“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.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
