1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J on 2040-cars
Tucson, Arizona, United States
|
1970 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J. I got this car as part of a package (I'm an Oldsmobile guy). Here is what I know: The car was in California before going to New Mexico in 1978 (according to the title). Been there till now. Has been off the road for many years (mid 80's). It's all original down to the paint. Still has all four original T3 headlights. Odometer reads 41K. Assume it went over once, since it looks too rough to be original.. I was told this was a one owner car, but the current owner had the car for (at least) the last 36 years. Original 400/4V, Turbo 400 transmission, 10 bolt posi (ratio unknown), dual exhaust, buckets/console, factory a/c, tinted glass, am radio, power steering, disc brakes. The car needs a total restoration, but is complete (nothing missing except a battery). I did get the car running, but it has a knock. You will need to trailer this car where ever you are taking it. It had a vinyl top which is long gone. It caused a small amount of rust underneath (common issue). This further caused a small rust spot behind the right rear wheel well (also common). Unfortunately it also went into the trunk, and rusted part of the trunk pan (see pics). Other than that, the car is a completely dry southwest desert car. Interior has typical sun damage. Dash survived well (only has a few cracks). Door panels also have a few cracks. Seats/headliner and carpet are completely shot. Windshield is cracked. Passenger marker light is cracked. Has minor bumps, but no major dents. Never painted, so you can see everything in the pics. The drivetrain is rebuild-able, or could be perfect for that GTO, or Trans AM restoration. The parts alone are worth the reserve, or this car could be nicely restored. $500 PayPal deposit is required within 24 hours. Full payment will be required within 7 days (or the car will no longer be available to you). Shipping is buyer responsibility (I will assist with loading). Please ask all questions before bidding ends, emails are quickly returned. I can store the vehicle safely in my garage for up to 30 days after the auction, but no longer (unless the car is exported). Please communicate your storage needs in advance, and I will work with you. New Mexico title is from 1978. It is open, free and clear. Bidders with negative feedback will simply have their bids cancelled/deleted. Please do not bid unless you are serious. Thanks for looking. Paul. |

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac LeMans Sedan
Tue, Feb 7 2017During the 1960s, the Pontiac LeMans was a sporty, rear-wheel-drive midsize car, the GTO's cheaper sibling. Through the 1970s and into the middle 1980s, the LeMans became a bit less youthful-looking but remained a traditional rear-wheel-drive Detroit machine with a V8 engine option. Then, starting in the 1988 model year, the LeMans name went onto a South Korean-built version of the misery-inducing, front-wheel-drive Opel Kadett E. These were dark days for the Pontiac marque; here's the proof, photographed at a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard last month. This one didn't quite make it to the 100,000-mile mark. These cars were very, very cheap and sold reasonably well, but nearly all of the 1988-1993 LeManses are hatchbacks. I have seen a total of two Daewoo LeMans sedans during the last decade, and this is one of them. Under the hood, 74 raging Opel/Daewoo horsepower. This content is hosted by a third party.

In the United States, the ads for the LeMans were all about the hatchback, and all about cheap excitement.

Camaro-based Trans Am SE Bandit Edition borrows Burt Reynolds
Tue, Mar 29 2016For some reason, modifying modern Chevrolet Camaros into the lurching, reincarnated shells of the Pontiac brand is still a thing. If you're the perverse sort that likes this kind of thing, you should check out the latest product from the Trans Am Depot, which comes complete with an endorsement from the star of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt Reynolds. Yes, the new Trans Am SE Bandit Edition has been signed and endorsed by the man himself, but what's important here is not the signature on the dash, it's the bits of Camaro that have been modified. Aesthetically, that means a Bandit-and-Frog-approved set of T-tops, a front-opening hood with a very large, prominent shaker scoop, an equally large and prominent screaming chicken, and Trans Am-inspired front and rear fascias. And naturally, Burt Reynolds' signature adorns the dash. There are plenty of reminders in the cabin about this car's Hollywood inspiration, too. Bandit decals can be found on the front headrests and center console lid, there are chicken wings on the Camaro-spec plastic door inserts, and the black-and-tan color scheme matches nicely with the exterior look. And power? Well, Sheriff Buford T. Justice would have a lot more trouble keeping up with this Trans Am than he did with the original. The 7.4-liter LSX V8 has been paired with a 2.9-liter supercharger which is good for 840 horsepower. It's fast and loud, and even if you can't get behind the look (we can't), at least this Camaro-in-Trans Am's clothing can impress with its performance. The Bandit Edition is limited to just 77 units with prices starting around $115,000. You can check out the official video from Trans Am Depot, which comes with a decent helping of Burt Reynolds, up top. Related Video:
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
