                                   1967 Pontiac Grand Prix

  
This Grand Prix is a "survivor" car. It has survived being crushed twice! It is in amazing shape and I am glad that I was able to save it from a lesser fate! 

First off, This car does not have a Title. It will come with a bill of sale. If you would like me to title it it will be 300.00 and can take thirty to sixty days for it to arrive. 

Please make sure you take a close look at the pictures below in the description as there are many! If you have any questions about the car please call me at 512-297-4938.



This car has the Pontiac 400ci motor and I was told by the previous owner that it was rebuilt and had not been fired up yet. it comes with all of the brackets and the alternator. There are quite a few miscellaneous parts and I will make sure you get everything. Everything I see under the hood points to the fact that the motor was rebuilt and has yet to be fired up. I have most of the old valve springs and rockers for the heads. 

It has a right side fender that has been replaced and that is the only place where there is rust showing through other than the bottom of the vinyl top. The vinyl top has "marbles" under it like most do at this point in their life if they are the original vinyl and were not garage kept it's whole life. I cannot attest to what shape the roof is in underneath. 

Comes with the original transmission. I have no idea what shape it is in. It does not like to go into park half the time as it looks like the linkage is out of adjustment. The car has the original rear end as well. 

The body is incredibly straight and the doors shut with no issues, solid the way they should with no sag. 

The front windshield needs replaced. All other glass is original and the door windows still have the "GP" frosted in the glass! 

Interior is in really good shape for the year! Driver's side seat is just now starting to have a seam tear on the left upper side. The rear seats are showing places up at the top where there are seam issues. This is an original bucket seat console car! All the interior is original with the car and the door panels are immaculate! Some of the interior chrome is pitted and the dash has some cracking. Middle console opens and is in good shape. Headliner is sagging and is coming apart at the seams but all of the original material is still there. 

The underneath, floor boards, trunk, are solid! I could find no places showing holes or rust-through anywhere!

Needs tires. 

The right side fender, front nose piece, valance panel have been replaced on the front end. I have no idea exactly what the issues where as they were replaced before I purchased it. 

There are only so many hours in a day, month, year, and I have WAY too many projects going on all of the time. I have to decide what I can put my time into and the one's I can't I pass on and hope someone will purchase the car that will finish it up and do it justice. Especially this one as i'm a really big pontiac nut! Believe me, this one is hard to let go. 

This  will be the perfect car to restore! Or make into the hot rod of your dreams! 

I make no warranties about the condition of the vehicle whatsoever. Motor, transmission, rear end, or otherwise. All sales are final. If you have an issue please get a hold of me before E-Bay. I've yet to find anything that can't be worked out in the end. 

If you have any questions about the car please call me at 512-297-4938.

I reserve the right to end the auction as this vehicle is also for sale locally here in Austin Texas. 

Please understand that in winning the car you have signed a contract. You are obligated to send the deposit within 48hrs of the end of the auction and the car must be PAID IN FULL WITHIN SEVEN (7) DAYS OF THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTION. I WILL NOT GO BACK ON THIS. I have had too many people win the bid and then want to pay me three, four, sometimes a month or so later. I am not a finance company and will re-list the car on the 8th day if you do not hold up to your end of the contract as a buyer. Unfortunately too many people have taken advantage of the fact that I'm a pretty good guy and decided they would pay me whenever they wanted to. 

I will sell and ship anywhere in the world but the car must be paid in full money transferred and cleared into my bank account before releasing the car to you, a shipper, your friend, or anyone. This is just "good business." 

Good luck!

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ

Sat, Mar 4 2023

A couple of years before John DeLorean and his team at the Pontiac Division created the GTO by pasting a big engine and some gingerbread on the LeMans, they created a rakish, powerful coupe based on the staid full-size Catalina. This was the 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, which sold like crazy and escalated the personal luxury coupe war already brewing in Detroit. Starting with the 1969 model year, the Grand Prix switched to a smaller chassis (shared the following year with the new Chevrolet Monte Carlo), and all subsequent rear-wheel-drive Grand Prix (that is, through 1987) remained siblings of the Monte. Today's Junkyard Gem is a rare 1980 Grand Prix LJ, found in a self-service yard near Reno, Nevada. Sure, a fresh round of Middle East conflict had put a kink in America's fuel hose in 1979, leading to gas lines and a general sense of malaise, but at least the new Grand Prix looked extra sharp for 1980. The LJ package came with all sorts of appearance and comfort goodies, including these "luxury seats with loose-pillow design in New Florentine Cloth." A Pontiac Phoenix LJ was available as well. These seats must have been very comfortable when new. Who needed a Cadillac when Pontiac would sell you this car at a base MSRP of just $7,000 (about $26,704 in 2023 dollars)? That price was what you paid if you were willing to get the base 3.8-liter Buick V6, though. To get a V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor, you had to pay extra. If you did pay the extra for a V8, which one you got depended on which state you lived in; in California, you got this 305-cubic-inch (5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block), and in the other 49 states you got a 301-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) Pontiac. The 305 was rated at 150 horsepower with 230 pound-feet; the 301 made 140hp and 240 lb-ft. This car was originally bought in California (the state line is about ten miles away from its final parking spot), so it has the Chevy engine. The V8 added $195 (plus $250 for the California-only emissions system) to the out-the-door price of the car, or about $1,316 in 2023 dollars. Outside of California, a 4.3-liter Chevy V6 was available for just 80 additional bucks ($305 now). All 1980 Grand Prix got a three-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment, with no manual available from the factory. This car has the optional air conditioning, which cost $601 ($2,293 after inflation). This is the "Custom Sport" steering wheel, which was standard on the LJ. The tilt option cost $81 ($309 today).

