1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, Factory 4 Speed, 8 Lug Wheels on 2040-cars

Year:1962 Mileage:29303
Location:

United States

United States

 This is a documented 1962 Grand Prix which I purchased almost two decades ago. It has resided in a climate controlled garage since that time and is all original and factory stock. This car is documented with PHS Documents as well as the original buyer's order and 'Dealer Invoice'. These Pennsylvania documents confirms all the options as delineated in the PHS papers and also confirms the original Pennsylvania dealer as per the PHS window sticker. The miles are original and the speedometer has NOT rolled over. I am happy to provide, to the next owner, notarized documents to affirm this claim. In 1962 Pontiac offered the Grand Prix with three high powered engines; the option code 425 @ 318 horsepwoer and the 425A @ 348 horsepower. This is the higher horsepower engine. Built about April of 1962, the 4 speed was a late available option. The car is Bomar Red which Chevrolet called Hondouras Maroon and has an interior to match. This is the real deal and is not a 'built car' to replicate or be a 'tribute' to the real thing. The original rubber factroy floor mats still reside on the floor and appear as new.  At 71 years old, I am reducing my collection and am offering it at NO RESERVE for the seven day auction. I will provide, to the new owner, a valid Florida title documenting this mileage as 'actual'. The tri-power engine performs flawlessly and the vehicle displays all factory correct parts which are numbered correct to this vehicle.m All parts are factory Pontiac and the vehicle, from the tri-power air cleaner to the factory dual exhaust is extremely correct. Recent overhaul of the complete brake system, with the correct 'thumb screw' master cylinder has been accomplished.   Please view the photos, ask questions and evaluate this factory correct piece of history. Call me for specifics that have not been addressed. Thank you, Respectfully, Wellington Morton (904) 230-4448. (PS: I do not accept PayPal and require cash or certified funds before release of my car. It is expected that transfer will take place in one week following the end of this offering.)

Thank you for your phone inquiry. The carpets are all original and exhibit no wear; same for the door panels and headliner. I can see no wear to the interior arm rests and the steering wheel still has perfect 'clear' Lexon, void or any scars or cracks. And yes that is the factory installed tachometer on the center console.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi

Sat, Jun 19 2021

The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.
