TRIBUTE

 

Pictured for sale is a beautiful and detailed tribute convertible of a 1965 Pontiac GTO with a rebuilt 1971 Pontiac 400 c.i. engine.  Car started its transformation from Tempest to a GTO in the late 1980’s and was completed with the current owner in the mid-1990’s (see photos at body shop).  Since its completion the Pontiac has been driven only 40,000 miles, never driven in bad weather, and always garaged.  Owners have receipts for all work which was ever performed on the car.

 

SPECIFICATIONS;

 

Body:  1965 GTO (tribute) was painted a (DuPont) Ford Twilight Blue with a new white convertible top with a Plexiglas rear window. Landau cover matches the interior (see photo).  All of the chrome is in good condition.  There are some pits in the tail lights, all of the other pieces are VG.  There is no rust coming through the body on this car and the paint is approximately 20 years old. Unfortunately, a few scratches developed over the years (see photos).  All of the glass is perfect. This car has never been abused or in an accident.

 

Engine:  1971 Pontiac 400 was rebuilt in 1994 to stock specs with a Rochester 750 Quadrajet and a mild Pontiac performance cam.  GTO still retains the original style “points” ignition. Oversized radiator was added to keep the car running cool.  Items recently replaced include the gas tank, fuel lines, battery, and starter.

 

Transmission:  1971; stock 3-speed automatic, 350 Turbo Hydramatic .  Transmission was rebuilt at the same time as the engine.

 

Rear Differential and suspension; Original 1965 Pontiac 10 bolt “open” rear with 3:23 gears.  New front sway bar, bushings, and ball joints.  Power drum brakes have less than 10,000 miles since being replaced and rebuilt.  

 

Interior:  Complete restoration, including the door panels, seat covers, and carpeting.  Original dash was maintained with all working gauges. Additions include; the Pontiac vacuum gauge on the console, aftermarket oil pressure, temperature, and volt meter. In dash/original style AM-FM radio & cassette player, power antenna, and clock all work too.

 

Tires and Wheels;  14” Pontiac “rally” wheels custom painted (including the spare) to match the white and blue exterior.  Tires are by Dunlop with 205 70SR 14 up front and 245 60SR 14 in the rear. 

 

 

PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM LISTING THIS GTO TRIBUTE FOR A FRIEND.  DIRECT ALL QUESTIONS TO ME VIA EMAIL (jkurzmann@yahoo.com) OR BY CELL PHONE @ 410-937-0719.  A VIDEO OF THE CAR IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful

Thu, Mar 24 2016

What 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.
