PHS(pontiac historical society) documented, real GTO with a 242 vin. original 400, 4speed transmission, ralley guages, boxed/reinforced rear trailing arms from the factory, a/c, hidden headlights, door edge guards(installed a littler higher on one door from the factory-so they were reinstalled where the factory had put them), front bumper fits nice and headlamp doors work! old am radio works. original color combination of vordero green with black interior. the paint is extremely nice and restored correctly under hood and trunk. nice and restored dash. has old water transfer Royal Racing Team decals on quarter windows. i have a old Bryant Pontiac license plate frame still somewhere and will goes with car. i am the 2nd owner per the gentleman i bought it from...his son was the original buyer from Bryant Pontiac in Covina, CA-built in van nuys, ca. the son passed away and had the car on the side of his house for years and years. the vehicle had ram air parts added by his son with parts from the dealership when purchased new according to the dad who sold it to me( old pontiac part numbers are cast into the hood scoop inserts that are open for the ram air...these are not reproduction). the underside is very nice and has been painted. mostly N.O.S. trim parts and used as little aftermarket as i could get away with. the car is litterally like new and really only needs someome else to drive it, as i have several cars and projects and this GTO is just sitting around because of it's excellent condition...yes, it's pretty much a trailer queen...you can change that. restored approx. 5-6 years ago. just had detailed recently...never had water or a wash, to keep any chance of even surface rust from occuring. trim is near perfect. hidden headlamps/grilles and heaqdlamp covers are original and restored properly and not aftermarket chinese junk. has a/c but could use the 134freon conversion(which is cheap and easy to do) runs great and shifts great...runs and works well as it should. original console restored, original bumpers are on the car, rally II wheels with N.O.S. beauty rings that i bought years ago and N.O.S. Goodyear bias-ply tires, and are not reproduction. the car is incredible. only took it to 1 show and won 1 trophy recently. exhaust trumpets on new exhaust. is missing the original intake, distributor(has HEI) and exhaust manifolds. has the old mickey thompson headers that were on the car and wrapped old-school drag style. has a new gas tank and was gone through to make sure good to run prior to the recent car show i took the car to. people went nuts over the car. the guys at Original Parts Group saw the car and were extremely impressed by the build quality of the car. THIS IS NO CLONE and I HAVE PHS PAPERWORK. all finishes correct in the right places(as i've had several GTO's and always consult my GTO expert and judge who judges events across the country for GTO events)..needs little to be 100%...if you want date coded manifold/carb/dist. i can set you up with the right person(s). engine rebuilt, trans rebuilt, diff rebearinged when restored. drives nice, runs nice...just nice, nice, nice through and through. if you were disappointed when you get the car, i'd have to say you are nuts and perhaps pickier than i've ever been. The reserve is $36,000.00. got that into it, and more-affraid to really add up the real costs. got correct nuts, bolts, fasteners in the correct places...high-effort went into this to be correct...not 'mickey moused'. not a rust bucket...prior to being restored we had to repair small area at rear window corners...repair done correctly. quarters good, doors, roof, fenders were all rust free. CA car that had been mostly covered in sunny OC, CA for decades prior to the restoration...thankfully saved me from much rust to deal with. look at the pictures and it looks great...pictures do not do this car justice and probably nicer than most freshly restored gto's. any more questions, just ask please... should mention that there is no warranty or guarantees on the car, and is AS-IS. it is nearly 50 years old after all. just check out the pictures and see what you think. No PayPal -sorry yal.

