“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. |

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package
Sun, Dec 22 2019Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams
Fri, Aug 31 2018There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.
