1963 Pontiac Grand Prix on 2040-cars
Lancaster, New York, United States
Offered for sale is my 1963 Pontiac Grand Prix. The car was purchased during the summer of 1998. The engine is a 389. It was slightly bored, and the heads were done over for leaded gas. It has the 3x2 cam, with 283 intake, 293 duration, and 411 lift. An Edelbrock 600 with vacuum secondary’s is mounted on the stock intake. Last year the water pump, timing chain, and harmonic balancer were replaced. Oil and filter were changed every spring and fall, whether I put on 250 miles or 10 miles. Last spring I replaced the distributor cap, rotor, plugs wires, and the ignition coil. The original slim-jim tranny was replaced with a Turbo 350 with a shift kit, and a hardened second gear sprag. I also install a 2500 stall converter. The speedometer was recalibrated for the new tranny. The rear end is the stock open differential. The exhaust is stock manifolds dumping into Flowmaster 40's turned out before the rear wheels finished with stainless steel exhaust tips. The 8 lug wheel/drums were refurbished units with new liners, painted the correct silver for the 1963 model year. All the brake shoes were replaced when the new drums were installed. The center caps for the wheels had dings removed and were reconditioned. The trim rings have some dents in them. The tires are Firestone Firehawks. All of these items have less than 10,000 miles on them. The interior still has the original dash, front and rear seats, door panels. The headliner, carpet, and the rear deck shelf have been replaced. Other new items that were installed are... new door locks and center console lock, new weather-stripping for doors and trunk lid, new windshield, new trunk liner. I also replaced some of the exterior emblems. I left the original AM/FM radio in the dash, but installed a Pioneer AM/FM/CD in the glove compartment. I have a new liner for the the glove compartment. The original radio doesn't work well. The black paint is single stage black urethane, which has been wet sanded and buffed out. Bumpers have NOT been rechromed... They have no dents, but have some places that have the chrome worn down to silver spots. Charging system has been upgraded to an internal regulated alternator. I have the original alternator... and I left the external voltage regulator in it's spot for visual appeal, but it has been disconnected. All lights work, including backup and license plate bulbs. Car is slightly modified, with a functional super duty hood scoop, and aftermarket tach. However it can easily be returned to stock. All that needs to be done is let some air out of the rear air shocks, unscrew the hose clamp and remove the tach, and replace the hood with the original (unpainted!) hood that is included with the car. Lastly... car comes with some extras...spare window motors, balancing plate for the 8-lug wheels, the original UNPAINTED hood, a spare glove compartment drawer, and a dust cover for storage. Also you get the Pontiac Historic Services package detailing the codes and build info on this very car, and a copy of the window sticker. Also I will give you all the receipts I have for all the parts I purchased for the car. Now the bad point… The car spent its entire life in western N.Y., there is rust under the car. The frame has some areas of rust-through on it. The frame had some repairs done to it before I purchased it. I have not done any work on the frame at all. The car runs and drives well, and hasn’t seen a winter since before 1996, but the trunk body mounts are rusted. Look at the pictures I posted, and understand what I am telling you. I haven’t had any problems with the frame, and the door and fender gaps are as perfect as when it was painted in 2006. Whether you want to repair or replace the frame, or just drive it as it is, you would be hard pressed to find a vehicle with all this work done for this price. This is a nice 7 year old restoration that still looks and runs great. My price is in the ballpark for parting out the car. I just can’t bring myself to tear the car apart… it still has a lot of good times left in it. I have more pictures, if you want to see them before you come out to look at the car. $1000.00 deposit will hold the car for 7 days, if no payment, I will notify Ebay, and then I move on to the next buyer. Thanks for taking the time to read this. Submit any questions through an email, and I will answer them as soon as possible. |

Florida man runs down bikers in traffic
Tue, May 31 2016A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
Burt Reynolds Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am sells for $450k
Mon, Dec 15 2014Apparently, there's still a lot of love out there for by Burt Reynolds and his famous role in Smokey and the Bandit – or at least for his car. As you might remember, Autoblog reported on the auction of the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am a few week ago. At the time, the movie star's car was already well past its $80,000 top estimate, and bidding only shot up from there for a final price of $450,000. That seems like a lot of money for a Trans Am that never actually appears in Smokey and the Bandit. According to the listing, the car was used to promote the film and was given to Reynolds afterward with his name on the title as proof of ownership. The Trans Am looks practically identical to the one in the movie with black paint, the gold firebird on the hood and Bandit name on the driver's door. This one packs a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor under the hood, an automatic transmission and a plaque inside the door that proclaims "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds." The wedding stagecoach based on an International Harvester Scout we mentioned in the earlier story also beat its top estimate of $20,000. It went for $34,375, according to the auction house's website, and in total the sale raised about $2.5 million. Scroll down to read the full announcement from Julien's Auctions.
