I am relisting this due to a non-paying buyer. Please don't bid it you don't have the money. Also I have lowered the price to rock bottom for a quick sale. There is more money in the restoration of this car than I am asking for the entire vehicle so it's a great buy at this price.

This is a beautiful car that is super fast and fun. It has a real stock look right down to the factory rally wheels but look out there is a monster under the hood! We used to call a car like this a "Sleeper". It's great fun to watch someone's face when you start it up. The car had a complete rotisserie restoration approximately 10 years ago but has only been driven 6,000 miles since then. Here's what has been done: Complete engine build of a Pontiac 455 switched to 7K3 heads, SRP pistons, Eagle rods, SS Valves and guides, Comp Cams camshaft,Edelbrock Torker II intake, Edelbrock 750 cfm Performer carburetor, MSD ignition, Desert Cooler radiator. The transmission is a TCI Streetfighter TH400 with a 2300 rpm stall converter and stainless steel lines. During the restoration the frame was blasted and epoxy primed and sheet metal work included new GM front fenders. Also has all new suspension including ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks and a quick ratio steering box. The car has been upgraded to power front disc brakes. The interior was all redone including door panels, headliner, seat covers and dash pad. Front and rear windshields were replaced.  I think the color of this car is beautiful especially in the sunlight and it really makes the car look more modern and upscale. 
It has a high lift cam so it has a pretty serious lope at idle and it really flies when you stab the throttle. It never runs hot and has very high oil pressure. 
I try to do the best disclosure possible so here are the defects that I'm aware of: The paint is beautiful but it is not a $10,000 show car paint job and there are a few small scratches and one door ding. I believe the scratches could be buffed out. The original radio is in the dash but does not work and the antenna mast is broken off. Wipers work but the switch is hinky. There are some scratches in the rear window trim. That's about all I can think of. Really the car is very nice overall. This is not a junker. Also I cannot see any rust.
One more disclaimer:  This is not the car you buy for your daughter to go to college in (it's fast and loud) but If you want to go out on the weekend and have some fun then this is the car for you.
Now for the usual car sale stuff: PLEASE don't bid if you cannot buy! It cost $$ and wastes everyones time. The car is being sold as-is with no warranty and no returns or refunds allowed. I highly recommend that you come and inspect (or hire an inspection) of any car before buying. I am posting a lot of photos but please fee free to ask any questions. And no I will not ship the car to India or release it on a cashiers check that has not cleared yet or any other silly scam. I will however try to help work with your shipper to get them the car if needed. Also trades rarely work out but if you feel you must ask I will consider them. If you buy the car I will require a good faith deposit of $1000 via PayPal within 48 hours unless other arrangements are made. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early in case of a local sale. Thanks for looking.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas

Wed, Oct 3 2018

The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP

Sun, Nov 28 2021

John DeLorean began his career working on Packard's Ultramatic Twin transmission, but he made his greatest mark on the automotive industry during his 1956-1969 tenure at GM's Pontiac Division. There, he helped develop the first production car engine with a quiet timing belt instead of a noisy chain, among other engineering feats, but his real fame came from the development of two money-printing models based more on marketing than machinery: the GTO and the Grand Prix. While the GTO gets all the attention now, the Grand Prix set the standard for the big-selling personal luxury coupes that sold like mad for decades to come. Today's Junkyard Gem is an example of the most powerful Grand Prix available at the turn of the century, found in a Denver-area self-service yard during the summer. The Grand Prix got front-wheel-drive for 1988 and a sedan version for 1990, but then something very beneficial happened in the 1997 model year: supercharging! Various flavors of the venerable 3.8-liter Buick V6 engine (itself based on the early-1960s Buick 215 V8 and thus cousin to the Rover V8) received Eaton blowers, starting in the 1992 model year. The Grand Prix didn't get its introduction to forced induction until the 1997 model year, but it kept the boosted option until the final Grand Prix rolled off the line in 2008 (the final Pontiac followed within a couple of years). This one made 240 horsepower, making it King of Grand Prix engines until the 2005 model year (when the GXP and its 303-horse V8 engine showed up). The very last year for a Grand Prix with a manual transmission was 1993 (there had been a three-pedal Grand Prix drought from 1973 through 1988, just to put things in perspective), so this car has the mandatory four-speed automatic. The Grand Prix lived on GM's W platform for its last two decades, making it sibling to the Impala, Regal, and Intrigue in 2001. Until the 2004 model year, every W-Body Grand Prix was built at Fairfax Assembly in Kansas City (no, theĀ other Kansas City). Production of the final generation of Grand Prix took place in Ontario. It seems fitting that this car's final pre-crusher parking spot would be between two other GM products of the same era: a Monte Carlo and a Vibe.
