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. |

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium
Fri, Jun 12 2015Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

Rent the 1967 Pontiac GTO from the XxX films now on Turo
Tue, Jan 10 2017The process of renting a car usually ranges from mildly annoying to "I'm calling corporate to get you fired." Plainly, it sucks, but sometimes you're left with no alternative. Turo, a peer-to-peer carsharing network, has created what's essentially the AirBnB for cars. Like AirBnB, the quality and variety of the rides varies based on location. If you're in Tucson, Ariz., in the next week, go check out this 1967 Pontiac GTO convertible before the release of XxX: The Return of Xander Cage. Promotions and marketing aside, this is still the opportunity to drive one of the original muscle cars. It's not clear if this is an original GTO or a Pontiac Tempest that was converted, but does it really matter? Old cars never drive as well as you hope, so, as long as it looks and sounds awesome, who cares? The owner listed on Turo is Xander C., Vin Diesel's character from the XxX franchise. This is the car that was used in the original 2002 film, and from the photos it appears to be in better shape than many other movie cars. The exterior is mostly stock, with some slight modifications to the lighting, wheels, exhaust, and trim, with the addition of a funky looking hood scoop that the listing claims shoots flames. It's not clear if it functions as an actual intake because there aren't any notes about what rests under the hood. The listing does ask for premium fuel, so more than likely it's some variation of a high-compression V8. Inside, the dashboard looks like someone raided the AutoZone accessory aisle. There are gauges, dials, toggle switches, and readouts galore. The listing also claims the Goat is packing a rocket launcher and a weapons stash under the seat. $999 per day isn't cheap, but it's less than you'd pay for a day with one of the rent-an-exotic shops you see in Los Angeles or New York. If you're not in Tucson or the price is a little too steep, Turo has what it's dubbed the Adrenaline Collection. The name may be hyperbole, but the lineup of cars is actually really solid. A quick glance reveals a 2015 Lamborghini Huracan, 2001 Ferrari 360 Spider, and a 1969 Jaguar E-Type. The car list keeps expanding, so if this proves popular, look for more cool stuff in the future.
