Hello all,  Here is a great example of a super rare Pontiac. This Star Chief coupe is a great driver and is ready for a new owner to enjoy now. She is matching numbers and mostly all original with just maintenance and upkeep being preformed as needed through out her life. A vast stack of records and receipts are included chronicling her 57 year existence. On to the car!   The 347 engine and auto tranny preform amazing and really move this car down the road. BOTH have been rebuilt with RECEIPTS to verify the work preformed. She idles nicely and the exhaust puts out a great sound when you put your foot into it, not too loud, but not to quiet either. She runs down the highway great with plenty of power. No smoke or strange noises from the engine or tranny with both performing as they should. She does like to warm up for a couple of minutes before setting out. The original carb is included and has been rebuilt, has a edelbrock on her now that works great. New original fuel pump is also included, running an electric pump. These basic upgrades really help to make the car preform more reliably, but can be switched back if need be.   The body and undercarriage on this car is as rust free as one could hope for, even with factory markings on the frame. The previous owner stated that this is an original brown car, and a quite unusual color combo with the blue on white interior, but it works and is super 50's. The car was repainted some time ago and is showing rock chips,scratches etc, but still looks good from a couple feet. This was the one thing that was planed to do, was a repaint, just to take the car to the next level. Paint is ok for a driver though. The biggest thing i can stress is how rust free this car appears to be with no previous rust repair being done that i have found. There is a couple minor dings etc, but nothing major.Stainless is mostly in great shape, chrome is all original and some is showing minor wear etc from being almost 60 years old.   The interior shows very nice and is very functional just the way it is. Seats are in great shape, headliner is beautiful, most of the chrome and stainless on the inside is in great shape. Dash is uncut, factory radio hole is just covered up is all, but factory radio is included and was rebuilt. Newer cd player is in glovebox. The fuel gauge is intermittent and will need attention. Everything else works! even the lights come on when you open the doors.   All in all, This is a great example of a rare pontiac in driver form with nothing being needed to take her out on a cruise. The new owner can preform various restoration or beautifying procedures as they see fit. This is not a restored show car or trailer queen, but a great driver quality car that hasn't been affected like so many by rust issues. I am helping a buddy sell the car who sadly cannot afford to keep it after recently purchasing her. There is a buy it now in mind, but due to scammers who just hit the button please contact me for more info. If you are serious about the car feel free to give a call at 425-802-8682 to discuss further. I reserve the right to sell the car locally, so good luck to everyone and happy bidding.  photo DSC03285_zpsca939885.jpg photo DSC03286_zps6b122a14.jpg photo DSC03287_zps96b42ac5.jpg photo DSC03288_zpsa2a4b90b.jpg photo DSC03289_zps4ca231ad.jpg photo DSC03290_zps72680505.jpg photo DSC03291_zps8f283827.jpg photo DSC03292_zpsb0b2d832.jpg photo DSC03293_zpsc58a75ae.jpg photo DSC03294_zps17844f27.jpg photo DSC03295_zps16dda21a.jpg photo DSC03296_zps6f7599d3.jpg photo DSC03297_zps1a4baae7.jpg photo DSC03298_zpsd32e4891.jpg photo DSC03299_zpsc3c94e11.jpg photo DSC03300_zpsca1d775f.jpg photo DSC03301_zps256d09d0.jpg photo DSC03302_zpsc911d62a.jpg photo DSC03303_zpsb0d32fe6.jpg photo DSC03304_zpsc4363bca.jpg photo DSC03306_zpscc33fb6f.jpg photo DSC03307_zps917e4d4a.jpg photo DSC03308_zps08c7b50c.jpg photo DSC03309_zpsafc3c6b3.jpg photo DSC03310_zps92ffdd9d.jpg photo DSC03311_zps7a9feeba.jpg photo DSC03312_zpsf2e22796.jpg photo DSC03313_zpse2e00b21.jpg photo DSC03314_zps72a47f05.jpg photo DSC03315_zps565af94b.jpg photo DSC03316_zps87aa5eeb.jpg photo DSC03317_zps97fabb53.jpg photo DSC03318_zpsac187de8.jpg photo DSC03319_zpsd96c39a6.jpg photo DSC03321_zps338fc6a3.jpg photo DSC03322_zpsb5215842.jpg photo DSC03323_zps23f64e98.jpg photo DSC03324_zpsfa342727.jpg photo DSC03325_zps9109025b.jpg photo DSC03327_zps855a26d0.jpg photo DSC03328_zps3e3fa522.jpg photo DSC03329_zps2622fae1.jpg photo DSC03330_zps63803406.jpg photo DSC03331_zpsd1a735d7.jpg photo DSC03333_zps94b44f98.jpg photo DSC03334_zpsf0aab539.jpg photo DSC03336_zpsb98dfc39.jpg photo DSC03337_zps641add03.jpg photo DSC03338_zps5a8cd333.jpg photo DSC03340_zps3d229621.jpg photo DSC03341_zpsf6a75eee.jpg photo DSC03343_zpsd63c030f.jpg photo DSC03344_zpsd1187a03.jpg photo DSC03345_zps701260e0.jpg photo DSC03346_zps032eb9e5.jpg photo DSC03347_zpsda96c5c1.jpg photo DSC03348_zps57af63d3.jpg photo DSC03349_zps3d7c8e5a.jpg photo DSC03351_zpsd8c19f9d.jpg photo DSC03353_zps25f818f9.jpg photo DSC03356_zps00b1c270.jpg photo DSC03357_zpsa84b2055.jpg photo DSC03358_zps5e23fad1.jpg photo DSC03359_zpsc0d8e6c9.jpg photo DSC03361_zpsebd92d38.jpg photo DSC03362_zpsa0615fbe.jpg photo DSC03363_zps0d40602d.jpg photo DSC03364_zps7ebfa3bf.jpg photo DSC03365_zpse014d74d.jpg photo DSC03366_zps8cdd4347.jpg photo DSC03369_zpsf4debbc4.jpg photo DSC03371_zpsd1425850.jpg photo DSC03374_zpsb0a305e7.jpg photo DSC03375_zps1df66948.jpg photo DSC03377_zpsa3280de4.jpg

