1963 Pontiac Bonneville 2 Dr Sedan Original Black Plate California Car on 2040-cars
San Jose, California, United States
This is a true California car survivor. It was built in South Gate, CA and then sold brand new to it's original owner in June of 1963. I have the original sales contract documenting this. This car spent it whole life in southern California and was garage kept. I am the second owner and I have owned it for about 10 years also keeping it stored in the garage. The car was completely original when I purchased it. It had 96,000 original miles then. I have done some minor upgrades over the years and I have all of the original parts that were removed or swapped out.
The overall condition of the car is good. The paint is original as far as I can tell, but it is not without some flaws, minor chips and scratches and door dings. There is no signs of rust or any cancer. The interior is in great shape, New carpet, headliner and front seat. The back seat and door panels are still original. I also replaced the armrests. The dash is original and has one crack in it. I also installed an aftermarket radio/CD player with two rear 6x9 speakers and amplifier. Radio is hidden in glove box and has a remote control. The dash was left undisturbed. I have also added some auto meter gauges for water temp oil pressure and voltage under dash as well as a mooneyes tachometer. The transmission is a Super Hydramatic and was completely rebuilt. The engine upgrades include all belts and hoses, water pump, timing chain, edelbrock intake manifold and edelbrock carb with electric choke. Dual exhaust with turbo mufflers and bellflower chrome pipes. I had the original distributer rebuilt and converted to electronic ignition. Spark plugs were just changed as well. Starter and alternator were also rebuilt. Basically every upgrade performed was to make the car a better daily driver. I still have the original parts that were removed and will be included in the sale. The brakes have also been gone through as well. The suspension and front end are still original except for minor lowering and bilstein shocks. I would say the front end may need some attention in the near future and it does slightly pull to the right. The tires are also new as well. The wheels are a Astro Supreme copy made by US Mag. They are 14" like the originals. I have the stock wheels and tires also and will be included too. This is a 5 Lug wheel pattern car which is more desirable for customizing instead of the 8-lug version. The car has factor Air conditioning, but does not work, I have replaced most of the parts to convert it over to 134a but did not finish it. Since it is a no door post car it is more fun to cruise it with all the windows down. My plan with this car was to make it a mild 60"s style custom. The roof line is the same as the Chevy Impala which adds to it's overall good looks in my opinion. This is a " Widetrack" chassis pontiac, which was designed for better stability and handling. The car drives really well. I used to live in southern California and I drive it up here to the bay area (400 miles) without any issues. since I have owned the car, I have put about 17K. miles on it in a ten year period. The reason I am selling is I do not drive it as much anymore. My commute to work is only 3 miles and it takes longer to warm hit up in the morning and get it out of the garage than actually driving it to work. I have tried to document everything with pictures. Feel free to contact me for any more info. I have all the documentation for all of the work done and all the original parts to go with it. Thanks for looking! |

This KITT replica sold at auction for $32,500
Thu, Apr 23 2020UPDATE: This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT replica officially sold for $32,500. Here's hoping the new owner has a blast throwin' it into Pursuit Mode. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: This isn't a perfect KITT replica. The original KITT used in the Knight Rider TV series was based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The one you see above, which is currently for sale at auction site Bring A Trailer, is a 1987 model, and since it's a GTA edition, it has some extra body cladding that the smooth-sided television car lacked. That aside, most casual observers would probably never notice the difference, and even those who did (like us) are still likely to be impressed by the car's transformation. This KITT replica is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It ought to be fairly quick, though quite a bit shy of the fictional car's very fictional 300-mph top speed. We're not exactly Knight Rider experts, but some quick Google sleuthing suggests that the Knight Industries Two Thousand supposedly cost more than $11,000,000 to build in Hollywoodland. This one will surely command a significantly lower sum — as of this writing, it's been bid up to $18,000 with four days remaining on the auction. This content is hosted by a third party.

There are several videos of the car that detail its modifications inside and out, but suffice it to say it seems to be a well-sorted replica. Here's hoping its new owner keeps it well clear of other KARRs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
