1967 Pontiac Gto on 2040-cars
Northampton, Massachusetts, United States
|
For sale is a professionally restored 1967 GTO. I have owned
this car since 1986 and am the second owner. The car has been adult owned and
maintained since bought new. I have not driven the car in the last 10 years
other than to get it inspected. The car was never driven in the winter since I have
owned it, and only occasionally driven in the rain. I am thinning the heard, too busy with work and other responsibilities,
and decided the car belongs in the hands of someone who will appreciate it as
much as I do, but also enjoy driving it. 09C E STS 67-24217 FRA
248 BODY TR 223-B N-H
PAINT W 2LGR 5Y BODY BY FISHER The car has OEM 5 spoke mag steel wheels with stainless
steel trim rings, Hurst 4 speed Muncie A22 “rock crusher” transmission, 326CI engine, and Carter 4 barrel (quadrajet) carburetor.
The emblems note 400CI engine (which this car should have). I questioned the original owner when I bought the car asking when the engine was replaced. He claimed he never replaced the motor and that the 326CI engine was the engine in the car when he bought it new. I had the motor rebuilt when I bought the car in 1986 at Warren’s Automotive, in Palmer, Massachusetts. This included rebuilt heads, new piston and rings, cam chain, main and rod bearings. The rebuilt motor has approximately 40,000 miles on it. The radiator was replaced with a 4-core radiator. I also have an aftermarket (Bob’s Pontiac) fan shroud that goes with the car, but I never installed. The rubber boot for the shift is also torn, and I have a new (Bob's Pontiac) rubber replacement boot that goes with the car, but also never installed. I had the car painted in 1986 by Ricks Auto body in
Springfield, MA. The entire car was stripped to bare metal, windshield and rear
window removed, interior removed, front fenders grill etc., removed to eliminate masking errors and provide OEM paint finish quality. Car was
checked/measured on their frame machine to confirm no prior accidents. While at Ricks Auto body, the rear window pan was replaced and the passenger side front windshield post was repaired where the post and firewall connect. All bodywork was professionally done by Ricks Auto Body, Springfield MA. The interior is original, black and in good to very good
condition. There is a small hole in the headliner over the rear right back seat
from a mouse. This spring while washing the interior, the passenger bucket seat
button to relaase the seat back to let the passenger in the back got stuck.
Probably will need some penetrating oil to loosen it up. The instrument cluster has the stock tachometer and gauges. The original owner disconnected the gauges and installed an under dash SUN water, oil pressure, amp cluster. The original owner also installed a manual choke lever under the dash near the ashtray. The car is missing the windshield washer fluid reservoir. It did not have one when I purchased the car, and I never put one in, as I truly only drove it on nice days. The overall body and paint are in very good to excellent condition. There are a few minor road rock nicks in the paint, and a few small scrapes on the right front (headlight) quarter panel and the left rear quarter panel from parking lot bozos who had to park near me…no matter how far away I parked from people. In 2012 I had a new stainless steel exhaust system custom bent and installed, replaced the rear brake lines (Teflon brake lines), rebuilt the Carb with a Carter OEM rebuild kit. In 2013 I replaced the power steering pump, and also replaced the alternator and power steering belts. Not looking for tire kickers. You know that the car is worth. Serious only who appreciate a true American muscle car and will enjoy driving her for years to come. |

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven
Wed, Feb 8 2023POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods. However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows. Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS. Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence. Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
