“Little GTO, your really lookin’ fine. Three deuces and a
four-speed and a 389. Listen to her tachin’ up now, listen to her
whi-ee-eye-ine. C’mon and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out.. GTO”!! What a famous song!! Done
originally by Ronnie and the Daytonas and later by the Beach Boys. I cannot see
one of these GTO without thinking about that song. Back in 1964 when these cars
first came out, there were few other cars that were as fast. Especially the
GTO's
with the 3x 2’s. I had a friend that had a 4-speed 3x2 car and I was never in
the car when he was beaten.
The new engine for the GOAT would be a slightly punched
out 389 to 400 cubic inches. A number of improvements were made and the new
engine, including more efficient cylinder heads. They also had larger intake and
exhaust valves with a redesigned intake manifold to accept the Rochester
Quadrajet Carb. In 1967, you could actually buy a low powered 2 BBL GTO.
This was a first. It came with lower compression and smaller valves. The
standard 400 engine was rated at the same horsepower as the 1966 389 engine, 335
HP. Safety and handling received attention also in this new
GOAT. It received new 14 inch disc brakes and an energy absorbing steering
column. The outside appearance also received attention. The most noteworthy of
these were the rear end. There were eight rear taillights instead of just six as
it was the year before. Now let me tell you about this particular GTO. Overall it
is a very nice car that drives extremely well. It is not a Trailer Queen to be
loaded into a trailer and taken to a show. The underside is nice and clean and
rust free, but it is not perfect and does not have all the paint daubs, etc. as
a Trailer Queen would. This car is for someone who drives his car but still
occasionally takes it to a show. It would make you perfectly happy and proud to
have such a nice car and you would get plenty of attention as there are not many
of these GTO convertibles, especially in this gorgeous color. I have taken pictures of the auxiliary gauges so you
could see them. I did the same thing with my personal 427 Fairlane. The factory
“idiot” gauges are just that….IDOIT GAUGES! I want to know what is going on with
my car!! The extra gauges work perfectly! Some unusual items that normally do
not work in other cars, DO work in this car such as the clock and the console light. Most people do not pay attention to things
like that. This shows you the type of attention this car has had. Like I said
before, before it really looks and drives extremely well. Even the really neat
HOOD TACH works perfectly. Please note the HIS and HERS shifter which is a great
deal of fun to drive to say the least. When it is in the HIS portion of the
HURST Shifter, it will chirp the tires with no problem what so ever. A very interesting item in the car to me is the grab handle right above the glove box. When these cars originally came out the acceleration was like something you had never felt before, so the passenger would use that handle if they were scared when you “got on it”. In the cars early days, the handle was called a “Sissy Handle” for obvious reasons. Another cool deal on this car is the fact that all 4 of the lights on this car are the original T3 headlights. Pretty neat I think!! I HAVE JUST ADDED PICS OF THE SERIAL NUMBER ON THE ENGINE. YOU CAN SEE THEM AT THE END OF THE PICTURES. GTO'S DO NOT HAVE SERIAL NUMBERS THAT CORRESPOND TO THE LAST DIGITS OF THE CAR SERIAL NUMBER LIKE MOST CARS. THE ENGINE SERIAL NUMBER CAN BE SEEN ON THE PONTIAC HISTORICAL DOCUMENT THAT I HAVE TAKEN PICS OF. I HAVE HIGH LIGHTED THE NUMBER IN BLACK MARKER SO YOU CAN SEE. THE OWNER TELLS ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO CORRECT FOR THE CAR. We reserve the right to end this auction at any time because this GTO is for sale locally. Please do not bid and then decide to inspect the car. Please inspect before bidding if you wish. |

6 car mashups that God never intended
Sat, May 17 2014In the 2000s, the musical mashup genre saw a peak of popularity with releases like The Grey Album from Danger Mouse that mixed The Beatles and Jay-Z. UK artist James Pursey from Carwow decided to take the same concept of shoehorning two disparate things together but applied the concept to cars. Your opinion on the results will vary with your sense of humor. These creations are either some funny pieces of abstract art or absolute monstrosities that prove good design should be left alone. Likely the best of the bunch is the Lambotomic (pictured above), which combines a Lamborghini Miura and an Ariel Atom. Granted, the Ariel is little more than a skeleton to begin with, and the outcome looks like a slightly stretched Atom with the new nose and tail from one of the most beautiful vehicles ever. This could actually work. Though, not all of the mashups are quite so pleasant. The Porschiac WW RS (pictured right) is absolutely disgusting. It combines a Pontiac Aztek, which isn't a beauty queen to start with, and a Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Obviously, the 911 is an iconic shape in autonobolia, but that can't save it from the horror of the Aztek. Pursey fits the its nose, wheel, wing, roll cage and stripes onto the Pontiac. The outcome: A design that will show up in your nightmares. Check out the gallery for the rest of the mashups, including the Humi (a Humvee and a Mini), Aston Smartin (Aston Martin and Smart), Rangerini (Range Rover and Lamborghini Aventador) and the Mazdafenda (Mazda MX-5 Miata and Land Rover Defender). They might not all be beautiful (or even pretty), but it's fun to imagine these oddball creations actually driving down the road.

Another Burt Reynolds Trans Am is up for auction
Wed, Jan 18 2017Fans of Smokey and the Bandit, your car has arrived. This Saturday, January 21, Barrett-Jackson will auction a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am clone that, while not originally in the movie, was owned and signed by the Bandit himself, Burt Reynolds. Not only that, but it packs many modifications that should make this Pontiac drive the way we all imagined it did. This is a Trans Am clone, not an original. The car was built by Nebraska company Restore A Muscle Car, and started life as a lowly Firebird Formula. However, the company brought it up to Trans Am grade and beyond. Under the hood is a fuel-injected 8.2-liter V8 from Butler Performance that Restore A Muscle Car says produces 600 horsepower. Coupled to the big V8 is a Tremec five-speed manual transmission. There's even Hurst line-lock on-board, so this Trans Am should be perfect for on-demand burnouts. The car also comes with QA1 coil-over suspension, so it should corner better than the original, too. The outside looks roughly like a stock Trans Am, but it now has 18-inch wheels styled after those from the movie car, and the shaker scoop says "8.2" on each side. View 5 Photos In 2014, a 1977 Trans Am owned by Reynolds sold for a whopping $450,000. That car wasn't an actual movie car either, and lacked the modifications of this one. However, it was used as a promotional car and was given to Reynolds, so it did have some history with the film. This upgraded car is listed in the Barrett-Jackson catalog as "no reserve," so it's going home with a new owner on Saturday, regardless of price. Related Video:
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
