1970 Pontiac GranTurismoOmolgato "GTO" 4-speed Convertible      1970 was the pinnacle of the muscle car era! This has got to be one of the most beautiful color combinations on a muscle car ever! This is your chance to purchase one of the most highly desirable and sought after muscle cars on the planet! This GTO truly is the essence of the Widetrack Pontiac experience!! It originally was bought new according to the dealer invoice from Alabama. Apparently it had been sitting in the AutoWorks Classic Car Museum from 1995 until I made the purchase in Hollywood, Florida in 2010. The title is clean and clear in the previous owners name from Tennessee. I was told that the mileage is correct at a mere 51,000 original miles. This classic old goat has always spent its life down south, and was obviously well taken care of. The original paint was simply faded, so all the panels were removed, and meticulously painted off the car before being reinstalled. This is an original Code 75 Cardinal Red GTO with a factory 4-speed, and matching red interior verified by to the Pontiac Historical Society. It was painted with 3 coats of basecoat followed by 3 coats of one of the most expensive clear coats available to bring out the beautiful luster as seen in the pictures. All the body panels are original to the car, as well as the original floors, trunk, and frame which are all in very nice solid condition. There is one very minor patch on the passenger floor about 4"x7" in size, and that repair was done correctly to last. This paint work is as close to show quality as they come, and the body is laser straight. A fresh brand new white convertible top was recently installed with a glass back window, all new padding, and a brand new well liner. The interior has brand new exact match factory seat covers, all new side panels, brand new carpeting, and new door sills. I have to say that it is so nice to step into a 43 year old car where virtually everything around you is brand spanking new! All the  seat belts are  in place and fully functional. All of the rubber gaskets were replaced at the time of paint including the door gaskets, window seals, and trunk gasket. The doors open and close like when this car was brand new, and they have dual sport mirrors with the drivers side being remote controlled. The speedometer, odometer, and in-dash tachometer all work as they should. There are still a full set of four T-3 headlights and bright lights in the very nice original endure front nose. The correct 1970 tail light lenses are brand new, so they really light up nicely. The engine compartment was detailed to look like this car came straight from the factory. The original dual snorkel air cleaner has a new chrome lid to really brighten up this Big Block! The dual exhaust is in good condition with new dual chrome exhaust tips. This engine is powered by an AC Delco battery with new terminal ends. I tried to replace all of the original factory decals that appeared when this car rolled from the factory to the showroom for delivery back in 1970. According to the previous owner there is a distinct possibility this car has all of its original components from top to bottom other than the items I've replaced. That knowledge is considered third party information. Nevertheless, I'm sure the new owner will be very happy to show or drive this car anywhere with pride. All of the chrome is in good drivers quality condition to excellent condition.  This original red on red GTO is perfect for the guy or girl who had one in high school and would like to revisit the past, or for someone who simply wants to drive around to enjoy steering their investment while their money grows. It's a wonderful car to take to your local drive-in movie theater or cruise night, It's also a great car to take to your high school re-union to remind your classmates how cool you really are. New spark plugs, a new oil filter, and a fresh oil change were done to prepare this car for sale. The alternator and power steering belts were also replaced. This super rare goat has factory air conditioning including all the components you see to make it work. The compressor spins freely, although I never put an A/C belt on, and I'm sure it is still on the R-12 system. Making the air conditioning work will be left up to the winning bidder if they so desire. It is just nice to have that option available. The original options include power steering, power brakes, in dash tachometer, power convertible top, bucket seats, and  the factory 4-speed with the console. This classic GTO is steered by the deluxe sport wheel. It rides on a set of four Firestone raised white lettered P225 70R/14" steel belted radial tires. They are mounted on a set of four detailed original 14" inch Pontiac Rallye wheels  with all four original black PMD center caps, and all new correct Pontiac chrome lug nuts with the black insert. The original AM radio is long gone. Currently there is an AM/FM Cassette player in that spot, but is not hooked up, so the sound system will be left to the choice of the winning bidder. There were no speaker holes cut anywhere in this new interior. I know that is very important to Pontiac enthusiasts. The very nice original trunk floor was coated with factory AC Delco black and aqua spatter spray, and then clear coated to seal the spatter spray. A new trunk floor mat was added under the nicely restored jack and crow bar. A full size Rallye wheel with a matching Firestone raised white lettered spare tire comes inside the trunk just in case there is a mishap on the road. With a quick tire change you can be back on your way looking complete in minutes. Everywhere this goat is driven people are attracted to it like a magnet. You have to be prepared to be the spectacle of the neighborhood, because everyone will know who's coming. These cars are becoming harder and harder to come across. The southern climate always kept these cars in much better condition than your average 43 year old car. A great deal of time, money, and effort went into making the car that is listed in this description. What you see is exactly what you get. Plain and simple!! Take advantage of this chance to finally own your dream car. This is an investment that has shown to consistently appreciate in value with each quarter. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide has the current values that anyone can check on-line for a genuine 242 code 1970 Pontiac GTO 4-speed convertible with the options listed on this car priced at $96,960 in the highest condition, $61,440 in average condition, and $20,320 in the lowest condition. I believe that anyone who sees this extremely rare GTO would have to agree that this car is in much better than average condition. This is a prime opportunity to own a piece of muscle car history at a reasonable price. I tried to describe all of the pertinent information, so any potential bidder can make the most informed decision possible before placing their bid. If anyone feels there may be something that was missed in the description, please ask as many questions as you like or call Ian at 773/551-5075. If you don't ask, you won't know! All questions will be answered in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. A car that came from the factory with this color combination, and a 4-speed is next to impossible to find. This is a quick 5-day  auction that will sell to the highest bidder on Sunday evening May 26th, 2013. Just in time for Memorial Day! Start making yourself some wonderful new memories!! When was the last time you ever saw an original factory ordered Red on Red 1970 GTO Convertible with a 4 speed?? This could be the dream car you have been waiting for! You have to be an extrovert to own a car of this nature, and have a good strong arm for waving at people! Thank you for taking the time to view my auction!!  Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids

