1964 Pontiac GTO Convertible with Factory A/C, certified as a genuine vehicle by the Pontiac Historic Society. Very rare trim level as most convertibles did not have A/C fitted from the factory. This vehicle needs complete restoration, but you are starting with a desirable trim and model. The car is an original vehicle and does not appear to have ever been restored before, and it even has its original Pontiac radio! As you know, this is the original muscle car that launched an era. A true muscle car is a medium bodied vehicle fitted with a large body engine.

I have an LS 1 from a 2004 GTO (purchased in the crate in 2007!), complete with accessories and 6-speed transmission (low miles). If you hit the buy it now button, you will get that too. If not, I will offer it to the successful winner at $5,000. I intended to build myself the ultimate restomod, as there is a company that will sell a wiring loom to fit between a 1964 body and the 2004 GTO engine (In the crate, not pictured), so that you can use the new A/C compressor and all your original gauges with the newer 400 hp engine, plug and play.

Regarded as the first true muscle car, the Pontiac GTO is the most famous muscle car in high-performance automobile history. Prior to 1964, performance cars were full-size hardtops and sedans with the largest displacement engines available. These full size cars were a little slow off the line, but really performed once they got rolling. Hot Rodders had known for years that you could go even faster if you put those big engines in smaller, lighter cars. The Pontiac GTO was General Motors attempt at the factory Hot Rod.

Initial promotion of the GTO option was somewhat low key. The GTO wasn't mentioned in the 1964 Pontiac full-line catalog. A GTO brochure didn't show up until after the first of the year and by then the car was already a success. Very favorable media coverage (especially the famous Car and Driver March 1964 Pontiac versus Ferrari GTO duel) and great word-of-mouth advertising sold a lot of cars.

Free advertising came about when a Top 40 song was written about the GTO. John Wilkin penned the song "GTO" and a group of Nashville session musicians recorded it under the name "Ronny and the Daytonas." Over a million singles and 500,000 albums were sold. "Three deuces and a four-speed and a 389," played repeatedly to the GTO's key customer group.

Initial sales projections called for only 5,000 units; however, the GTO was an immense hit with the public as well. The 1964 model run produced a total of 32,450 units.

I now have twins and no time for fun projects. My loss is your gain. You may also choose to buy an original 389 engine for this vehicle, as there is no such thing as numbers matching on GM vehicles prior to 1967.

Sold as is where is with no express or implied warranty of fitness for any particular purpose.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According 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.
