Pontiac: Gto on 2040-cars
Bridgeview, Illinois, United States
My eMail : conwaytimnke@mynet.com
Truly one of a kind, 2006 Pontiac GTO, built in April of 2006, 6.0L engine, six (6) speed manual transmission, and is the latest model with all the hiccups sorted out from the previous models. The car is in mint condition with only 17,700 miles, which will slightly increase as the car is being driven. Other than minor blemishes on the paint, which are to be expected for a 10 yrs old car, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Also, the interior is in immaculate condition, and there are no scratches or tears of any kind on the leather or plastic. I have invested in the parts alone approximately $18,000, which will be listed accordingly here in the near future as there are so many parts to list. No expense was spared, and no shortcuts were taken. Therefore, I will highlight the main specs that make this car so unique. Custom tuned 447 whp (This was with the factory exhaust; Borla cat-back with X-pipe was added afterwards. So, it is safe to say that the hp slightly increased) The car has been modified with Kooks long tube headers, Kooks high flow cats, heads, supporting valve-train with Duel springs, custom cam by Ed for a procharger, Intake, and fuel injectors. And, it was tuned by Corey from Simpson Performance. It is truly a joy to drive with the MGW-P short throw shifter. My initial plan for the car was to install the procharger in addition to these modifications, expecting it to produce around 700 whp. The entire suspension has been addressed; the car only has the factory front sway bar link bushings, and the factory rear sub frame bushings (2, one on each side). VMR wheels 18x8 with brand new 245/40/18 Michelin super sport tires, and 18x9.5 with 285/35/18 Nitto DR tires, with approximately 1000 miles on them. Please note that the wheels are silver, and have been painted black with plasti dip, a rubber coating which can be removed. We can let the buyer decide which color they prefer better. I will be updating and adding things here as the time goes by, as there is certainly a lot to list. You can feel free to contact me via email, phone, or text, at 954 284 1632. The only trade that I am willing to consider is for a Ducati Panigale, 1299s. I am somewhat flexible on the price, but I will not accept low offers, in fact, I may not even respond to them. I DO NOT NEED HELP SELLING THIS CAR, so do not contact me in that regard. I will not allow for joyrides, so please serious offers and considerations only.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction
Sat, Apr 4 2020Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction. As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country. In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals. This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer. The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
