1966 PONTIAC GTO CONVERTIBLE, #'s MATCHING, TRI-POWER, 4-SPEED, PHS DOCS - Occasionally, something rare and desirable comes up for sale on E-Bay, such as this GTO. I am the third owner of this "Goat". We have owned it about 5-years. It has always resided within 30-miles of my home. I have known about the car since about 1976. This is one of the most solid GTOs of this era you will ever find that has not been restored or made into a hot rod. This car retains all of its original body panels. The floors including trunk and the frame are excellent. All of the moldings and emblems are original. The interior including the carpet, door panels, seats, dash, steering wheel, and console, are all very nice. It is hard to believe it is 47-years old! All of the glass is good; the windows roll-up and down well; all gauges, lights, signals, horn, wipers, heater, and radio work properly. The power convertible top is black and looks nice, although the back window is badly yellowed and needs replaced. The top goes up and down fine. The current top was installed in the late 70's. About that same time, the paint color was changed from its original Reef Turquoise to Black. Yes, this Black paint is the same from 1978. Although far from perfect, it is still very presentable "as is". The bumpers are vintage 1966.

The engine is the original #'s matching code WS, 360 HP, 389 ci that it was "born with". It was rebuilt to stock specs with a .040 overbore. It still has its original 093 heads, distributor, and exhaust manifolds. The carbs, air cleaner valve covers are the originals. The 4-speed transmission is correct, but not #'s matching. Original is in-hand, but it needs rebuilt due to a busted tail shaft in the late 70's. The original shifter is still in place and works fine, but is a little stiff (time for rebuild). The rear is original with its 3:55 posi.

The doors, trunk, and hood open and shut very nice and have excellent gaps; door vent chrome is nice. Repainted the trunk floor and installed the new mat. The correct jack is still in place. The exhaust is the original style with quiet mufflers as original. Added the Ralleye I wheels and Coker redlines. Originally, it had whitewalls and poverty caps, which I do not have. This car starts, runs, drives and stops excellent. Please take note - this car has very few options - No power steering or power brakes. Actually, it steers pretty easily and the brakes (rebuilt) work great. There are no unusual noises or rattles when driving this car. It has 94,736 miles which I am sure are original. Although, the second owner doesn't recall, it appears there may have been slight damage to the left fender, probably minor.

If you are seriously interested in this rare "goat", please call me and let's talk. Although, not a show car, it's certainly not anything to be ashamed of. This car can be reliably driven cross-country. Recently, drove it on a 5-hour road trip thru the mountains of WV with no issues. Partial muscle car trades may be considered, or a 1961-1964 Caddy Convertible, but please no rust buckets.

For further inspection, you or a representative may inspect the car on a lift in my shop. Clear title in my name in-hand. PHS docs, original sales invoice, protecto plate, build order sheet, manuals, dated build tags are all in-hand.

GTO's have probably been the most stable automobile investment of all time. They don't get any better than this 1966, tri-power, 4-speed, convertible plus documentation. Safe, dry, indoor storage will be provided for up to 30-days. Full payment is expected within 7-days of auction close. I reserve the right to end auction early. Any questions, please call me at 304-261-1643 - no text please.

Jay Leno tries out a 1970 Pontiac GTO Judge that looks factory fresh

Tue, Jan 31 2017

The latest machine to show up on Jay Leno's Garage is arguably the most iconic Pontiac GTO, the 1970 Judge. The example here is a radically red model and features all of the nifty Judge features, such as the mega-size rear wing, hood-mounted tachometer, and ram air hood scoop. The latter of which had a panel in the hood that would open up at full throttle to let in all that cool air from outside. The car is owned by the Wade Kawasaki, president of Coker Tires, a company that specializes in reproducing classic tires. Not surprisingly, his GTO features a set of the company's Firestone Wide Oval tires. That particular tire would have come with the car originally, but these new versions are built like modern radial tires, rather than the slippery bias-ply originals. The tires are indicative of how Kawasaki restored the rest of his Judge. Everything has been taken back to factory-spec. It has a stock, 400-cubic inch V8 that makes a supposedly underrated 366 horsepower, and it's complete with the chrome valve covers and foam intake seal. The tires are accompanied by exact replica GTO Judge wheels. The car even has the true, original interior. Somehow, the upholstery, dash, and other interior components survived in excellent condition. Check out the video above for more details on this flashy muscle car, as well as some reminiscing about the "good ol' days," and some history on the origins of the car's name. Related Video:

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds

Tue, Mar 29 2016

For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
