1967 Pontiac Grand Prix on 2040-cars

Year:1967 Mileage:4500
Location:

Cleveland, Mississippi, United States

Cleveland, Mississippi, United States

 Here is a very straight southern car with original paint and absolutely no rust...NONE!  I am third owner.  It drives and handles like a new car and can be trusted to go anywhere.  It's been kept inside since new and looks to have been pampered.  It has the original paint that isn't perfect by any means but hey, it is original.  All of the emblems look good with no pitting or oxidation.  Front and rear bumpers are straight but the rear bumper could use a plating job.  All of the wheel covers are original to the car and look nice.  Also, the fender skirts are straight and solid.  The seats are original with no tears and the stitching is tight.  Springs in the seats are firm also with no sag.  I replaced door panels only because the driver side had a very small tear.  The carpet had very minimal fading but I replaced it, also.  The dash is so soft that you can squeeze it without it cracking.....seats are just as soft.  The wood grain on the dash is perfect!  The windows (tinted) go up and down like a new car.  I sent the tilt column off and had it redone with new wiring, bearings, etc.  Also, I sent the AM/FM radio off and had it cleaned and tuned......it works GREAT!  The front and rear speakers are new with the factory option front and rear speaker control on front dash.  Door, window, and truck seals are new.  I removed all hard and flexible air duct from under the dash and cleaned it.  The flexible duct under the dash was not hard and dry rotted like most cars, reaffirming what I was told about it being a garage kept car.  The original carpet, dash and seats imply the same.

As far as mechanical, the car is near perfect.  The original motor was gone through from top to bottom 4500 miles ago.  I put a new carburator on the car so I could send the original off to be rebuilt.......both will go with the car.  The transmission shifts perfect with the kick down working properly.  It has new A/C that blows cold and the climate control works properly.  Also, it has a new radiator, new heater core, new starter, new belts and hoses, new wheel cylinders, new brakes, new shocks and springs, new front end, and new Cooper tires (including spare).  The hidden headlights work perfectly and open and close evenly with no sagging.  All the gauges work except the fuel gauge seems to not be working properly.....probably the float assembly in the tank.

I have spared no expense to get this car mechanically sound in every way.  With attention to paint, rear bumper, and fuel gauge, this car will be very near perfect.  Another car that I've had my eye on for a long time is available and that's the reason for my selling.  My reserve is well below what has been spent on the car.  Please call me with any and all questions.  If I don't answer, leave a message.  662-719-3307  Thanks for looking!

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.

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.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