The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction

Sat, Apr 4 2020

Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction.  As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country.  In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals.  This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer.  The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information.

Florida man runs down bikers in traffic

Tue, May 31 2016

A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Firebird

Sat, May 9 2020

From 1967 through 2002, the Pontiac Division offered the Firebird, close sibling to the Chevrolet Camaro. By the third generation, which debuted for the 1982 model year, it became more difficult to tell the two F-body cars apart at a glance and the Pontiac-exclusive engines of the earlier years disappeared, but the Firebird still retained its own personality and its own position in the GM marketing hierarchy. I still find the occasional 1982-1992 Camaro as I search car graveyards for interesting stuff, but the corresponding Firebirds have become scarce in recent years. Here's a base-engine-equipped '87, its Bright Red paint (yes, that was the official name for the color) faded by the Colorado sun as it awaits the crusher. Firebird shoppers had their choice of three engines in 1987: A 5.7-liter Chevy V8 (210 hp), a 5.0-liter Chevy V8 (205 hp) and the same 2.8-liter 60° V6 that went into the Fiero and countless front-drive GM sedans (135 hp). This car has the base engine. The third-gen F-body didn't weigh much (3,105 pounds for the '87 with six-banger, about what a 2020 Corolla weighs), so 135 horses was tolerable. Plenty of these cars got T-5 5-speed manual transmissions, but this one got the two-pedal setup. Camaro wheels, of course. Our Friend the Carburetor didn't disappear from new cars until the early 1990s in the United States, though electronic fuel injection had become very commonplace by 1987. Still, GM considered this car's EFI worth a door-handle brag. It's not worth fixing up a mashed six-cylinder third-gen Firebird, so we can see the route this car took to its final parking space.
