This is a very rare find, this car was purchased new by Mr HP Rouben on August 3, 1971.
Mr Rouben was a wealthy business owner from Decatur Georgia who had several vehicles deemed "Company Cars".
This particular vehicle was used for cross country "business" trips with the family . Mr. Rouben caught the front fender on the passenger side , on one of his trucks in the warehouse, while backing the car out for a trip one day in 1984. He decide to take another vehicle and parked this one in the warehouse.
Unfortunately before the car could be repaired, Mr. Rouben passed away. All company vehicles were put in the warehouse by his family members along with other belongings, in a rural area in Atlanta, and locked away up until last year when a friend of mine purchased the building's belongings in an auction. The roof of the warehouse had received damage and leaked inside which caused some condensation in the cars nothing was damaged to the pontiac other than the vin plate rusted, and the headliner fell. The cars were vandalized at some point by scrap thieves who stole the radiators, keys, and tried to steal the heater core from this car. A homeless person had also broken into the warehouse and was using this car to sleep in. When I purchased the car the tires were flat and dry rotted, it had no keys, and was not running. I pulled it to the shop, replaced the distributor with an electronic one, replaced the plugs, the wires, the oil, the oil filter, radiator , the tires and had the steering column rebuilt and keyed. She now cranks and drives , needs a muffler, the brakes are spongy and the accelerator pedal sticks sometimes. I had plans for this car but it has done nothing but set since I got her running. I do crank her up at least once a week and drive her around the yard.
There is NO TITLE, it is not required in Georgia on a vehicle this old, It comes with a bill of sale and the last tag receipt (registration) ONLY. With that being said, it has only ever had one title, and the title number is on the last tag receipt, you should be able to petition the state of Georgia through your MVR for a title with your bill of sale, I would suggest you check before bidding.
This is a very straight and solid car and other than what I replaced, is 100 % Original. The pictures speak for themselves.
Car must be paid for in full within 7 days of auction end afterwards you may have as long as need be in order to arrange transport. If you are picking up in person there is a local notary who can notarize the bill of sale for you for $5.00 and I recommend it.
Please ask any and all questions prior to bidding.
Thanks and God Bless.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky
Sat, Jun 26 2021The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic. The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice. For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Sep 25 2018Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan
Tue, Feb 7 2017During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.
