Offered for sale is my 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix. The car was purchased during the summer of 1998. The engine is a 389. It was slightly bored, and the heads were done over for leaded gas. It has the 3x2 cam, with 283 intake, 293 duration, and 411 lift. An Edelbrock 600 with vacuum secondary’s is mounted on the stock intake. Last year the water pump, timing chain, and harmonic balancer were replaced. Oil and filter were changed every spring and fall, whether I put on 250 miles or 10 miles. Last spring I replaced the distributor cap, rotor, plugs wires, and the ignition coil. The original slim-jim tranny was replaced with a Turbo 350 with a shift kit, and a hardened second gear sprag. I also install a 2500 stall converter. The speedometer was recalibrated for the new tranny. The rear end is the stock open differential. The exhaust is stock manifolds dumping into Flowmaster 40's turned out before the rear wheels finished with stainless steel exhaust tips. The 8 lug wheel/drums were refurbished units with new liners, painted the correct silver for the 1963 model year. All the brake shoes were replaced when the new drums were installed. The center caps for the wheels had dings removed and were reconditioned. The trim rings have some dents in them. The tires are Firestone Firehawks. All of these items have less than 10,000 miles on them. The interior still has the original dash, front and rear seats, door panels. The headliner, carpet, and the rear deck shelf have been replaced. Other new items that were installed are... new door locks and center console lock, new weather-stripping for doors and trunk lid, new windshield, new trunk liner. I also replaced some of the exterior emblems. I left the original AM/FM radio in the dash, but installed a Pioneer AM/FM/CD in the glove compartment. I have a new liner for the the glove compartment. The original radio doesn't work well. The black paint is single stage black urethane, which has been wet sanded and buffed out. Bumpers have NOT been rechromed... They have no dents, but have some places that have the chrome worn down to silver spots. Charging system has been upgraded to an internal regulated alternator. I have the original alternator... and I left the external voltage regulator in it's spot for visual appeal, but it has been disconnected. All lights work, including backup and license plate bulbs. Car is slightly modified, with a functional super duty hood scoop, and aftermarket tach. However it can easily be returned to stock. All that needs to be done is let some air out of the rear air shocks, unscrew the hose clamp and remove the tach, and replace the hood with the original (unpainted!) hood that is included with the car. Lastly... car comes with some extras...spare window motors, balancing plate for the 8-lug wheels, the original UNPAINTED hood, a spare glove compartment drawer, and a dust cover for storage. Also you get the Pontiac Historic Services package detailing the codes and build info on this very car, and a copy of the window sticker. Also I will give you all the receipts I have for all the parts I purchased for the car. Now the bad point… The car spent its entire life in western N.Y., there is rust under the car. The frame has some areas of rust-through on it. The frame had some repairs done to it before I purchased it. I have not done any work on the frame at all. The car runs and drives well, and hasn’t seen a winter since before 1996, but the trunk body mounts are rusted. Look at the pictures I posted, and understand what I am telling you. I haven’t had any problems with the frame, and the door and fender gaps are as perfect as when it was painted in 2006. Whether you want to repair or replace the frame, or just drive it as it is, you would be hard pressed to find a vehicle with all this work done for this price. This is a nice 7 year old restoration that still looks and runs great. My price is in the ballpark for parting out the car. I just can’t bring myself to tear the car apart… it still has a lot of good times left in it. I have more pictures, if you want to see them before you come out to look at the car. $1000.00 deposit will hold the car for 7 days, if no payment, I will notify Ebay, and then I move on to the next buyer. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Submit any questions through an email, and I will answer them as soon as possible. |

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Enter now to win this impeccably restored 1969 Pontiac GTO
Wed, Feb 16 2022Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze. Normally when we post about Omaze, it is about some kind of incredible car sweepstakes. Today, well, to be honest, it is more of the same, but in the case of this tastefully done 1969 Pontiac GTO, we don’t even care if you head over to the sweepstakes page to enter, just do it for the photos. ThatÂ’s right. As a self-described automotive photography snob myself, I have to say that the photos of this GTO are far and away the best IÂ’ve ever seen on Omaze. And while youÂ’re over there, might as well enter the drawing. Who doesnÂ’t want that lean, green, muscle machine in their driveway? IÂ’m more of a fastback Mustang guy, and even I was drooling over that GTO. Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Here are the specs of the restored 1969 Pontiac GTO in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: 461 ci fuel-injected V8 Transmission: Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual Drivetrain: RWD Exterior Color: Verdero Green Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 575 hp Maximum Torque: 620 lb-ft Approximate Retail Value: $100,000 Cash Alt: $75,000 Special Features: Butler Performance-built EFI 461, Fast EFI v2.1, 3.73 Gears with Eaton Posi Traction, Wilwood 6-piston brakes with hydroboost, Ridetech Coilovers and muscle bars, Chassis Works billet drop spindles, staggered 18” Budnik billet wheels, Budnik steering wheel IÂ’m not the only one on the Autoblog staff who thinks this restoration is worthy of a little praise. News Editor Joel Stocksdale picked it above all the other current Omaze offerings for our holiday staff picks post. HereÂ’s what he had to say: “There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod. And a lot of those ways can be boring or tasteless. This one is neither. This is a seriously classy Pontiac GTO. Under the hood is a 461 cu. in. V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals. And the interior is the same with just an upgraded steering wheel, shifter and pedals in an otherwise stock cabin. Oh, and it has a manual.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
