1964 Pontiac Gto 389 /4 Speed Real Deal! on 2040-cars
Wallingford, Connecticut, United States
|
Up for auction is a real (according to all the #'s) 1964 Pontiac GTO. First off, I'm no GTO expert but I do know something about old cars. I found this car in my own home town from a auto repair owner. He told me it was a real GT0 and was in in storage for the past ten or twelve years. He had the P.H.S on the car but came back with lost microfilm file and a refund check.So they couldn't come up with the original invoice for the car. He let me check and write down all the #'s and I went home to do some homework, and It looks legit to me, The motor # is 9778789 late 64 eary 65 and the cast date is 1184 = January 18 1964. The four speed M20 Muncie is 3851325. The rear is non posi 3.25 code with cast # 9773369. All in all it looks like the original drive train and the speedo says 66399. It works right on the money and the mileage meter works too and all the numbers line up straight in a row. I can't say if it's true milage and neither could the old owner but the way it runs and drives its to good for 166,000 if it rolled. Motor purrs like a kitten ,no smoking,knocking or ticking or oil leaking at all and the tranny shifts like butter and no leaks. The rear end is quiet with no noise or humming and no leaks. Exhaust is in great condition and nothing rotted .Front end is all nice in tight, no pulling , steers strait and the steering wheel is dead center when driving.Thats why I think it's original milage.Even the interior looks original and its how I got it . All I did was give it a good cleaning and polished some of the chrome. I painted the carpet with carpet paint to make it look better. It was faded really bad but still in good condition.The floor matts look like the real ones too,in great condition.I reglued the carpet back on the door panels too to make it look nice again. The seats are mint, the console and hurst shifter is in really great shape and everything work as it should including the old under the dash cassette radio with the 6x9's.The Tachometer works fine , the owners manual is still in the glove box , the Jack and spare bias ply tire are still in the trunk also indicating low milage. All the glass is excellent with no pits ,cracks or chips anywhere.All windows roll up and down and all the locks work with their keys too. The outside chrome is in good condition but the car needs a paint job as pictured.All four hubcaps on the car are in Mint condition and are very hard to find. The body is super solid with on rott that I can see, but it had some surface rust that I touch up on the back of the car in front of the trunk . Again the car need paint or drive as/is as you can see. The vinyl top is in excellent condition with no bubbling or tears. All I did was give it a good cleaning and it shines nice. If you paint the car you can leave the top alone to save some money. So here is what was done since the goat came out of hibernation. New gas tank and fuel sender was installed with new tank straps and new high test gasoline. All four shocks replaced and both u-joints replaced. Four new 205/75R14 tires with 10 miles on them. New fuel pump,all fuel hoses and had the original carter 4bl carb rebuilt. The car didn't have the original air cleaner on it. It had a rusty old moroso so I install a new air cleaner on it so it looks presentable. New water pump,hoses,stat,anti freeze and new radiator with cap. Rebuilt starter,new A/C delco battery with new brass terminals. Complete tune up with all A/C parts and spark plugs. New master cylinder,all new wheel cylinders, hoses,lines,shoes and hardware kits. Stops on a dime! I pressure washed the motor,tranny and all of the undercarriage to remove all the old flaking under coating and grease. I stripped down the motor and gave it a complete detailing and polished the original valve covers and installed new gaskets. Changed the oil and filter and add a zinc supplement to prevent any cam wear. Installed new oil pressure switch and temp switch plus new reverse light switch. The car is mechanically set and with a nice paint job you can have a real beauty. The car comes with a bill of sale and proof of registration only. Ct does not issue titles for car 25 years and older. You should not have any problems getting to car registered in your state with just a bill of sale. Please check with your DMV before bidding!! Any question, please feel free to call Loren at 203 687 0834. No Trades.No bikes. No tire kickers!

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
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.
