1965 Pontiac GTO For Sale

This car has been in a heated garage since 1999. I have owned for less then a year with initial intentions to restoring it and finishing the restoration that was already started when I purchased it. I have put $1500.00 into the car to get it roadworthy after its long sleep in the last 4 months with anticipation of keeping it. My life path has made new plans for me and I already have a '66 so thats where I'm at...
This car is complete and prior to 1999 the previous owner had done a lot of work and and purchased a lot of new parts from Ames and Year One with intentions of restoring it himself with the help of professionals. It is a perfect restoration candidate. It has low miles and and only a couple of owners. To the best of my knowledge it has been in Utah since new. It starts right up and sounds great. It drives pretty tight like a low mileage car should. It goes through all gears flawlessly. I replaced clutch recently. It stops well. All of the wheel cylinders and rear brake lines replaced. It has new brake shoes on the front and new master cylinder. It has all new shocks and all new springs. Front end rebuilt by previous owners. The wheels and beauty rings / center caps appear to be original. Tires are in good shape, 15 inch. New Gas tank, sending unit and fuel line. Recent tune up and tripower gone through. New battery. It has new mufflers and tailpipes. Heater core replaced and heater works great. Does not overheat. Refurbished orig. radiator.  I have driven this car around town and also have cruised comfortably on highway at 75mph. I have a current Utah inspection.  All lights and signals work nicely. The previous owner told me that while he had it in the '90's the 389 has been rebuilt along with( the 4 speed and posi rear end as well! It appears to be the case when looked over by mechanic. Power steering no power brakes. Includes extra set of tri-power heads...(Stamped 77)

Paint appears to have the original paint on majority of the car with other parts that have been repainted. There are a few misc doinks but nothing major. There is rust in rear quarters and a lil on bottoms of doors but other then that pretty solid.(see Pics) The trunk is solid and the rails and floors are solid. Have not found use of any major bondo repairs. Chrome numbers are straight but oxidized in places. Grill is nice. Doors shut nice and firm with no sag.

Interior is original but carpet has been replaced. It has seat belts. Headliner is near perfect. A couple of misc tears in driver seat. Rear seat is beautiful. New rear speaker assembly. Dash is complete and all gauges work accurately. New glove box insert.** Extra set of near perfect black door panels included without the aftermarket speaker holes cut in them. All Glass is good with no chips. Wipers and pump work good. Wood wheel is in nice shape. Includes all handles, knobs and switches.  Only thing missing is console:(.

I plan on posting specific pictures upon request. Please feel free to contact me directly for additional questions or any concerns. I plan on getting all of the numbers(block,manifold, heads) listed on description on Monday. I am motivated seller but I'm not giving it away. Its a special car and great opportunity to restore. I reserve the right to end auction early and sell locally outside ebay if someone is serious. Car is available for inspection. Located in Salt Lake City.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

Burt Reynolds' personal 1977 Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit for sale

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Smokey and the Bandit is one of those quintessential 1970s car movies with insane premises but tons of fun. After all, the basic plot of the film is about distracting the police to transport cases of Coors beer cross country. While Burt Reynolds receives top billing, the real star is definitely his black Pontiac Trans-Am. Now, there's a chance to posses one of these muscle machines actually owned by Reynolds, and it's already proving quite popular. The car is a '77 Trans-Am with the famous, gold screaming chicken proudly on the hood. However, while this is a piece of Reynolds memorabilia, it's not really part of cinematic history. According to the listing, this example was used as a promotional vehicle and then given to Reynolds with a title showing him as a previous owner for proof. Still, there's 400-cubic-inch (6.55-liter) V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. A plaque inside the driver's door proclaims the car as a "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds," and there's a Bandit logo on the door. This is just one lot of Julien Auction's sale of Reynolds memorabilia on December 11 and 12 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Bidding is already running online, and the Trans-Am is up to $130,000, as of this writing. For the true Reynolds fanatic, the auction also lists the motorized stagecoach from his wedding to Loni Anderson. It rides built on an International Harvester Scout frame with an interior reportedly from Dolly Parton.

GM's got 107 problems and NHTSA's No. 1

Thu, Mar 6 2014

General Motors' problems with its recall of roughly 1.6-million vehicles continue to mount. Now that it has emerged that GM knew about the problem since at least 2004 but waited to recall vehicles until February 2014, regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have begun a much deeper investigation. NHTSA has sent a 27-page survey to GM that includes 107 questions about the timeline of what led up to the recall, and it has until April 3 to reply. This isn't a simple, multiple-choice test. Automotive News believes that hundreds of pages could be required to answer some of the queries. NHTSA says that it is still investigating GM's response to the recall. "We are a data-driven organization, and we will take whatever action is appropriate based on where our findings lead us," said NHTSA in a statement on its website. If found liable, the automaker could face a fine as high as $35 million and even possible criminal charges, according to Bloomberg. NHTSA's questions include a detailed explanation of GM's examination process; how it will improve the process; why a planned redesign of the cars' key in 2005 wasn't implemented; and specific data on each complaint it received. According to Bloomberg, NHTSA also has records that show the company had a meeting with regulators to discuss the airbag failure in a Chevrolet Cobalt in 2007. New GM CEO Mary Barra has also hired an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation about what happened. It will include questioning company employees who were involved with the process from the start. The recall stems from faulty ignition switches that shut off the car while driving, and if it occurs the airbags deactivate. Thirteen deaths and 23 crashes have been caused by the problem, according to Bloomberg. If you would like to peruse NHTSA's entire questionnaire for GM, it can be viewed here.
