1966 Pontiac Gto Royal Bobcat Replica (milt Shornack Race Car) 1/4 Mile Legends on 2040-cars
United States
|
DESCRIPTION Royal Pontiac of Royal Oak, Michigan was the epicenter of Pontiac performance for a unique decade that began in the late 1950s. The most famous Royal product of that period was the Bobcat tuning kit that transformed the GTO into an instant drag strip terror. No-one worked the Bobcat magic better than Royal’s Performance Service Manager, the legendary Milt Schornack, who prepared a seemingly endless parade of Royal-sponsored racers including the most famous of them all, the 1966 Royal GeeTO Tiger. Milt Schornack has personally overseen the construction of this fabulous replica of the original 1966 Royal GeeTO Tiger, and the result is a roaring success. Instantly identifiable by its Tiger Gold paint and Royal livery, the car uses a Bobcat-tuned 389 CI Tri Power Ram Air V-8, Hurst-shifter with Line Lock and a Safe-T-Track positraction rear end with boxed control arms, hooking up through M&H Racemaster “cheater” slicks on rare Hurst wheels. For fans of the original Royal GeeTO Tiger, it’s 1966 all over again! HIGHLIGHTS I bought this car from the gentleman who won it at the Mecum auction in January, 2011. This car realized $55,000.00 (plus 6% Buyer's Premium; Total Sale Price of $58,300.00) at the Mecum auction on January, 2011 in Kissimmee, Florida.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
