Up for auction is this 1969 Grand prix SJ That has been cared for by its 2nd owner for over 40 years!! Bought new from ERICKSON & JAMES INC. Pontiac in Yreka California on 11-11-69 by Robert Anderson MD where he put 14,526 miles on it and it was sold on 6-6-72 to Frank and Janis Ravenscroft also in Yreka Ca. Thats where it stayed and cared for until Frank passed away and Janis figured it was time to let it go after 40 years. she told me they used it daily back in the day and raised her family using it untill they were grown. The last ten years it was used only as a weekend showcar and used occasionally. The odometer is at 124,000 miles. The original numbers matching engine and trans was rebuilt around 110,000 and it has been painted only once about 10-12 years ago the same original liberty blue with matching interior. The GP is kinda rare as its a factory hardtop without a vinyl cover. It really makes these cars sleek and sporty without the top. The interior is all original and with the exception of a couple splits in the drivers seat the rest is like new. You would never know that kids played in this car as she installed clear seat covers when they bought it and they were still there when i puchased it earlier this year. I have since taken them off as they have done there job preserving the original covers for the most part. The blue cover is still Brilliant as you will see in the pics. I have all the paperwork from new AND 2 protectoplates that go with the car along with most of the yearly registrations and insurance cards and lots of reciepts from all around matinence that was done over the years. the engine is complete numbers down to the original carb. I did put 15 inch rally II wheels on it with G70-15 Bias ply redlines. But i can switch them to the original 14x7 wheels with whitewall radials if so desired. Thats about all i can say right now but questions are welcome so please call me @ 267-246-6903 if you want to discuss the car further or a buy it now price or if you would like to make an appointment to come see it in person and take it for a drive. This is a fairly optioned car PS,PDB,PWR Windows,tilt wheel,working Air Conditioning,AM Radio/Rear mounted 8 track player that works,Cornering lamps and all the features that come with the SJ package including Rally Gauge dash and Air suspension on the rear.

Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile
Thu, Mar 26 2015So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."
Motorweek looks back at the Pontiac Aztek
Thu, Jul 9 2015The Pontiac Aztek has earned a position as this generation's ultimate, automotive punchline. Even other execrable models like the Yugo or Mustang II probably get more respect these days just out of their sheer quirkiness, but the Aztek remains a joke. Fortify your mind for what's coming, though, because the much-maligned Pontiac might not be quite so atrocious, at least according to MotorWeek's latest Retro Review video. MotorWeek calls the Aztek, "GM's first true crossover vehicle," and it's amazing to think of the hated model as a progenitor of one of the most popular segments today. While admitting that the looks are polarizing, John Davis and company actually come away pleased with the Aztek's utility. They praise that there's a ton of room in the back, and the interior is packed with useful features like a removable cooler in the center console and radio controls in a cargo area. The show is even impressed with how the Pontiac drives and throws around accolades like "nimble" and "pleasant." After seeing the Aztek leading the pack on lists of the worst vehicles of all time for years, listening to it get such effusive praise is actually quite jarring. Could we all be so wrong? No, there's absolutely no debate that this is still a hideous automobile. However, MotorWeek asserts a complete reversal of the generally perceived wisdom about the early CUV. While unexpected, thinking about such an abhorred model in a different way is a cool experience. Check out the video for a different take on the Aztek.
Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials
Fri, Sep 11 2015Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
