1965 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Fredericksburg, Virginia, United States
|
I purchased this car in DEC 2011 from a NASCAR mechanic who works for Joe Gibbs Racing... He purchased the car a few years before, and completed a frame-off concours restoration. The car only had 46,401 original miles on it before it was restored. Every part on this car has been restored, rebuilt or replaced with quality reproduction or NOS parts. - Restored to the original color of Palmetto Green Metalic with black Cordova vinyl top, and black bucket seat interior - Original Engine Block, Transmission and Rear End - 389 ci / 360 hp. - Tri-Power - Muncie 4 Speed and Console - Custom Sports Wood Steering Wheel - Rally Gauge cluster and Tachometer w/Padded Dash - California Only... Positive Crankcase Ventilation - Saf-T-Track Differential - Wheel discs -Custom, w/7.75 x 14 Red Line Tires - Wonder touch power steering and drum Brakes - Custom Retractable seat belts - Pontiac Historical Documentation - Window Sticker - Dealership Owner's Manual and original literature A former trailer queen, I now professionally store and maintain the car in a climate controlled museum like environment , only driving it (gently) on special occasions. The car was built the 4th week of June 1965 in Freemont, CA. The car was featured on the cover of the FEB 2013 GTOAA Magazine, and has won several car shows in the recent past: 1. GM Nationals Invitational, Carlisle, PA (2012) 2. POCA Convention (2011) Jr. Gold Award - 392 out of 400 points 3. Pontiacs in Pigeon Forge Tennessee (2011) Best of Show Stock Class 4. AMES Performance Pontiac Nationals, Norwalk, OH (2010) Best in Class - GTO
I've enjoyed the car, but I'm ready to sell so I can focus on other passions. This is truly the Holy Grail of GTOs and is museum quality. I have restoration receipts totaling 125K, but my reserve is not even close to that price considering I've been able to enjoy the car for the past few years. I am not writing much in the description section as the pictures are worth a thousand words. The car can be seen in Fredericksburg, VA and I am available to answer serious inquiries... dreamers please look and enjoy, but don't waste either of our time just wanting to "talk" about the car. I can arrange for professional shipping at the buyer's expense.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years
Mon, Dec 17 2018An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.
