1966 Pontiac Gto 2dr Hardtop, 4 Speed Manual, Rare Bw Code Exterior Color on 2040-cars
Gresham, Oregon, United States
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.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
GM Recalls 1.5 Million Cars For Steering Defect
Tue, Apr 1 2014General Motors Co. said Monday it is recalling 1.5 million vehicles worldwide because the electronic power-steering assist can suddenly stop working, making them harder to steer. The new recall brings to 6.3 million the number of vehicles GM has recalled since February. The initial recall - now at 2.6 million small cars for an ignition switch defect - prompted the automaker to name a new safety chief and speed up the review of cases that might lead to recalls. GM said it expects recall-related costs to total $750 million in the first quarter, including $300 million for the ignition switch recall. Included in the new recall are: - Chevrolet Malibu from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006, 2008 and 2009 model-year cars. - Chevrolet Malibu Maxx from the 2004-2005 model years, plus some 2006 model-year cars. - Chevrolet HHR from the 2009-2010 model years (non-turbocharged only). - Some Chevrolet Cobalts from the 2010 model year. - Some Saturn Auras from the 2008-2009 model years. - Saturn Ion from the 2004-2007 model years. - Pontiac G6 from the 2005 model year, plus some cars from the 2006, 2008 and 2009 model years. - Service parts installed into certain vehicles before May 31, 2010, under a previous recall GM says no deaths related to the defect have been reported. It is still investigating whether there have been any accidents or injuries related to the problem. GM dealers will replace the power steering motor and other parts for free. Spokesman Alan Adler said owners will be notified of the recall the week of April 28 and will be told when parts are available after that. The Cobalt and the Ion, which are also involved in the ignition switch recall, share many common parts.GM recalled Cobalts from the 2005-2010 model years for the power steering defect in 2010, but it's unclear why the company didn't recall the Ion at the same time. Federal regulators also opened an investigation into power steering complaints in the Ion in 2010, but didn't order a recall.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
