1964 Pontiac Gto 389 Ci. With Tri-power. on 2040-cars
Hickory Hills, Illinois, United States

AMERICAS ORIGINAL MUSCLE CAR TURNS 50! This is a PHS documented GTO convertible. I am the third owner and have had it since April of 2005. The previous owner had it for 22 years and bought it from the original owner in Georgia. The original 389 ci. engine was rebuilt by the second owner more than 20 years ago. He added a small cam so the engine has a nice rumble to it. He also painted the car, put on a new top, added disk brakes to the front, added air shocks to the rear end, put in the tri-power and 4 speed transmission. The car runs good after it is warmed up. No choke. The undercarriage is clean and solid. After I bought the car I added red line radial tires and seat belts to the back seat for my kids. Besides keeping it clean, that is about all I have done. I do have the original manifold, carb., and front drums for the car if you want them. Like I said, the car runs good. My wife and I do not get out in it that much but have taken a few 100+ mile trips with it without issue. These photos were taken last summer. The mileage stated is an estimate based on what I was told when I bought the car. The car was repainted over 20 years ago and the paint is starting to check. There are also a few paint chips and a small dent on the lower half of the passenger side door thanks to my son and his bike. Body panels are seams are straight. The wipers run slow and may stick. Engine runs rough when it is cold due to not having a working choke. The car sits from late fall till mid spring. there will be some drops of oil on the ground after I fire the car up and move it for the first time, but no puddles of oil. As for negatives, I think that is it. The cars biggest problem is that it does not get driven as much as it wants to. Why selling? I don't drive it enough to keep it. Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions. Thanks |

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
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.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
