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!

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac 6000 LE

Sat, Dec 2 2017

Sibling to the Chevrolet Celebrity and Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, the Pontiac 6000 sold pretty well during the early-to-middle 1980s, but had been relegated to the dealership bargain bin and fleet-car cul-de-sac by the time of Operation Desert Shield. Here's a final-year-of-manufacture 6000 LE that I photographed in an Arizona self-service wrecking yard. This car was sold new in Arizona, and it will be crushed in the same state, 26 years later. The LE was the cheapest trim level for the 6000 in 1991, but the original purchaser of this car sprang for a few options. For example, instead of the utterly miserable 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, this car packs the 3.1-liter V6. That meant 140 horsepower instead of 110, plus an engine note more like a vacuum cleaner sucking up a spaghetti spill than an ailing blender chewing on walnuts. AM, FM, and cassette. Not only that, but the auto-reverse feature meant that your mixtape cassette wouldn't stop right in the middle of your favorite Roxette tune. This content is hosted by a third party.

Even the wretched Daewoo-built Pontiac LeMans gets more screen time than the forgotten 6000 in this 1991 TV ad featuring the voice of Captain Picard.

GM Recalling Another 2.7 Million Vehicles In Five Separate Campaigns

Thu, May 15 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles. The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles – some of them the same models – but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago. The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents. A further 112k Corvette models from the 2005-2007 model years are being called in for problems with their low-beam headlamps resulting from a flexing relay control circuit wire that's not meant to bend. GM says it is "aware of several hundred complaints" about this issue, but notes that there have been no reports of related accidents. In addition, over 19k examples of Cadillac CTS from the 2013 and 2014 model years are being recalled over windshield wipers that might not work after a jump start. Finally, GM is also bringing in 477 examples of its 2014 Chevy Silverado, Tahoe and GMC Sierra (though not the Yukon) to fix a problem with a tie rod in its steering rack. As ever, all recall repairs will be performed free of charge, and GM is now estimating that recall-related actions this quarter will result in an estimated $200-million charge against its second-quarter earnings. Read the full announcement from GM below for further details.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
