1969 Pontiac GTO "The Judge"                                                                        This is a rare opportunity to own one of the nicest factory Pontiac GTO Judge Ram-Air III's left in existence.  This is an authentic code 242 GTO with the extremely rare special ordered code 72 Carousel Red paint and "The Judge" option. The data plate shown in the pictures verifies all of the information on this Judge. This hard to find goat is fully documented by the Pontiac Historical Society, and is also in the Judge Registry. This GTO was an original rust free Texas car that has always been absent of rust and corrosion from day one. It was purchased brand new from Taylor Pontiac located at 128 S. Lancaster Avenue in Dallas Texas. I made the purchase in January of 2010 from the Auto Worx Classic Car Museum in Hollywood Florida where it was admired for many years. This is the first public offering, so take advantage and bid today. This true Judge went through a meticulous full cosmetic and mechanical restoration. The body panels were removed to be painted off of the car. The front windshield and rear window were also removed. This was an accurate and correct restoration to insure that the body would come out laser straight. The factory original functioning Ram-Air hood has the awesome hood tachometer option that works beautifully, and lights up well at night. The Ram-Air III numbers matching Big Block 400 was completely rebuilt to factory specifications. The original Turbo Hydromatic 400 transmission was also completely rebuilt. This Pontiac GTO with the Judge option starts, drives, and stops as well as the mileage showing on the odometer, although it can not be verified as original. This car plain and simply runs, looks, and drives like new. The head lights, bright lights, turn signals, emergency lights, license plate light, side marker lights, and interior lights all work as they should. The dual exhaust is entirely new with correct pipes including the mufflers, and the correct chrome exhaust tips for the 1969 GTO. This goat has power steering and the wood wheel is in pristine condition. Anyone who knows these cars, knows how rare the center PMD horn button is. The original dash pad is in mint condition, and the speedometer is accurate with all the gauges working correctly. The factory options include the unique Judge spoiler, rally gauges, clock, remote controlled chrome drivers mirror, and power front disc brakes. The entire braking system has been completely gone through to allow this goat stop on a dime. The entire interior was reupholstered, including the bucket seats, rear seat, all the side panels, carpeting, new door sills, and all new rubber gaskets. This car originally came with an AM radio, but now has a factory AM/FM, although the speaker needs to be replaced. The original factory air conditioning is completely hooked up, but will need an R-12 Freon charge. The original 1969 factory Pontiac owner's manual is included inside the glove box. I tried to replace all of the factory correct decals to make this Judge appear the way it did when it rolled out of the factory onto the showroom floor back in 1969. This Judge rides on a brand new set of four raised white lettered B. F. Goodrich Advantage GT radials on the Pontiac rally wheels with all new PMD center caps, and all new correct GTO lug nuts. The rock solid undercarriage was detailed with black satin paint, and a new gas tank was installed. The trunk compartment was coated with AC Delco black and aqua spatter spray, and then clear coat was applied to make it appear factory correct. A nicely restored original jack sits on top of a new trunk mat. There is a full size detailed rally wheel spare in case there is a mishap on the road. With a quick tire change you can be back driving looking complete in minutes. This GTO still has its original "Safety Track" 10-bolt Posi-traction rear-end. The majority of "The Judge" models had a manual transmission. This car is one of 1534 built with an automatic transmission making this particular Judge even more rare and highly desirable with factory ordered air conditioning. An exorbitant amount of pain staking hours, time, money, and effort went into restoring this Judge to show quality status. The Nada Classic Car Price Guide that anyone can look up on line has the 1969 Pontiac GTO with the Ram-Air 400/366 horsepower engine, and the air conditioning option currently listed at $156,465 in high condition, $67,905 in average condition, and $33,885 in the lowest condition. The condition of this Judge is virtually perfect, yet the reserve price is much less than the average Nada value of this gem. This is a True Carousel Red beauty that I feel confident when I say there will be no disappointments. This Judge is as close to factory fresh as they come. I believe everywhere this car is driven, you will be the spectacle of the neighborhood. This Pontiac is an investment that will continue to rise as these cars have proven to consistently escalate in value. This car is for the guy or girl that always wanted one back in high school, or maybe wants to show off at their high school reunion to prove how cool they still are. Here is a prime opportunity to acquire your dream car in this "No Reserve" auction. I try to list everything I can think of when I write a description, so every potential bidder can make the most informed decision prior to placing their bid. If you feel I may have left anything out please ask as many questions as you like. I pride myself in answering every question in explicit detail with the utmost honesty. Feel free to call Ian at 773/551-5075 to ask any questions or to arrange an inspection prior to the end of the auction. All inspections must be done prior to winning the car. The pictures shown really don't do this Judge justice! This spectacular Pontiac is selling at "No Reserve", so it will have a new home on Sunday evening at 5:00pm Pacific, 7:00pm Central, or 8:00pm Eastern time depending on your location. Take advantage of this first time offering and bid now, and bid often. No point in waiting until the last minute. This Judge will sell to the highest bidder! This sweet GTO is part of my personal collection located in Hollywood Florida. I am seven miles from the Fort Lauderdale Airport, so the winner can fly in and drive home. I believe this car can be driven anywhere with confidence. There are still plenty of car shows to attend this season!! Thank You for taking the time to view my auction!!! Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Junkyard Gem: 1997 Pontiac Sunfire SE Convertible

Sun, Mar 5 2023

For the entire 24-year production run of the GM J platform (best known for the Chevrolet Cavalier), the Pontiac Division offered new J-Body cars for sale in the United States. First there was the J2000, followed in quick succession by the 2000, 2000 Sunbird and Sunbird. The Sunbird stuck around until the Cavalier got a major redesign for the 1995 model year, at which point Pontiac changed the car's name to Sunfire. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those early Sunfires, a top-of-the-line SE convertible with the optional big engine and manual transmission. The Sunfire was an extremely close sibling to the same-year Cavalier (by the late 1980s, all the other US-market GM divisions had dropped their J-cars, which meant no more Skyhawks, Cimarrons or Firenzas), quite difficult to distinguish from its near-twin at a glance. The base engine for the 1997 Sunfire convertible was the pushrod 2.2-liter straight-four that powered so many J-bodies of the 1990s. That engine produced just 120 gnashing, valve-floating horsepower, not much by late-1990s standards. For a mere 450 additional dollars, however, the 2.4-liter Twin Cam engine and its high-revving 150 horses could be had by '97 Sunfire buyers. That's what's in this car. This is one of the members of the Oldsmobile Quad 4 family, though some fanatics will yell at you if you apply that name to the versions that don't have big QUAD 4 lettering cast into the valve cover. This is the most powerful engine ever used in production Sunfires. For 1997, Pontiac offered a four-speed automatic transmission for no extra cost in the Sunfire convertible. Buyers of all other Sunfire models that year had to shell out either $550 or $810 ($1,026 or $1,511 in 2023 dollars) for a two-pedal rig. That means that the buyer of this car really wanted the five-speed manual transmission (or just hungered for the $810 credit offered in the fine print for takers of the manual). Plenty of free-breathing engine power, five-on-the-floor driving enjoyment and the open skies above. What a fun car! This one made it to nearly 180,000 miles. For this car with the Quad 4 under the hood and a clutch pedal on the floor, the MSRP was $18,539 (about $34,584 today). Its Cavalier LS convertible twin with the same engine/transmission setup cost $17,365 ($32,394 now). This car has a bunch of options, including the 15" Rally aluminum wheels, so the out-the-door price would have been higher. The last year for the Sunfire was 2005, same as the Cavalier.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
