#'s Matching, Documented, W/ownership And Extensive Care History on 2040-cars
Calabasas, California, United States
Born on the 2nd Week of April, 1969 and was Delivered to Dave Pyles Motors Inc. in Marlow Heights, MD. PHS Documentation shows it came with the following options; Ram Air III, 400 cu. V8, w/M-20 4 speed, functional Ram Air inlets, hood tach, safe-t-track rear end w/3.55 gears, power steering, power breaks (w/front disc), Ralley wheels, Black Buckets, Center Console, AM/FM Radio, Tinted Windows, Dome Light, Rear De-frost, and Optional Lock. We added the wood steering wheel and chrome exhaust tips. The original steering wheel comes with car. Previous Owners included many receipts and personal affects including P.O.C.I. Membership. Owners Manual. Service Manual. Hot Rod Magazine - Pontiac Advertisement. Parking Sign. From the Documents and Further online research I was able to compile the history back to 1979. When it was purchased by a noted Pontiac enthusiast in Virgina, who sadly died earlier this year. His obituary, viewable online, mentions little about his occupation, but dedicates a full paragraph to his love for, and restoration of, Pontiacs. He left receipts and his POCI club membership. He is survived by a son, who is also searchable online, and his current Pontiacs are featured along with dedications to his father's passions. In 1993 he sold it to Mike Injaian, of North Wales PA. Mike included numerous receipts, personal affects and was reachable by email. He conveyed his love for the vehicle which he drove twice from his home to the Woodward Dream Cruises of 02' and 03'. Mike is also featured online, for his outrageous GTO projects. This unbroken chain of enthusiast ownership continues to 2005, when John O'Quinn, the legendary Texas litigator and car collector, took possession of the vehicle. The owner of over 800 world class vehicles he was building a museum to house his collection. Between 07-08' the Judge received a full restoration and was driven until O'Quinn's sudden death in 09'. This Judge, along with his entire collection, was caught up in litigation, eventually sold earlier this year. After sitting in storage while Mr. O'Quinn's estate was liquidated, I went about addressing any and all things that needed attention. Over the past 4 months, while fighting constant urges to just keep driving it (I still ended up putting a little over a thousand miles in 4 months) additional minor work revealed itself, and was always completed by accomplished mechanics (recommended by the president of our local GTO club). Receipts for all work comes in a book with the previous owner's materials, and our work performed included; 4 New Tires, Rebuilt Carb, New Master Brake Cylinder, Bled Brakes, Front and Rear Shocks. Right Upper Control Arm, New Radiator, Cap and Hoses, Left Rear Tail Light, Thermostat and Gasket, Oil Sending Unit, Spark Plugs, Trans Mount, Oil Service, Trans Serivce, and Every Fluid possible. Additional repairs included new Weather Stripping, Kick Panels, Drip Rails, and Carpeting. It now goes even better than it looks. It really is a phenomenal drive. You can take it as far and as fast as you want. Included in the photographs are the Engine and Trans vin, which match directly to the last six digits of the vehicle VIN - and the other original, matching date coded parts. A pic of the engine prod # is also shown, and reads 0663663 WS. The picture of the transmission has many numbers, but if you look side-ways, and on the left of the photo, you'll see the vin which reads P294022. In addition to the PHS, Dealer Order Form, and various other documents proving its provenance, the sheer amount of originality and rich ownership history only bolster what is already a very on-point, happy car. The only major deviation, which actually leaves meat on the bone for a new owner, is that it did not come from the factory in Carousel Red. This was originally a color code 67 (Burgundy) car. I have never seen a Burgundy 69' Judge, except the original Hot Wheels car, that came in that color. The odd fact is, it's spent most of its life, with Carousel Red paint. The oldest known owner I spoke to, Mike from PA, stated that when he purchased the car, it was already this color. And he left it be. John O'Quinn likely wanted the iconic color, and kept it as such. With no body work required, and a still coated and clean, completely rust free under-carriage, and engine compartment, if the color were returned to Burgundy, along with all the numbers matching components, you'll have a rare, #'s matching Judge. Or, if the maximum possible resale isn't why you're interested, and you just want something to love, there's more than enough of that. I am located in Calabasas, CA and invite serious buyers to inspect and test drive for themselves. I shot a little video so you can hear and see for yourself, if I can't post it here, ask me for it, and I'll happily email. I am open to partial or full trades (keep it muscle and American or don't offer). Domestic or International Buyers welcome. Winning bidder must arrange for shipping and all funds must be received prior to releasing vehicle and title.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction
