I am the original owner of this 1965 GTO. It has the original WS engine and I have the original protecto-plate to verify this . My son owned it from 92 to 05. Since 05 the car has had a complete off frame restoration. The motor was rebuilt to exact specs. by Scott Tieman. Scott makes a cd when he does a project and the engine photo's were taken at his shop . Notice the arma steel crank,code 77 heads and the ws numbers. I was also fortunate enough to see Scotts car being restored during the time he was working on my engine .He even gave me a copy of the whole job on cd which proved to be more valuable than a good manual. Original trans and axle rebuilt by Riverside Gear in Eaton Rapids Mi. The trans was changed to close ratio with a 1" countershaft and the stock 3.55 posi. Scott had a factory set of tri power exhaust that he loaned to a company in St. Heights, Mi. (Inline Tube) and my car has the first set they manufactured they're correct right down to the resonators. Interior is completely redone; the seat covers are legendary, with new cushions, headliners and carpet. The parts that had to be replaced are from Ames Performance. The chrome plating is as good as I've seen. The car came from the factory exactly as it is shown with the expection of the rear sway bar and the addition of power steering. The ralley 1's are original, they are numbered 1 thru 4. Unfortunately I have lost the 5th wheel. The paint is Glacier Gray. It has the original tinted glass, original console with the rally dash, a.m. radio with reverb. Needless to say all weather strip parts, rubbers, suspention parts, everything replacable has been replaced or reconditioned . The car shows 20 miles on it. I haven't driven it anywhere but around my back field and don't plan to. I don't plan on getting it dirty, someone else can do that. The first picture was from 1970 the pic. with no clip and blue rocker covers was in 05 when I got the car back from my son . I have many more pics . If your interested my name is jim wood, my ph. is 810 728 5632, my email is jimwood95 @yahoo.com. Thank you for your interest. I did not add a pic of the interior .I will add one at a later date I was trying to find one with the radio in the dash . the radio is out now getting repaired

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
