1969 Pontiac 400 Motor/new Holley Carburetor***sound System on 2040-cars
Benton, Arkansas, United States
I am selling my Beautiful 1969 Pontiac Bonneville. I truly hate to see this go, but my daughter is getting married so this Baby and our Boat have to go. I have never driven a vehicle that has gotten more attention than this car. From Corvettes to Camaros, Cadillacs to Chargers, NOTHING has gotten the attention this vehicle demands. Young and Old. Everybody loves this car since it is so unique. I purchased this vehicle in Kentucky a little over a year ago from a gentleman who had it in his family since new. He gave me receipts that total $25k for all of the upgrades. I will try to include the highlights. It has a 400 GTO motor with a Turbo 400 Transmission. This engine is very strong and runs down the road like a champ. Dual Exhaust that sounds great. Not too loud, but just perfect. I recently had my mechanic of 20 years install a new Holley Carburetor. I can get details from him if anyone wants because I am not a mechanic. I also put 2 new tires on the front and had the front end aligned. The rear tires are in great shape. The Foose Wheels are in Excellent Condition. Wheels and Tires were about $2800. It has a custom box with Two 12 Inch Subs with Two Amps in the Trunk. It has a detachable face Stereo/CD Player. The system sounds great. I think the gentleman I bought the car from said he paid $3k for the sound system. All is included with the car. I am not one of those guys that says, "Here's the Car, if you want everything, it will cost you more". The AC works. The top was recently installed before I bought it. It is in great shape. The plastic on the cover for the top that "tucks" into the trim is off on the corners as you can see if the two pics. I have not taken it in to see what that will cost to fix as it did not bother me. I will try to get some pics with the top up. It started raining on me so I couldn't keep taking pics tonight. There is some discoloration in the paint on the driver's side rear quarter panel. The paint overall is in good shape. I would say 8.5/10. Maybe 9. If you are a serious buyer and have questions, please call at 501-681-4857. I have it at no reserve so the highest bidder wins.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years
Mon, Dec 17 2018An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
