HISTORY

I recently purchased this car from a couple that are now in their very late 70s along with their 64 sunflower yellow GTO and their 74 Cameo White Grand Prix SJ both under 12,000 miles . They never traded in a car. Over the last several years it became harder for the elderly couple to keep up with all these cars but they did the best they could as they sat in the 4 bay garage the owner built for his beloved Pontiacs.These cars were NEVER offered or advertised for sale. A true American Picker type story.

THE CAR ITSELF

You are looking at an all Original including paint very desireable RUST FREE 77SJ triple black t top with yes 12,325 ORIGINAL MILES, NOT 112325.This SJ as ordered by the original owner and has the rare t tops along with seldom seen tachometer and sport steering wheel .The owner ordered with no power windows and no power door locks as he did not like them in case they malfunctioned. The paint is still very good and has a brilliant shine and there is no sun fade on hood or trunk. There are though   some areas where the paint has started checking(cracking NOT RUST) as was common with these 77 GM laquer paint jobs. This SJ was NEVER SPOT PAINTED OR TOUCHED UP and NO BODY WORK WAS EVER DONE.  THESE CARS ARE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE.There is also about a 3 inch scratch on the right front fender and some dings on that wheel well molding from  the previous owner scraping the garage pulling out. The chrome and other stainless trim are in very good condition.The headlight bezels which still house the original headlights are like new. The bumper fillers are not cracked and still look new.The padded landau top is excellent with a nice lustre and no cracks or bubbles.ALL the glass is original with no chips in the windshield and no scratches on the side glass.The T Tops are not scratched. As you can see the interior is like new with no rips or tears or wear on piping on drivers seat. the carpet is not faded. The dash has no cracks and the dash bezel and console look like a car with 12,325 miles. The engine compartment  is very clean and has the ORIGINAL hood insulation, and trunk is very clean and neat and still has its original spare tire. The undercarraige has minor surface rust only. If you are really knowledgeable on these 77s and know what you are looking at and where to look you have no doubt the miles ARE 12,325  For example if it were 112325 the words unleaded fuel only by the gas tank would be worn off, the original headlights, the unmarked dash with no knicks, and the spotless original bright wheel trim rings with not a mark or a ding are only a few tell tale signs This car was zbarted when new on the undercarriage and under hood where applicable, there is the yellow decal still intact on back window lower right and the certificate is included in paperwork.The SJ comes with the original title, factory invoice, and all original owners manuals and sales literature from 1977. A picture with the original owners standing by the SJ 2 days after they purchased it in 1977 is included.

THE MECHANICALS

Everything except the clock is in excellent working order, heat, the AC which has been converted to the new system and blows cold. The radio 8 track play crystal clear.The windshield wipers are still the original stainless with new rubber. The waterpump, thermostat, and alternator are less than 6 months old.The AC delco battery, the entire exhaust system, and the BF Goodrich TAs are less than 2 years old. I had the car tuned up, oil and oil filter, fuel filter, and air filter changed 3 weeks ago.The SJ has NO fluid leaks. All AC Delco parts were used. This SJ sounds and runs and rides like new.

Ask yourself this ,when will another 77SJ Triple Black T Top with so few miles come along again???

****ALL INSPECTIONS TO BE DONE PRIOR TO AUCTION END

'We're not a hedge fund': Porsche plans to curtail speculators and flippers

Tue, May 30 2017

A sizable number of speculators view cars as an investment. Rare or unusual models are quickly snapped up and either parked for years or flipped for a profit. Cars from automakers like Porsche and Ferrari are more prone than others, and at least some people behind these models are getting a bit tired of it. While it's difficult to police what goes on after you sell a car, Porsche has some plans that might curtail the problem before it starts. Andreas Preuninger, the head of GT road-car development and the man behind the new 911 GT3, spoke to Car and Driver at a recent event. "I personally like to see my cars being used," he said. "That's what we build them for. They are just too good to be left to stand and collect dust." One recent example of this rampant speculation is the 911 R. While the special manual-only model sold for $185,950 when new, used versions were selling for nearly $1.3 million just months after it went on sale. While the car is a masterpiece and an instant classic, a good number will be parked and simply used as art and not the rolling testaments to the man/machine interface they were intended to be. The concern over valuations has become so fierce that some owners are upset that Porsche is offering the new 911 GT3 with a manual transmission, fearing that it may hurt the value of the 911 R. "When I said we're not a hedge fund, I'm talking to those people who are yelling at us for offering the manual transmission similar to the R," Preuninger said. "But if there are people wanting to buy cars like that, then as a company we should try to fulfill that, to meet that demand." It seems Porsche is keeping a close eye on who is flipping cars. Since there is often far more demand than supply with certain models, the German automaker has a name for every car before it's built. Buyers with bad reputations might not even make the wait list.

This 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 pace car could be yours

Fri, Jan 29 2021

Hopefully, 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.

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson

Tue, Sep 25 2018

Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.
