1966 PONTIAC GTO CONVERTIBLE, #'s MATCHING, TRI-POWER, 4-SPEED, PHS DOCS - Occasionally, something rare and desirable comes up for sale on E-Bay, such as this GTO. I am the third owner of this "Goat". We have owned it about 5-years. It has always resided within 30-miles of my home. I have known about the car since about 1976. This is one of the most solid GTOs of this era you will ever find that has not been restored or made into a hot rod. This car retains all of its original body panels. The floors including trunk and the frame are excellent. All of the moldings and emblems are original. The interior including the carpet, door panels, seats, dash, steering wheel, and console, are all very nice. It is hard to believe it is 47-years old! All of the glass is good; the windows roll-up and down well; all gauges, lights, signals, horn, wipers, heater, and radio work properly. The power convertible top is black and looks nice, although the back window is badly yellowed and needs replaced. The top goes up and down fine. The current top was installed in the late 70's. About that same time, the paint color was changed from its original Reef Turquoise to Black. Yes, this Black paint is the same from 1978. Although far from perfect, it is still very presentable "as is". The bumpers are vintage 1966.

The engine is the original #'s matching code WS, 360 HP, 389 ci that it was "born with". It was rebuilt to stock specs with a .040 overbore. It still has its original 093 heads, distributor, and exhaust manifolds. The carbs, air cleaner valve covers are the originals. The 4-speed transmission is correct, but not #'s matching. Original is in-hand, but it needs rebuilt due to a busted tail shaft in the late 70's. The original shifter is still in place and works fine, but is a little stiff (time for rebuild). The rear is original with its 3:55 posi.

The doors, trunk, and hood open and shut very nice and have excellent gaps; door vent chrome is nice. Repainted the trunk floor and installed the new mat. The correct jack is still in place. The exhaust is the original style with quiet mufflers as original. Added the Ralleye I wheels and Coker redlines. Originally, it had whitewalls and poverty caps, which I do not have. This car starts, runs, drives and stops excellent. Please take note - this car has very few options - No power steering or power brakes. Actually, it steers pretty easily and the brakes (rebuilt) work great. There are no unusual noises or rattles when driving this car. It has 94,736 miles which I am sure are original. Although, the second owner doesn't recall, it appears there may have been slight damage to the left fender, probably minor.

If you are seriously interested in this rare "goat", please call me and let's talk. Although, not a show car, it's certainly not anything to be ashamed of. This car can be reliably driven cross-country. Recently, drove it on a 5-hour road trip thru the mountains of WV with no issues. Partial muscle car trades may be considered, or a 1961-1964 Caddy Convertible, but please no rust buckets.

For further inspection, you or a representative may inspect the car on a lift in my shop. Clear title in my name in-hand. PHS docs, original sales invoice, protecto plate, build order sheet, manuals, dated build tags are all in-hand.

GTO's have probably been the most stable automobile investment of all time. They don't get any better than this 1966, tri-power, 4-speed, convertible plus documentation. Safe, dry, indoor storage will be provided for up to 30-days. Full payment is expected within 7-days of auction close. I reserve the right to end auction early. Any questions, please call me at 304-261-1643 - no text please.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
