1967 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars

Year:1967 Mileage:7400
Location:

Salisbury, North Carolina, United States

Salisbury, North Carolina, United States

I purchased this car to fulfill one of my dreams.  I always wanted one and I have enjoyed working on it and driving it.  But I also have a growing family and will need to buy a larger house.  So, I need to turn this car into some cash.  I will be listing this locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction if I find a buyer.

The Good:
This is a solid, complete, virtually rust free car.  The numbers matching 400 runs smooth and strong.  It has a new Edelbrock 600 CFM electric choke carb.  I also have a holley double pumper no choke that will go with the car.  The TH400 transmission is not numbers matching, but period correct, and it shifts great also.  I believe it has a 3.55 rear end which is not original to the car.  It has a new aluminum radiator and runs reliably cool.  I also have the original Harrison radiator to go with the car as well.  Much of the work I have done to the car was to improve reliability and safety.  First, I replaced the lap belts in the front with a 3 point retractables and put lap belts in the rear, all with period correct GM buckles.  I replaced the 4 drums with power disk brakes on all corners.  It stops like a new car, maybe better.  I also rewired the car with an American Autowire Power 20 kit.  At the same time, I added power door locks, a viper alarm, keyless entry, and remote start system, and power trunk release.  The door locks are centrallized, meaning there are no switches.  When you move one door stopper, the other moves with it.  I could not bring myself to cut the door panels to add switches.  I also added a Retrosound radio with USB (USB is in the glove box) and Polk Audio speakers all around.  The rear 6x9s fit in the back deck and new custom kick panels hold 6 1/2s up front.  I slightly relocated the parking brake to keep it functional with the new speakers.  I still have the original kick panels if you want to take them out.  Dakota Digital analog VHX gauges in the cluster are new and very nice and clean.  While rewiring the car, I also put in a new battery, a 140 amp one wire alternator, and replaced the starter with high performance guts.  This is a factory AC car, but the AC is not hooked up.  There is a134A compressor on the car, but I did not make it that far.  And now I never will.  It looks new, but it is untested.  Everything else electrically works as it should.  I also have a brand new semi custom car cover to go along with it and some miscellaneous parts, such as an extra fan and fan clutch in case you want to swap out the flex fan.  The interior shows very well with no rips or tears in the seats, panels, or carpet.  It may not be perfect, but it is very good.  The paint is good but not excellent.  My goal was eventually to put a very high quality paint job on this car, but never made it that far.  I would say this car is a 10 footer.  American Racing wheels and the tires have about 65% tread left.  The car also has air shocks in the rear.  This is a very good and smooth riding car that goes and stops well.

The Bad:  This is an original vinyl top car. There are some small spots starting to form under the top.  They are not growing in size as the top is still sealed fairly well, but it will probably need to be replaced soon.

The Ugly:  The headliner needs some work.  I replaced the old smelly insulation in the roof with some foil type insulation from a hardware store.  It keeps the heat down and got rid of the old car smell, but I did not do a professional job replacing the headliner.  It is there and complete so maybe someone could do a better job than me.  Headliners are not that expensive anyway, just not at the top of my list.  The mileage on the car is unknown.  It showed 6700 miles on the odometer when I purchased it and that is what I loaded in the DD gauges when I powered them up.  It has about 7400 or so miles now.  The hood does not close fully at the back.  It may need new hinges or just an adjustment, not sure

I also have the 67 Pontiac Service Manual and PHS documentation to go along with the car.  I am sure there are other miscellaneous items as well that I am forgetting to mention.

I have more pictures and can answer questions upon request.

Porsche Boxster Spyder to get GT3's 4.0-liter flat six?

