--------------'71 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX ------------- 3 OWNER CALIFORNIA CAR---------------
- History - This is a 3 owner 42 year old car that has spent its entire life in the great state of California. The car was special ordered by the original owner from Arata Pontiac in Burlingame CA as verified by the build sheet and PHS documentation. The car spent its entire life on the San Francisco Peninsula until a friend of mine bought it from the original owner in Daly City CA. with 48,000 actual miles in 2004. At that time the car still had its original paint, belts, hoses, plug wires, spring ring battery cable ends etc..... needless to say all of that has since been replaced to make this classic a reliable daily driver......... It even has the original keys.... It still has both of its original blue and yellow California plates as well....I do have the front license plate and bracket....I think the front end looks better without it... The car now has 56,000 original miles and runs and drives great.... I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere.
- Mechanical - The car is powered by the original "born with" numbers matching 300 horse 400 V8... which is the same 400 used in the GTO's that year. The engine runs and sounds excellent. The original points distributor was replaced with a more efficient HEI unit. OEM Pontiac chrome valve covers and air cleaner lid have been added. The engine compartment has been nicely detailed. The original turbo 400 shifts as it should. The car drives and stops straight... Even on the hottest California days the car runs nice and cool and does not overheat....even in bumper to bumper traffic. Within the last 8,000 miles several parts have been replaced to make this car a reliable daily driver...some of those items are... Radiator(an aftermarket aluminum unit was used), Water pump, Belts, Hoses, Flowmaster mufflers, Battery, Valve cover gaskets The car also has newer deep tread P235/60R15 BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires and new Wheel Vintique Rally II wheels with new center caps, trim rings and lug nuts. The tires could use a rebalancing and there is a slight exhaust leak.....probably and exhaust donut.... just haven't had the time to deal it. Other than that....the car runs and drives excellent!
- Body - This is a straight solid California car that has never been driven on a salted road.....infact....I don't think it has ever been out of the state of California. The undercarriage is that to be expected of a low mile California car. The undercarriage is rock solid and does not have any cancerous rust.....just the usual road grime and minor surface rust. The car was repainted the original color in 2007. It is a basecoat/clearcoat paint job that shows nicely but does exhibit some flaws.... I would consider the paint job to be a 5 footer... This is a 1 repaint car that does not appear to have ever been in a major accident. all of the body panels line up very nicely....just like it left the factory. The bumpers and trim are all original and present nicely. The vinyl top was replaced in 2007 as well. The correct grain was used when the top was replaced. The car is a great driver...turns heads and receives compliments everywhere it goes. The car is still sporting its original Power Beam headlights. A new windshield was recently installed.
- Interior - The interior is in mint condition. The dash is perfect....NO CRACKS! The passenger door panel is free from any cracks as well... The drivers door panel does show a minor crack in the armrest area that is hardly noticeable. The seats are free from any rips or trears. The headliner is in excellent condition as well. The carpet does show some fading though but is in excellent condition. The car is well equipped with power steering, power brakes, power windows(all working), air conditioning(needs servicing but all there and hooked up), AM radio(inop), clock(inop aren't they all), remote mirror.....etc....
I do have a clean and clear California title in my name and is registered until July 2014. If you would like to talk in person please feel free to call me at (925)550-8289...my name is Joe.... This is a bid to win auction.... The reserve is very fair and reasonable. If you want to know the reserve....please bid what you are willing to pay and you just might own it....... I am not looking to play games... I will not end the auction early....so please BID TO WIN!.. Thank you....and good luck :)
All shipping arrangements and costs is the buyers responsibility. Vehicle is sold as-is no warranty so please keep in mind that this is a 42 year old automobile. Vehicle and title will not be released until paid in full funds have cleared my bank. If you do not have the funds to purchase the car....then please do not bid.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky
Sat, Jun 26 2021The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic. The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice. For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:
GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns
Thu, 15 May 2014The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek
Tue, Jul 11 2017Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.
