#'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.

Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
Fiero-based Zimmer Quicksilver was objectively terrible, but we'd totally drive it
Wed, Jan 19 2022Now here's something you don't see everyday. It's listed in our classified ads as a 1986 Pontiac Fiero, but as you can see, that description is a bit misleading. In fact, it's a Zimmer Quicksilver, which was indeed built atop the guts of a mid-engine Fiero coupe but was heavily modified by the Zimmer Motorcars Corporation at a facility in Pompano Beach, Florida. And the one you see here actually seems to be a pretty decent deal for a highly unusual car. We're not sure what was a more popular starting point for kit and custom cars in the 1980s and 1990s, but it would have to be either the Fiero or the vintage air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle. Fiero-based machines usually mimicked the design direction of any number of highly desirable Italian stallions, most commonly, we'd guess, the Lamborghini Countach. The Quicksilver is an altogether different animal, with over a foot of extra wheelbase added in front of the A-pillar to make for a dramatic, long and low silhouette that somehow still only has barely enough room for two passengers in its leather- and wood-lined interior.

A stock 2.8-liter V6 engine from General Motors is mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that sends 140 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Period road tests found the 0-60 run took a little over 10 seconds, which is terrible today but wasn't all that bad for the mid '80s. Best we can tell, only around 170 Quicksilvers were made between 1984 and 1988, which are, not coincidentally, the same years that Pontiac produced the Fiero. The 1986 Zimmer Quicksilver you see here is priced at $18,495 and shows well under 30,000 miles on the odometer. There aren't a lot of Zimmer Quicksilvers currently for sale for us to compare, but the ones we did find that had sold within the last few years suggest a little under $20,000 is a reasonable asking price. It could be a fun and offbeat addition to the garage, and if nothing else, you're not likely to see another one at your local car show. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Sun, Nov 28 2021John DeLorean began his career working on Packard's Ultramatic Twin transmission, but he made his greatest mark on the automotive industry during his 1956-1969 tenure at GM's Pontiac Division. There, he helped develop the first production car engine with a quiet timing belt instead of a noisy chain, among other engineering feats, but his real fame came from the development of two money-printing models based more on marketing than machinery: the GTO and the Grand Prix. While the GTO gets all the attention now, the Grand Prix set the standard for the big-selling personal luxury coupes that sold like mad for decades to come. Today's Junkyard Gem is an example of the most powerful Grand Prix available at the turn of the century, found in a Denver-area self-service yard during the summer. The Grand Prix got front-wheel-drive for 1988 and a sedan version for 1990, but then something very beneficial happened in the 1997 model year: supercharging! Various flavors of the venerable 3.8-liter Buick V6 engine (itself based on the early-1960s Buick 215 V8 and thus cousin to the Rover V8) received Eaton blowers, starting in the 1992 model year. The Grand Prix didn't get its introduction to forced induction until the 1997 model year, but it kept the boosted option until the final Grand Prix rolled off the line in 2008 (the final Pontiac followed within a couple of years). This one made 240 horsepower, making it King of Grand Prix engines until the 2005 model year (when the GXP and its 303-horse V8 engine showed up). The very last year for a Grand Prix with a manual transmission was 1993 (there had been a three-pedal Grand Prix drought from 1973 through 1988, just to put things in perspective), so this car has the mandatory four-speed automatic. The Grand Prix lived on GM's W platform for its last two decades, making it sibling to the Impala, Regal, and Intrigue in 2001. Until the 2004 model year, every W-Body Grand Prix was built at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City (no, the other Kansas City). Production of the final generation of Grand Prix took place in Ontario. It seems fitting that this car's final pre-crusher parking spot would be between two other GM products of the same era: a Monte Carlo and a Vibe.