Tue, May 29 2018

Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.

World's only 1964 Pontiac XP-833 Banshee coupe for sale by Kia dealer

Mon, Apr 20 2020

It seems like there has been a spate of especially odd car sales in the first part of this especially odd year, from the numerous barn finds and homebrew specials to the time capsule cars — like the BMW wrapped in a protective bubble for 23 years. Napoli Kia in Milford, Connecticut, brings us another, via Motor1. Len Napoli is the dealership principal and die-hard Pontiac maven; his father opened Napoli Pontiac in 1958, and Len held onto the franchise until the early 2000s, just before GM shuttered the brand that built excitement. Napoli got hold of the 1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833 coupe concept, and put the car up for sale through his Kia dealership for $750,000. The exceptional price comes from the fact that Pontiac built two Banshee concepts in 1964, one this silver coupe with a red interior, the other a white roadster, making each concept a one-of-one collector car.      Motor Trend wrote a detailed piece on this one in 2013, the editorial tour hosted by Bill Collins, the Banshee's lead engineer. The short story is that GM exec John Z. DeLorean — yes, him —  gave approval to a small crew at Pontiac to create a two-seater sports car to compete with the Mustang, because GM had nothing to fend off the four-seat coupe that would sell one million units in just 18 months on the market. Collins and his team took inspiration from the 1963 Corvair Monza GT concept, working up a fiberglass body over a steel frame, with a 230-cubic-inch overhead-cam straight-six producing 165 horsepower and 216 pound-feet of torque, a four-speed manual transmission, and 9.5-inch drum brakes at all corners. The idea was that the XP-833 would be "an affordable and fun two-seat sports car," the concept demonstrating the base-model price leader offering a lengthy list of options for those who wanted more. The white roadster, in fact, fitted a 326 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. Rumor says that Chevrolet execs didn't like having another two-seater sports car in the GM fold, especially one with a fiberglass body that held weight down to 2,200 pounds. GM execs took one look at the two concepts in 1965 and shut the project down. The two XP-833s lived in a garage for years, Collins and his colleague Bill Killen getting permission to buy the cars from GM in 1973 before Collins left to help engineer the DeLorean DMC-12. It wasn't until just before Collins departed that the XP-333 got the name Banshee.
