PHS (Pontiac Historical Society) Documented
VIN: 824F32621
In the past this Muscle Car was represented as being a Royal Bobcat. I can find no documentation to support this
claim. It does have the lighter springs in the distributor but I have not torn the engine down to verify the
aluminum lock nuts on the rockers or the offset key in the cam.. I also do not know what jets are in the carbs. If
this was a true Royal Bobcat the intake gasket would have the water passages blocked which I cannot confirm. The
Royal Bobcat gaskets were in the trunk of the car along with the Royal Bobcat air cleaners.
With all that stated, It might be a Royal Bobcat or it might not. I am selling it as NOT a Royal Bobcat. If the
buyer can document the car as a Bobcat, he will have made a great buy.
This is an excellent example of a surviving Muscle Car. A 100% rust free, never hit or damaged car built in
Fremont, CA, and delivered to Bryant Pontiac in Covina, CA. The car was in California until it was purchased by a
military man stationed in L.A. in 1973. He took the car to his family home in Detroit Michigan. From 1973 to 1983
the car was a summer cruiser on WoodWard Avenue in Detroit and accumulated only a few thousand miles during the
summer months that decade. It was then put into storage until it was purchased by the previous owner in 2006. At
that time a complete restoration was performed. It is a 100% rust free and never hit or damaged survivor.
The care has its original #'s matching 389ci 348 hp 3x2 Tripower code 76XW block which appears to have been rebuilt
at some point.
The car retains it's original Muncie 4-speed and Hurst shifter. The rear end gears are 4.33 PosiTraction which
were installed in place of the original 3.23 factory gears possibly by Royal Pontiac. The original 3.23 gears go
with the sale.
The car was ordered with A/C however it was removed years ago possibly by Royal Pontiac and is now a non A/C
configuration. It has power steering, drum brakes, bucket seats with console, and am radio.
The car received a total restoration at some point with fresh paint, new chrome on the bumpers, and stainless steel
trim polished. New interior including dash, sills, dash pad, door handles, window cranks, front and rear seat
covers, carpet, headliner, and package tray.
The car received all new weather stripping and window seals. Redone and detailed trunk.
New vintage Sun Tach and mechanical gauges.
Everything under the hood has been replaced, restored, or rebuilt.
New 2 1/2" Pypes, mandrel bent exhaust, upper control arm bushings, new tires, brakes, and recored radiator.
The Royal Bobcat air cleaners are included in the sale as well as the original 3.23 gears.

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.

Why Pontiac should come back and how it can be relevant again

Mon, Apr 17 2017

When I was a kid growing up in Metro Detroit, our family was always entwined in the General Motors empire. My dad and some of our relatives worked for GM in various capacities, and we had our fair share of Chevrolet, GMC, and even Buick products in our humble driveway. However, it was my Uncle Ed that always had a vehicle from the one GM brand that always appealed to me the most: Pontiac. Seeing him pull up in his Pontiac 6000 and later the '90s era Grand Prix sedan that replaced it was always an exciting occasion, and both of these models also reflected the playful spirit that once defined the Pontiac brand. Back when Pontiac first got its performance groove on in the '60s, names such as GTO, Firebird, as well as Bonneville became iconic nameplates in the broader muscle car era. The '80s saw Pontiac lose some of its styling heritage, but also try new things at the same time including turbocharging as well as the mid-engine sports car with the flawed but still sleek Pontiac Fiero. When the Pontiac brand was shuttered in 2009, it was a mere few years after I earned my drivers license, and also when Pontiac was just beginning to regain some of its lost luster. Granted cookie cutter efforts like the Pontiac G3, (Chevrolet Aveo) G5, (Chevrolet Cobalt) and G6 (Chevrolet Malibu) certainly did not help matters during Pontiac's final years on the market, but two models in particular offered a compelling glimpse into what could've been for the storied brand. The first was the Pontiac Solstice roadster/coupe. Originally introduced as a concept back in 2004, and championed by everyone's fighter jet flying auto executive Bob Lutz, the Solstice was designed to be a serious competitor to the Mazda Miata, and while its interior ergonomics were flawed and the top solution not ideal. It proved to be a fun little car to drive, and also a sales success for Pontiac with initial demand exceeding expectations.This was especially due to its lineup of engines with the 2.0 liter LHU turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 260 horsepower in GXP variants. The second and (inarguably my favorite Pontiac model) was the Pontiac G8 sedan. Originating in Australia as the Holden Commodore VE, the G8 was designed to rectify the multitude of sins created by the last generation Bonneville. Front wheel drive was pitched in favor of rear wheel drive, and for the first time in a long time interior ergonomics and cladding free exterior styling were key building blocks for success.

Steve McQueen barn find: Movie Trans Am surfaces after almost 40 years

Mon, Dec 17 2018

An important Steve McQueen film car has emerged from barn storage. No, it's not yet another " Bullitt" Mustang, quite the contrary: The car in question is a 1980 Pontiac Trans Am, and it starred in McQueen's final film, " The Hunter." In the movie, McQueen plays a bounty hunter, and while in " Bullitt" he's quite the wheelman, that's not the case in this one. McQueen's character, "Papa" Thorson, is a horrible driver, and the Trans Am is far too much car for him. A chase sequence sees McQueen driving a combine harvester to catch the perps who are driving his stolen rental Pontiac, and the Trans Am ends up blown in half with dynamite, then returned to the airport on a trailer. The driver of said GMC truck and trailer combination, Harold McQueen (no relation), received the title of the first car used in filming, and for the following decades planned to fix the now-ruined car, but never got around to it. Instead, the 1,300-mile Pontiac wreck sat on a farm for nearly 40 years, until Harold decided to sell it to an enthusiast. There's studio documentation proving the car's pedigree, and stunt modifications can be seen in the Pontiac's floor and dash. While it's obviously in dreadful condition, the car remained more intact than the other stunt car the film crew blew up even more spectacularly — that car ended up as the pile of parts in the airport scene, and those bits and pieces were eventually dropped off at a junkyard after a Pontiac dealer refused them. McQueen did also drive a 1951 Chevrolet in the film, and kept that yellow convertible after filming was wrapped up. Sadly, he was diagnosed with cancer just a month later, after reportedly being in poor health during the shooting, and passed away in December 1980. The yellow Chevy stayed with his estate for some years, later getting restored and auctioned. Right now, it's not clear what the Trans Am's fate will be. The car's current owner, Calvin Riggs from Carlyle Motors in Katy, Texas, wants to know more about the Trans Am and the film shoot: His post on Hemmings includes a lot of information, but more would be useful.
