1966 Pontiac Gto Convertible on 2040-cars
Aitkin, Minnesota, United States
1966 Pontiac GTO convertible with original interior
It is a mostly unrestored car. Everything I have done to it is with an eye to drivability, it is returnable to
completely original in one weekend. It was painted once about 9 years ago, pinstripe removed, very limited
bodywork required - body is straight as an arrow and pictures during paintwork and reciept are supplied in the
documentation. I have provided pictures down both flanks. The interior is original and untouched, down to the
weatherstripping on the doors and original knobs and buttons. The sticker for the original owner's parking pass
from where he worked in is still affixed to the rear view mirror. The knobs and buttons have an original patina,
the headlights and brights appear to be original equipment. I have a copy of the original order sheet, original
options, owner's manual, PHS documentation, and the warranty card mailed to the original owner, Mr. James Brock of
Wisconsin who took delivery in May 1966. He was 48. It was kept by him until he was 89 years old, passing it to
his son, in July of 2007, where it was titled again in Wisconsin. The car title almost immediately passed to a man
who knew the family and had an eye on the car who lived in Kansas, that same month, so I consider him to be the
second owner. At the time, it had 67,832 miles on it. He spent over 10k on paintwork, then appeared to have a
change of heart and sold the car to me. He did not drive the car very much, as I purchased the car less than 2k
miles after he bought it and less that a year after it left the body shop with 69,522 miles. I have all paperwork
documenting this and they are photographed above. motor.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
