1965 Pontiac GTO For Sale

This car has been in a heated garage since 1999. I have owned for less then a year with initial intentions to restoring it and finishing the restoration that was already started when I purchased it. I have put $1500.00 into the car to get it roadworthy after its long sleep in the last 4 months with anticipation of keeping it. My life path has made new plans for me and I already have a '66 so thats where I'm at...
This car is complete and prior to 1999 the previous owner had done a lot of work and and purchased a lot of new parts from Ames and Year One with intentions of restoring it himself with the help of professionals. It is a perfect restoration candidate. It has low miles and and only a couple of owners. To the best of my knowledge it has been in Utah since new. It starts right up and sounds great. It drives pretty tight like a low mileage car should. It goes through all gears flawlessly. I replaced clutch recently. It stops well. All of the wheel cylinders and rear brake lines replaced. It has new brake shoes on the front and new master cylinder. It has all new shocks and all new springs. Front end rebuilt by previous owners. The wheels and beauty rings / center caps appear to be original. Tires are in good shape, 15 inch. New Gas tank, sending unit and fuel line. Recent tune up and tripower gone through. New battery. It has new mufflers and tailpipes. Heater core replaced and heater works great. Does not overheat. Refurbished orig. radiator.  I have driven this car around town and also have cruised comfortably on highway at 75mph. I have a current Utah inspection.  All lights and signals work nicely. The previous owner told me that while he had it in the '90's the 389 has been rebuilt along with( the 4 speed and posi rear end as well! It appears to be the case when looked over by mechanic. Power steering no power brakes. Includes extra set of tri-power heads...(Stamped 77)

Paint appears to have the original paint on majority of the car with other parts that have been repainted. There are a few misc doinks but nothing major. There is rust in rear quarters and a lil on bottoms of doors but other then that pretty solid.(see Pics) The trunk is solid and the rails and floors are solid. Have not found use of any major bondo repairs. Chrome numbers are straight but oxidized in places. Grill is nice. Doors shut nice and firm with no sag.

Interior is original but carpet has been replaced. It has seat belts. Headliner is near perfect. A couple of misc tears in driver seat. Rear seat is beautiful. New rear speaker assembly. Dash is complete and all gauges work accurately. New glove box insert.** Extra set of near perfect black door panels included without the aftermarket speaker holes cut in them. All Glass is good with no chips. Wipers and pump work good. Wood wheel is in nice shape. Includes all handles, knobs and switches.  Only thing missing is console:(.

I plan on posting specific pictures upon request. Please feel free to contact me directly for additional questions or any concerns. I plan on getting all of the numbers(block,manifold, heads) listed on description on Monday. I am motivated seller but I'm not giving it away. Its a special car and great opportunity to restore. I reserve the right to end auction early and sell locally outside ebay if someone is serious. Car is available for inspection. Located in Salt Lake City.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

Vitruvian Energy crowdfunding to make EEB, a trashy biofuel

Sat, Nov 22 2014

When sewage is treated at a wastewater treatment facility, biosolids are the byproduct. After being separated from the water, biosolids are usually sent to a landfill or incinerated. That doesn't mean that they're without value, however. Vitruvian Energy has created a process to make a usable fuel out of this human waste product, and while the source is pretty gross, it is undeniably abundant, and the results are much cleaner. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon. In a process that Vitruvian Energy claims is energy efficient, biosolids are femented and introduced to a type of bacteria to create PHA plastic. Reacting the PHA with ethanol creates the ethyl-3-ethoxybutyrate (EEB) biofuel. Vitruvian says EEB can be blended up to 20 percent with gasoline or diesel without any engine modifications. This lowers the carbon footprint of the fuel it's blended into, and serves to oxygenate diesel, leading to fewer harmful emissions. EEB can also be made using other organic waste products, such as corn stover, rice straw and distillers grains. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon and isn't subject to the maddening market fluctuations and international politics of fossil fuels. Furthermore, EEB's carbon footprint is 70 percent less than that of fossil fuels. Vitruvian also sees potential for EEB to be used on its own to power vehicles or burned to produce electricity for the grid. So far, Vitruvian Energy has used grants from the California Energy Commission and National Science Foundation to develop EEB, and has tested the fuel in a Pontiac Solstice at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now, Vitruvian is wants to test EEB on a larger scale in the real world in order to prove EEB's viability to interested parties in the wastewater treatment industry. In an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, Vitruvian Energy hopes to raise $200,000 to build a prototype EEB production line and to run a test vehicle for a year on an EEB-diesel blend on the streets of Seattle. Donors can score some interesting perks such as shirts and bumper stickers that say "Get Clean with Poopaline." Learn more about EEB in the video and press release below.

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Pontiac G5 Coupe

Sun, Apr 9 2023

In the grim early days of the Great Recession, the situation at GM's Pontiac Division didn't feel so great but there was some cause for optimism. The Solstice still had a certain glow, the Holden Commodore-based G8 had just arrived, and vehicle shoppers could stride into their local Pontiac showrooms and choose from eight different models bearing the iconic arrowhead badge. Yes, there were still new Torrents and Grand Prix and Vibes for sale in 2008, and of course the Cavalier-twin Sunfire had been replaced by the Cobalt-twin G5 by that time. Here's one of those G5s, found in a Colorado Springs car graveyard. It wasn't long after this car was built that everything went to hell for Pontiac. In April of 2009, GM announced that the Pontiac Division would be "phased out" over the next few years. Just to drive home the point, GM itself filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy five weeks later. GM had already offed Oldsmobile—a marque dating back to 1897, making it nearly 30 years Pontiac's senior—five years earlier, so everybody knew there would be no reprieve in this case. Just to confuse everybody, Pontiac dealers offered a G3-badged Chevy Aveo (aka Daewoo Kalos) to sell alongside the G5 for 2009, but by 2010 there were just two new Pontiac models still standing in the United States: the G6 and the Vibe. Just over 70,000 G5s were sold in the United States during the 2007-2009 model years, making these cars fairly rare. The Cobalt/G5 ignition-switch fiasco of the mid-2010s really hammered their resale value at the time. Sometimes the definition of "Gem" refers to historical value, not the happier kind. Speaking of ignition switches, the key is still in this one. That generally means that a junkyard vehicle is a dealership trade-in or insurance total that couldn't sell at auction. This one is a base model, which listed at $15,675 (about $22,040 in 2023 dollars). The snazzier G5 GT started at $19,850 ($27,911 now) that year. The engine in this car is a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-banger rated at 148 horsepower and 152 pound-feet (the GT got a 2.4 with 171 hp/167 lb-ft). A five-speed manual was standard equipment, but the buyer of this car paid extra for the automatic. GM stuck these little "Mark of Excellence" badges on the fenders of its vehicles starting in 2005, then ditched the idea in 2009. I have vivid memories of this logo from the seatbelt buttons in my parents' 1973 Sportvan Beauville.