Sun, Feb 4 2018

It's been a merry-go-round the past few months, the rumormill focused on what will power the next Porsche Boxster Spyder. First came hearsay of a flat-six going into the special edition of a model line known for its turbocharged four-cylinder engines. Then came tattling that the flat-six in question was the naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter from the 911 GT3. A couple of weeks ago we wrote " we'd be surprised if Porsche packed anything other than a turbocharged flat-four under the skin." But Autocar has a new report that, indeed, a downtuned version of the 500-horsepower 4.0-liter from the GT3's rump will move to the Boxster Spyder's midsection. The Autocar piece follows a Wheels magazine article from last November, and the prediction isn't outrageous. When Car and Driver reviewed the last Boxster Spyder, it wrote, "the hand-me-down six comes from the older 911 Carrera S, not to be confused with the new turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six that powers the refreshed 911." If we can believe a recent report from Automobile about the 992-series 911 due later this year, the same thing is happening: The 991.2-series GT3 bequeaths its powerplant to the smaller sibling, and the 992-series GT3 moves to a 3.8-liter, twin-turbo flat-six with around 550 hp. Autocar quotes Andreas Preuninger, the Porsche engineer leading the development of all of these wunderkinds, saying of the Boxster earlier this year, "Natural aspiration is one of our main USPs. ... [We] think we can achieve throttle response and immediacy a little bit better with an atmospheric high-revving engine than any kind of turbo." We'll guess that means, by inference, that the GT3 is about to age out of naturally-aspirated university. The limited-edition Boxster Spyder might carry the torch with the 4.0-liter, with output somewhere around 430 hp. The Cayman GT4 could do the same. Or, who knows, an evolution of the 375-hp, 3.8-liter flat-six in the previous Boxster Spyder might burble out of left field. We expect to see the Boxster Spyder late this year. Until then, we'll wait to see what the merry-go-round says next time the Zuffenhausen horse comes around.

Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.

Junkyard Gem: 2008 Pontiac G5 Coupe

Sun, Apr 9 2023

In the grim early days of the Great Recession, the situation at GM's Pontiac Division didn't feel so great but there was some cause for optimism. The Solstice still had a certain glow, the Holden Commodore-based G8 had just arrived, and vehicle shoppers could stride into their local Pontiac showrooms and choose from eight different models bearing the iconic arrowhead badge. Yes, there were still new Torrents and Grand Prix and Vibes for sale in 2008, and of course the Cavalier-twin Sunfire had been replaced by the Cobalt-twin G5 by that time. Here's one of those G5s, found in a Colorado Springs car graveyard. It wasn't long after this car was built that everything went to hell for Pontiac. In April of 2009, GM announced that the Pontiac Division would be "phased out" over the next few years. Just to drive home the point, GM itself filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy five weeks later. GM had already offed Oldsmobile—a marque dating back to 1897, making it nearly 30 years Pontiac's senior—five years earlier, so everybody knew there would be no reprieve in this case. Just to confuse everybody, Pontiac dealers offered a G3-badged Chevy Aveo (aka Daewoo Kalos) to sell alongside the G5 for 2009, but by 2010 there were just two new Pontiac models still standing in the United States: the G6 and the Vibe. Just over 70,000 G5s were sold in the United States during the 2007-2009 model years, making these cars fairly rare. The Cobalt/G5 ignition-switch fiasco of the mid-2010s really hammered their resale value at the time. Sometimes the definition of "Gem" refers to historical value, not the happier kind. Speaking of ignition switches, the key is still in this one. That generally means that a junkyard vehicle is a dealership trade-in or insurance total that couldn't sell at auction. This one is a base model, which listed at $15,675 (about $22,040 in 2023 dollars). The snazzier G5 GT started at $19,850 ($27,911 now) that year. The engine in this car is a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-banger rated at 148 horsepower and 152 pound-feet (the GT got a 2.4 with 171 hp/167 lb-ft). A five-speed manual was standard equipment, but the buyer of this car paid extra for the automatic. GM stuck these little "Mark of Excellence" badges on the fenders of its vehicles starting in 2005, then ditched the idea in 2009. I have vivid memories of this logo from the seatbelt buttons in my parents' 1973 Sportvan Beauville.
