1969 Pontiac Gto Convertible on 2040-cars
Winter Haven, Florida, United States
|
Condition is excellent, no dings or dents, first class restoration.
Vehicle is a reborn 1969 Pontiac GTO 2 Door Convertible, Warwick Blue, White
Top, Dark Blue Interior, Bucket Seats. History: We have owned this car since 1986. It was built in
Baltimore, purchased at Coggins Pontiac in Jacksonville, and has been in Florida all it’s life. It
is a numbers matching car except for the engine and rear end. Both are available for purchase if you want to make it a numbers matching car again.
We opted for the higher horsepower 428 Ram Air engine with a functioning Ram Air induction system, and a much stronger rear end.
Features: AM/FM radio, A/C, PS, PB, PT, CC, Rally gauge cluster, hidden headlamps, remote outside rear view mirror, passenger side rear view mirror, deck lid release package, 15" Rally II wheels, custom sports steering wheel, ride & handling package, floor console, glove box & trunk lighting. The original Turbo Hydramatic 400 was completely rebuilt with all the popular modifications for performance and durability. The ten bolt 1972 Buick rear axle assembly is the newer 8.5 inch ring gear model with improved bearings. It is the Safe-T-Track limited slip differential 2.56:1 which helps gas mileage. Local professional Ron Pence of R&R Performance Auto Specialties in Lakeland completed the frame off rotisserie restoration, including every nut and bolt and front
glass replacement. Ron used rust free Arizona front
fenders and reproduction rear quarters to replace the salt water ruined parts thanks to years of running up and down our beautiful beaches. Also used were our accumulated NOS and some reproduction parts, Allison breaker less C/D ignition
system, Ram Air III cast iron exhaust manifolds, dual exhaust system with crossover
pipe. Added was the Royal Bobcat upgrades starting with a 1969 428 engine, decals, trim, and special paint scheme, plus seven blade fan, desert cooler radiator, dash tachometer,
Stewart-Warner triple gauge pod, front disc brakes, boxed rear control arms,
rear sway bar, larger front sway bar, stiffer springs, rear deck airfoil. Stephen’s Engine Builders built the 428 engine by boring .030 making it 455 ci, using hypereutectic pistons, Ram Air III
cast iron exhaust manifolds, Melling Ram Air III camshaft, 1.5 rocker arms, and high volume oil pump. They also added the Holley Dual ProJection 1340 cfm TBI fuel injection system
on an Offenhauser aluminum dual quad intake manifold. It runs on 92 octane fuel. The original speedometer was showing 32,233 before restoration, and the new one shows 7,799 meaning about 140,032 miles.
The original 400 ci engine, and non posi 3.23:1 rear axle, and top boot may be available. Take a close look at all the photos, this GTO has been assembled better than any ever were off the factory line. Painstaking measures were taken to make every gap between sheet metal and all exterior parts absolutely prefect. Pay special attention to the front end and rear bumper on this car compared to other GTO's, and you WILL see the difference. You won't find another GTO with such perfect gaps around the entire vehicle. Check the hide away headlights that open and close properly, plus stay open like they are supposed to do.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
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.
