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! |

Vitruvian Energy crowdfunding to make EEB, a trashy biofuel
Sat, Nov 22 2014When sewage is treated at a wastewater treatment facility, biosolids are the byproduct. After being separated from the water, biosolids are usually sent to a landfill or incinerated. That doesn't mean that they're without value, however. Vitruvian Energy has created a process to make a usable fuel out of this human waste product, and while the source is pretty gross, it is undeniably abundant, and the results are much cleaner. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon. In a process that Vitruvian Energy claims is energy efficient, biosolids are femented and introduced to a type of bacteria to create PHA plastic. Reacting the PHA with ethanol creates the ethyl-3-ethoxybutyrate (EEB) biofuel. Vitruvian says EEB can be blended up to 20 percent with gasoline or diesel without any engine modifications. This lowers the carbon footprint of the fuel it's blended into, and serves to oxygenate diesel, leading to fewer harmful emissions. EEB can also be made using other organic waste products, such as corn stover, rice straw and distillers grains. EEB can be made for less than $4 a gallon and isn't subject to the maddening market fluctuations and international politics of fossil fuels. Furthermore, EEB's carbon footprint is 70 percent less than that of fossil fuels. Vitruvian also sees potential for EEB to be used on its own to power vehicles or burned to produce electricity for the grid. So far, Vitruvian Energy has used grants from the California Energy Commission and National Science Foundation to develop EEB, and has tested the fuel in a Pontiac Solstice at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Now, Vitruvian is wants to test EEB on a larger scale in the real world in order to prove EEB's viability to interested parties in the wastewater treatment industry. In an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign, Vitruvian Energy hopes to raise $200,000 to build a prototype EEB production line and to run a test vehicle for a year on an EEB-diesel blend on the streets of Seattle. Donors can score some interesting perks such as shirts and bumper stickers that say "Get Clean with Poopaline." Learn more about EEB in the video and press release below.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi
Sat, Jun 19 2021The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.
