It retains all of it original sheet metal from quarters,fenders,doors to frame floors and trunk, I have documentation of every owner since day one and have spoken to the original owner of car when I purchased it 5 years ago, he owned the car twice. I am the sixth owner of the car. He special ordered this car because he wanted a blue interior, he traded in a 1965 Grand Prix blue on blue. He ordered it with the Ram Air 3, 4 speed and 3:55 rear, he ordered it with the power disc brakes but no power steering because we all were led to believe that power steering robbed power! Well I added the correct power steering setup when I got the car. He ordered it with the very cool hidden headlights, gauge package and am radio with rear speaker. I added the correct 1969 am/fm. I also added the correct 1969 console. In addition I added a correct repro wood wheel but have the original blue wheel as well. Color of the car is Liberty Blue with Dark Blue Interior.


Condition

Body- Car sat in a barn for allot of years and I have been told mileage is true at 82,000. The original owner bought it back to restore and decided against it, I guess when you buy it new for 4,000 and you get it back worn its hard to restore it for thousands more then you got it for originally. He sold it to a another gentleman who did nothing and he sold it to the gentleman who restored the car in 1994, The body was in great shape but the original owner cut out the wheel wells for bigger tires so that was repaired correctly, all in all there is very little filler on car, I have included pictures of car before paint. When I received the car in 2007 the paint was faded, I had it professionally wet sanded and buffed and it came out great! the car is straight down the sided and smooth, paint is from 1994 so there are some touch ups and such but shows extremely well. I would rate the body and paint 8 out of 10.... I had the underside steam cleaned and painted when I got it and it looks good but I drive the car . The car is as solid , no repro panels , no floor or frame repair...car has integrity!

Engine- I took this to my mechanic and had the engine pulled and checked for compression , the heads were pulled and valve guides redone, I also sent the heads in to get cleaned up for better flow, the inside of the engine was beautiful and it was rebuilt in 1994, I believe there is only 8000 miles on this engine, its 30 over with correct 10:75 pistons,It does have a ram air IV cam, I have all the receipts for the rebuild, When I got the heads back I decided to have a Edelbrock intake put on with all the Edelbrock names and numbers blasted off, sorry Vic! But I have the original cast iron manifold, the choke is hooked up and everything looks stock but it flows much better and the horsepower improved substantially with the head and manifold work without sacrificing stock look or drive ability. we then resealed the engine detailed the engine compartment and stuck it back in, we also resurfaced the flywheel and added a dual center force clutch. rebuilt the carb, resealed the transmission and went through the rear end. Added all new correct fuel lines as well.also has original ram air manifolds

Suspension. - I had everything redone all new front end, springs, shocks, brake lines, all brakes were redone at this time as well.New Power Brake booster and as I said we added power steering. Everything that needed attention for driving I did.

Interior- I had the front seats taken out and re foamed as well as fixed the springs, I added the Wood Wheel and Console and AM/FM, The Interior is all, all original and has held up well, there is a hole in the original headliner . I believe the carpet is new and front windshield, other then that its all from 1969...

 Exhaust- Brand New Pypes Stainless System with Hidden Electric Cutouts, car has a awesome sound but no drone effect, you can drive with the windows up or down , its not obnoxious. Pypes says system adds  extra horse and I believe them!  

Car is sitting on repro redlines on correct rally wheels, also has its original remote mirror for what its worth.

I did so much to this car I hate to look at the receipts, I had the hidden headlight system redone so they operate perfectly,so does the original ram air system, its not repro and very cool to have! 

The car drives like a two year old car, not brand new but pretty damn close, you can drive this car anywhere, Does not over heat a bit!! It is a pleasure to drive, it fires right up and idles nicely but hey you know the engine is there,  it has a ram air IV idle! 

I know everything about this car, it is not a standard dealer ordered GTO, it was a late May special order delivered end of June, I said in the add Judge Delete and thats what I feel it is, everything you would get in a standard Judge, I am a purist when it comes to GTO's and I refuse to add the wing or graphics to make it look like a exact Judge replica, its a great car in its own right and deserves to stand on its own for what it was and is. I think as a driver its a Solid 3 car with very little to make it a 2... Mechanically its a 1.... .

And I saved this for last, Car is.very docile in traffic but does everything you would want it to do when you want to do it. And then some!!!!!

