1969 Pontiac Custom S Convertible (like Gto) on 2040-cars
Brick, New Jersey, United States
|
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 |

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season
Thu, Dec 9 2021Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
