Up for auction is a 1996 Pontiac Firebird with T-tops and a 6 cylinder engine. This car is beautiful inside and out and it runs great. The car starts right up (it has a brand new battery), the automatic transmission shifts smoothly, and the engine has lots of power. This car is in great mechanical condition-- I brought it to Tom's Auto in Barnhart last week to have it looked over before selling it, and Tom said the car is in great shape. The brakes and tires are in good condition and the paint job on the car looks really good. I've driven the car to Chicago multiple times so it's traveled long distances without any issues. This car turns a lot of heads when you drive it around town, especially if you take the T-tops off. The interior of the car is in great condition as well-- it feels like you're stepping into a new car. There are 142,001 miles on the car, and I do not drive the car during the winter (I put it in storage). In addition to the photos, I made several videos of the car. Here is a link to a video of: the car's engine starting http://youtu.be/tUtAnYV4k28 the car's exterior http://youtu.be/58xKc65pU_4 the car's interior http://youtu.be/WJODmI5WKvA driving the car http://youtu.be/vJKzBV3ZW2c the car's T-tops http://youtu.be/qgxhnvkJxLg the car's trunk http://youtu.be/yZMkQwMYC68 As you can see from the pictures and video, this car is clean inside and out and runs great. I purchased a new stereo about a year ago so the volume buttons on the steering wheel are no longer linked to the volume on the stereo (instead, you use the volume buttons on the stereo itself). The car has cruise control, power windows, power door locks, ABS brakes, and there is a spot in the trunk where you can slide the T-tops into place when you take them off. If you want a nice sports car that will turn heads and run great, this is it. The car is parked in my driveway in Barnhart, Missouri and you are welcome to come out for a test drive before the auction is over. Barnhart is located about 30 minutes south of downtown St. Louis, near a town called Arnold, Missouri. Just send me a message on eBay and we can arrange a time for you to come out and see the car. I am sad to see this car go, but my wife's student loans have come due and I no longer have the luxury of owning a cool sports car. I hope the person who wins the auction enjoys the car as much as I did! It is a lot of fun to take the T-tops off on a nice summer day and go for a cruise around town. Note: If you win the auction, I ask that you get in touch with me within 24 hours to arrange to pay for the car and pick it up. |

The prized golden 1965 Pontiac Hurst GeeTO Tiger is headed to auction
Sat, Apr 4 2020Once upon a time, a Pontiac advertising executive named Jim Wangers created a countrywide contest with this gorgeous 1965 Pontiac Hurst GTO serving as the grand prize. The contest was centered around "GeeTO Tiger," a song by musical artists The Tigers. A 19-year-old took home the golden muscle car at the time, but now anybody can buy the rare car through an upcoming Mecum auction. As a way to boost sales and awareness of the Pontiac GTO and its performance parts, Wangers partnered up with Royal Pontiac, George Hurst, and Petersen Publishing in 1965 to create a contest. Royal provided the car, Hurst dressed it up, and Petersen distributed the contest in publications across the country. In order to participate, people were asked to provide a reason why they wanted the car and identify how many times the word "tiger" was used in the promotional song "GeeTO Tiger" (pronounced G-Tee-Oh) by The Tigers. A 19 year-old kid named Alex Lampone from West Allis, Wisconsin, won the contest and took delivery of this jazzed-up GTO at the 1965 NHRA Indy Nationals. This content is hosted by a third party.

The Tigers - GeeTO Tiger The prize car was completely kitted out and described by Wangers as "the nicest GTO you could put your hands on." It had more than 28 factory options, including a black cordova top, power windows, power steering, power brakes, a tilt steering wheel, a power driver's seat, dual-speed windshield wipers, a custom sport steering wheel, a rally gauge cluster, a push-button AM/FM radio with power antenna, and a Verba phonic rear speaker. What makes it stand out is the Hurst-inspired gold theme, which includes gold paint, gold mag wheels, and a gold-plated Hurst Shifter. Under the hood, this GTO has a Tri-Power 389 V8 engine that pairs with a four-speed manual transmisison. It also has a 3.55 Safe-T-Track rear axle and dual exhaust. Throughout the years, this car has exchanged hands many times and has undergone a few changes. It's been repainted, and the engine has also been rebuilt, but Mecum says it's otherwise highly original. Ony 59,000 miles have turned over on the odometer. The GeeTO Tiger Pontiac is scheduled to go up for auction in Indianapolis this June. Visit Mecum for more information. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
