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.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