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky

Sat, Jun 26 2021

The 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:

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Sunbird Sedan

Sun, Jun 28 2020

The J-Body platform was a giant seller for GM, staying in production from the first 1981 Chevrolet Cavalier all the way through that final 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. Outside of North America, Opels and Daewoos and Isuzus and Holdens and Vauxhalls and even Toyotas flew the J flag, and better than ten million rolled out of showrooms during that quarter-century. In the United States, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, and Cadillac each sold J-Bodies. Of those, the Pontiac Sunbird often had the sportiest image, more cavalier than even the Cavalier Z24. I've documented a discarded Sunbird Turbo in the past, and now here's a bread-and-butter Sunbird sedan from the same era. The Sunbird name began its life in 1976 on the Pontiac-badged version of the rear-wheel-drive Buick Skyhawk, itself based on the Chevy Vega. The first J-Body Pontiacs had J2000 badges, then 2000 badges, then 2000 Sunbird badges, until finally the pure non-2000 Sunbird appeared for the 1985 model year. I remain disappointed that the 2000 name didn't survive into our current century, because we could have had a 2000 Pontiac 2000, or just the "2000 2000" for short. The base engine in the '86 Sunbird was this SOHC 1.8-liter four of Brazilian origin, rated at 84 horsepower. Originally developed by Opel in the late 1970s, this engine family went into cars built all across the sprawling GM empire. 84 horsepower doesn't sound like much— and it wasn't much, even by 1986 standards— but at least the original buyer of this car had the smarts to get the five-speed manual transmission. This car weighed just 2,336 pounds, a good 500 pounds lighter than the current Chevy Sonic, so performance with the manual transmission was tolerable. The '86 Sunbird's interior was much nicer than those in its Cavalier siblings, though nowhere near the Cadillac Cimarron's reading on the Plush-O-Meter. An AM/FM/cassette stereo with auto reverse was serious audio hardware in a cheap car during the middle 1980s, when even a scratchy factory AM-only radio cost the equivalent of several hundred 2020 bucks. The price tag of this car started at $7,495, or about $17,500 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible Cavalier sedan went for $6,888 in 1986, but a zero-option base '86 Cavalier would make you think you'd been transported to the Soviet Union every time you slunk into its harsh confines.

A case for Pontiac's return

Wed, Apr 5 2017

Sadly, many brands have disappeared off of the automotive landscape over the decades. Many people have imagined over the years of restarting defunct automotive brands. A few of those dreamers even made prototypes to shop around and to established connections with investors. But, alas poor Yorick, however valiant an effort, many brands are shuttered for good, rarely to be heard of again except in historical tales or maybe seen in car shows. So, what do you do when you win the lottery? Not just any lottery... In fact, it is a lottery that takes care of you and your loved ones for life? You and your family don't have to work, ever. You can give to charity, pay other people to do those projects that you've been putting off, and so on and so on. But, you're still a Car Nut right? There begins the conundrum. Do you buy and fix cars, new premium cars, old muscle cars, or classics, or maybe, just maybe, do you buy the rights to an old departed automotive brand and bring it back to life. Hmm. Which brand? The problem with the old Pontiac was that it was an additional badge engineered vehicle in the portfolio of GM. The meant the brand was diluted by competition from its own parent company, in addition to the competition outside the camp. So, if it were to come back, it would have to be different. Yet, it would still need to keep true to its roots at the same time in order to wake up its armies of existing fans. Even those that aren't fans of Pontiac cannot deny that Pontiac has a long heritage of legendary vehicles. So do Packard, and Studebaker, and others. So, why would a lottery winner choose Pontiac as the marque to bring back? That's easy! Pontiac's long heritage is closely tied to performance vehicles that made many of a teenager drool. Even more important though is that Pontiac is still fresh on people's minds. The brand itself is only recently departed. So, Boomers, Generation X, and Millenials all would all be able to identify with it as opposed to brand names that disappeared multiple decades ago and that now have a more limited appeal. The return of Pontiac couldn't just be another launch of a badge engineered vehicle. It would have to be performance oriented, yes. But, it would have to be unique in some way, a niche brand. What niche though? Look at the automotive landscape now and you see that Tesla is the one out there grabbing at the wide open electric niche with success.
