Numbers Matching, Original 1964 Pontiac GTO 4 Barrel - I have the 3-2 barrel manifold but never converted it because, contrary to popular opinion, the 4 Barrel works better (in my opinion anyway). I bought the car in 2011; prior owner had the car restored and engine rebuilt. Frankly, not the world’s best restoration. Since the time that I have had it have done a “frame on” restoration. While I have made a bunch of modifications, I have all of the original parts; if you’re a stickler you can put it back but take it from me: it is so much better now; pro touring upgrades to suspension and brakes! Generally speaking, completely all original cars are horrible driving cars. This is a great looking car in great shape; it was not built to be a show car; it was built to drive. Everything works except the original radio (didn’t want to take it out of the dash) –I added an amplifier in the trunk so it is iPod ready. Too much to list but I will give it a try: Rebuilt motor (by previous owner); it runs strong and is pretty much stock as far as I can tell 3.08 posi rear Rebuilt original Carter AFB SPC tubular upper control arms, heavy duty ball joints SPC coil springs 550 lbs front, 135 back – whole car is dropped 2-3” Front and rear sway bars Body completely gone over; body gaps and panels all smoothed, straight and repainted R134 Air condition; upgraded compressor, condenser, hoses, blower motor Re-cored the heavy duty radiator Bilstein Shocks all four corners Recondition driver and passenger seats to firm them up Antenna relocated from front to right rear 45 degree with electric motor New starter All bushings replaced – sway bars, control arms, ball joints 4 wheel disc brakes upgrade with dual master cylinder Team III 17x8 “minilite” style wheels; 225/55/17s front, 255/50/17 rear Kumbo Ecsta Custom fabrication of front air scoops – now functional – have original inserts Ram Air Products High Performance Manifolds and Pypes Exhaust Upgraded to 3 speed Turbo 350 transmission – have original 2 speed superglide (3 speed is way better) Added additional water temp and pressure gauge from a ’65 to replace the clock Custom Car Cover $364 Rechromed front and rear bumpers Added vintage vacuum and tach gauges on the center console Petronix electronic ignition with MSD MS6 Receipts for almost everything! |

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years
Mon, Dec 17 2018An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
