1964 Pontiac Gto (clone) Convertible 389 Tri-power 4 Speed on 2040-cars

Just in time for Christmas - the perfect sleigh for Santa!
You are looking at my pride and joy, a 1964 Pontiac GTO clone with a power top, 4-Speed manual transmission and a Tri-Power. Everything you need without the worry that goes with a numbers matching GTO. I've driven this car to work and left it in the parking lot with no worries - something I would not do with an all original GTO! The previous owner told me that this amazing car started life as a California 6 cylinder LeMans and at some point a donor GTO was used to supply this car with a GTO drivetrain and body parts. The car is made up of original OEM GTO parts, and few reproductions. The person I bought it from told me when the restoration was done (in the 1980s I believe) aftermarket reproductions were not available so he went with OEM. The hood is an original metal hood from a 1964 GTO that alone sells for THOUSANDS of dollars alone. Highlights Include: - 389 V8 Engine - Tri-Power Carbs (Rebuilt in October by California Carburetor) - Muncie 4 Speed Manual Transmission - Power Convertible Top - Power Steering - Power Brakes with Upgraded Aftermarket Front Discs - Fresh Front End Rebuild with Powder Coated A-Arms and Parts - Custom Made Wide 15" Steel Wheels from Stockton Wheel - New Tires with Under 300 miles - New Gas Tank - New AM/FM/USB Radio - New Convertible Top Hydraulic Cylinders and Hoses - New Starter - New Radiator - All New Exhaust System ENGINE / TRANSMISSION: I haven't had any engine or tranny work done but both seem good. No oil burning or noises. The exhaust runs all the way to the back and is brand new with a great exhaust note. CONVERTIBLE TOP: The top is in good condition. The rear window is a bit foggy but not bad. At highway speeds the vinyl slaps around a bit and I think it could use being tacked down somewhere. As you can see in the pictures, no holes, rips or other problems with the vinyl. The top is not new, but is in good condition. Hydraulic top has new hoses and cylinders as of a few weeks ago. I don't think it ever had a boot. COLOR: The original color (V-2) was Grenadier Red with a Black top. PAINT / RUST: The trunk lid has bubbling due to that car cover issue and that bit of rust. My plan was to repaint everything from the quarter panels back to clean it all up. Doors forward the paint looks much better. The car appears to have no rust aside from the cosmetic bits at the trunk lid. I have been under the car and I haven't seen any at all including when I swapped out the gas tank. Of course there could be something hidden but I really doubt it. From what I gathered from the pervious owner, The damage to the trunk lid (bubbles and the rust spot) are doe to a car cover holding in moisture. I'm not an expert and I'd welcome an inspector to come out if you have one to make sure. The red paint is rough in the trunk lid area and there is a spot of rust at the top corner of the trunk lid. From a distance the paint looks OK but up close you can see it is in need of a repaint to be a show car. ELECTRICAL: The electrical works but there are some quirks so I added aftermarket gauges to be sure the "idiot lights" were working. Headlights work, radio works, engine electrical works, convertible top motor works. HEATER: The heater is not working and I haven't dug in to see why. I do know that the control rods under the dash are missing. I live in Southern California so I haven't needed it. WEATHERSTRIP: The weatherstrip is in poor shape. That was on the list to replace. REGISTRATION: Tags are current and the title is in my name. I drive the car to work pretty regularly so all is cool there. I took some close up pictures of the ID numbers and the trunk lid. If you want to see the pics, just shoot me a message and I'll get them to you. |

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion
Fri, May 27 2016The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.

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
GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue
Sun, Feb 15 2015A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
