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!

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
