1969 Pontiac Custom S Two Door Hard Top Coupe (only Badged As Custom S In 1969) on 2040-cars
Ocoee, Tennessee, United States
|
General: The Pontiac Custom S was a single model year car that was marketed between the Pontiac LeMans and the Pontiac Tempest. Originally planned for 1969 was a lower-priced junior muscle car to be based on the Custom S series, and a competitor to the inexpensive and fast-selling Plymouth Road Runner, which started the econo-musclecar trend in 1968 due to a starting price of under $3,000
For reasons unknown, this one-year only nameplate replaced the previous model years Tempest Custom name in the Pontiac line-up. The Custom S was only available for the 1969 model year.
Body: The body of this car relatively rust free, with exception to surface rust where the head liner was installed, and a couple of tiny holes in the trunk pan. At some point the rear sail panels have been cut out in a section and patch panels were welded in. I assume there was some rust damage in this area due to a vinyl top. Other than this the body has never been wrecked and all the panels are really straight for a 45 year old car. Media blast the body and do some minor body work and you could have a great looking body. Additionally, most of the stainless trim is off of the car and stored in the trunk.
Interior: The interior needs to be replaced. The floor pans are completely rust free and still have the original coating on them.
Drive line: The engine in this car runs great! It has new Summit Racing billet distributor and an aluminum intake manifold with a new Edelbrock carb. This engine is complete and does not smoke or burn oil at all, in fact it still produces water droplets from the tail pipes. The transmission is beginning to slip, but still functions and the car is drivable. When I bought the car I drove it home about 200 miles with no issues, it still cruises great down the highway. It has a new 2.5" Flowmaster exhaust.
Suspension/brakes: The car has new shocks and the tires are pretty new as well. I replaced the master cylinder, and the car stops as good as manual drum brakes can.
Other: All in all this is a good base for a frame on/off resto. The really runs great for such an old car, plus Custom S are really rare. Do some research on the car for yourself so that you know what you are bidding on. I have listed the condition of the car as accurately as possible, but if you still have questions please contact me and I will try to answer.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
