Junkyard Gem: 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT

Fri, Jun 26 2020

The New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, built Toyota-derived machinery — badged as Toyotas, Chevrolets, Geos, and Pontiacs— from 1984 through 2010, and some of the very last vehicles that left the assembly line were Pontiac Vibes. The Vibe, sibling to the Toyota Matrix, mostly served as a ho-hum transportation appliance and/or fleet car, but a factory-hot-rod GT version could be purchased. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those rare GTs, complete with the nearly unheard-of six-speed manual transmission, found in a self-service yard in northeastern Colorado. The regular Vibe had 123 or 130 horsepower, depending on the number of driven wheels, but the Vibe GT got the same 1.8-liter 2ZZ engine that went into the Celica GT-S. 180 horsepower, which was enough to make the 2,800-pound Vibe GT keep up with the 3,108-pound/215-horse Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo that year. Sadly, no race series pitting Vibe GTs against PT Cruiser Turbos and Chevy HHR SSs on road courses ever materializedÂ… but it's not too late. The Vibe GT has something you couldn't get in a PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR, though: a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. In fact, the six-speed was the only transmission offered in the early Vibe GTs (an automatic became an option later on). You'll find plenty of three-pedal econoboxes from this era, because they were significantly cheaper than their slushbox-equipped counterparts, but the Vibe GT had plenty of competition from sportier-looking cars with manual transmissions in 2004. Not many were sold. This car is covered with nasty dents from golf-ball-sized hail (all too common in High Plains Colorado), so it may have been an insurance total that nobody wanted at auction. Sold in Wyoming, will be crushed in an adjacent state. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Fuel for the soul.

Toyota had right-hand-drive Matrixes brought over to Japan from Canada, but a NUMMI-built version of the Vibe could be purchased there for a few years as well. This was the Voltz, and its advertising seems notably frantic even by the standards of Japanese car commercials.

Porsche Syberia RS rally car is what you make when you need a Hummer that's fast

Fri, Apr 24 2020

Some history: The Porsche 911's first-ever race was the 1965 Monte Carlo rally, entered because Porsche's PR man at the time wanted to show how much the future icon could do. A year later, Porsche began selling an optional rally kit for the 911 that included Recaro seats, a roll bar, and adjustable Koni dampers. Porsche produced factory rally racers until the early 1970s, winning Monte Carlo three times in a row before letting privateers carry the torch so the factory could focus on campaigning in the East Africa Safari. After years of painful lessons, when Porsche took its brand-new 1978 911 SC to the safari, the 3.0-liter flat-six coupe was hours away from winning the race before damaging the suspension, demoting the car to second place. Porsche fans wanted their own replicas, and finding the new 911 to be an affordable option, the SC — built from 1978 to 1983 — went from denoting "Super Carrera" to "Safari Car."   Porsche took a big step up in with the 953 rally car. Built to win the 1984 Paris-Dakar, which it did, the 953 introduced the four-wheel-drive system Porsche would evolve for the 959 in 1985 and the 964-series 911 in 1989, as well as the now-unforgettable 911-based Rothmans livery. All of this is what's fueling today's 911 Safari Car revival around the world. Almost all of today's builds start with the so-called G Model 911s, produced from 1973 to 1989, usually focusing on the SC and the Carrera that ran from 1984 until 1989.  Fast forward to 2007 when a mysterious crew organized the TransSyberia Rally, a "sports-touring" event that stretched 4,500 miles from Moscow to the capital of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar. Of the 34 vehicles that entered, 25 were Porsche's purpose-built Cayenne S Transsyberia Edition.  Put this all in a pot and you have the beginnings of the car that brings us here, the Syberia RS. It's said that a German fellow by the name of Kai Burkhard wanted to buy a Humvee, but the low top speed, around 50 miles per hour, put him off. So instead, he imported a 1986 911 "in collector condition" from Japan with the idea of rebuilding it to provide almost all the off-road fun he could have had in the H1. Burkhard tapped the Tailor Made department at German suspension designer H&R, and the two set to work creating a build like the 953 Dakar winner.  This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac Vibe

