1964 Pontiac Gto Convertible, Unrestored Original With Phs Documentation on 2040-cars
Poway, California, United States
|
1964 PONTIAC GTO CONVERTIBLE unrestored original survivor. numbers match. PHS Documented 348 hp tri-power, 4 speed transmission, 3.55 ratio safe-t track rear, radio, heater, windshield tint and nothing else! (no power steering, brakes, no console, no air) I have owned this car since May 1980 (34 years) power steering has been added. It was stored inside and seldom driven for the last 20 years. Since it ran poorly when parked we decided to freshen up the motor and rebuild anything that didn't work properly. The engine (code 76X) is .030 over with new bearings, rings, seals and gaskets. A complete valve job was done with new oil seals, The original camshaft was replaced with Summit part # 123455 which adds considerable horsepower but moves the torque curve up quite a bit. A complete new 2.25" exhaust system was installed, The carbs were rebuilt with new linkage, and air filters, the water pump was replaced, a new clutch disc installed with a new pilot bearing. A replacement distributer was installed and the engine compartment was detailed. The convertible top motor was rebuilt and new weatherstrip was applied to the doors. No other restoration has been done. The car had been repainted before I bought it and the color is similar to the original turquoise. The paint is a 10 footer, shiny but lots of tiny flaws. The front bumper could use chrome but the rear bumper is excellent. The interior is very nice but the carpet is not the original loop style and the front seats are stiched instead of the original electroweld. The rear seat is the original and is perfect. The original door panels are excellent...The top and frame are in good shape and the top boot is nice. There is no rust at all on this car as well as no evidence of any damage. All in all a very nice car. It is MUCH faster than before. Here are the numbers: Block casting #9778155, code 76X dated C 25 4, Heads casting #9770716 dated C 24 4, Intake casting #9775088 dated k 10 3, 4 spd casting # 3851325 (no date), front carb # 7024178 center carb #7024175 Rear carb #7024179 Bell housing casting # 9773320. (unique to the 1964 4 speed cars) All these numbers are correct for the 1964 GTO. The body ID plate (firewall) shows the body to have been built in Pontiac Mich in the 5th week of January 1964 (code 01E), the PHS docs show the date to be Jan 31 1964. so far so good, but the engine (block and heads) was cast in March 64 (C 25 4 and C 24 4). 2 months after the car was built. ??? My guess is that the first owner blew the engine and the block was replaced under warranty (but who knows?) The PHS docs also show no power steering, so that was added sometime before I bought the car in 1980. Any fifty year old car must have it's secrets ! The engine has about 20 minutes of camshaft break in time on my engine stand and less than 50 miles of trouble free driving after installation. The car is ready to drive anywhere. I can email pictures of any part of the car you might like to see. I owned and raced a 64 tempest with a 1969 400 and1966 tripower and heads (#77) which ran 102 in the quarter. This car feels faster. I am getting too old to keep doing this (i'm 75) so everything but my last 2 cars (57 Bel air and 57 270 hp Vette ) will have to go. The radio does not work and the steering wheel is not original but I think you will love the car. I also can include seats and exhaust headers(rusty) from my tempest if you want them. The engine from that 64 tempest is available if someone wants it. It's a 400 ci 69 block with 66 GTO heads (#77) and Tri Power (big center carb), unknown cam but likely stock. Flexplate in back with electronic dist.. $1000 for the engine (the 66heads, intake, and carbs are worth more ). It will be listed on ebay under Pontiac parts. |

Autoblog Classifieds finds: 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT
Tue, May 15 2018Autoblog's free Readers' Used Car Classifieds section is a great place to list your car for sale, and because these are readers, they often list really interesting cars. Occasionally we find interesting listings, and tell you what's special about them. This 1987 Pontiac Fiero was listed for sale at the time of this writing, but if the listing expires by the time you read this, feel free to browse for other great finds. Thirty years after General Motors stopped building it, the Pontiac Fiero might have finally emerged from the darkness. First, it was a humble commuter car that just happened to be a mid-engined coupe, then it was a re-skinnable basis for Fierorraris or other slightly strange kit cars, and then it made some Worst Cars of All Time lists due to its econobox ingredients, including its Chevy Citation suspension parts. But after a few decades, even the most mediocre car will become interesting as most of the examples built have been run into the ground; why not then the Fiero? The story of the Fiero is paralleled by a number of GM products, as it improved constantly the longer it was built, and by the time of the last model years it was quite decent indeed. And then the plug was pulled. The Fiero might not be a Toyota MR2 or even a Fiat X1/9, but it was made in two body styles, the notchback and the fastback, the latter of which looks especially good now. The Fiero also remains quite affordable, and the plastic body panels do not rust, unlike with the two aforementioned cars. This 1987 car advertised for sale at Autoblog Classifieds does not yet benefit from the 1988 cars' improved suspension, but thanks to its low, low 47,000-mile odometer reading, it looks to be in tip-top shape. The automatic transmission is just the three-speed affair, though, rendering the V6 car here more of a cruiser than a fiery hot canyon carver. Perhaps that has contributed to its good condition, along with the lack of possibly leaky T-tops. Could the Fiero have aged better than your Hall & Oates tapes?

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
