1967 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Salisbury, North Carolina, United States
|
I purchased this car to fulfill one of my dreams. I always wanted one and I have enjoyed working on it and driving it. But I also have a growing family and will need to buy a larger house. So, I need to turn this car into some cash. I will be listing this locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction if I find a buyer. The Good: This is a solid, complete, virtually rust free car. The numbers matching 400 runs smooth and strong. It has a new Edelbrock 600 CFM electric choke carb. I also have a holley double pumper no choke that will go with the car. The TH400 transmission is not numbers matching, but period correct, and it shifts great also. I believe it has a 3.55 rear end which is not original to the car. It has a new aluminum radiator and runs reliably cool. I also have the original Harrison radiator to go with the car as well. Much of the work I have done to the car was to improve reliability and safety. First, I replaced the lap belts in the front with a 3 point retractables and put lap belts in the rear, all with period correct GM buckles. I replaced the 4 drums with power disk brakes on all corners. It stops like a new car, maybe better. I also rewired the car with an American Autowire Power 20 kit. At the same time, I added power door locks, a viper alarm, keyless entry, and remote start system, and power trunk release. The door locks are centrallized, meaning there are no switches. When you move one door stopper, the other moves with it. I could not bring myself to cut the door panels to add switches. I also added a Retrosound radio with USB (USB is in the glove box) and Polk Audio speakers all around. The rear 6x9s fit in the back deck and new custom kick panels hold 6 1/2s up front. I slightly relocated the parking brake to keep it functional with the new speakers. I still have the original kick panels if you want to take them out. Dakota Digital analog VHX gauges in the cluster are new and very nice and clean. While rewiring the car, I also put in a new battery, a 140 amp one wire alternator, and replaced the starter with high performance guts. This is a factory AC car, but the AC is not hooked up. There is a134A compressor on the car, but I did not make it that far. And now I never will. It looks new, but it is untested. Everything else electrically works as it should. I also have a brand new semi custom car cover to go along with it and some miscellaneous parts, such as an extra fan and fan clutch in case you want to swap out the flex fan. The interior shows very well with no rips or tears in the seats, panels, or carpet. It may not be perfect, but it is very good. The paint is good but not excellent. My goal was eventually to put a very high quality paint job on this car, but never made it that far. I would say this car is a 10 footer. American Racing wheels and the tires have about 65% tread left. The car also has air shocks in the rear. This is a very good and smooth riding car that goes and stops well. The Bad: This is an original vinyl top car. There are some small spots starting to form under the top. They are not growing in size as the top is still sealed fairly well, but it will probably need to be replaced soon. The Ugly: The headliner needs some work. I replaced the old smelly insulation in the roof with some foil type insulation from a hardware store. It keeps the heat down and got rid of the old car smell, but I did not do a professional job replacing the headliner. It is there and complete so maybe someone could do a better job than me. Headliners are not that expensive anyway, just not at the top of my list. The mileage on the car is unknown. It showed 6700 miles on the odometer when I purchased it and that is what I loaded in the DD gauges when I powered them up. It has about 7400 or so miles now. The hood does not close fully at the back. It may need new hinges or just an adjustment, not sure I also have the 67 Pontiac Service Manual and PHS documentation to go along with the car. I am sure there are other miscellaneous items as well that I am forgetting to mention. I have more pictures and can answer questions upon request. |

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
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.
This or That: 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 vs. 1984 Pontiac Fiero
Tue, Feb 10 2015Welcome to another round of This or That, where two Autoblog editors pick a topic, pick a side and pull no punches. Last round pitted yours truly against Associate Editor Brandon Turkus, and my chosen VW Vanagon Syncro narrowly defeated Brandon's 1987 Land Rover. In fact, it was, by far, the closest round we've seen, with 1,907 voters seeing things my way (for 50.8 percent of the vote) versus 1,848 votes for Brandon's Rover (49.2 percent). Sweet, sweet victory! For this latest round of This or That, I've roped Editor Greg Migliore into what I think is a rather fun debate. We've each chosen our favorite terrible cars, setting a price limit of $10,000 to make sure neither of us went too crazy with our automotive atrocities. I think we've both chosen terribly... and I mean that in the best way possible. 2005 Chrysler Crossfire SRT6 Jeremy Korzeniewski: Why It's Terrible: Taken in isolation, the Chrysler Crossfire isn't necessarily a terrible car. In fact, it drives pretty darn well, and there's a lot of solid engineering under its slinky shape. Problem is, that engineering was already rather long in the tooth well before Chrysler ever got its hands on it, having come from Mercedes-Benz, which used the basic chassis and drivetrain in a previous version of its SLK coupe and roadster. Granted, the SLK was an okay car, too, but even when new, it hardly set the world on fire with sporty driving dynamics. Chrysler took these decent-but-no-more bits and pieces from the Mercedes parts bin – remember, this car was conceived in the disastrous Merger Of Equals days – and covered them with a rather attractive hard-candy shell. Unfortunately, the super sporty shape wrote checks in the minds of buyers that its well-worn mechanicals were simply unable to cash, though an injection of power courtesy of a supercharged V6 engine in the SRT6 model, as seen here, certainly helped ease some of those woes. In the end, Chrysler was left with a so-called halo car that looked the part but never quite performed the part. It was almost universally panned by critics as an overpriced parts-bin special, which, I must add, was damningly accurate. As a result, sales were very slow, and within the first few months, dealers were clearancing the car at cut-rate prices, just to keep them from taking up too much of the showroom floor. Why It's Not That Terrible, After All: I can speak from personal experience when discussing the Chrysler Crossfire. You see, I owned one. Well, sort of...
