Up for auction is a 1964 Pontiac GTO Street Rod, it started life as a Lemans, but anyone that knows their' Pontiacs, knows that in 64 GTO was only a Lemans option and consisted of mainly emblems and a larger V-8 and hood. Other than that the entire body is identical, which changed in later years, so all it needed was a hood, and emblems. Of course for the purists this car would not suffice, but I am not a purist and if you are this car is not for you. I am a Pontiac lover and Pontaic performance enthusiast and if you are , then you will find no better, this car took me 5 years to build, scrimping and saving, and used the best of the best, from the best Pontiac performance builders in the country. It has 580 miles on entire restoration that is 2 years old, garage kept, never seen a drop of rain. It started life as a very clean Lemans, the entire car was dissasembled, basically a frame off, and every panel was blasted and/or paint removed, every bolt removed and replaced, most with stainless steel, the rockers, fenders, doors, trunk, bumpers are all original and rust free, The quarters had a little rust around the wheel wells so we installed brand new full quarters,to factory seams, instead of patching. If you know 64 GTO's NOS hoods are very rare and no repros were mfg. so the hood is glass.We sprayed the entire car with epoxy primer, block sanded, shot the interior with semi gloss trim black and 3 stage exterior in a 2008 Lexus Brandywine Mica color, sanded and polished.The paint is pretty much pristine,except for a few fish eyes that could probably use a little massaging.The bumpers are all original with original chrome in nice shape. All the stainless trim and grills are original and reworked, polished and painted by Paul's Chrome, except the windshiled trim is new repro. The interior consists of real nice original door panels, seats are reupholsterd original frames with 1965 GTO pattern, I know, not year correct but I liked the arrowhead pattern better, and new Ames black rug. The dash is new, gauge cluster is a John Covan carbon fiber deal with Auto Meter Cobalt, Speedo, Tach, Fuel, Water, Oil, Volts, special edition Grant wheel mounted to a tilt Ididit column, Blaupunkt CD 33 100 amp head unit, Kenwood kick panel and rear deck 4 way speakers, with a trunk mounted Kenwood 350 watt amp. Now to the motor, the block is a 1970 455 filled block, drilled with splayed 4 bolt caps, bored and stroked to 474 cubic inch, fully balanced rotating assembly by Kauffman Racing wih all Crower components,oiling is handled by a Milodon Deep Sump Unit, pump is a Melling Kaufman unit pumping Rotella T 15/40 diesel oil, the cam is a mechanical solid unit custom grind by Jeff Kaufman with 607 lift with 1.65 stainless steel roller rockers and full lifter bracing, heads are Kaufman Aluminum High Port units that flow 320, intake is a port matched and opened up for the high ports, rare,original Doug Nash unit. Carburetion is a 950 cfm HP by Quick Fuel with custom jetting. Exhaust is Dougs Round Port Headers with aluminum coating, Doug's Electronic Exhaust Dumps to instantly open the headers, entire exhaust out the rear is 3"stainless steel system by Pypes with X Pipe and Race Pro mufflers. Brand New stock fuel Tank with Jegs Weld On Sump and Earls Stainless Steel ball style shut off valves. Fuel pump is a Robb MC Billet 1100 HP mechanical pump with an electric back up dual stainless steel lined set-up and Robb MC Billet Fuel Filter. Coolant is handled by CSR Electric Water Pump and dual Camaro LT1 Electric Fans.Sparking is handled by Mallory HyFire VI and Accel DFI Coil, NGK spark plugs. Drivetrain consists of a Lakewood Explosion Proof Block Saver and Scatter Shield Bell Housing, Centerforce Dual Friction Clutch powering an original tried and true (not a Richmond repro) beefed up Doug Nash 5 speed transmission, all new driveshaft and TRW universals, Lakewood Driveshaft Loop, 9" Ford Rear custom made by Spraker Racing with 3.25 gears, full posi and heavy, thick splined axles. Transmission gearing pretty much has the car in 4.11 ratio from 1st to 4th and 3.25 in 5th for an overdrive effect. Braking is Classic Performance all stainless steel drilled and slotted discs front and rear, with all stainless steel brake lines front to back and new dual master cylinder power unit., all new control arm bushings, ball joints, steering linkage. Wheels are 16"aluminum Centerline Dagger wheels, front tires are Kuyhmo Ecsta 225/55-16 fronts, Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials 255/50-16 on rear ( a must to try to keep it glued to the street) with all custom lowering spings and Air Lift bags for a nice low stance. This motor has not been dynoed, but a fellow Pontiac friend has pretty much the same set-up and he dynoed 607 HP, and let me tell you, it sure as hell feels like it, the motor comes out to be 11.5 to 1 compression ratio and will run with Premium Pump Fuel, although I mix in 110 Octane VP . There's probably more I'm forgetting, it's been a long road, I've used the best of the best to build this car and hate to sell it but can't afford to keep more than one and I have a new project going. I have well over $35,000 invested in this car and thats not including my labor, it's a head turner no matter where it goes, wins trophies at every show, never been to the track so hasn't been pounded, it's still fresh and ready to go. The only con I can give with this car is the few fish eyes I mentioned in the paint and the trunk leaks abt. a cup of water water when you wash the car, so you must remove the mat and wipe it dry during every wash, just never had time to track down the leak, maybe the weatherstrip was installed incorrectly, other than that pristine. If you decide to bid on my car, you won't be dissapointed, and good luck.

World's only 1964 Pontiac XP-833 Banshee coupe for sale by Kia dealer
Mon, Apr 20 2020It seems like there has been a spate of especially odd car sales in the first part of this especially odd year, from the numerous barn finds and homebrew specials to the time capsule cars — like the BMW wrapped in a protective bubble for 23 years. Napoli Kia in Milford, Connecticut, brings us another, via Motor1. Len Napoli is the dealership principal and die-hard Pontiac maven; his father opened Napoli Pontiac in 1958, and Len held onto the franchise until the early 2000s, just before GM shuttered the brand that built excitement. Napoli got hold of the 1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833 coupe concept, and put the car up for sale through his Kia dealership for $750,000. The exceptional price comes from the fact that Pontiac built two Banshee concepts in 1964, one this silver coupe with a red interior, the other a white roadster, making each concept a one-of-one collector car.   Motor Trend wrote a detailed piece on this one in 2013, the editorial tour hosted by Bill Collins, the Banshee's lead engineer. The short story is that GM exec John Z. DeLorean — yes, him — gave approval to a small crew at Pontiac to create a two-seater sports car to compete with the Mustang, because GM had nothing to fend off the four-seat coupe that would sell one million units in just 18 months on the market. Collins and his team took inspiration from the 1963 Corvair Monza GT concept, working up a fiberglass body over a steel frame, with a 230-cubic-inch overhead-cam straight-six producing 165 horsepower and 216 pound-feet of torque, a four-speed manual transmission, and 9.5-inch drum brakes at all corners. The idea was that the XP-833 would be "an affordable and fun two-seat sports car," the concept demonstrating the base-model price leader offering a lengthy list of options for those who wanted more. The white roadster, in fact, fitted a 326 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. Rumor says that Chevrolet execs didn't like having another two-seater sports car in the GM fold, especially one with a fiberglass body that held weight down to 2,200 pounds. GM execs took one look at the two concepts in 1965 and shut the project down. The two XP-833s lived in a garage for years, Collins and his colleague Bill Killen getting permission to buy the cars from GM in 1973 before Collins left to help engineer the DeLorean DMC-12. It wasn't until just before Collins departed that the XP-333 got the name Banshee.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS
Thu, Jan 29 2015Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.
