2 Door 1966 Pontiac Gto - Phs Certified - Black on 2040-cars
Los Alamitos, California, United States
1966 Pontiac GTO
4 Speed Carburetor 4 speed Muncie transmission with Hurst shifter PHS Historic Services has proven that the VIN is in fact a true GTO and I have the paperwork to prove it. The Good - Starts right up and sounds amazing. Engine runs great. Interior is clean with minor issues. Body is straight. Was told from previous owner that the engine was "bored and stroked" and thus this car is very strong. It can "peel out" when shifting from neutral but driven gently it will not. New chrome bumpers New Retro 5 Spoke Wheels New Cooper Trend Setter Tires - Mounted and Balanced New fan put in New headlight bezels Updated larger exhaust - The car sounds strong. New battery Updated radiator Rebuilt and updated steering column New steering wheel - Wood New shifter knob Wires cleaned up in the engine bay Fluids topped off New floor chrome step plates when entering from door New hood scoop Newish / Updated Interior black headliner and seats Newer / Updated Fuel tank Newer / Updated 3" Exhaust New parts in the trunk (Not installed but purchased) - Interior door and window handles / cranks Essex Carpet Sound deadener Arm rests Interior door panels Performance Dual radiator fans - used for a little bit but we put on a new original piece. Choice is up to you. *I may return those parts not installed for money if the new owner doesn't plan on using them - As I need the money.* Work needed - Body is straight but has one dent in the back left corner the size of a golf ball Sanding and a nice paint job needed - it is primer black now. Was red before it was black. Light rust in a couple spots that need sanding and a couple spots of bubbles on the roof that need sanding Could use new brakes but we do drive it every now and then just fine (the car is heavy and fast) The color of the car is black primer with two white racing stripes - looks mean and good to me but whoever buys will probably want it painted. Needs gauge work done. Currently using aftermarket gauges and theirs no working speedometer. Mileage reads as 14,9xx. I got two quotes for a full body and paint job - One was $8,000 and the other was $9,000 (In the CA market, not sure if it's higher here) - If that gives you any idea of the shape of the car (I don't have the money to do it). I also included more pictures of the wheel wells and trunk. Two of the wheel wells have a little bit of rust and a lot of dirt caked on. The front two wheel wells are really clean, zero rust. The trunk shows the red the car used to be which is also starting to show through on the roof of the car. The pictures and video will show the car's shape and that it fires right up. In the video I step on the gas for a brief second before exiting. The quality of the sound on my phone video does no justice to the car. Here is the video of me starting the car, revving the engine once and a close up of the engine:
I will be listing the car locally as well and reserve the right to take down the listing at any moment if I am offered a decent amount from someone local. Have to sell due to the loss of a job. Would have loved to see it get finished but that's life. Hope it goes to someone who will love it. |

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.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams
Fri, Aug 31 2018There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.