German prosecutors have recorded calls between VW bigwigs talking dieselgate

Thu, Mar 21 2019

It's barely possible to believe how poorly Volkswagen continues to handle dieselgate. Depending on which day you catch the news, the German carmaker embodies the corporate venality of "Michael Clayton," the comic blundering of the Coen Brothers' "Burn After Reading," and the every-man-for-himself vengeance of "Reservoir Dogs." Today is Tarantino day, with news that German prosecutors have recordings of phone calls between former Audi and Porsche development boss Wolfgang Hatz, ex-Volkswagen Group executive Matthias Muller, and current Porsche executives Oliver Blume and Michael Steiner. Hatz made the calls to the trio in November 2015, two months after Volkswagen admitted its diesel-particulate sins to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Hatz was still employed at the time, and in his company car. Who recorded the calls? His wife. Hatz and his missus apparently saw the storm coming and started stacking defenses early. Hatz's wife, who can be heard encouraging Hatz during at least one call, sent the recordings to Hatz's attorney from her mobile phone. According to a Google translation of the German newspaper Handelsblatt's report, she included the note, "Here is a very long, but quite informative conversation on the current situation with useful formulations." The report in Handelsblatt said that in Germany it is generally "not allowed" to record a conversation and pass it on to a third party. We don't know how the authorities will handle this matter, since prosecutors found the recordings in e-mail attachments on Mrs. Hatz's mobile phone. Remember, when the diesel scandal broke, VW spent months saying that only a small number of low-level personnel were behind it, and all of the higher-ups had been blindsided. Ex-CEO Martin Winterkorn claimed to be "stunned that misconduct on such a scale was possible in the Volkswagen Group." Winterkorn successor Matthias Muller said, "according to current information, a few developers interfered in the engine management." Former VW USA honcho Michael Horn told a congressional committee that "a couple of software engineers" programmed the software for reasons no one could understand. In the recorded conversations, Hatz apparently called Muller to find out how VW planned to treat him.

Woman Cleared In Fatal Car Wreck After GM Letter

Tue, Nov 25 2014

A Texas judge cleared a woman Monday for a car accident that killed her fiance in 2004, after General Motors acknowledged that her car would have been among millions being recalled for a problem that may have contributed to the death. Candice Anderson was driving a 2004 Saturn Ion when it suddenly veered off a road about 60 miles east of Dallas and slammed into a tree. Anderson, then 21, was severely injured when the car's air bags failed to deploy. Her 25-year-old fiance, Gene Erikson, who was a passenger, was killed. She later pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the wreck. But during a hearing Monday, State District Judge Teresa Drum expunged the conviction from her record, according to officials in the Van Zandt County court andAnderson's attorney, Bob Hilliard. In a letter given to the court ahead of the hearing, an attorney for the automaker confirmed that Anderson's Saturn would have been among 2.6 million GM vehicles recalled in February to address ignition switches that can slip out of the "run" position, causing the engines to stall and disabling power steering, brakes and air bags. Anderson's crash "is one in which the recall condition may have caused or contributed to the frontal air bag non-deployment in the accident," attorney Richard C. Godfrey wrote. Hilliard provided a copy of the letter to The Associated Press, and Godfrey confirmed its contents Monday. Anderson was initially charged with criminally negligent homicide because there was no clear explanation at the time why the wreck occurred, according to court documents from the case. She pleaded guilty to a letter charge in 2006, and was sentenced to five years' probation. She also was ordered to perform 260 hours of community service, pay court costs and cover the costs of Erikson's funeral. "GM knew this defect caused this death, yet instead of telling the truth watched silently as Candice was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter," Hilliard said Monday. "It took 10 years for GM to find its voice." In a separate statement issued by the company, GM said it "cooperated fully by providing technical information that was requested to make a decision in this matter." The carmaker also said the issue in Anderson's case was for local law enforcement and courts to consider. "That's why we took a neutral position on Ms. Anderson's case," the company's statement said. "It was appropriate for the court to determine the legal status of Ms.
