65 GTO 2DR Hardtop 4spd car. This car lived in CT its whole life and was sold to a family friend when the original owner died. It was garaged for some time when the original motor grenaded. The motor shown in the pics is a YH motor with date coding correct for this car. Pictures show the body on a rotisserie. Full floors inc truck floor, inner & outer wheelhouses and quarter skins have already been installed. The body has been media blasted and epoxy primed. The frame and suspension were also media blasted and coated with POR. The frame is very solid with some pitting on the top in the rear but no rips, holes or cracks that I could find. The 4spd and rear are the original to the car. Full set of stainless, all glass but windsheild, complete interior minus front seats, headliner, carpet and rear panels. I have the PHS and the last registration from the original owner. Overall this is a nice project for the right person. The doors are still complete and solid on the inside, needing small patch on outer lower rear corner. The fenders need patching at the bottoms. Hood and trunk lid are solid and pretty straight. Body still needs some patching and welding around windows and inner rockers. However the expensive and back breaking work has been done already. I build these cars for buisness and pleasure and would be happy to build this one to any level for a customer. I encourage you to come and see this car before bidding or answer any questions.

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.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
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:
