1973 Pontiac Gto Base Hardtop 2-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
Gibbon, Nebraska, United States
|
Less then 4900 of the 73 GTOs were built, it is my understanding only about 500 are registered, they are rare. This was a frame off rebuild starting in 2004 and was taken to its first car show in fall of 2005, the rebuild was not done by proffessionals. The engine is a 69 pontiac 400, with 70 pontiac ram air III heads, intake, and exhaust headers, it has the stock 335 hp cam in it. Valves, springs, roller tip rockers, pistons, oil pump, fuel pump, water pump, timing chain and gears, and rebalanced rods were all new and engine was rebuilt by local machine shop, it has a guadra jet 4 barrel with HEI ignition. The transmission is out of a 69 GTO and was rebuilt by a local transmission shop, it has a full size car torque converter so it shifts very smoothly, no shift kit was installed, rear end is a 323 positrac. Suspension from front to back was new, including body mounts, brakes were new from front to back, front brakes are disc, rear are drum. It has dual exhausts and done by a local muffler shop, straight pipes were used for exhaust pipes and don't look real good, tail pipe extensions are exact to car, it does sound pretty awesome without being loud. It has bucket seats with console, tilt steering, am-fm stereo radio, cruise control, air conditioning (not working), ralley gauges with tach and clock. Interior is very nice except for a couple cracks in dash. All door, window, seals were new so is quite when driving. Exterior painted in 2005, 1974 pontiac goldenrod yellow, base paint with clear coat, black vinyl top looks real good except for a couple small cracks by back window. This GTO draws a lot of attention at car shows, and has received numerous plaques and trophies in its class, one peoples choice award. There are far to many NOS parts that went into the rebuild to list, but I'm sure many don't exist today. The car has been driven about 3000 miles since the rebuild and still showes very well.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
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.
