Pontiac Gto 2 Door Post on 2040-cars
Mcminnville, Tennessee, United States
1966 Pontiac GTO 2 door post! Less than 50,000 original miles!
Drivetrain Numbers Matching 389 Tri-Power (Tri-power is not original to the car) with numbers matching 2 speed Powerglide transmission. The motor is healthy and runs excellent and the car shifts great. She fires right up. Dual exhaust sounds good but is not at all obnoxious. This car cruises down the road very nicely.
Exterior The exterior of this car is truly stunning. The paint is not the original color. Its a 70s GM color called Phantom Blue Metallic and it is beautiful. The car was taken apart and painted and put back together in the correct way. The fitments of all panels are perfect and there is no rust that I saw. All the glass is in great shape. The original bumpers were re-chromed and all the door and window trim is in excellent condition. There is also a functional hood tach that was added as this was not an option for that year.
Underneath The underneath of this car is amazing. I saw no rust anywhere. The underneath was painted black and still looks super clean. This is the most solid, original car that I have even been under. The trunk is spotless as well. I took many photos to try to show how nice it is.
Interior The interior is no different than the rest of the car. It was all redone and still looks brand new. The seats were recovered in a black cloth as opposed to the original vinyl. The rest of the interior retains the stock features with the exception of the aftermarket steering wheel, the CD Player with speakers and the three gauge pod under the dash. This is a factory AC car (although the AC is not currently working). The dash, carpet, seats, door panels, headliner etc. all look perfect to me and show little to no signs of wear. In my opinion, the original center console is the only part of the interior that shows its age. See pic. All lights, wipers, and heat work as they should.
Chassis/Suspension- The suspension parts all still look new as well and were all replaced. There are rear air shocks that can be adjusted. Power steering and power disc brakes up front make it very easy to drive. The car really does cruise down the road nicely for an almost 50 year old car!

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.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
