A very nice survivor car "barn find" with 45568 original miles on it . An all original unmolested 1961 Bonneville 4 door hardtop with 4 barrel 389 and 4 speed Hydromatic transmission, factory fender mounted vacumn controlled mirrors, under dash air conditioner, power brakes and power steering. The ultimate cruiser. Has been off the road for years when found. Flushed the gas tank and lines, had the OEM AFB carburator rebuilt, new battery, new fuel pump and started her right up. No smoke, knocks, raps, transmission shifts OK, no leaks. The car is 99% complete, the only thing missing that I can see is the letter "E" on the drivers' side Bonneville emblems.
All the glass is intact (windshield has a small crack at the top middle ) windows go up and down easily, door open and close fine. This was an east coast car before it came to New Mexico so it has the usual rust. There are small rust areas at the bottom of the rear doors, bottom of the rear fenders and rust spot on top of both froint fender, all easialy repaired or leave "as is" as a lot of people are now doing. the rest of the body and frame are OK. Generator charges ok, exterior and interior lights work, horn turn signal and brake lights all work. Brakes and steering all work fine, no leaks. The a/c compressor was removed by the prior owner and comes with the car. The radio (AM only) works.
Will need tires , they are dry rotted from years of sitting in the sun,I did not install new ones to keep the price low. the interior is also dried out from sitting out in the sun., you can sit and use the seats but they are dry. The dash and instruments are pretty good, so is the steering wheel. The headliner is red and in very good condition so is the carpeting. The fuel gage is not working, you'll probably need a new sending unit like all these survivors do. Comes with two flipper hub caps, two OEM caps and another set of 4 OEM hub caps.
You'll need to go through the car as it has been sitting for a long time. If you want a really great old time fun to drive cruiser at a very fair price, here it is. questions? call or text dean 505-414-0617

Posted new pics showing the bad spot on the front fender tops. My camera died so I apologize for the quality of the cell phone pics. Both fenders have the same defect in the same spot. I posted a pic of the right rear rust area the left is the same. If I was to keep this car I'd leave things the way they were and just drive it. The picture of the engine has my loaner carb on it so I could run and drive the car while the AFB was being rebuilt. I also offer a $150.00 rebate to help defray shipping costs if you use the BIN option at its present number ($3690.00) so the car will actually cost you only $3540.00. if the car sells for less the rebate offer is withdrawn .

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
World's only 1964 Pontiac XP-833 Banshee coupe for sale by Kia dealer
Mon, Apr 20 2020It seems like there has been a spate of especially odd car sales in the first part of this especially odd year, from the numerous barn finds and homebrew specials to the time capsule cars — like the BMW wrapped in a protective bubble for 23 years. Napoli Kia in Milford, Connecticut, brings us another, via Motor1. Len Napoli is the dealership principal and die-hard Pontiac maven; his father opened Napoli Pontiac in 1958, and Len held onto the franchise until the early 2000s, just before GM shuttered the brand that built excitement. Napoli got hold of the 1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833 coupe concept, and put the car up for sale through his Kia dealership for $750,000. The exceptional price comes from the fact that Pontiac built two Banshee concepts in 1964, one this silver coupe with a red interior, the other a white roadster, making each concept a one-of-one collector car.   Motor Trend wrote a detailed piece on this one in 2013, the editorial tour hosted by Bill Collins, the Banshee's lead engineer. The short story is that GM exec John Z. DeLorean — yes, him — gave approval to a small crew at Pontiac to create a two-seater sports car to compete with the Mustang, because GM had nothing to fend off the four-seat coupe that would sell one million units in just 18 months on the market. Collins and his team took inspiration from the 1963 Corvair Monza GT concept, working up a fiberglass body over a steel frame, with a 230-cubic-inch overhead-cam straight-six producing 165 horsepower and 216 pound-feet of torque, a four-speed manual transmission, and 9.5-inch drum brakes at all corners. The idea was that the XP-833 would be "an affordable and fun two-seat sports car," the concept demonstrating the base-model price leader offering a lengthy list of options for those who wanted more. The white roadster, in fact, fitted a 326 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. Rumor says that Chevrolet execs didn't like having another two-seater sports car in the GM fold, especially one with a fiberglass body that held weight down to 2,200 pounds. GM execs took one look at the two concepts in 1965 and shut the project down. The two XP-833s lived in a garage for years, Collins and his colleague Bill Killen getting permission to buy the cars from GM in 1973 before Collins left to help engineer the DeLorean DMC-12. It wasn't until just before Collins departed that the XP-333 got the name Banshee.
Junkyard Gem: 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT
Fri, Jun 26 2020The New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, built Toyota-derived machinery — badged as Toyotas, Chevrolets, Geos, and Pontiacs— from 1984 through 2010, and some of the very last vehicles that left the assembly line were Pontiac Vibes. The Vibe, sibling to the Toyota Matrix, mostly served as a ho-hum transportation appliance and/or fleet car, but a factory-hot-rod GT version could be purchased. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those rare GTs, complete with the nearly unheard-of six-speed manual transmission, found in a self-service yard in northeastern Colorado. The regular Vibe had 123 or 130 horsepower, depending on the number of driven wheels, but the Vibe GT got the same 1.8-liter 2ZZ engine that went into the Celica GT-S. 180 horsepower, which was enough to make the 2,800-pound Vibe GT keep up with the 3,108-pound/215-horse Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo that year. Sadly, no race series pitting Vibe GTs against PT Cruiser Turbos and Chevy HHR SSs on road courses ever materializedÂ… but it's not too late. The Vibe GT has something you couldn't get in a PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR, though: a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. In fact, the six-speed was the only transmission offered in the early Vibe GTs (an automatic became an option later on). You'll find plenty of three-pedal econoboxes from this era, because they were significantly cheaper than their slushbox-equipped counterparts, but the Vibe GT had plenty of competition from sportier-looking cars with manual transmissions in 2004. Not many were sold. This car is covered with nasty dents from golf-ball-sized hail (all too common in High Plains Colorado), so it may have been an insurance total that nobody wanted at auction. Sold in Wyoming, will be crushed in an adjacent state. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Fuel for the soul.

Toyota had right-hand-drive Matrixes brought over to Japan from Canada, but a NUMMI-built version of the Vibe could be purchased there for a few years as well. This was the Voltz, and its advertising seems notably frantic even by the standards of Japanese car commercials.
