We added the wood steering wheel and chrome exhaust tips. The original steering wheel comes with car.

Previous Owners included many receipts and personal affects including P.O.C.I. Membership. Owners Manual. Service Manual. Hot Rod Magazine - Pontiac Advertisement. Parking Sign.

From the Documents and Further online research I was able to compile the history back to 1979. When it was purchased by a noted Pontiac enthusiast in Virgina, who sadly died earlier this year. His obituary, viewable online, mentions little about his occupation, but dedicates a full paragraph to his love for, and restoration of, Pontiacs. He left receipts and his POCI club membership. He is survived by a son, who is also searchable online, and his current Pontiacs are featured along with dedications to his father's passions. In 1993 he sold it to Mike Injaian, of North Wales PA. Mike included numerous receipts, personal affects and was reachable by email. He conveyed his love for the vehicle which he drove twice from his home to the Woodward Dream Cruises of 02' and 03'. Mike is also featured online, for his outrageous GTO projects. This unbroken chain of enthusiast ownership continues to 2005, when John O'Quinn, the legendary Texas litigator and car collector, took possession of the vehicle. The owner of over 800 world class vehicles he was building a museum to house his collection. Between 07-08' the Judge received a full restoration and was driven until O'Quinn's sudden death in 09'. This Judge, along with his entire collection, was caught up in litigation, eventually sold earlier this year.

After sitting in storage while Mr. O'Quinn's estate was liquidated, I went about addressing any and all things that needed attention. Over the past 4 months, while fighting constant urges to just keep driving it (I still ended up putting a little over a thousand miles in 4 months) additional minor work revealed itself, and was always completed by accomplished mechanics (recommended by the president of our local GTO club). Receipts for all work comes in a book with the previous owner's materials, and our work performed included; 4 New Tires, Rebuilt Carb, New Master Brake Cylinder, Bled Brakes, Front and Rear Shocks. Right Upper Control Arm, New Radiator, Cap and Hoses, Left Rear Tail Light, Thermostat and Gasket, Oil Sending Unit, Spark Plugs, Trans Mount, Oil Service, Trans Serivce, and Every Fluid possible. Additional repairs included new Weather Stripping, Kick Panels, Drip Rails, and Carpeting.

It now goes even better than it looks. It really is a phenomenal drive. You can take it as far and as fast as you want.  Included in the photographs are the Engine and Trans vin, which match directly to the last six digits of the vehicle VIN - and the other original, matching date coded parts. A pic of the engine prod # is also shown, and reads 0663663 WS. The picture of the transmission has many numbers, but if you look side-ways, and on the left of the photo, you'll see the vin which reads P294022.  In addition to the PHS, Dealer Order Form, and various other documents proving its provenance, the sheer amount of originality and rich ownership history only bolster what is already a very on-point, happy car.    

The only major deviation, which actually leaves meat on the bone for a new owner, is that it did not come from the factory in Carousel Red. This was originally a color code 67 (Burgundy) car. I have never seen a Burgundy 69' Judge, except the original Hot Wheels car, that came in that color. The odd fact is, it's spent most of its life, with Carousel Red paint. The oldest known owner I spoke to, Mike from PA, stated that when he purchased the car, it was already this color. And he left it be. John O'Quinn likely wanted the iconic color, and kept it as such. With no body work required, and a still coated and clean, completely rust free under-carriage, and engine compartment, if the color were returned to Burgundy, along with all the numbers matching components, you'll have a rare, #'s matching Judge. Or, if the maximum possible resale isn't why you're interested, and you just want something to love, there's more than enough of that.

I am located in Calabasas, CA and invite serious buyers to inspect and test drive for themselves. I shot a little video so you can hear and see for yourself, if I can't post it here, ask me for it, and I'll happily email. I am open to partial or full trades (keep it muscle and American or don't offer).

Domestic or International Buyers welcome. Winning bidder must arrange for shipping and all funds must be received prior to releasing vehicle and title.

Junkyard Gem: 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, with extremely rad W25 Appearance Package

Sun, Dec 22 2019

Radwood has sparked a revival in the appreciation of goofy 1980s and 1980s automotive fashions, from neon-colored tape stripes to excessive TURBO badging to ads featuring horrifying Nagel-style women with radio faceplates instead of eyes. I see a lot of discarded cars that would have been ideal to bring to Radwood, and today's Junkyard Gem is even radder than, say, a purple Mercury Tracer Trio or a teal Chevy Beretta GT or even the elusive Dodge Daytona IROC R/T (yes, there were IROC Daytonas): a genuine Pontiac Sunbird SE convertible with the W25 Appearance Package and Bright White Star wheels. The W25 package got you a white Sunbird with kicky script badging, white wheels, and — if you opted for the optional 3.1-liter V6 — these candy-cane-influenced red-and-white displacement badges on the fenders. Now this is rad! The white interior got dirty fast, especially if the owner left the convertible top down, and these wheels were tough to keep clean for more than a few hours. This one appears to have spent many years sitting abandoned with the top down, judging by the completely trashed interior. The base engine for 1992 was the good old Cavalier four-banger, complete with 111 horsepower. This 3.1-liter engine made a respectable-for-1992 140 horses, for plenty of torque-steery, tire-squealy fun. As a J-Body car, the Sunbird was a sibling to the Chevrolet Cavalier in 1992 (the J-based Cadillac Cimarron, Oldsmobile Firenza, and Buick Skyhawk departed before the end of the 1980s). Starting in 1994, the Pontiac Sunfire replaced the Sunbird, continuing in production all the way through the demise of the J platform in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.

Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did

Fri, Jun 21 2019

Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.

Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken

Fri, Feb 8 2019

Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
