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. |

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials
Fri, Sep 11 2015Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
Remember when Pontiac made a Trans Am Kammback grocery getter?
Thu, Nov 8 2018Despite muscle cars having strong reputations as some of the most impractical cars one can buy, they've occasionally had one of the most useful and practical features a car can sport: a hatchback. In the 1980s, General Motors' Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird had one, and it added respectable utility to the sports cars. But the people at GM thought they could make the F-Body cars even more useful. So, after a few clay-model experiments, Pontiac built three examples of an extended-roof 1985 Pontiac Trans Am Kammback concept. Spotted by GM Authority, one of these Trans Am Kammbacks (although "shooting brake" seems like the more apt descriptor) is going on the block at the Mecum Kissimmee auction in early January 2019. Reportedly only three of these prototypes/experiments/test mules were built to driveable specs, and this example, VIN No. EX4796, has additional history that might make it the ultimate example. According to Mecum, the show car, which has made appearances at numerous auto shows, also spent some time at the race track — just not as a participant. It was used as a pace car for PPG and IMSA racing and temporarily had a light bar and "two-way communications equipment." Following its pace duty, and after GM stopped the project from going any further, it was put into Pontiac Engineering's private collection for 13 years. Famous Michigan car collector and Pontiac dealership owner John McMullen then bought the car. He eventually sent it to Pontiac specialist Scott Tiemann for a full restoration to the gorgeous condition it is in today. As seen in the photos, the Trans Am features white paint over a gray leather interior. It houses a 5.0-liter V8 under the hood and has a five-speed manual transmission. The wild concept is rare enough to be super cool, but we can't help but think of an infinitely more practical, more modern, more powerful, and arguably more interesting car we'd rather have. Manual Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon in Black Diamond anybody? Or, if you don't care about the extra doors, perhaps the Callaway's Corvette AeroWagen is more applicable. Either way, we're in full support of any shooting brakes we can find. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673
Fri, Apr 9 2021This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.
