     Restorable true 1965 Pontiac GTO. The car was built November 20 1964 at the Fremont plant here in Northern California. It was parked outside in the Central Valley area of Stockton California somewhere around 1973 until just this year. The old goat wears whats left of the original paint which is Nightwatch Blue (E code). The motor thats in it is not the original 389 4 barrell but a Pontiac 350 from a Firebird, and it is frozen. The rest of the car looks to be complete and totally original including the clutch set up, 4 speed and rear end. The car suffered a large tree dropping leaves all over it for the last 40 years which eventually rusted out the A pillars and around the windshield and back glass. The rest of the car as far as rust issues is what you would expect of a Northern California car - Frame Inner Fenders Rockers Doors are all good - minor rust at the floor pan, right quarter and trunk.

      I purchased the car recently with plans to leave it as is. I would install a cage, monster running gear and run it. Those plans are still in place but it is a real 65 GTO and after getting it back into my shop I realized it could be restored. I figured I would give you folks a chance to save it before I start the project. I can always find a Tempest or Lemans down the road for my "Rusty Relic Racing" idea it doesnt have to be the real deal. Reserve is set at what I have into the car down to the penny, if reserve is not met the cars mine.

                                                 Clear California title in my name in hand - Car is currently licensed and registered in California.

Car is sold where is as is with no warranties expressed or implied. Shipping costs are buyers resposibility although we will make sure its loaded onto your carrier properly.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
