1964 Pontiac Grand Prix on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
Here is a beautiful, rust-free Grand Prix that runs and drives exactly as it should. I am the third owner of this car. I bought it in 1983 and since then it has never spent a night outside, nor has it been wet. I have all receipts and maintenance records for the period I've owned it. It is a California black plate car; I was told it was bought new in Oakland. It has the original 303 HP 389 V8 with four-barrel carb (rated at 425 lbs. torque), factory dual exhaust, a set of excellent eight-lug wheels, and power brakes and steering. It has the correct B.F. Goodrich 850-14 tires. It was repainted in the original Aquamarine. The paint has some blemishes and nicks, and there is a scratch behind the right rear wheel. The engine has been completely rebuilt and has approximately 30,300 miles. The Roto Hydramatic operates perfectly and does not leak. The brakes and battery were replaced last September. I have the owner's manual and shop manuals.
The white interior and headliner are original, with the driver's seat showing a bit of wear. The carpet is also original and worn. The dash pad and steering wheel have no cracks because the car was never left in the sun, and the package shelf and rear speaker look like new. All gauges, including the manifold pressure gauge, work, as do the AM radio and trunk light. The wood on the dash and steering wheel look great, and there are four original T3 headlights. The door panels and glass are in good shape. The window rubber on the left door is worn and the window rattles a little if it's part way down. The heater core is missing, lost years ago by a radiator shop. I never had occasion to use the heater, so I didn't replace it. Take a look at the photos and you'll see (or remember) why these cars were so popular back in 1964. If you have questions, please call me: Robert, 415-242-9404. Winner must provide a $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of winning bid. The balance must be provided by certified bank check or cash within seven days of winning bid. Title will be transferred once funds clear my bank. |

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
Motorweek looks back at the Pontiac Aztek
Thu, Jul 9 2015The Pontiac Aztek has earned a position as this generation's ultimate, automotive punchline. Even other execrable models like the Yugo or Mustang II probably get more respect these days just out of their sheer quirkiness, but the Aztek remains a joke. Fortify your mind for what's coming, though, because the much-maligned Pontiac might not be quite so atrocious, at least according to MotorWeek's latest Retro Review video. MotorWeek calls the Aztek, "GM's first true crossover vehicle," and it's amazing to think of the hated model as a progenitor of one of the most popular segments today. While admitting that the looks are polarizing, John Davis and company actually come away pleased with the Aztek's utility. They praise that there's a ton of room in the back, and the interior is packed with useful features like a removable cooler in the center console and radio controls in a cargo area. The show is even impressed with how the Pontiac drives and throws around accolades like "nimble" and "pleasant." After seeing the Aztek leading the pack on lists of the worst vehicles of all time for years, listening to it get such effusive praise is actually quite jarring. Could we all be so wrong? No, there's absolutely no debate that this is still a hideous automobile. However, MotorWeek asserts a complete reversal of the generally perceived wisdom about the early CUV. While unexpected, thinking about such an abhorred model in a different way is a cool experience. Check out the video for a different take on the Aztek.
Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day
Thu, 07 Jun 2012Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