Mon, 01 Aug 2011For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
1970 Firebird Trans-Am with front-mid-engine to be immortalized as a Hot Wheels car
Mon, Nov 30 2020Each year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour scours the country to find the coolest real-life cars and chooses one to be made into a $1 diecast toy. Earlier this month, the search came to an end when Riley Stair's heavily modified 1970 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am won the honors. In a normal year, the Hot Wheels Legends Tour would visit multiple cities, holding a car show where judges would select one winner for that stop. At SEMA, each city's winner would then compete for the top spot. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, this year the contest was held virtually and globally. And since SEMA was canceled too, the finale was held on the "Jay Leno's Garage" YouTube channel with Leno, Snoop Dogg, Gabriel Iglesias, and Hot Wheels designers as judges. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. What set the Firebird apart was, for starters, its front-mid-engine layout. Its LSX V8 was pushed so far back into the firewall that one bank of exhaust headers had to flow forward before curving around the front of the engine to a side-dump. Of course, all of this was custom fabricated, like the roll cage and front tube frame, with professional-grade welds. The body was also heavily modified, flared and channeled to give it a mean stance. But it's the custom Ohlins suspension with independent rear that give it its track-ready look. Perhaps most impressively, this car, which could go toe-to-toe against (and frankly exceed many) six-figure pro builds at SEMA, was built in the side yard of Stair's parents' house. Aside from body and paint, this was a shadetree job. Stair says it took a couple of years, devoting nearly every night and weekend to transforming a rusty and dented Firebird into his dream machine. Other finalists included a Street Freak-style 1969 Corvette from Florida, cartoony 1959 Chevy Ute nicknamed the "Hulk-amino", Rocket Bunny-style Cayman, 1,000-horsepower Chevy Apache, V8-powered Mini Cooper, stanced Fiat 126 from Germany, chopped VW Brasilia from Mexico, and a race-ready 1976 Hillman Imp from the U.K. Cars were judged on creativity, authenticity, and built-not-bought spirit. Look for the Trans-Am to appear in the 2021 Hot Wheels lineup. Related Video: Featured Gallery Hot Wheels Legends Tour 2020 View 16 Photos Toys/Games Pontiac Coupe Performance Classics
This junkyard '91 Grand Am is as hooptie as it gets
Wed, Jun 29 2016I spend a lot of time in junkyards. A lot of time. With all this experience, I have learned to recognize a perfect hooptie when I see one, a car whose final owner got every last bit of use out of it when its value was hovering right about at scrap value. This 1991 Pontiac Grand Am that I spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard a few days ago, from the final model year for the third-generation Grand Am, checks all the hooptie boxes just right. First of all, it's a low-option coupe with the wretched and unloved GM Iron Duke engine, a rattly, gnashy, thrashy 2.5-liter four-cylinder kludged together using off-the-shelf parts from the Pontiac 301-cubic-inch V8 during the darkest years of the Malaise Era and used in cars whose buyers just didn't care. Most of the paint has been burned off by 25 years of harsh California sun, but the car spent sufficient time in a damp, shady spot for lichens to build up here and there. There are skeletons-with-sombreros stencils sprayed here and there, plus a big moonshine-guzzling skeleton mural painted on the hood. Goodbye, property values! Still, someone felt some affection for this car, giving it the name "Good Ol' Snakey" and painting that name on the decklid. We can assume that the Iron Duke was a bit loose by this time, probably leaving a serpentine trail of blue smoke behind the car at all times. So, the combination of cheapness, ugliness, menace, and who-gives-a-damn functionality make this Grand Am an excellent example of a pure hooptie. Within a couple of months, it will be crushed, shredded, shipped out of the Port of Oakland, and reborn in China as refrigerators and Geely Emgrands. Somewhere in Northern California, though, a few of Ol' Smokey's friends will remember this car fondly.
