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

Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures

Tue, Jun 23 2020

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski  Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Pontiac G6 GT Convertible

Sun, Jan 8 2023

GM's Pontiac Division sold its first convertibles during the 1927 model year (just a year after the division's creation), then proceeded to offer memorable drop-tops for most of the following 83 years. The best-selling convertible to bear Pontiac badges during our current century was the retractable-hardtop-equipped G6, available from the G6's introduction in 2006 through the second-to-last model year of 2009 (the Sunfire convertible was available just through 2000, while the Firebird convertible vanished with the demise of the slow-selling Firebird itself after 2002). Here's one of those G6 GT convertibles, found in a Denver-region boneyard after a crash ended its driving career. Mashed right front, popped airbags. This sort of damage might have been worth repairing in 2009, but not today. The 2007 G6 was available as a coupe, sedan, or convertible. All the convertibles had the GT trim level and the 3.5-liter V6 and its 224 horsepower. The MSRP on this car was $28,750 (about $42,325 in 2022 dollars), making it the most expensive G6. The power hardtop roof folded up into the trunk, leaving 1.8 cubic feet of trunk storage space with the top down. This Karmann-designed roof system made the interior much quieter than that of a traditional soft-top convertible. All G6s were built at Orion Assembly in Michigan, where Chevy Bolts are born today. The G6 was built through the 2010 model year, making it one of the very last Pontiac models (the Vibe also made it to 2010, though it was really a Toyota Matrix). In hindsight, 2007 turned out to be an ominous year for GM. 

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe

Sat, Jun 11 2022

General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.
