cubic inches of romp and stomp. And with a marketing campaign that hit Middle America via what it watched and ate (TV ads and cereal-box promos were a big part of the GTO launch), there was no escaping it. Like most performance coupes and convertibles, 10 years later it was became an emasculated version of its once lusty self. And then it was gone. Its revival, championed by General Motors executive Bob Lutz, was not by any stretch the Second Coming. Starting in 2004, GM modified its Australian-built Holden Monaro to approximate the excitement of the original formula: a coupe body propelled by a big V8. But the Holden's sheetmetal was quietly styled, and even the 400 horsepower available by 2006 didn't electrify buyers. With hindsight, the resurrected GTO is enjoying more attention and, slowly but surely, increasing in value. This for-sale example shows well, enjoys low mileage, and is – naturally – priced well above what is perceived to be its market value. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
