1964 Pontiac GTO Convertible

National GTOAA 1996 Second Place Show Winner in popular vote class for '64-'65 convertibles.

Sapphire Blue with parchment white interior and white top.

Colorado car always (15-20% humidity annually); built in Kansas City GM plant and sold at Denver dealership in 1964.

Matching numbers 389 Carter four barrel engine disassembled ready for rebuild; extra 389 included for spare parts if necessary; 1970 400ci four barrrel presently in car. Three speed 400 turbo hydromatic automatic tansmission.

Frame up restoration done in 1996, undercarriage completely sand blasted and zinc chromate coated.

Immaculate body work with zero rust.

Paint is 1992 GM Sapphire Blue; it is in great shape and is very close to the original midnight blue. It could be changed to original color with no body work and only minor prep work if desired.

All the paint in the interior was formulated to be completely original because we were able to find samples from the dashboard and convertible top frame that had not been faded by sunlight.

The interior has been completely restored with parchment white vinyl. The original vinyl was blue. All seat frames were disassembled and zinc chromate coated then reassembled with new springs and padding.

A/C works

All engine compartment, interior and dashboard wiring has been done to completely original concourse condition.

Factory optional wood steering wheel; I have the original steering wheel also.

Power brakes have been updated to dual master cylinder and disc brakes in front with stainless steel brake lines throughout. I have all the original front brake parts and master cylinder.

Power steering has been converted to a close ratio that takes 2.5 turns, lock to lock, rather than the original 4.5 turns. This was done by the company that did all the steering box gearing for NASCAR/Winston Cup at the time. They only did about five percent of their business with the general public like me. The steering box looks no different than stock. It drives and handles great!

The fifteen year old restoration shows only slight wear. This is an above average car. The brake and steering modifications make it very drivable. It could be made into concourse condition without a great deal of work.

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am

Sun, Jun 28 2015

The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.

Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition

Tue, Aug 29 2017

The 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

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR 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.
