1967 Pontiac Gto Phs Documented Automatic Califormia Car on 2040-cars
Hello. This is my 1967 Pontiac GTO coupe built in Fremont, CA. I have owned it for about 10 years. The restoration was completed 3 years ago and there have been 6K miles driven on it since then. Most everything was replaced, restored, repaired or left alone. It had been in a garage in Aptos California, and was not touched in years. The floor pans are all original and rust free. The drivers door is not original, it is a used door from another GTO not reproduction. The engine is a 'YS' code 335HP 400ci and transmission is the TH400 His/Her Hurst automatic as per the build sheet that is included with the PHS documentation. The engine is not the original, but it was taken from an identical 1967 GTO. It took several years to locate a correct engine. The engine compartment has been correctly detailed (as much as possible excluding markings and paper tags) as per the GTO restoration guide, including correct belts, hoses, clamps, battery top and spark plug wires.The carburetor (7027262) and intake(9786286) are correctly coded, as well as the 670 heads. It also has HO exhaust manifolds. The paint is a killer Harley Davidson Chopper Blue Pearl(Original Color was Cameo White) with 5 coats of clear. To me, its the nicest looking GTO color I've seen. It was voted #5 by the Ultimate GTO picture site. http://ultimategto.com/cgi-bin/ratemewinner.cgi?year=1967 . The grill inserts, trim and bright work are all original (except rear bumper) and have been polished, anodized or re-chromed. The trunk is fully detailed with the original jack instructions and correct fuel vent tube. Most of the front suspension is stock, with the steering gears changed to a quicker ratio. The rear suspension has the original sway bar that is part of the factory HD package(as per the PHS docs) and I installed boxed rear control arms. Stock drum brakes with correct Delco booster. The wheels are chromed American Racing TTOs; 15x7. Tires are BFG 235/60/15 and 255/60/15. New body bushings were installed while the body and frame were separated. The restored black interior is mostly stock, with the exception of a Grant wood steering wheel and RetroSound audio. I have the original restored wheel, radio and front speaker that will be included. There is a power amp and subwoofer along with 2 6x9 3-way speakers in the rear and a dash mounted dual speaker in front. The audio system can easily be removed are returned to stock. It has a rare dealer installed console mounted vacuum gauge. The clock is NOS and works. All gauges and lights function. It has been in several Good Guys shows and local car shows, getting awarded every time. The GTO drives better than new, and is ready for any long haul. I have been driving it regularly since it was completed. It is not a 100 point trailer queen. Any questions please email me, and I would encourage you to see and drive this car in person as it is truly a wonderful ride. Needs nothing, so there is no work you need to do except put gas in it and drive. Now for the not fun part - no low ballers or scammers. I'm not a 'motivated' seller and not in a hurry, so please no wishful thinking. I know what this car is worth as well as you. The vehicle will not be released until all funds are cleared as per my bank. I've been truthful and accurate in my descriptions so its up to you if you would like to come see it or have it inspected. Its a great car that you would be proud to own, drive and show for years to come. Also - My friends son took this quick video for fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6GIMKGthrk Thanks and happy bidding!!!!! |

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.
The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction
Sat, Apr 4 2020Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction. As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country. In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals. This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer. The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information.
