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.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