Wed, Apr 17 2024

Just over a month before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2009, General Motors announced that the 83-year-old Pontiac Division would be "phased out" by the end of 2010. Only three Pontiac vehicles were sold as 2010 models in the United States: the Solstice, Vibe and G6 (new G3s were sold here during 2010 but they were all 2009 models, while the G5 was available as a 2010 model only in Canada and Mexico). Today's bit of junkyard automotive history is one of the very last Vibes ever built, found in a yard near Denver, Colorado. This car is significant not just as one of the final vehicles to bear Pontiac badges but also as one of the last cars built by the New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated GM-Toyota joint venture in California, better known as NUMMI. The NUMMI factory began life as GM's Fremont Assembly, which built its first vehicle (a C-Series pickup) in 1963 and closed in 1982 after building its final vehicle (an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera). Rebooted as NUMMI, the first 1985 Chevrolet Nova (an Americanized AE82 Toyota Corolla Sprinter) rolled off the line in December of 1984. A quarter-century and better than eight million vehicles hence, NUMMI shut down production after its last Corolla was finished on April 1, 2010. While there was some noise about the Oakland Athletics building a new stadium on the site at the time, Tesla ended up buying most of the site soon after that. Tesla now builds more vehicles per year there than NUMMI ever did. The Vibe was co-developed with Toyota and based on the same platform as the ninth-generation Corolla. The Toyota Matrix was mechanically identical and was built in Canada, while the Japanese-market version (known as the Toyota Voltz) was built on the same NUMMI line as the Vibe and shipped across the Pacific. The Vibe/Matrix/Voltz got a redesign for the 2009 model year, but few noticed due to all the turmoil in the GM world at the time. The final Vibe was built in August 2009. This car was built in July of 2009, just before the end. It was living in West Texas just prior to coming to Colorado. El Paso is about a ten-hour drive from this car's current location. Once in the Centennial State, it got parked somewhere it shouldn't have been and ended up being auctioned to Pick Your Part. An occupant of this Vibe had time to sample some of the local agricultural products before that happened.

DESCRIPTION
There are a few times in a classic car collector environment where you find out how extremely rare a production car really is. Usually, the opportunity presents itself by the time the car is worth far more than the mortal man can possibly dream about owning. We’d like to end this pattern by presenting one of Pontiac most rare production sports cars ever produced. As Pontiac neared the end of its illustrious legacy, the Firebird continued to be the namesake of it sports car line up. The fourth generation was introduced in 1993 and ended alongside the Camaro in 2002. Unfortunately, the doors closed for Pontiac in 2010 making any car produced over their 84 years of operation the last we will ever see!

This 1997 Pontiac Firebird Formula WS6 Convertible represents one of only 43 examples ever produced for the public. Of this total, 41 were manufactured for the 1997 model year, and only 2 left showrooms in 1998. This marks one of those rare opportunities to tuck away a vehicle that is virtually irreplaceable! Break down the options further and one will find that this factory Black example with matching Black convertible top and Dark Pewter Cloth interior may be the only one of its kind!

Equipped with the ever powerful LT1 5.7L SFI V8 engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission and limited slip rear axle ratio! Standard equipment includes 4-wheel power disc brakes with anti-lock system, power rack & pinion steering, air conditioning, power windows & locks, power convertible top, cruise control, tilt steering column, 16” alloy wheels, theft alarm system, full dash instrumentation with dash tachometer, rear deck spoiler, and more! Options making this one of the rarest Pontiac Firebirds ever produced in history are the Ram Air Performance Packard that attached ram air induction, functional hood scoops, upgraded chrome wheels with high performance tires, and dual oval exhaust tips! Additional add-ons include remote keyless entry, upgraded performance 3.23 axle ratio, and enhanced audio with CD player and equalizer!

This Formula WS6 Convertible was ordered by Beaman Pontiac-GMC located in Nashville, TN, but was quickly secured by a buyer through Franklin Pontiac in Franklin, TN on October 25, 1996 with a serious premium no doubt! It has traded hands about 5 times in its lifetime, and will forever be one of the rarest of vehicles ever produced in Pontiac history!! Please take a close look at the current condition and the mileage showing on the odometer will baffle you! It is in remarkable condition and shows as a car with just a fraction of these miles! Again, compared to rarest of muscle cars produced through the 1960’s and 1970’s, not many cars from the twentieth century will ever have the possible investment return as this one! Need further proof of rare high output GM convertibles; look into Corvette L88 Roadster, GTO Judge convertible, Buick GS455 Stage I convertible, Chevelle LS6 convertible, and just a few others that match the unbelievable low production rarity of this 1997 Pontiac Formula WS6 Convertible! Again, Pontiac Historical Services indicated this car as just one of only 41 produced in 1997! Only 2 others were manufactured in 1998 making their short 2-year, 43-unit production run, one of the shortest in modern times! Please call with additional questions or to schedule a chance to see this exceptional car in person. An opportunity like this only comes along once in a lifetime!
