Because of this, GM finally gave the GTO its own model line versus being a performance package option for the Lemans model series. Also in 1966, Pontiac was already developing a new engine for the 1967 production year making this the last of the 389ci V8 examples ever made! Moreover, it would be the last GTO available with a tri-power carburetion option for the horsepower hungry buyers! The stacked headlights, new aggressive grill and louvered taillights made these cars as sinister as they iconic to the muscle car collectors! Features on this 1966 Pontiac GTO Hardtop Coupe include numbers matching “YS” engine block, correct intake, correct Carter AFB 4034S 4-barrel carburetion, correct code “093” heads, Harrison radiator, factory Custom air conditioning (R134a conversion with proper POA valve upgrade and blows cold), upgraded 14” Rally I wheels wrapped in white letter radial tires, factory Wonder Touch power steering, upgraded power brakes, factory automatic with center console, rally gauges, correct color code L-L: Marina Turquoise exterior, correct interior code 220-B: Turquoise Strato-Bucket seat interior, with original AM radio, all Soft Ray tinted glass, 3.08 highway axle ratio, deluxe steering wheel, deluxe seatbelts, and correct chrome under hood air cleaner & valve covers!! This car sold new from Charles Vincel Pontiac here in St. Louis, MO and later found its way to the former owner for the past 22 years located in Southeastern Missouri. It’s been wonderfully maintained and cared for since new! It was under his care when it received a very comprehensive, professional restoration that began in 2004 and finished in approximately 2011. This included body-off rebuild of the chassis, body itself, and complete drivetrain. Extensive effort was made to make the car very showable. All correct original components were used, or the best replacements available. You will find all new chrome and bright work, all new suspension, new 2.5” exhaust, all new interior that included seat foams, upholstery, dash pad, headliner, door panels, floor carpeting and underlayment, and so much more. The air conditioning works, new Pertronix ignition installed, power brakes added, along with radial tires to improve the road manners and drivability. The engine was professionally overhauled by Performance Specialties based in Poplar Bluff, MO in December 2009. They hot-tanked & cleaned the block, bored & honed each cylinder, and line-honed the head mating surface. New brass freeze plugs were installed. The crank was turned 10/10 and fully polished. All internals were balanced with external damper & flywheel. New factory rated flat-top pistons, rings, rod bearing, main bearings, new cam & bearings, oil shaft, oil pump, and oil screen, gaskets, etc. are all new inside. The heads were resurfaced, received a 3-angle valve job, and new bronze valve guides, and valve springs installed to tolerate today's unleaded fuels. All correct date-coded components from the professionally rebuilt carburetor to the exhaust manifolds remain with this numbers matching vehicle. Today it shows only 80,129 miles on the odometer, of which approximately 500 are on the fresh engine! All receipts dating back to 2003, reproduction window sticker, & PHS documentation are included. A very fun car to drive and super solid throughout!! Please feel free to call with any additional questions or to schedule a time to inspect this vehicle in person! Thanks for looking!

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe. While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant. Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.

General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.

Sadly, many brands have disappeared off of the automotive landscape over the decades. Many people have imagined over the years of restarting defunct automotive brands. A few of those dreamers even made prototypes to shop around and to established connections with investors. But, alas poor Yorick, however valiant an effort, many brands are shuttered for good, rarely to be heard of again except in historical tales or maybe seen in car shows. So, what do you do when you win the lottery? Not just any lottery... In fact, it is a lottery that takes care of you and your loved ones for life? You and your family don't have to work, ever. You can give to charity, pay other people to do those projects that you've been putting off, and so on and so on. But, you're still a Car Nut right? There begins the conundrum. Do you buy and fix cars, new premium cars, old muscle cars, or classics, or maybe, just maybe, do you buy the rights to an old departed automotive brand and bring it back to life. Hmm. Which brand? The problem with the old Pontiac was that it was an additional badge engineered vehicle in the portfolio of GM. The meant the brand was diluted by competition from its own parent company, in addition to the competition outside the camp. So, if it were to come back, it would have to be different. Yet, it would still need to keep true to its roots at the same time in order to wake up its armies of existing fans. Even those that aren't fans of Pontiac cannot deny that Pontiac has a long heritage of legendary vehicles. So do Packard, and Studebaker, and others. So, why would a lottery winner choose Pontiac as the marque to bring back? That's easy! Pontiac's long heritage is closely tied to performance vehicles that made many of a teenager drool. Even more important though is that Pontiac is still fresh on people's minds. The brand itself is only recently departed. So, Boomers, Generation X, and Millenials all would all be able to identify with it as opposed to brand names that disappeared multiple decades ago and that now have a more limited appeal. The return of Pontiac couldn't just be another launch of a badge engineered vehicle. It would have to be performance oriented, yes. But, it would have to be unique in some way, a niche brand. What niche though? Look at the automotive landscape now and you see that Tesla is the one out there grabbing at the wide open electric niche with success.
