1967, Pontiac, Gto, 4 Speed, 455 on 2040-cars
Guyton, Georgia, United States
|
I am selling this 1967, GTO, 455, 4 spd car. There is a story about this car that needs to be told for anyone interested in purchasing it. First off, IT DOES HAVE A CLEAR TITLE. It IS A 242 VIN CODE car. I first heard about this car back in Feb 2014. It belonged to a guy that my sister is married to. They called my father needing money saying they had this car they were going to sell. He called me because I know A-bodies (I have 2 Chevelles, and have had probably a dozen in my life). I looked at the car and purchased it because they needed money, and I had thoughts of putting the BUCKET SEATS and the complete 4 spd assembly into my Chevelle I am currently doing an LS swap in. I thought, I would just sell the 455, use those components, and sell the rest of the car. On March 8th, 2014, I went to get the car. It was hard getting this car home because it had been pushed into the owners back yard 20 years ago, which happened to be on the side of a mountain in North Georgia. I wasn’t told this up front. This was VERY costly in itself. It took 7 hours to extract the car and get it loaded. We ended up breaking a tow truck’s boom winch and cable in the process, and used a second tow truck. After I got it home, on March 9th, 2014, and I verified the VIN was truly a GTO, and I realized it was originally an A/C car with POWER BRAKES, I thought maybe I would keep it for myself, or I still had my back up plan with the seats and 4spd. My wife informed me she loves MY Chevelle with the original bench seat so I decided not to use those components. The car has sat in the backyard since then, and the grass has started growing. I don’t plan to keep it, and since I am doing a aframe off on my original 65 Chevelle Wagon and an LS swap in my 72 Chevelle, this one would sit far too long. So, I am selling it. What I know about the car is. The owner had hydroplaned on his way home from work one night, and hit another car not once, but twice while spinning. He put Lemans front fender, and hood on it, and am upper grill valance. The spin caused him to hit with the rear bumper on the second hit, which (look at the pictures) caused the quarter panels to shift, but NOT even break the tail lights. I don’t know how, but that’s how it is now. THE BODY: Needs both rear quarters, a trunk pan, and rear wheel houses. The floor boards aren’t completely gone but have rust. The drivers door has rust at the bottom rear door skin at the seam. The grills and bumpers aren’t with the car. I have no idea where they went to. I do have the lower rocker panel stainless for both sides, all the glass is good, as is most of the trim. The doors open and close well, and the gaps on them are still good, which means the rest of the body can be indexed off that gap. The INTERIOR: The original front bucket seats and the original rear seat are in unbelievable condition to me. I included pictures. It didn’t come with a console, but it does still have the HURST SHIFTER installed. The dash has the RALLY PACK, and AIR CONDITIONING CONTROLS. The dash is in great shape also. The MECHANICALS: It has the COMPLETE drive train in it. The original 400 was replaced long ago with a 1971 Bonneville 455. That’s the last of the high HP 455s, which was rated at 280hp. In 1972 they 455s went to 200 hp. This si IMPORTANT. I removed the radiator and fan so I could gain access to the crankshaft bolt to try to turn the motor over without cutting myself. GOOD NEWS. The motor does turn over with just a 1/2 inch ratchet and socket. The original 10 bolt is in the car also. The original owner (which I got the car from) had put 15 inch TRANS AM SNOWFLAKE wheels on it. They actually don’t look that bad, but I preferred the Rally wheels (of which I have 3). The radiator, fan, and a NEW OFFENHOUSER 4bbl aluminum intake are in the trunk, but I cant get it open now, and just broke the lock. I don’t want to pry on it since the deck lid id still in good shape. Ok, I hope I have told all the story. If I remember anything else I will add it to the auction. My reserve is VERY LOW as compared to what the individual parts would cast if sold separately, but I don’t feel like parting this car out. Just an FYI tidbit, the RESERVE PRICE is set very low. The 455, 4 speed, and especially the bucket seats together are worth more than the reserve is set. |

Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac 6000 LE
Sat, Dec 2 2017Sibling to the Chevrolet Celebrity and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, the Pontiac 6000 sold pretty well during the early-to-middle 1980s, but had been relegated to the dealership bargain bin and fleet-car cul-de-sac by the time of Operation Desert Shield. Here's a final-year-of-manufacture 6000 LE that I photographed in an Arizona self-service wrecking yard. This car was sold new in Arizona, and it will be crushed in the same state, 26 years later. The LE was the cheapest trim level for the 6000 in 1991, but the original purchaser of this car sprang for a few options. For example, instead of the utterly miserable 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, this car packs the 3.1-liter V6. That meant 140 horsepower instead of 110, plus an engine note more like a vacuum cleaner sucking up a spaghetti spill than an ailing blender chewing on walnuts. AM, FM, and cassette. Not only that, but the auto-reverse feature meant that your mixtape cassette wouldn't stop right in the middle of your favorite Roxette tune. This content is hosted by a third party.

Even the wretched Daewoo-built Pontiac LeMans gets more screen time than the forgotten 6000 in this 1991 TV ad featuring the voice of Captain Picard.

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds
Tue, Mar 29 2016For 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:
