1967 Pontiac Gto Wagon Rat Rod Project - Over 18k Invested - Pro Built on 2040-cars
Mount Juliet, Tennessee, United States
i have had this wagon for 9 years and just have no time to finish. Pains me to tell this story but here is the history. Yes it is technically a LEMANS but has GTO Hood, grill, seats, etc. So I call it a GTO wagon.
The wagon had original 326 and was sent to a well known Pontiac racer in VA to have it totally redone. He ripped out the motor and put in a screaming 455 and rebuilt trans. Whole dash was redone with new gauges, suspension redone, etc. I spent about 7-8k with him on work taking over 6 months. Then I got a GTO hood, GTO seats, GTO Grill, his/her shifter console and front grill to make it look better. Stripped down body and primed it. Things were going well. Life changed...wife..family...typical story. Car was outside covered with one of those blowup complete covers. Then car moved to a body shop in NY...unknown to me it got move outside without cover so alot of damage. Very sad. Water got inside car so shifter is ruined, carpet was soaked, etc. Hood was closed but seems motor got weathered. So far have changed out new carb, starter, distributor, pugs, wires. Has MSD ignition box, Skip White distributor, ..tons of quality parts. Got it running but shifter linkage is frozen so that is next on the list. If I try to start it...just wants to go as it is in gear. Really dont have more time to put into it with family and two businesses. Looking to trade for something running/driving. Love rat rods and old stuff but could also use a good pickup truck. So I have roughly 15-20K+ into it..probably more if I add it up. Ive realized I do not have the time or space to finish although I do not think it would take much. I would say this is quite a deal for someone who can finish it up. Everything is there but needs work. Use it as rat rod! Open to bartering for something that is turn the key and go. No projects. The car has been outside for some time but has held up quite well. Does have some rust of course and some metal pitting along rear side windows. Also noticed a nice ding in hood/front valance but should be able to be banged out. ----------- 2/25/2013 I found many receipts from the car: Car - 4100 motor - 5500 trans - 900 brakes (front disc, rear, lines) - 1250 suspension - 1865 rear - 600 extras (console, shifter, gauge install, GTO seats, starter, alternator, MSD, exhaust, headers) - 3040 paint supplies - 500 gauges - 960 Total is 18715... think i am going to be sick. Then add in GTO hood, front grill, transport, other items, etc. Has extra glass (many pieces) but no windshield anywhere. You will need to get one. Door glass installed as is rear hatch glass. Side rear windows have glass but has to be reinstalled with new rubber. So basically I am giving everything for free and selling you a motor. Ridiculous... |

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition
Tue, Aug 29 2017The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan
New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just 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 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – 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.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
