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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

Pontiac should come back as a performance division for GM

Thu, Apr 6 2017

For decades the Pontiac brand was known as GM's performance brand. From the 1964 Pontiac GTO, to the 1967 Firebird, to the 1984 Fiero, to the 2006 Solstice Turbo, and 2009 G8 GXP, Pontiac had a reputation for building exciting cars, with bold styling and performance to back it up. When the Camaro was killed off in 2002, the Pontiac Firebird died off with it, and the last Pontiacs were built in early 2010. But with names like G3, G4, and G6, Pontiac's performance image had long faded from it's earlier glory days. My idea for Pontiac's revival would be to bring it back as a dedicated performance marque similar to Chevy's Super Sport (SS) line up of years past. First, and most obvious would be to bring back the Pontiac Firebird. Offering the entry-level model with the Camaro's 275HP turbo 4 cylinder engine, then having the Camaro SS's 455HP V8, but also offering a halo model Trans Am that is a revamped Camaro ZL-1 along with it's tire-shredding 650HP, supercharged V8 and race tuned suspension. Secondly, I would bring back the GTO. Which I would base on the current Chevy SS, but I would use the full 455-horsepower LS4 V8 (rather than the 415-hp setup that it has now). Furthermore, I would add the impressive 650-hp supercharged V8 to provide real competition to the Charger Hellcat. Importantly, I would make sure that the new GTO had bold, distinctive styling that really set it apart. I understand that purists would want any Pontiac GTO to be a two-door coupe, but I think that they could forgive that if the new GTO was an outstanding American performance car. Next, I would take the Buick Cascada convertible, add much bolder styling, swap in the Camaro's 275-hp turbo engine, and tune up the suspension to provide more performance than luxury (without being harsh). And finally I would round out the line up by using the new 2018 Traverse , but use the new, bold Pontiac design language to spice up the model's looks, tweak the engines for more power, and again provide a performance suspension that matches the model's new sporty looks. Obviously, having a high performance Pontiac model line up would steal away some sales from Chevy, Buick, and Cadillac models. But I think that it would more than make up for this by also stealing away sales from competing brands.

AMC Trans Am Javelin SST, an ultra-rare underdog, is up for auction

Sat, Sep 9 2023

Among the rarest of the American muscle cars that went racing in the early Seventies — cars including the Camaro Z/28 and the Boss 302 Mustang — the 1970 AMC Trans Am Javelin SST may be the most hard to find, and among the most valuable. Only 100 units of this unique Javelin were produced, and one of them is up for auction at the Mecum event in Dallas on September 20. The Trans Am Javelin was fashioned in a patriotic livery of tricolor paint — red, white and blue — and arrived after the American Motors Corporation had decided in 1968 to compete in the Trans Am racing series against Ford and General Motors. The company's chief driver, Mark Donohue, would dominate the 1971 season, taking seven wins in his Javelin AMX and that yearÂ’s SCCA Trans-Am Championship. AMC took the trophy with 82 points, well ahead of Ford's 61, Chevrolet's 17 and Pontiac's paltry 7. The example listed for auction came equipped with a 390-cubic-inch V-8 engine with 325 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 420 pound-feet of torque, power steering and brakes, dual exhaust, BorgWarner four-speed manual transmission and Hurst competition shifter. Its “ram induction system” sealed a chamber around the air filter so that cool air from the functional hood scoop would be funneled into the intake. This JavÂ’s factory price was $3,995 — a mere $32,000 or so in today's money, though it was expensive by the standards of the time. The 100 Trans Ams were among 19,714 Javelin units built in 1970, so they started out rare, and today the surviving examples are highly collectible, if and when they come up for sale.
