This is an auction for a unique opportunity. What I have is a 1962 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible that is in the process of a full body off restoration that I estimate to be about 85% - 90% complete. Take a look at the pictures and feel free to call me if you would like to ask detailed questions. I have over $35,000 invested in body/paint/engine/trans/parts for the car. I do have a 1962 Bonneville convertible parts car without a title. You are welcome to that as well or any parts from it if I don't sell it before this project sells but you really do not need anything significant to finish the other car. My reason for selling is that I have sold my shop building and don't have any place to complete the car nor any real opportunity because of my job to finish. My loss will truly be someone else's gain.


I have all receipts for the car from the beginning and they will attest to the amount of my investment. All the receipts and history of the car will be given to the winner. The engine is a 1969 428 CID Pontiac four bolt main balanced and blueprinted by a top notch speed shop in Port St Lucie, FL It includes a Offenhauser dual quad intake and two Holley Carbs. The expected horsepower is 575HP. with a brand new T10 Four speed transmission. It has Dual Exhaust aluminized 2 1/2" in diameter. The frame was blasted and painted with Por 15 and every fastener and part was replaced if needed. New body mounts, gas tank all wheel and brake components etc. All body and paint work has been completed by a master local body shop and the car looks great. 

The interior is brand new to original specs. I have all the restored interior with the exception of the drivers side bucket seat which was consumed in a fire. (long story) so you will need to get a different seat and have it upholstered to match. I have the convertible top canvas/pad and all brand new hardware to install. I do not have a rear widow for the top. 
The side moldings on the car are NOS originals except the left front fender and the drivers door. Again please look at the pictures closely and please ask your questions in advance. I can't monitor my email all day but I will get back to you as quickly as I can. The car will have to be trailered so please keep that in mind. You are encouraged to come and see the car for yourself but you will need to set up an appointment to do so.
I have a clear title for the car. The extra parts car does not have a title so it must be used for parts only. I still have plenty of good body parts and the frame so if you wanted to part it out you could recover some of your costs. I'm sure I am leaving something out but not intentionally. Again please feel free to give me a call if you want to discuss any details. Contact me through ebay and I will send you my phone number.

I am not able to offer a warrantee for obvious reasons but you will not be disappointed once you see the car and all the extras that come with it. It could be finished up in a short period of time if you have the place and opportunity to get at it. 
I require a $500 deposit through Paypal within 24 hours of the auction end and the balance within 5 days of the auction end. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs but I will assist you in any way I can. 
The reserve price already represents a considerable loss on my part so please respect that I can't give it away. Also please plan to pick ip up within 20 days unless we have agreed to other arrangements. I did sell my building so I need to have it gone soon. Thanks for looking and reading this entire description and good luck with the auction!  PLEASE ARRANGE YOUR FINANCING IN ADVANCE and PLEASE DO NOT WASTE MY TIME IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO COMPLETE THE SALE. 
THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO CASH IN ON ALL MY EXPENSE AND WORK AND ONE THAT MAY NEVER COME ALONG AGAIN.

Burt Reynolds' old Pontiac Trans Am replica sold for $317,500

Thu, Jun 20 2019

Following Burt Reynolds' passing last September, Julien's Auctions held an estate sale of the late actor's property on June 15-16 in Beverly Hills, Calif. Hundreds of items were included in the auction, but none more valuable than the Pontiac Trans Am Bandit replica previously owned by Reynolds. It easily surpassed expectations when it sold for $317,500. Julien's, the self-proclaimed experts in contemporary and pop culture, listed 876 pieces in the sale, from cowboy boots to a driver's license to scripts. The online preview said it estimated a range of prices from $25 to $200,000. They were way off. Item No. 716 was a replica of a Pontiac Trans Am Bandit that was seen in the original "Smokey and the Bandit." Not the real car, just a re-creation. But its value comes more from who owned the ride rather than what the car was. The replica was owned by Reynolds for some years, and now that he's passed, it's coveted even more. It's not the only Trans Am item that sold at auction. Three Reynolds Trans Am model cars sold for $640, $576 and $512. A Reynolds-signed "Bandit" poster sold for $3,200. A Reynolds-signed poster from the Trans Am plant sold for $1,562.50, a Reynolds custom-built Trans Am office desk sold for $4,375, and a "Smokey and the Bandit" decorative etched glass panel sold for $896. This isn't the first time a Bandit replica has sold for big money. In 2016, a promotional Trans Am sold at a Barrett-Jackson auction for $550,000. We also believe the exact car sold in this Julien's auction was previously bought at a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2018 for $192,500. If that's the case, somebody just made an extremely easy profit.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

This 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 pace car could be yours

Fri, Jan 29 2021

Hopefully, the fans of GM's W-body '80s/'90s intermediates can forgive us, but we had pretty much forgotten — or had never really known — that one of the ways that era's Pontiac Grand Prix bathed itself in glory was by serving as the pace car for the Daytona 500. In fact, the Grand Prix paced NASCAR's marquee race every year from 1988 to 1992, and again in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2003. That first year, 1988, the Grand Prix was all-new, making its debut on the W-body platform. It was also Motor Trend's car of the year. The 1988 Daytona 500 marked the 17th year in a row that a Pontiac was chosen to set the pace but the first time a front-wheel-drive car was so honored. The '88 Grand Prix followed a spate of Pontiac Trans Ams. This '88 Grand Prix, for sale right now on eBay Motors, is presented as an actual pace car, although fans could order a complete set of pace car decals for their very own GP. The pace car is based on that year's top-spec Grand Prix, the SE. In place of the standard car's 2.8-liter V6, however, the pace car uses a modified 3.1-liter V6, which is hooked to a five-speed manual transmission. This Grand Prix is otherwise largely standard fare excepting the roof-mounted light bar, the switches for which are located next to the radio. The mechanical odometer tucked into the digital instrument cluster shows just over 5,000 miles, and presumably, not all of them were acquired on the high-banked oval. With four days to go in the auction, bidding sits at $4,000 with the reserve unmet. Although the reserve is unknown, one clue is that this Grand Prix had been listed by a classic-car dealership in Pennsylvania for $18,500. Besides the debut of the W-body Grand Prix pace car, the 1988 race is also notable for its final lap: Bobby Allison held off his son, Davey Allison, to take the checkered flag, with the father-son duo enjoying a 1-2 finish. Now, who wants to re-live those Grand Prix glory days? Get on your Pontiac and ride!   This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
