This GTO will make a new owner interested in restoring it to its natural beauty is certainly a worthwhile Project.       It began its life in Fremont California and was sold by a Pontiac Dealer in San Francisco.      Copies of the PHS Documents accompany this sale.        It appears to have lived its life on the West coast as it still has the California Black license plate.      Car is presently in Portland Oregon.      I have only seen one 1966 GTO with the Color code BW which is a Dark Blue Charcoal lower portion and a Platinum upper color.     The elegance of that color is like looking at a Rolls-Royce which uses a lot of the dark/light combinations.        After seeing it on a GTO for the first time, I immediately became a fan.     Over the years, this GTO,  has been rode hard and put away wet, so to speak, by a bunch of dreamers.     I purchased the car out of Western Washington which is hot and dry climate, though I do not know how long it was there.       My reason for buying it was to part it out for my other projects, seeing as how it was t-boned in the passenger side rear.         After reviewing the the total car, I do not feel it is a candidate for destruction.      I have talked to several auto body guys and they agree that it can be readily repaired without using a quarter panel or a donor body.     The GTO has solid floors including the trunk.      The Frame is solid and has light surface rust in expected areas.         The T-boned right frame rail extension will need straightened or replaced.    The tail light housings are still good and possibly both the lens are good , one for sure, but right side grill covering lens is toast.      

The Hood, passenger fender, doors, all glass, bumper, most chrome pieces, grills, header panel, core support, inner fender wells, head light housings and bezels, roof section, driver rear quarter, major frame rails, cowl section, steering wheel chrome, rear end, front bumper, gas tank are all good usable parts, plus many more not mentioned, considering the age of most of those items.    Note the passenger door main window is missing, the the internal working parts are all intact.      

Originally the GTO came with options that have been removed or replaced.    The passenger reclining seat, Rally wheels, 3;55 safe-track rear end ( now has a 3:25) (not sure about safety track working), radio, speakers, original WT motor and 4 speed transmission are not there.  Presently has a non original Pontiac V 8 motor with a automatic transmission that is dropped in the slot.     Have no history on motor or transmission, and assume they do not run.         The manual pedals are still in place.     All of those missing items are available to purchase in most cases.     Might take some doing to get a reclining passenger seat.        The Drivers fender is toast.      A portion of the rear window side piece has been removed as shown in the pictures and I do not have a clue.        Needs to be repaired. 

Those of you that are interested, and have questions, may contact me either through this posting or call me 360-773-3887 ask for RD.
Please do not bid if you do not intend to purchase this GTO.        GTO sold as is, where is and seller will assist in loading when picked up.

Junkyard Gem: 1964 Pontiac Catalina Custom Ventura

Mon, May 22 2023

Like Impala, Skylark, Malibu and Silverado (among many others), the Ventura name began its career as the designation for a trim level or option package used on another GM model, then became a model name in its own right. Initially a designation for a snazzed-up Pontiac Catalina two- or four-door hardtop, the Ventura name moved over to a Pontiac-ized version of the Chevy Nova for 1971. Today's Junkyard Gem, found in a Northern California car graveyard, proudly bears both Catalina and Ventura badging. Actually, the Catalina name itself started out as a trim level for the Chieftain and Star Chief models of the 1950s, just to confuse everybody. By the time this car was built, the Catalina was the cheapest of four Pontiac models built on the same full-size B-Body platform as the big Chevrolets and Olds 88s of the time (the Star Chief, Bonneville and Grand Prix ranked above it on the 1964 Pontiac Prestige-O-Meter). The 1964 Catalina four-door hardtop with the Custom Ventura package offered a lot of swank per dollar, with a price starting at $3,063. That's about $29,821 when converted to inflated 2023 dollars. The main benefit of the Custom Ventura package was an interior done up entirely in Morrokide upholstery. Morrokide was the name GM applied to Naugahyde fake leather when used in Pontiac vehicles; when used in Buicks, it was known as Cordaveen, while Oldsmobile Naugahyde was called Morocceen. Naugahyde took its name from the town of Naugatuck, Connecticut, where it was invented. This car's Morrokide is in rough shape. In fact, everything about this car is decayed and probably infectious. You know to be careful when a junkyard car has warnings about rat feces inked on the glass. That said, I couldn't resist examining the 8-track tapes that littered the interior. Here's Hotel California, the 1976 hit album by the Eagles. Supertramp's Paris, a live album recorded from the 1979 Breakfast in America tour, is here as well. Here's The Best of Carly Simon, from 1975. The tapes were played on this Sparkomatic player, which probably lived in the glovebox or under the seat. The factory radio was AM-only, and includes the frequency markings for the atomic-attack CONELRAD emergency frequencies. 1964 was the last year for mandatory CONELRAD radios in the United States.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

Porsche Sports Car Together Fest is a labor of many Porsche loves

Sat, Sep 17 2022

Over Labor Day Weekend, Porsche held its second annual Sports Car Together Fest (SCTF) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We happened to be nearby, so we swung by to check out an event we’d never heard of until a few weeks before. Reading about it on Porsche's U.S. web site made us think it would be something like Rennsport Reunion for the Midwest. Turns out SCTF is just as much of a different kind of fun. The fest Tom MooreÂ’s the man behind Dark Horse Motorsports, the motorsport consultant for Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) PR. "People love Rennsport Reunion, but thatÂ’s every three to four years," he explained. “We wanted to gather people on those off years, and we didn't want to just do a mini Rennsport, because thatÂ’s its own thing. WeÂ’ve maintained the motorsport history at Rennsport. Here [at SCTF], we're doing the current look at what Porsche racing is for." In this case, that means gathering what Moore called "our Porsche motorsport pyramid." ThatÂ’s the range of enthusiast drivers from novice to hotshoes trying to get to top-tier endurance racing, "[starting] with the progression from Porsche Club of America track days up to the top of the ladder of one-make racing in North America," the Carrera Cup North America, a series made up of nothing but the latest 500-horsepower 911 GT3 Cup cars.  The three days of racing action allowed almost any kind of Porsche owner interested in clipping apexes to compete around an Indianapolis Motor Speedway layout tweaked with an infield section. This year, that included ex-NASCAR star Jeff Gordon, coming out of retirement to reunite with his longtime NASCAR crew chief Ray Evernham for the top-class Cup races.  Evernham told us Gordon hasnÂ’t raced in five years and he hasnÂ’t been a crew chief in 22. On very short practice, Gordon finished in 14th in the Pro Class in the first Carrera Cup race of the weekend driving the #24 Hendrick Performance Group Porsche, and 11th in the second race. Afterward, he said, "I made a pass on the white flag lap. That made my whole weekend Â… I must say that yesterday, I thought ‘man, I am getting beat out hereÂ’ and I donÂ’t like that. If I am going to be in an environment like this, I want to be competitive. But today turned the corner for me. So, I hope I get to do another one day."  When we strolled the paddock after the event, exposed sheet metal proved "Rubbing is racing" is a thing in the Carrera Cup as well as NASCAR.
