1965 GTO 389 Tri-Power, 4Speed Muncie M20 . 100% original drivetrain, body, windows.
This is a PHS documented WS code Tri-power 4 speed GTO with 100% original drive-train. I also have protecto plate verifying it's the original engine. Being an original California car, it is a zero rust vehicle with the exception of one very small spot under the paint (smaller then a pencil eraser). It has rally gauges and center console. All systems function properly inclusive of lights, turn signals, horn, wipers and and complete rally gauge cluster. The coker redlines are in excellent condition along with a coker redline spare. It has T-3 headlamps as well. The body is very straight overall. The car has had one repaint approximately 10 years ago in the original color Starlight Black / Cameo Ivory, It has small touch ups and blemishes, but receives compliments and shows quite nicely for 10 year old paint. The chrome and trim are original and have minor pitting all the way around, but are in remarkebly good shape for being original. The seat covers and carpeting have been replaced. The rest of the interior is original including the headliner and is in very good shape. All gauges, lights etc work. The engine is a WS code block with the original 77 heads and original tri-power carbs. The engine was rebuilt in 2001 approximately 10,000 miles ago by the previous owner. The previous owner painted the engine the color it is now because he thought it made the engine look nicer, he also chromed the radiator guard and alternator bracket and added electronic ignition, besides those changes everything is original including fan and Harrison radiator. It performs nicely and is coupled to a smooth shifting original muncie M20 4 speed with the original Hurst shift assembly. The rear is original with 3.55 gears. The car is a very nice turn key driver in mostly unmolested condition. I really do not want to sell the car and had no intention of doing so, but I just recently purchased a 65 tri-power 4 speed convertible and I just can't seem to justify 2 GTO's to the wife. The car is a very nice driver or with very little you can take it to the next level. |

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
