1970 Pontiac GTO, California Survivor, numbers matching.   Original 400 with 350 horse power.  Original owners manual and California Pink Slip included.  Factory 10 bolt rear end.  Car has factory air, power steering, power brakes, automatic, am radio.  I put on a period correct Rochester carb.  The factory original carb is in a box in the trunk, which is included in the sale to the future owner.  Engine bay is very well maintained and looks great.  Car drives well and has plenty of power.  Tires are full of tread and wheels are in beautiful condition.  The Enduro bumper is in excellent condition.  Interior is fresh, clean, no tears, rips.  Front and back seats have all original factory seat belts in car.  Front seats have two factory belt buckles, one for the shoulder strap and one for the lap belt.  Headliner is in very good condition with no rips or tears.  Trunk is in excellent shape with no rust issues and includes the factory bumper jack and the original small tire which has never been used.  Inside of the trunk looks great!  Interior and exterior are in very good condition for a 44 year old car.  The car has factory glass throughout, original T3 headlights, factory paint still in door jams, trunk and inside engine bay.  Somewhere along the way the master cylinder was replaced.  Undercarriage is solid and in good condition.  Car had one light re-spray years prior to me purchasing it.  This is as rust free as you will find.  When I purchased the car in 08, I was told that the car has some lead bleeding through the right and left seams where the quarter panels join the roof.  It can be seen.  I will include a picture.  It has NOT gotten worse since 2008.  Also, this car has the original metal dealer drive out tag.  Roc Cutri was the GMC dealer where the car was purchased in 1970.  Roc Cutri GMC has long since closed, but you can still see their dealership history on the internet.  

The downside to this car is the dash.  California heat split the top left in two places and one place almost in the middle.  I will include pictures of the cracks.  I intended to send the dash out to be restored, but it never took top priority.  I had to leave something left to do.  What fun are they, if there's nothing left to work on?  That's my opinion. 

I keep it in a dehumidified garage. The collector before me also kept this car in a dehumidified garage.    It is one of a few original survivors.  Some like a restored car, but this car hasn't been restored.  This car is like it came off the lot.  You can restore cars as many times as you want, but they're only original once.  This car is for the person that still wants an original and they want to do a few minor things for a hobby, while enjoying a beautiful, stock 70 California, GTO. 

I have the original California Pink slip for this car which will be included in the sale.

Also, this is a rare 1970 California emission equipped car with the original California emissions canister.  Based on one Pontiac guru, this canister is a rare piece and not reproduced.  He said the first thing people did when they bought a California GTO with the canister was to trash it.  Now they're extremely expensive and hard to find for a 1970 California GTO, which he said makes for a more rare GTO.  Hagerty magazine did an article regarding California muscle cars and discussed the cost and rarity of these 1970 canisters. 

The Pontiac legend, Jim Wangers took a short drive in my car at the 2008 Year One Experience.  After driving and checking out this GTO, Mr. Wangers wrote the following on the car's radiator cover.  "Hey Bud... Hang on to this beautiful 70, it's a "Real Survivor"!  signed, Jim Wangers08.  Mr. Wangers also pointed out factory chalk marks on the fire wall.  If you look you can still see the mark.  I will include pictures of what Mr. Wangers wrote and a picture of him sitting in the driver's seat.  

I'm going to try to post a video on YouTube so people can hear and see the car running.  It runs great and cranks perfect every time.  I changed the oil with Mobil 1 and added a bottle of Z-Max to the motor. 

I've been long winded, but I've done my best to honestly describe my GTO.  Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.  Please keep in mind this is a 44 year old car and it comes with no warranties.

Write or call me with any questions you have and I will respond quickly.   I'll be happy to show it to any serious buyers or agents.   Bud  706-983-0357

Shipping is the buyer's responsibility.  $500 deposit within 48 hours.  Full payment expected in 7 days after auction ends.  Funds must clear before I will release the car and pink slip.   I will provide the winning bidder with a bill of sale and the pink slip, which is the title in California.  Thanks!

Junkyard Gem: 2009 Pontiac G3

Sun, Mar 28 2021

Things weren't looking so rosy for Pontiac Division in late 2008, as The General had troubles of its own that culminated in Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June of 2009. Meanwhile, the Solstice and G8 had failed to revive Pontiac's youthful "excitement" image. Naturally, this seemed like the ideal time to put Pontiac badges and a new grille on the Chevrolet Aveo (itself a rebadged Daewoo Kalos) and call it the G3 (in the United States) or the G3 Wave (in Canada). Sales were not brisk, to put it mildly, and the 2009-only G3 has become one of the rarest modern Pontiacs in the junkyard world. The announcement of Pontiac's demise came in the spring of 2009, with the very last Pontiac-badged vehicle built being either a G3 or a Vibe (since those cars were really Daewoos and Toyotas, respectively, the true final Pontiac was the 2010 G6). The Aveo itself disappeared after the 2011 model year, replaced by an updated Kalos design known here as the Chevrolet Sonic. As a result of the GM bankruptcy, termination of the Pontiac brand, a nasty worldwide recession, and the preference of American vehicle shoppers for trucks or at least truck-shaped cars, few knew the G3 existed and fewer still thought to buy one. This is only the second G3 I've managed to find in a car graveyard, and I've been searching diligently.  So, it's a Junkyard Gem in the historical sense, not in the sense of being the kind of car you'd want to take to your 20th high school reunion. That said, it has power windows, air conditioning, and a CD player— pretty nice stuff for a dirt-cheap econobox from a decade back. And look! An AUX jack for your iPod or early-model smartphone. I drove dozens of cheap rental cars for my job with the 24 Hours of Lemons Traveling Circus during the late 2000s, and very few had this feature; until about 2013 or so, you had to travel with your own CDs or one of those horrible wireless FM modulators if you wanted to listen to anything other than the radio in a non-high-roller rental car. Under the hood, a 106-horse Daewoo Ecotec displacing 1.6 liters. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. If there were any television commercials for the G3, I guarantee that they weren't as fun as this one— set in the California high desert, of course— for the SKDM Kalos.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package

Sun, Dec 22 2019

Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

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.
