1965 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Wellsville, Pennsylvania, United States
ENGINE: The car came equiped with a 4 barrel carb. In 1996 I bought a completely refurbished tri-power set up, all
invoices are included. The original intake manifold is included in the sale. In 2013 I had the motor proffessionaly
rebuilt by a well known engine builder in my area named Doug Myers. That rebuild included an upgraded Crower Baja
Beast camshaft part # 60915 and the motor slightly bored.The engine produces an estimated 390 horsepower and "runs
perfect." The GTO has traveled only about 500 miles since its engine rebuild. The original exhaust manifolds and
exhaust pipes are included with the sale. Equiped with headers and a custom stainless-steel exhaust system.
DRIVELINE: In 1965, buyers who purchased a GTO with the optional automatic transmission got the two-speed
Powerglide, either shifted on the column or via the floor-mounted shifter in the optional console. The floor
shifter and console were ordered on this car, but after purchase, I opted to upgrade to the more versatile
three-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 transmission. For all of you wondering were I found the 3 speed factory
appearance console shift indicator, the company is called "SHIFT WORKS". At the time of the transmission swap, the
ring and pinon set was upgraded, as well, from the GTO's 3.55:1 ratio to a snappier 3.90 gear set with the
limited-slip Safe-T-Track differential. The original Powerglide transmission is included with the sale.
SUSPENSION AND CHASSIS: The suspension was rebuilt in 1999 and was completely gone through at that time, including
springs, shocks, ball joints and bushings. The rear coil springs feature helper air bags to adjust ride height.
Power steering came with this GTO in 1965. The brakes are power assisted and the booster retains its cadmium plated
finish and single-reservoir master cylinder. The wheels are the optional competition-type steel wheels, with brake
cooling slots otherwise known as the Pontiac Rallye I, with the correct center caps and trim rings in place. Coker
Redline Radial tires were installed in 2010 and still have 11/32 of tread left.
EXTERIOR: The Cameo Ivory finish is in fresh and presentable condition, the car has spent no time on a trailer and
has been driven from time to time during ownership, just like they should be.The paint still shows well. When I
purchased the car In1995, it had some very minor surface rust on the hood scoop, and some minor pitting around the
rear wheel arches. I own a body shop and media blasted the rust away, filling any pits with lead ( no bondo, or
plastic as we call it in our industry) and polyester before repainting the rear quarter panels. All panels are
straight and true. I supplied a video link @ the bottom of the page. The only modifications to the body took place
in the hood scoop. I opened the nostrils in the hood scoop and added a factory Pontiac pan and foam gasket to meet
the underside of the hood, allowing fresh air to funnel directly to the carburetors.
INTERIOR: Inside, the black interior is in completely original condition with only a handful of minor
modifications. The black seat upholstery shows no cracks and has firm padding underneath. The interior door panels
are in fine shape,the grab handles and armrests are a bit worn. The loop pile carpet is in excellent condition, as
is the headliner. The only significant modification is to the original radio. The dash retains the original head
unit, but it's been modified to operate on the FM frequency and features an amplifier. Two coaxial speakers have
been installed in the rear package shelf.

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction
Sat, Sep 9 2023Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale. No bid estimate is available yet. Related Video: Motorsports Chevrolet Ford Pontiac Auctions Automotive History Racing Vehicles Classics
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
