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. Seller has 60 days to remove vehicle after purchase is complete.     Can be delivered locally or taken to a pickup spot in the Portland, Oregon area, as the large auto transporting trucks can not make the turns to get to the location of the GTO.     Reserve is low and based on value of parts replacement.       GOOD LUCK on this GREAT FIND!

GM reintroduces Tripower name in the worst way possible

Wed, Aug 1 2018

The story of General Motors' use of the Tripower moniker begins way back in 1957, when Semon E. "Bunkie" Knudsen, then General Manager of GM's Pontiac division, directed his engineers to inject more performance into his brand's line of V8-powered automobiles. Fuel injection was an option, but hot rodders flocked instead to Tri-Power (marketed way back when with a hyphen), which grafted a trio of two-barrel Rochester carburetors onto a single intake manifold. A legend was born. And that legend was born of performance. At idle and when full power wasn't required, Pontiac's Tri-Power system used just the middle carburetor, which helped make the setup easier to tune. Depending on the year and model, either a vacuum system or a mechanical linkage opened up the two outer carbs, thereby switching from two barrels to six, and allowing the engine to take in more fuel and air. And it was an easy marketing win – six barrels is better than four barrels, right? Because performance! So, when news filtered in that GM has resurrected the Tripower name, those of us who grew up attending classic car shows and wrenching on old Pontiacs did a double-take. And then we all collectively sighed. Turns out that today's Tripower refers to a trio of fuel-saving measures that include cylinder deactivation, active thermal management, and intake valve lift control, according to Automotive News. And, at least for now, it applies to GM's line of fullsize trucks powered by a 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. We're all for saving fuel whenever possible. And we have zero say in how any automaker chooses to market its products and technologies. But, we'll offer our two cents anyway: Relaunching a storied name from the past is fine. Relaunching a storied name from the past while completely overlooking the reasons the name got famous in the first place is only going to irritate the people who remember the name in the first place. Couldn't they just call this new technology package something else?

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky

Sat, Jun 26 2021

The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic.  The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice.  For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
