1969 Pontiac Custom S Convertible. A couple steps below a GTO, but nobody's heard of a Custom S as it was only produced for 1 year (1969). Only 2379 Convertibles were made. It is a rare car. It is also NUMBER MATCHING which helps the value of the car. This car has the 265 hp motor which has been upgraded with a 4 bbl carb and manifold to match the optional 330 hp motor offered. Automatic transmission, PS, PB (front disk), PW, Power Top, Power Antenna, Factory AC (have parts, not on car), Electronic Ignition. Original bench style seat with center armrest.

Car runs and drives Very Good and could be a daily driver if you wanted to. Much has been spent to make it so. All New Suspension (Springs, Shocks, All Bushings, Sway Bar, Alignment), New Belts, New Carburetor, Cable, Spring, New Accelerator pedal,  New Starter, New Alternator, Brakes, New Radiator Hoses and Clamps, Radiator just boiled out and pressure tested, New Thermostat, New Transmission Lines and fluid, Recent Tires, New retro Stereo (digital with ipod hookups) and kickpanel/speakers, New dash inserts and woodgrain, probably a few other things I'm forgetting. Car has GTO hood and spoiler. Body is straight. Good gaps, doors open and close as they should. Frame is good. My 'picky' mechanic said car does not appear to have been hit and solid. I think there has been a minor patch in a floor board and trunk, but all appears original. Original color was the Red/Orange but car was repainted Pontiac Silver. It looks like it was a professional job and the car was taken apart to do so. Body has a couple flaws. The seams above the trunk have some paint cracking and the area above the bumper on each side have some bubbles. No door dings or dents anywhere. Car is really straight! Convertible top is in decent shape. Before today, there were no tears. Somehow today, I developed an 1 1/2" slice on the passenger side. Minor, but still a flaw. I also have a tonno cover for when the top is down.

The flaws...I couple projects still to do. The idiots lights don't work. Not a big deal as there are mechanical gauges but the gas gauge is included in the 'not working' category. I'm told it needs the printed circuit board replaced (which I have). The blower motor for heat/ac doesn't work (I have a new one too), the dash has a couple cracks, not bad (but I have a dash pad for that too) Interior is near perfect with one flaw in the driver door panel. Previous owner cut an 'oval shape' in it for something. Not horrible, but pointing out the flaws. I have New correct PMD centercaps, and other parts for the incidentals (. Car is completely respectable and driveable as-is. Its a great cruiser and car show contestant. Being a Custom S, it gets plenty of attention as nobody knows what it is or has heard of them. I love the car and the attention it gets, just not enough time to enjoy it and kid is going off to school in September, and could use the money more than the car at this point. I do not expect to get the $17k I have invested into the car, but would like to get a reasonable price for it. Although it still needs a couple things, its a good, solid, honest, matching number car which should increase in value. If you can't afford a $40K GTO, this may be the car for you as they are so close. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. 

Feel free to come and look at and drive the car in person. I will tell you as much as I know about it (good or bad). Call or email for more info. This is a car that you can just get in and drive and enjoy! Ken 732-278-6303

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

Autoblog Classifieds finds: 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT

Tue, May 15 2018

Autoblog's free Readers' Used Car Classifieds section is a great place to list your car for sale, and because these are readers, they often list really interesting cars. Occasionally we find interesting listings, and tell you what's special about them. This 1987 Pontiac Fiero was listed for sale at the time of this writing, but if the listing expires by the time you read this, feel free to browse for other great finds. Thirty years after General Motors stopped building it, the Pontiac Fiero might have finally emerged from the darkness. First, it was a humble commuter car that just happened to be a mid-engined coupe, then it was a re-skinnable basis for Fierorraris or other slightly strange kit cars, and then it made some Worst Cars of All Time lists due to its econobox ingredients, including its Chevy Citation suspension parts. But after a few decades, even the most mediocre car will become interesting as most of the examples built have been run into the ground; why not then the Fiero? The story of the Fiero is paralleled by a number of GM products, as it improved constantly the longer it was built, and by the time of the last model years it was quite decent indeed. And then the plug was pulled. The Fiero might not be a Toyota MR2 or even a Fiat X1/9, but it was made in two body styles, the notchback and the fastback, the latter of which looks especially good now. The Fiero also remains quite affordable, and the plastic body panels do not rust, unlike with the two aforementioned cars. This 1987 car advertised for sale at Autoblog Classifieds does not yet benefit from the 1988 cars' improved suspension, but thanks to its low, low 47,000-mile odometer reading, it looks to be in tip-top shape. The automatic transmission is just the three-speed affair, though, rendering the V6 car here more of a cruiser than a fiery hot canyon carver. Perhaps that has contributed to its good condition, along with the lack of possibly leaky T-tops. Could the Fiero have aged better than your Hall & Oates tapes?

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT 30th Anniversary Edition

Mon, May 29 2023

With the era of the 1960s-style muscle car ended by the ever-more-stringent emissions regulations, insurance costs and higher gasoline prices of the early 1970s, GM's Pontiac Division was ready with a lineup of flash-enhanced machines packed with (alleged) European-style performance and styling. Three of them were based on the midsize A Platform for 1973: the LeMans, the Grand Prix and the brand-new Grand Am. The 1973 Grand Am was cheaper than the luxed-up Grand Prix, but still had a BMW-ish interior and wild exterior styling; sales weren't great, but the 30th anniversary of this car seemed sufficiently momentous for Pontiac to create a special-edition package for its soon-to-be-axed successor. Here's one of these rare machines, spotted recently in a Denver car graveyard. The original rear-wheel-drive Grand Am was built for the 1973-1975 and 1978-1980 model years, but its similarity to the much cheaper LeMans kept sales numbers unimpressive. When the Grand Am name was revived for a Pontiac-badged compact on the front-drive N Platform in the 1985 model year, however, it became a big seller right away and stayed that way into our current century. The N-Body Grand Am was built through 2005, with platform updates for the 1992 and 1999 model years. Along the way, it was sibling to such cars as the Oldsmobile Calais, Buick Somerset, Chevrolet Beretta and Oldsmobile Alero. By 2003, though, the ground was shifting under Pontiac's feet. The iconic Firebird had been discontinued the previous year, and even the Grand Prix's days were officially numbered. Oldsmobile would be gone after 2004, and the entire Pontiac vehicle lineup would be shaken up soon after. The last year for the Grand Am (and the Sunfire) would be 2005, with the G6 taking its place. With all that going on, why not offer a 30th Anniversary package? After all, the Grand Prix got a 40th Anniversary Edition for 2002. Our reviewer described this car as "leaner, trimmer and more contemporary" at the time, but made no mention of the 30th Anniversary Edition. The VIN says this car is a top-grade GT1 sedan, with an MSRP of $22,325 (that's about $39,920 in 2023 dollars). Two engines were available in the 2003 Grand Am: a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder with 140 horsepower and a 3.4-liter pushrod V6 with either 170 or 175 horsepower. This car has the 175-horse V6, complete with "Ram Air" cold-air induction. That name goes way back in Pontiac history.
