Download or read book 1964 Pontiac GTO written by David Bonaskiewich and published by CarTech Inc. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the mid-1960s, the American automotive market was yearning for faster, more responsive, and sportier cars, and a crew of high-performance enthusiasts at Pontiac recognized this. Large V-8s were commonly installed in full-size cars, but performance was hampered by pure chassis weight. Under the guidance of Bunkie Knudsen, John DeLorean, Bill Collins, and others, Pontiac installed the high-performance 389 V-8 into the nimble and lightweight intermediate-size LeMans chassis. It was a watershed moment for Pontiac; the 1964 GTO delivered astounding performance and created the muscle car blueprint that the Detroit manufacturers followed in the 1960s and 1970s. This volume in the Muscle Cars In Detail Series delivers a comprehensive review of this trend-setting and historic car. The GTO housed a 389 V-8 engine with a single Carter AFB 4-barrel carburetor, and along with dual exhaust and 4-speed manual transmission, it supplied extraordinary performance. To improve traction and handling, the GTO was fitted with stiffer springs, limited-slip differential, larger-diameter front sway bar, and wider wheels. And to give it panache, the GTO was adorned with distinctive badges and a hood scoop. The 1964 GTO is a landmark car, and this book goes well beyond the glossy overview of other books about this car. All In Detail Series books include an introduction and historical overview, an explanation of the design and concepts involved in creating the car, a look at marketing and promotion, and an in-depth study of all hardware and available options, as well as an examination of where the car is on the market today. Also included is an appendix of paint and option codes, VIN and build-tag decoders, as well as production numbers. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Arial}
Download or read book Ultimate Ferrari 250 GTO written by James Page and published by . This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ultimate Ferrari GTO explores the story of this iconic family of cars in more detail and with more authority than ever before. Introduced in 1962 as the final evolutionary step in the long-running 250 GT series, the GTO was the last and best GT racer of the front-engine era. It remained at the forefront for three seasons, winning a hat-trick of World Championship titles for Ferrari. Ever since, GTOs have retained their exalted status not just because of their racing achievements but also their exquisite beauty, undoubted charisma and -- for those lucky enough to have experienced this -- peerless driveability. Indeed, the GTO's illustrative reputation has made it the world's most desirable car, as confirmed by the record-breaking prices repeatedly paid for the finest examples. Packed with superb photographs, many not previously published, this lavish two-volume production does true justice to this ultimate car.

Download or read book Ferrari 250 GTO written by Keith Bluemel and published by Editions Techniques pour l'Automobile et l'Industrie. This book was released on 1998 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Ferrari GTO est sans nul doute la plus grande des automobiles. Depuis le premier jour où elle a couru, les fanatiques ont été transportés par son élégance exceptionnelle et sa puissante personnalité. Les rares privilégiés qui ont piloté une GTO en pleine action, que ce soit sur circuit ou sur route, peuvent confirmer que son charme est tout aussi prenant quand on tient le volant grâce à son puissant V 12 de trois litres et à son comportement généralement sain et indulgent. Si le prix signifie quelque chose, le fait qu'une GTO ait été payée plus de 100 millions de francs en 1989 en dit long sur la voiture. Cet ouvrage est de loin l'étude de la GTO la plus complète jamais rédigée. Des années de recherches par les coauteurs, Keith Bluemel, qui' écrit depuis longtemps sur Ferrari, et Jess G. Pourret, historien français de Ferrari (et longtemps propriétaire d'une GTO) ont mis au jour une masse d'informations détaillées concernant ce modèle culte. Les descriptions, les analyses et les illustrations de ce livre satisferont la soif de connaissance des admirateurs de la GTO. D'importants et célèbres intervenants ont ouvert leur mémoire et leurs archives personnelles pour ce livre. Dans le domaine de la conception et du développement mécanique, Giotto Biaarrini, Mauro Forghieh et Sergio Scaglietti ont été consultés. Nombre de réputés pilotes de GTO, de John Surtees à Nino Vaccarella, ont évoqué leurs souvenirs. Un patient rassemblement de données inédites, effectué par l'ancien concurrent sur Ferrari, Jacques Swaters, directeur de l'Écurie Francorchamps basée à Bruxelles, a mené à un luxe de détails encore insurpassé. De nombreux propriétaires, passés et actuels, ont contribué à préciser la biographie détaillée des 36 exemplaires de GTO construits. Plus de 300 photos, portant principalement sur les périodes de conception et de développement et sur la période d'activité 1962-1964 en compétition, au niveau du championnat du monde catégorie GT, font revivre la GTO. Aucun effort n'a été négligé pour obtenir des illustrations auprès des meilleures sources contemporaines dans le monde entier, en privilégiant les rares clichés d'époque. Un album de photos actuelles montrant d'exceptionnelles GTO complète la partie historique. La plupart des clichés n'ont encore jamais été publiés. La 250 GTO a été la dernière grande GT de l'ère des moteurs avant, modèle étudié alors que la conception d'avant-garde des voitures de compétition intégrait de plus en plus l'architecture à moteur central arrière. Cette seule considération en fait donc un repère historique, mais la présence, la beauté, les succès en compétition et le comportement routier exceptionnels de la GTO ont conféré au modèle un statut hors du commun, celui de représenter la grandeur de l'automobile. Ce livre, qui couvre tous les aspects du caractère et des réussites de la GTO, est un séduisant portrait de la plus légendaire des Ferrari.

Book excerpt: This magnificent book tells the story of a Ferrari 250 GTO with a particularly interesting and varied history. The car, chassis number 4153 GT, came fourth in its first outing at the Le Mans 24 Hours in 1963, and won the 10-day race-cum-rally Tour de France in 1964 with Lucien Bianchi and Georges Berger. It competed in almost every form of motorsport, including the Angolan Grand Prix, Africa in 1964, and endurance racing, hill-climbing and rallying in 1965, entered by the great Belgian team Ecurie Francorchamps. In 1966-69, it raced in Spain with owner Gerard Delgado and his friend Eugenio Baturone, a period that is described here for the first time. All this is covered in fascinating detail, supported by a fine collection of period photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ferrari 250 GTO is one of the most successful and highly regarded cars ever produced. Built purely for racing, the 250 GTO dominated the Grand Touring racing category in the period 1962–64 and raced in all of the world's sports car classics, including Le Mans. Ferrari built just 40 production cars, and almost all were raced. Because of its sheer beauty, its immensely successful track record and the relatively small number of cars built, the 250 GTO is among the world’s most valuable cars and examples now change hands for sums in excess of $10 million.

Book excerpt: For enthusiasts reading magazines such as Motor Trend, Road & Track, and others, David Kimble is no stranger. His brilliant cutaway artwork has been gracing the pages of those publications for years. Whether he illustrated engines, transmissions, full-car chassis, sports cars, race cars, or classics, his cutaway artwork revealed, in excruciating detail, things that a camera lens could never capture.

He covers the step-by-step procedures while producing fresh artwork for this book featuring a McLaren Can-Am car as well as a vintage Harley-Davidson. Although the procedures covered here are unique to Kimble, and pretty much a pipe dream to mere mortals, this title provides an inside look into how he does it. Also included are the stories and tales of how it all started, traveling the world to illustrate cars, behind the scenes with manufacturers, the Corvette years, as well as a gallery of many illustrations. Never before has David Kimble provided a look into his cutaway "skunkworks," or shared the procedures for bringing these beautiful technical illustrations to life.
