TRIBUTE

 

Pictured for sale is a beautiful and detailed tribute convertible of a 1965 Pontiac GTO with a rebuilt 1971 Pontiac 400 c.i. engine.  Car started its transformation from Tempest to a GTO in the late 1980’s and was completed with the current owner in the mid-1990’s (see photos at body shop).  Since its completion the Pontiac has been driven only 40,000 miles, never driven in bad weather, and always garaged.  Owners have receipts for all work which was ever performed on the car.

 

SPECIFICATIONS;

 

Body:  1965 GTO (tribute) was painted a (DuPont) Ford Twilight Blue with a new white convertible top with a Plexiglas rear window. Landau cover matches the interior (see photo).  All of the chrome is in good condition.  There are some pits in the tail lights, all of the other pieces are VG.  There is no rust coming through the body on this car and the paint is approximately 20 years old. Unfortunately, a few scratches developed over the years (see photos).  All of the glass is perfect. This car has never been abused or in an accident.

 

Engine:  1971 Pontiac 400 was rebuilt in 1994 to stock specs with a Rochester 750 Quadrajet and a mild Pontiac performance cam.  GTO still retains the original style “points” ignition. Oversized radiator was added to keep the car running cool.  Items recently replaced include the gas tank, fuel lines, battery, and starter.

 

Transmission:  1971; stock 3-speed automatic, 350 Turbo Hydramatic .  Transmission was rebuilt at the same time as the engine.

 

Rear Differential and suspension; Original 1965 Pontiac 10 bolt “open” rear with 3:23 gears.  New front sway bar, bushings, and ball joints.  Power drum brakes have less than 10,000 miles since being replaced and rebuilt.  

 

Interior:  Complete restoration, including the door panels, seat covers, and carpeting.  Original dash was maintained with all working gauges. Additions include; the Pontiac vacuum gauge on the console, aftermarket oil pressure, temperature, and volt meter. In dash/original style AM-FM radio & cassette player, power antenna, and clock all work too.

 

Tires and Wheels;  14” Pontiac “rally” wheels custom painted (including the spare) to match the white and blue exterior.  Tires are by Dunlop with 205 70SR 14 up front and 245 60SR 14 in the rear. 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM LISTING THIS GTO TRIBUTE FOR A FRIEND.  DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS TO ME VIA EMAIL (jkurzmann@yahoo.com) OR BY CELL PHONE @ 410-937-0719.  A VIDEO OF THE CAR IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

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.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
