1966 Pontiac GTO

Miles: 69,740 (1-4-2014)

VIN: 242176P240065

Its paint is an aftermarket metallic dark blue. Date and age of paint is unknown. I’ve had the car 6 years here in Northern NJ (3 miles from the Lincoln Tunnel). The car was built in Michigan for a lady in Michigan. This car has a lot of torque, lots of power and runs on 93 octane gas and burns no oil.

Engine is clean. Lots of new parts added to the car. It’s a basic and simple strong and reliable car. Manual steering and manual drum brakes, no leaks from steering or brakes.

The unconfirmed story is that this car was ordered for racing. PHS documented this as a rare built for a 1966. The car was ordered with no radio and no heat. It was ordered with a 389 tri-power Ram Air, Muncie M22, and 4.33 rear gears. It was a Turquoise blue color interior and exterior. Years pass and she had a radio and heat installed at the dealership. Then the car was put in a barn and years later painted, got some other motor, trans, and minor restoration by someone (unknown). The original engine and trans did not come with the car when I purchased it.

The interior is clean and black and in good condition. The front seats are comfortable and clean but seem to have 1967 seat covers. The rear seat, the cover is nice but it’s a cover over the seat and really could use some cushion underneath.

The headliner has 2 small holes (thumb size) in the front by the rear view mirror and the rear above the rear seat on the driver’s side but looks good outside of that. The dash has the standard rally cluster of warning lights and gauges, speedometer, and clock. Clock, tachometer, and oil pressure needs to be refurbished, it’s not working. An aftermarket electric temp, after market (mounted on the steering column) tachometer, and electrical oil pressure is installed and working. The radio is an aftermarket radio designed to fit the dash, dash is not cut up. The radio works really good and has a connector for an MP3 player or iPod. All lights work Gen, interior, glove, front, back, reverse, brakes, blinkers, trunk, and lights up when doors are open. The inside floor is covered with an insulation that is for noise and heat. The rug is in great shape and is black. It sits a little off by the shifter but only noticeable if you feel it.

The transmission is a heavy duty build from 5speeds in Florida and is about 4-5 years old. The trans leaks from 2 places, the shift linkage (o-rings) and the speedo cable connector. The trans has a fine threading and the cable has the stock coarse threading (I have a new cable, not installed). Speedo is connected and works. When cold, getting into first gear requires an extra push from neutral to 1^st. All other gears shift smoothly. I also put the car in gear (1^{st or}2^nd) before going into reverse, if not, the trans will make noise from the gears.

The body, the car is a 10 footer but as you get closer the paint is old that has nicks, small scratches, and marks. The lower rear back fenders has been patched above and behind the wheel well. There’s small chips as expected and areas where the paint does not look so good. I tried to take a picture but it does not show. This is not a perfect car. Rust: small hole by the door jam (see pic) on the passenger side, trunk floor has been replaced (trunk floor was fitted in over the current floor), corner of the hood, on the side (see pic), and a small hole under the gas pedal area (a plate seems to cover the hole).

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek

Fri, Jan 29 2016

Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 Â– also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past Â– to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy Â— will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.Â While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