On Sep-04-14 at 13:29:07 PDT, seller added the following information: a/c works but is r12 currently. Bryant Pontiac license frame found and in the vehicle-is broken...sorry, but it is there. will add more as I receive messages asking questions. |

Burt Reynolds Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am sells for $450k
Mon, Dec 15 2014Apparently, there's still a lot of love out there for by Burt Reynolds and his famous role in Smokey and the Bandit – or at least for his car. As you might remember, Autoblog reported on the auction of the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am a few week ago. At the time, the movie star's car was already well past its $80,000 top estimate, and bidding only shot up from there for a final price of $450,000. That seems like a lot of money for a Trans Am that never actually appears in Smokey and the Bandit. According to the listing, the car was used to promote the film and was given to Reynolds afterward with his name on the title as proof of ownership. The Trans Am looks practically identical to the one in the movie with black paint, the gold firebird on the hood and Bandit name on the driver's door. This one packs a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 with a 4-barrel carburetor under the hood, an automatic transmission and a plaque inside the door that proclaims "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds." The wedding stagecoach based on an International Harvester Scout we mentioned in the earlier story also beat its top estimate of $20,000. It went for $34,375, according to the auction house's website, and in total the sale raised about $2.5 million. Scroll down to read the full announcement from Julien's Auctions. LEGENDARY STAR BURT REYNOLDS PROVES TO BE AS ICONIC AS HIS AUCTION RESULTS "Smokey and the Bandit" Trans Am Sells for $450,000 Career Memorabilia including Awards, Personal Items and Film Worn Costumes along with Vast Art Collection from Reynolds Museum Caliber Private Collection Featured at Julien's Auctions This Week Brings in $2.5 million Las Vegas, Nevada – (December 15, 2014) – Julien's Auctions, the auction house to the stars concluded a whirlwind two-day auction of The Collection of Award Winning Actor Burt Reynolds.

Burt Reynolds, best known as a leading film star, has had a storied career both on the big and small screen. Aside from his award winning portrayals of some of the world's most iconic characters in film and television, Reynolds is also a businessman who has owned a football team, a dinner theatre, a working ranch and even a museum.
Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ
Sat, Mar 4 2023A couple of years before John DeLorean and his team at the Pontiac Division created the GTO by pasting a big engine and some gingerbread on the LeMans, they created a rakish, powerful coupe based on the staid full-size Catalina. This was the 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, which sold like crazy and escalated the personal luxury coupe war already brewing in Detroit. Starting with the 1969 model year, the Grand Prix switched to a smaller chassis (shared the following year with the new Chevrolet Monte Carlo), and all subsequent rear-wheel-drive Grand Prix (that is, through 1987) remained siblings of the Monte. Today's Junkyard Gem is a rare 1980 Grand Prix LJ, found in a self-service yard near Reno, Nevada. Sure, a fresh round of Middle East conflict had put a kink in America's fuel hose in 1979, leading to gas lines and a general sense of malaise, but at least the new Grand Prix looked extra sharp for 1980. The LJ package came with all sorts of appearance and comfort goodies, including these "luxury seats with loose-pillow design in New Florentine Cloth." A Pontiac Phoenix LJ was available as well. These seats must have been very comfortable when new. Who needed a Cadillac when Pontiac would sell you this car at a base MSRP of just $7,000 (about $26,704 in 2023 dollars)? That price was what you paid if you were willing to get the base 3.8-liter Buick V6, though. To get a V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor, you had to pay extra. If you did pay the extra for a V8, which one you got depended on which state you lived in; in California, you got this 305-cubic-inch (5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block), and in the other 49 states you got a 301-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) Pontiac. The 305 was rated at 150 horsepower with 230 pound-feet; the 301 made 140hp and 240 lb-ft. This car was originally bought in California (the state line is about ten miles away from its final parking spot), so it has the Chevy engine. The V8 added $195 (plus $250 for the California-only emissions system) to the out-the-door price of the car, or about $1,316 in 2023 dollars. Outside of California, a 4.3-liter Chevy V6 was available for just 80 additional bucks ($305 now). All 1980 Grand Prix got a three-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment, with no manual available from the factory. This car has the optional air conditioning, which cost $601 ($2,293 after inflation). This is the "Custom Sport" steering wheel, which was standard on the LJ. The tilt option cost $81 ($309 today).
