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 |

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.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
