1966 Pontiac GTO

Miles:  69,740 (1-4-2014)   

VIN:  242176P240065

Its paint is an aftermarket metallic dark blue.  Date and age of paint is unknown.  I’ve had the car 6 years here in Northern NJ (3 miles from the Lincoln Tunnel).  The car was built in Michigan for a lady in Michigan.  This car has a lot of torque, lots of power and runs on 93 octane gas and burns no oil.

 

Engine is clean.  Lots of new parts added to the car.  It’s a basic and simple strong and reliable car.  Manual steering and manual drum brakes, no leaks from steering or brakes.  

 

The unconfirmed story is that this car was ordered for racing.  PHS documented this as a rare built for a 1966.  The car was ordered with no radio and no heat.  It was ordered with a 389 tri-power Ram Air, Muncie M22, and 4.33 rear gears.  It was a Turquoise blue color interior and exterior.  Years pass and she had a radio and heat installed at the dealership.  Then the car was put in a barn and years later painted, got some other motor, trans, and minor restoration by someone (unknown).  The original engine and trans did not come with the car when I purchased it.

 

The interior is clean and black and in good condition.  The front seats are comfortable and clean but seem to have 1967 seat covers.  The rear seat, the cover is nice but it’s a cover over the seat and really could use some cushion underneath.   

 

The headliner has 2 small holes (thumb size) in the front by the rear view mirror and the rear above the rear seat on the driver’s side but looks good outside of that.  The dash has the standard rally cluster of warning lights and gauges, speedometer, and clock.  Clock, tachometer, and oil pressure needs to be refurbished, it’s not working.  An aftermarket electric temp, after market (mounted on the steering column) tachometer, and electrical oil pressure is installed and working.  The radio is an aftermarket radio designed to fit the dash, dash is not cut up.  The radio works really good and has a connector for an MP3 player or iPod.  All lights work Gen, interior, glove, front, back, reverse, brakes, blinkers, trunk, and lights up when doors are open.  The inside floor is covered with an insulation that is for noise and heat.  The rug is in great shape and is black.  It sits a little off by the shifter but only noticeable if you feel it. 

 

The transmission is a heavy duty build from 5speeds in Florida and is about 4-5 years old.  The trans leaks from 2 places, the shift linkage (o-rings) and the speedo cable connector.  The trans has a fine threading and the cable has the stock coarse threading (I have a new cable, not installed).  Speedo is connected and works.  When cold, getting into first gear requires an extra push from neutral to 1st.  All other gears shift smoothly.  I also put the car in gear (1st or 2nd) before going into reverse, if not, the trans will make noise from the gears.     

 

The body, the car is a 10 footer but as you get closer the paint is old that has nicks, small scratches, and marks.  The lower rear back fenders has been patched above and behind the wheel well.  There’s small chips as expected and areas where the paint does not look so good.  I tried to take a picture but it does not show.  This is not a perfect car.  Rust: small hole by the door jam (see pic) on the passenger side, trunk floor has been replaced (trunk floor was fitted in over the current floor), corner of the hood, on the side (see pic), and a small hole under the gas pedal area (a plate seems to cover the hole).

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition

Tue, Aug 29 2017

The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

Porsche Syberia RS rally car is what you make when you need a Hummer that's fast

Fri, Apr 24 2020

Some history: The Porsche 911's first-ever race was the 1965 Monte Carlo rally, entered because Porsche's PR man at the time wanted to show how much the future icon could do. A year later, Porsche began selling an optional rally kit for the 911 that included Recaro seats, a roll bar, and adjustable Koni dampers. Porsche produced factory rally racers until the early 1970s, winning Monte Carlo three times in a row before letting privateers carry the torch so the factory could focus on campaigning in the East Africa Safari. After years of painful lessons, when Porsche took its brand-new 1978 911 SC to the safari, the 3.0-liter flat-six coupe was hours away from winning the race before damaging the suspension, demoting the car to second place. Porsche fans wanted their own replicas, and finding the new 911 to be an affordable option, the SC — built from 1978 to 1983 — went from denoting "Super Carrera" to "Safari Car."   Porsche took a big step up in with the 953 rally car. Built to win the 1984 Paris-Dakar, which it did, the 953 introduced the four-wheel-drive system Porsche would evolve for the 959 in 1985 and the 964-series 911 in 1989, as well as the now-unforgettable 911-based Rothmans livery. All of this is what's fueling today's 911 Safari Car revival around the world. Almost all of today's builds start with the so-called G Model 911s, produced from 1973 to 1989, usually focusing on the SC and the Carrera that ran from 1984 until 1989.  Fast forward to 2007 when a mysterious crew organized the TransSyberia Rally, a "sports-touring" event that stretched 4,500 miles from Moscow to the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. Of the 34 vehicles that entered, 25 were Porsche's purpose-built Cayenne S Transsyberia Edition.  Put this all in a pot and you have the beginnings of the car that brings us here, the Syberia RS. It's said that a German fellow by the name of Kai Burkhard wanted to buy a Humvee, but the low top speed, around 50 miles per hour, put him off. So instead, he imported a 1986 911 "in collector condition" from Japan with the idea of rebuilding it to provide almost all the off-road fun he could have had in the H1. Burkhard tapped the Tailor Made department at German suspension designer H&R, and the two set to work creating a build like the 953 Dakar winner.  This content is hosted by a third party.
