Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi

Sat, Jun 19 2021

The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac Grand Am LE with Quad 4 Engine

Wed, May 9 2018

GM introduced the N-Body compact platform with the Oldsmobile Calais and Pontiac Grand Am for the 1985 model year and continued building N-based cars through 1998. Most of these cars weren't interesting from an enthusiast standpoint, but a handful rolled off the assembly line with raucous DOHC Oldsmobile Quad 4 engines and manual transmissions, and those cars were plenty of fun. Here's a 1991 Grand Am with that rare setup, photographed in a self-service yard in California's Central Valley. The base engine in the 1991 Grand Am was the 110-horsepower, 2.5-liter pushrod Iron Duke, an engine that might have been fine on a Romanian tractor in 1953 but had no place on an American street car as the 21st century approached. Fortunately, GM started bolting the modern 2.3-liter DOHC Quad 4 engine into 1988 cars, and this was a proper four-cylinder. The Quad 4 ran a little rough and uncivilized, and it had its share of reliability problems, but you could rev the piss out of it and it made good power. In 1991, this engine was rated at 180 hp. That made this 2,592-pound sedan pretty quick. Unfortunately, the slushboxization of America had progressed with depressing rapidity during the 1980s, and by 1991 most Grand Am buyers — even the ones who opted for the Quad 4 — chose the automatic transmission. That didn't happen with this car, though — it boasts a rugged Getrag 5-speed instead of the happiness-amputating three-speed automatic. Yes, that's the kind of odometer reading you'd expect to see on an Accord or Maxima from this era. Someone loved this car and took care of it. Here we see an interesting mix of 1980s and 1990s car-radio technology. CD players in cars were still costly luxury items in 1991, seldom seen in affordable cars like the Grand Am, while 1980s-style slider-style EQ controls were on the way out. This Delco unit straddles both decades nicely. I seek out Quad 4-equipped cars during my junkyard travels, and I have photographed quite a few: this '89 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Grand Am, this '91 Quad 442, this '93 Achieva SCX, and this '98 Cavalier Z24. It's a shame that Buick never put the Quad 4 in the Reatta, which was a fine car ruined by a somnolent and obsolete V6. The music in this ad is even more early-1990s than Crystal Pepsi.

DESCRIPTION
There are a few times in a classic car collector environment where you find out how extremely rare a production car really is. Usually, the opportunity presents itself by the time the car is worth far more than the mortal man can possibly dream about owning. We’d like to end this pattern by presenting one of Pontiac most rare production sports cars ever produced. As Pontiac neared the end of its illustrious legacy, the Firebird continued to be the namesake of it sports car line up. The fourth generation was introduced in 1993 and ended alongside the Camaro in 2002. Unfortunately, the doors closed for Pontiac in 2010 making any car produced over their 84 years of operation the last we will ever see!

This 1997 Pontiac Firebird Formula WS6 Convertible represents one of only 43 examples ever produced for the public. Of this total, 41 were manufactured for the 1997 model year, and only 2 left showrooms in 1998. This marks one of those rare opportunities to tuck away a vehicle that is virtually irreplaceable! Break down the options further and one will find that this factory Black example with matching Black convertible top and Dark Pewter Cloth interior may be the only one of its kind!

Equipped with the ever powerful LT1 5.7L SFI V8 engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission and limited slip rear axle ratio! Standard equipment includes 4-wheel power disc brakes with anti-lock system, power rack & pinion steering, air conditioning, power windows & locks, power convertible top, cruise control, tilt steering column, 16” alloy wheels, theft alarm system, full dash instrumentation with dash tachometer, rear deck spoiler, and more! Options making this one of the rarest Pontiac Firebirds ever produced in history are the Ram Air Performance Packard that attached ram air induction, functional hood scoops, upgraded chrome wheels with high performance tires, and dual oval exhaust tips! Additional add-ons include remote keyless entry, upgraded performance 3.23 axle ratio, and enhanced audio with CD player and equalizer!

This Formula WS6 Convertible was ordered by Beaman Pontiac-GMC located in Nashville, TN, but was quickly secured by a buyer through Franklin Pontiac in Franklin, TN on October 25, 1996 with a serious premium no doubt! It has traded hands about 5 times in its lifetime, and will forever be one of the rarest of vehicles ever produced in Pontiac history!! Please take a close look at the current condition and the mileage showing on the odometer will baffle you! It is in remarkable condition and shows as a car with just a fraction of these miles! Again, compared to rarest of muscle cars produced through the 1960’s and 1970’s, not many cars from the twentieth century will ever have the possible investment return as this one! Need further proof of rare high output GM convertibles; look into Corvette L88 Roadster, GTO Judge convertible, Buick GS455 Stage I convertible, Chevelle LS6 convertible, and just a few others that match the unbelievable low production rarity of this 1997 Pontiac Formula WS6 Convertible! Again, Pontiac Historical Services indicated this car as just one of only 41 produced in 1997! Only 2 others were manufactured in 1998 making their short 2-year, 43-unit production run, one of the shortest in modern times! Please call with additional questions or to schedule a chance to see this exceptional car in person. An opportunity like this only comes along once in a lifetime!
