Barbourville, Kentucky, United States

This is a 1964 Pontiac GTO clone with a 462 CI Pontiac engine.  Has a Competition full roller cam 284-284, roller rockers, steel rods, steel crank, aluminum forged pistons, 670s heads with stainless steel valves and bronze valve guides,  Pro-billet distributor, MSD iginitation and 850 Holley carb setting on a Doug Nash Intake that is ported and polished along with the heads. Has a TCI from 3,000 to 3,800 Stall Torch.  Has a new 350 turbo beefed up transmission with shift kit and all blue race clutches.  The car has all the interior intact tach and gauges, car is all fiberglass including the trunk what's not fiberglass is top, rocker panel and firewall, has functional roll up and down windows with factory glass, front and back windshield is Lexan.  Car weighs about 2600 pounds and engine in the car has went as fast as 584 in 1/8 mile this car has a strong strong engine much too fast for car without roll bars but at my home track they will let you run as much as et 7 flat.  How I do this car is I put it in drive gear and let it shift itself 690 and 7 flat because I wanted to keep it more streetable without roll bars.  New Hooser slicks on the back and practically new front runners on the front, weld wheels are a couple years old but look really nice, big axels and long studs and a 410 gear..it's a little hard on gears but I have another 410 gear that will be coming with the car. The car has all new fuel lines, brake lines and brake shoes, has good full pedal of brakes.  The car has a solid carrier therefore it spends both wheels at all times.  The paint color is Hot Red and is about 2 years old and has Red interior.  This car is pretty much every lasting unless you wreck it because fiberglass does not rust and is very streetable if you want to drive it.  This car does run good but here is the bad thing it has a blown head gasket at the end of the season I blew the head gasket but I have a 3 dimension head gasket new that will come with the car that Kauffman's Racing says will take care of the problem.  Has headers and full flomaster exhaust back to the rearend.  My phone number is 606-627-7583.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, 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.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
