1961 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible 4Spd Tri-Pwr 8 lug
This is a very authentic & well restored 61 Bonneville 4-speed 8 lug car and was a featured early muscle car at the
2016 Telluride Cars and Colors Concours d'Elegance.
This awesome car was custom ordered near Minneapolis and was frame off restored in 2006-07.
This Numbers Matching PHS verified engine is the 318HP “C4/C8” with its original “Tri-Power” Carbs and HD
air-cleaner. Both the VIN# and the Pontiac Inventory#- -each shown on the PHS inventory card MATCH. Runs great
with its factory “Dual Exhaust” and has been enhanced with 1968 “HO” D port headers, compound starter and
MSD ignition.
The PHS manifest also shows this Bonneville equipped with the early Warner Gear -long tail-shaft T10-1B “4
Speed”. The car is so authentic that the original transmission KK “Spec” tag is still attached and boasts
the original manual transmission back-up light switch. Cases are excellent with proper dates and 4 speed shifts
crisply.
The car was ordered for Maximum power without Power Steering, Brakes or AC. Then, as the PHS card shows, the very
desirable 8 lug HD brakes were added. As an added bonus, from the factory this car had the “Saf-T-Trac” rear
end and a great 3:23 axle ratio for only 2500 RPM @ 70 MPH. Vacuum shows from 8-16" on properly functioning gauge.
The body tag shows that the Excellent exterior paint is the correct “H-4” Tradewind Blue with Blue Top & #253
Silver-Ivory-Blue Interior.

GM issues four new recalls, 2.4 million cars affected
Tue, 20 May 2014General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
Driving Notes
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Sun, Nov 28 2021John DeLorean began his career working on Packard's Ultramatic Twin transmission, but he made his greatest mark on the automotive industry during his 1956-1969 tenure at GM's Pontiac Division. There, he helped develop the first production car engine with a quiet timing belt instead of a noisy chain, among other engineering feats, but his real fame came from the development of two money-printing models based more on marketing than machinery: the GTO and the Grand Prix. While the GTO gets all the attention now, the Grand Prix set the standard for the big-selling personal luxury coupes that sold like mad for decades to come. Today's Junkyard Gem is an example of the most powerful Grand Prix available at the turn of the century, found in a Denver-area self-service yard during the summer. The Grand Prix got front-wheel-drive for 1988 and a sedan version for 1990, but then something very beneficial happened in the 1997 model year: supercharging! Various flavors of the venerable 3.8-liter Buick V6 engine (itself based on the early-1960s Buick 215 V8 and thus cousin to the Rover V8) received Eaton blowers, starting in the 1992 model year. The Grand Prix didn't get its introduction to forced induction until the 1997 model year, but it kept the boosted option until the final Grand Prix rolled off the line in 2008 (the final Pontiac followed within a couple of years). This one made 240 horsepower, making it King of Grand Prix engines until the 2005 model year (when the GXP and its 303-horse V8 engine showed up). The very last year for a Grand Prix with a manual transmission was 1993 (there had been a three-pedal Grand Prix drought from 1973 through 1988, just to put things in perspective), so this car has the mandatory four-speed automatic. The Grand Prix lived on GM's W platform for its last two decades, making it sibling to the Impala, Regal, and Intrigue in 2001. Until the 2004 model year, every W-Body Grand Prix was built at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City (no, the other Kansas City). Production of the final generation of Grand Prix took place in Ontario. It seems fitting that this car's final pre-crusher parking spot would be between two other GM products of the same era: a Monte Carlo and a Vibe.
