what i know about 1966 pontiac`s you could write on a postage stamp. so if you are reading this then i am sure you know way more than me about this kind of antique car.this old girl belongs to a guy that works for me and he has no computer so i am listing it on his behalf. i heartily encourage you to come see and drive the old girl if at all possible, its a good solid old car. so, up for auction is this really cool 1966 bonneville hard top with a GREAT original interior. she has a great big 389 ci V8 in her which runs GREAT and and without any rattles, knocks or smoke. the old girl has a good exhaust and the tires have good tread. she has some great options and is fitted with A TILT STEERING column which has a REALLY GOOD ORIGINAL STEERING WHEEL, remote control drivers door mirror, power trunk release, factory power antenna, fender skirts and factory A/C, power steering and power brakes. the panel at the bottom of the back glass does have some small rust out but it will be a very easy fix, please see the close up picture`s. the floor pans are all very SOLID. the rocker panels are also solid as a rock, i should know because i jumped up and down on them!! there is some evidence of old old bodywork midway up the quarter panel`s, on right rear door and the left front fender. but it must have been done donkeys years ago. i got the best pictures i could but its hard to capture as the sunlight reflects off of the gold paint. i took the trunk mat out to show you that the trunk floor will need a little repair, i would say its about 80% solid. but from underneath and looking up i can see that the the inner quarter panels and the outer edges of the trunk pan look really good. the gas tank needs some heavy repair work or maybe just replace it. the frame rails are all very good, just a little surface rust thats it. the underside lip of trunk lid and the hood lip are in really nice condition. the A/C is all complete and original as far as i can tell and everything is still hooked up, i am sure its still on R12. the local pontiac guru liked the car a lot and he really knows these cars, he has grand prix`s, a GTO and a catalina convertible, all nice cars and a credit to him. the reserve is set low, to where my guy is only losing his shirt and not his first born child, LOL. right now the old girl will crank right up and drive around the yard or onto a trailer with the engine running off of a one gallon gas can under the hood. but she has not been on the road for a couple of years and the brakes are way low. the new owner will need to trailer the old girl away. i can provide a shipping quote if you give me the town you live in and the zip code. if you have any questions, want to make an offer or need more pictures please email. or you can call me on 864 616 6860 up until 10 pm east coast time. shipping over sea`s is no problem at all and charleston port is only 4 hours east of me. i have already shipped antique cars to england, germany, sweden and australia. the old girl came out of georgia which is a non title state for any vehicle this old. she will be sold on a bill of sale only. the original keys are with the car. i had to click one of the boxes under 'title' so i clicked clear as there was nothing there pertaining to non title states. i am sure i am missing things here as i am not that familiar with this kind of car so i encourage you to call or better yet stop by and see the car in person. any inspection is welcome and we can put her up on a lift so you can have a really good look underneath. to sum up, this is a really solid original car that will be a really fun cruiser for the summer without spending much money. what needs to be done can be accomplished by anyone with some hand tools and a little bit of mechanical knowledge. a few weekends work will have this baby purring down the highway. FULL PAYMENT IN THREE DAYS. the ONLY methods of payment are CASH IN PERSON or a BANK WIRE TRANSFER. no other type of payment will be accepted and if you cannot comply with these simple terms then simply do not bid. thanks and good luck y`all. |

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams
Fri, Aug 31 2018There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.

Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile
Thu, Mar 26 2015So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."
Question of the Day: Most degraded car name?
Fri, May 27 2016When Ford came up with a not-so-sporty version of the Pinto and slapped Mustang badges on it in 1974, that was a low point for the Mustang name. When Chrysler applied the venerable Town & Country name on perfectly functional but unglamorous minivans, it saddened many of us. But perhaps the biggest demotion for a once-proud model came when, in 1988, General Motors imported a misery-enhancing Daewoo from Korea and called it the Pontiac LeMans. The original Pontiac LeMans was a great-looking midsize car with fairly advanced (for the time) suspension design and engine options including potent V8s and a screaming overhead-cam straight-six. The Daewoo-based Pontiac LeMans was a cramped, shoddy hooptie that served only to ruin the LeMans name forever, while stealing sales from the Suzuki-based Chevrolet Sprint. Sure, using the once-respected Monterey name on the Mercurized Ford Freestar was bad, but Mercury didn't have long to live at that point. I say the downward spiral of the LeMans name was the most agonizing in automotive history. What do you think? Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
