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. |

This 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 pace car could be yours
Fri, Jan 29 2021Hopefully, the fans of GM's W-body '80s/'90s intermediates can forgive us, but we had pretty much forgotten — or had never really known — that one of the ways that era's Pontiac Grand Prix bathed itself in glory was by serving as the pace car for the Daytona 500. In fact, the Grand Prix paced NASCAR's marquee race every year from 1988 to 1992, and again in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2003. That first year, 1988, the Grand Prix was all-new, making its debut on the W-body platform. It was also Motor Trend's car of the year. The 1988 Daytona 500 marked the 17th year in a row that a Pontiac was chosen to set the pace but the first time a front-wheel-drive car was so honored. The '88 Grand Prix followed a spate of Pontiac Trans Ams. This '88 Grand Prix, for sale right now on eBay Motors, is presented as an actual pace car, although fans could order a complete set of pace car decals for their very own GP. The pace car is based on that year's top-spec Grand Prix, the SE. In place of the standard car's 2.8-liter V6, however, the pace car uses a modified 3.1-liter V6, which is hooked to a five-speed manual transmission. This Grand Prix is otherwise largely standard fare excepting the roof-mounted light bar, the switches for which are located next to the radio. The mechanical odometer tucked into the digital instrument cluster shows just over 5,000 miles, and presumably, not all of them were acquired on the high-banked oval. With four days to go in the auction, bidding sits at $4,000 with the reserve unmet. Although the reserve is unknown, one clue is that this Grand Prix had been listed by a classic-car dealership in Pennsylvania for $18,500. Besides the debut of the W-body Grand Prix pace car, the 1988 race is also notable for its final lap: Bobby Allison held off his son, Davey Allison, to take the checkered flag, with the father-son duo enjoying a 1-2 finish. Now, who wants to re-live those Grand Prix glory days? Get on your Pontiac and ride!  This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
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:
