1962 Pontiac Grand Prix - Cold Ac, Tri Power & 8 Lugs on 2040-cars
Keller, Texas, United States
1962 Pontiac Grand Prix – First year of GP and a one year
only body style. Far less common than
63+ with stacked headlights. This car is Grand Prix white over red upholstery. To my knowledge this car started out as a 421
non Air conditioned automatic. It now
has a late 60s 400 with 400 Turbo trans, super authentic 65 Tri Power set up,
with alternator and an aftermarket 60s style UNDERDASH AC which blows
COLD. Compressor was painted satin black
to mimic the original Frigidaire units. So, while not numbers matching, this car is extremely authentic
looking and very very period correct.
Some of the details: ·
Correct 1962 8 lug wheels with correct center
caps/trim rings and period correct red line tires ·
Correct Delco tar Top battery, although it has solid
gel maintenance free guts ·
Correct battery cables ·
Correct hose clamps, be they top post or pinch style ·
Correct Optikleen bottle ·
Correct stainless wipers ·
Correct hoses ·
Correct spark plug wires ·
Correct spark plug wire looms ·
Correct radiator coolant cap ·
Correct radiator coolant tag ·
Correct fuel filter ·
Reproduction carburetor tags ·
Correct chrome valve covers and tall breather ·
Correct decals for rad, fan and battery under hood ·
New under hood insulation ·
Patented “Mouse Trap” seat belt retractors with
correct operational tags ·
Optional Door handle scuff plates ·
Optional Stainless gas tank cap trim ·
Correct console mounted vacuum gage ·
Period correct 120 degree sweep tachometer, steering column
mounted ·
Original clear and red wheel with gold logo Grand Prix
center ·
No glass problems ·
Optional Reel type truck light(not working) ·
Perfect original headliner with 2 side mounted dome
lights ·
Original Pontiac/Delco AM radio in dash. Aftermarket AM/FM stereo in glove box. ·
Vintage decals/stickers in quarter windows and on rear
bumper. All will come off, or keep on
for that authentic look. When is the
last time you saw a cool car on the road with a Goldwater for President sticker? ·
1962 TX plates.
Matching front and rear AC blows
cold, lights/horn works, car runs strong, and paint is very very nice. NO tears in the upholstery, power steering is
tight and car tracts well. Car “needs”
nothing and starts right up. Since 98%
of what can be done is done and I have just retired, it’s time to throttle back
and downsize. My loss is your gain. Go to any car show and be the only one with
an “original” 421 Tri Power AC 8 lug wheel GP in white with a RED interior no
less. You will see far more 409 Chevies
at car shows than 421 GPs. Ask
questions or bid on this rare and great 50+ year old car, which I gotta say is
sold as is. Nick - yellowtestarossa@aol.com |

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

This KITT replica sold at auction for $32,500
Thu, Apr 23 2020UPDATE: This 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am KITT replica officially sold for $32,500. Here's hoping the new owner has a blast throwin' it into Pursuit Mode. Let's get one thing straight right off the bat: This isn't a perfect KITT replica. The original KITT used in the Knight Rider TV series was based on a 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. The one you see above, which is currently for sale at auction site Bring A Trailer, is a 1987 model, and since it's a GTA edition, it has some extra body cladding that the smooth-sided television car lacked. That aside, most casual observers would probably never notice the difference, and even those who did (like us) are still likely to be impressed by the car's transformation. This KITT replica is powered by a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. It ought to be fairly quick, though quite a bit shy of the fictional car's very fictional 300-mph top speed. We're not exactly Knight Rider experts, but some quick Google sleuthing suggests that the Knight Industries Two Thousand supposedly cost more than $11,000,000 to build in Hollywoodland. This one will surely command a significantly lower sum — as of this writing, it's been bid up to $18,000 with four days remaining on the auction. This content is hosted by a third party.

There are several videos of the car that detail its modifications inside and out, but suffice it to say it seems to be a well-sorted replica. Here's hoping its new owner keeps it well clear of other KARRs. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Want to buy a worst-in-show-winning Faux Ferrari Fiero?
Mon, Aug 31 2020UPDATE: This heap sold for $5,001. But don't fret, there are more terrible cars out there for the taking if that's your thing. Today we bring you something truly terrible. It's not just a fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero, it's actually the world's worst fake Ferrari built on the guts of an old Pontiac Fiero. And it's got the award from the Concours d'Lemons to prove it. It's so heinous, in fact, that it has somehow managed to become desirable, at least judging by the bidding history of this bright red affront to Maranello. Powered by a 140-horsepower 2.8-liter V6 engine (covered by an unconvincing and broken fake V12 cover) hooked to an automatic gearbox, this gloriously poor Prancing Horse won't be winning many stoplight drag races. There are bundles of stray wires hanging down from the dashboard, it has high mileage, most of its lights don't work, and it's ugly. Like, really ugly. And to top it off, this Fauxrarri can't currently be registered in its home state of California because it has failed its most recent smog test. Put simply, you're looking at a total piece of junk. But a piece of junk with internet notoriety, having been featured on an episode of Jay Leno's Garage after attending the 2019 Quail Motorsports Gathering — by mistake at first, and then earning a special place next to the porta potties — being the focus of a video series on YouTube and winning the aforementioned ribbon for Worst in Show at Lemons. Somehow, bidding has topped $4,000 at the time of this writing. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
