2 Door 1966 Pontiac Gto - Phs Certified - Black on 2040-cars
Los Alamitos, California, United States
1966 Pontiac GTO
4 Speed Carburetor 4 speed Muncie transmission with Hurst shifter PHS Historic Services has proven that the VIN is in fact a true GTO and I have the paperwork to prove it. The Good - Starts right up and sounds amazing. Engine runs great. Interior is clean with minor issues. Body is straight. Was told from previous owner that the engine was "bored and stroked" and thus this car is very strong. It can "peel out" when shifting from neutral but driven gently it will not. New chrome bumpers New Retro 5 Spoke Wheels New Cooper Trend Setter Tires - Mounted and Balanced New fan put in New headlight bezels Updated larger exhaust - The car sounds strong. New battery Updated radiator Rebuilt and updated steering column New steering wheel - Wood New shifter knob Wires cleaned up in the engine bay Fluids topped off New floor chrome step plates when entering from door New hood scoop Newish / Updated Interior black headliner and seats Newer / Updated Fuel tank Newer / Updated 3" Exhaust New parts in the trunk (Not installed but purchased) - Interior door and window handles / cranks Essex Carpet Sound deadener Arm rests Interior door panels Performance Dual radiator fans - used for a little bit but we put on a new original piece. Choice is up to you. *I may return those parts not installed for money if the new owner doesn't plan on using them - As I need the money.* Work needed - Body is straight but has one dent in the back left corner the size of a golf ball Sanding and a nice paint job needed - it is primer black now. Was red before it was black. Light rust in a couple spots that need sanding and a couple spots of bubbles on the roof that need sanding Could use new brakes but we do drive it every now and then just fine (the car is heavy and fast) The color of the car is black primer with two white racing stripes - looks mean and good to me but whoever buys will probably want it painted. Needs gauge work done. Currently using aftermarket gauges and theirs no working speedometer. Mileage reads as 14,9xx. I got two quotes for a full body and paint job - One was $8,000 and the other was $9,000 (In the CA market, not sure if it's higher here) - If that gives you any idea of the shape of the car (I don't have the money to do it). I also included more pictures of the wheel wells and trunk. Two of the wheel wells have a little bit of rust and a lot of dirt caked on. The front two wheel wells are really clean, zero rust. The trunk shows the red the car used to be which is also starting to show through on the roof of the car. The pictures and video will show the car's shape and that it fires right up. In the video I step on the gas for a brief second before exiting. The quality of the sound on my phone video does no justice to the car. Here is the video of me starting the car, revving the engine once and a close up of the engine:
I will be listing the car locally as well and reserve the right to take down the listing at any moment if I am offered a decent amount from someone local. Have to sell due to the loss of a job. Would have loved to see it get finished but that's life. Hope it goes to someone who will love it. |

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
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.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
