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. |

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac 6000 LE
Sat, Dec 2 2017Sibling to the Chevrolet Celebrity and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, the Pontiac 6000 sold pretty well during the early-to-middle 1980s, but had been relegated to the dealership bargain bin and fleet-car cul-de-sac by the time of Operation Desert Shield. Here's a final-year-of-manufacture 6000 LE that I photographed in an Arizona self-service wrecking yard. This car was sold new in Arizona, and it will be crushed in the same state, 26 years later. The LE was the cheapest trim level for the 6000 in 1991, but the original purchaser of this car sprang for a few options. For example, instead of the utterly miserable 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, this car packs the 3.1-liter V6. That meant 140 horsepower instead of 110, plus an engine note more like a vacuum cleaner sucking up a spaghetti spill than an ailing blender chewing on walnuts. AM, FM, and cassette. Not only that, but the auto-reverse feature meant that your mixtape cassette wouldn't stop right in the middle of your favorite Roxette tune. This content is hosted by a third party.

Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
