This decodes as a 1964 Pontiac LeMans GTO that was built at Pontiac, MI during the

1st week of February 1964. The car was finished in Grenadier Red (V-2), with a Black

Vinyl Top.

The interior is finished in Black Vinyl (214). The car was built with a Muncie 4

Speed Transmission that was assembled February 4 1964. The engine block was cast

on July 10, 1964. It is a 1964 389 Engine that is not the original unit to the car. The

intake manifold is from a 1963 Tri Power Application. The heads are correct to the

vehicle. The Hurst Wheels that on the car are original examples.

Overall Condition

This is a restored 1964 Pontiac LeMans GTO. This is an older restoration that is now in

need of light freshening. The restoration when it was performed was very complete, and

was done to a high standard. The restoration was performed on a very good example

that has been finished in correct colors. The trim tag on the car is original and correct to

the vehicle. The body on the car is very good condition. The floors are excellent. The

body panels are excellent. The paint is very good. The paint will need some very good

detail work to bring it up a level. All of the bright work is correct and original. The

downfall to the car is that the restoration is older and it appears to have been poorly

stored. It’s not bad, however if you look at the hardware, shocks, clamps, bolts, etc.,

evidence of corrosion exists. The car can be easily freshened, and this example is

certainly worthy of the efforts. The engine compartment is very correct in appearance.

The engine block has been replaced at some point. The engine in the vehicle is a 389

from 1964 that was cast in July, 5 months after this cars assembly. The intake manifold

is a 1963 part number. The engine compartment needs some detail work, mainly

exhaust manifolds and cylinder heads to be refinished. The interior on the car is very

correct and is in very good condition. The components all appear to be original and

complete. The car was ran and moved in close quarters during the inspection.

Everything appeared to work as designed. The car was inspected on a lift and all

mechanical items were inspected. Everything appeared to be in good operating

condition. This is an example that was at least a very strong #2 condition car when

completed and now has just aged. This car can be taken back to let level with well

focused efforts targeted to details that have fallen in condition due to time and exposure.

The car has a great set of original Hurst wheels that have not been restored. They are

very good originals and add value to this car.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
