Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Most of the defects on this car are cosmetic in nature. The car could use a fresh paint job as the paint is starting to pit and chip in spots and there are a few minor rust spots; by the rear window and on the passenger door. Brakes could be gone through, as they are not the best (are they ever on classic cars?). Feels like the drivers side brake grabs before the passenger side, rear brakes are weak. Exhaust was installed in the early 90's and is in good shape but there is an exhaust leak by the passenger side exhaust manifold where it bolts to the motor. Drivers and passenger bucket seats have tears and could be refinished. Very front part of dash needs fresh paint. Cracks in the vinyl on the drivers door panel and on the center console compartment lid. Bumpers are solid but could use re-chroming. Rest of the chrome is in good shape."

1969 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX MODEL J.

I am selling this 69 Grand Prix for my parents. This car has a lot of potential as it is solid and straight. We (my siblings, their kids, and myself) rebuilt the car 22 years ago for my parents 35th anniversary and as they are getting up there in age they are ready to part with it. We gave the car a fresh coat of paint, went through the motor, and cleaned up the interior prior to giving it to them. The car has the 400 Pontiac Motor and is the original motor, transmission, and rear end. Plenty of power to get you scooting down the road in a hurry. Hit the gas and hang on.

HISTORY

The car sat at a neighbor's house for a number of years and after a lot of nagging, we were able to pick it up. To my knowledge, they were the original owners. We then rebuilt the car and gave it to my parents for their 35th anniversary. When we gave it to them the car had roughly 100,000 miles on it so they only drove it about 16,000 miles. Several of the trips they took were up to the St. Ignace car show in June (about a 500 - 600  mile round trip) and the car received a lot of good looks and even more good compliments (NICE RIDE!!!). The rest of the time it sat in the garage at their house, driving it occasionally just for a leisurely cruise. It pains us to see this car go as I-t has quite a bit of sentimental value but feel that this is the right thing to do. If it sells, it sells. If not, I guess it stays in the family (most of us are hoping for the later). However, it is my parents car and their decision so I respect that from them also.

DETAILS
 
The car is in good condition and is solid throughout but needs some refreshing to make it pristine. The car drives nice down the road. Engine is solid and was gone through when we rebuilt the car. We did some honing of the pistons and put a little bigger cam in it. Also put new seals and gaskets but did not change the rings. Compression and visual checks showed that they were in good condition. Unfortunately we did not put new gaskets on the exhaust manifolds and there is now a leak on the passenger side. Other than that, the exhaust is in great condition, with dual exhaust running all the way back. With the over-sized cam, it sounds great when  idling as well as when it is going down the road. The breaks could use some work as it pulls to the drivers side when you first hit the breaks, telling me something is going on with the front passenger break. The car does have power breaks and a new master cylinder was put on a few years back. Floor boards, rocker panels, trunk are all solid. Paint is fading in several areas, especially on the hood and roof. I think when we painted it we did not use the best paint as it did not hold up over the years (paint has come a long I think ways in 22 years). Also several chips and a few small rust spots, which are attached in the pictures.

CONTACT US
 
Take a look at the pictures as I think they will show you a lot about the car. I have tried to include all of the defects with the car in the description along with installing pictures of highlights and the defects. I feel that if I show all the defects, it will give better trust that I am not trying to pull a fast one on you. I have sold one other car on here and the feedback that he gives will tell you that I give the details as to the actual condition of the car I sell with no surprises. Overall, the car is in good condition and is a solid car front to back. If there are any pictures that you would like, email me and I will get the pictures as quick as I can (I do work a 40+ hour week so it could be later in the day when I get back with you). The car is also available for viewing if you can make it to the Holland area. Could possibly take a short video of the motor running and email it if that works, too.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue

Sun, Feb 15 2015

A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
