This is a 1974 Pontiac GTO (Ventura) hatchback in very good condition for its age but does need restoration. This was the last year of the GTO until 2004 and was the only year that is was based on the Ventura which is basicly a Nova. This car was sold in Pasedena california and lived its whole life in California. There is almost NO rust on this car which is unheard of. I have had many of these cars and have never seen one that is in this good of shape when it comes to rust. I have pictures of the rust, they are two small places in the trunk part of the hatchback that are about the size of a quarter in each place, a small quarter size hole at the bottom of the drivers side quarter panel, and some small holes in the lower part of the hatch back. There is a picture of the right quater panel that shows some bondo but it is not covering up rust, there is a dent that someone did a terrible job of fixing. Instead of pulling the dent out, they filled it with bondo. (they did that alot back then). In the pictures of the under neath there is something that is peeling off that might look like rust in the pictures but it is not. I think it is some kind of rust proofing they used back then. When it peels off the metal underneath, it looks like the day the car was made with the black e coat under it. There is surface rust in the trunk area as well, but it is just that, surface rust, no holes. There are dents in various places, one in the front left fender at the bottom which is decent size and several other small ones. The window mouldings are missing from the pictures but ARE included. The engine is not original and acording to the numbers on the block is a 400 that runs good. It has a holley carb instead of the original quadrajet. It has a carb adapter which raises the carb and puts the shacker scoop a little too high so I would either replace the intake or go back with a quadrajet. The engine has a small cam which you can hear a little thump in the exhaust. The transmission shifts and the car goes down the road but please dont ask me if you can drive it home. It has non power drum brakes and stops good. It has the tach and the gauge package on the console, the G80 the safe t track posi traction rear end and several other special options. Every guage and tach works which I couldent believe. they never work. the shacker scoop has a peice missing from it but I am including a good one with the car. I have the PHS paperwork that shows its a real GTO and all the options. You will NOT find a 74 GTO with a body in better shape than this car. I bought it to restore as this is the same kind of car that I had in high school but I will never get around to it. I hate to see it go and but I do not have to sell it so please dont make offers. If you want one of these cars you better buy it, you will not find a better one. Thanks for looking. It may take me a little while to answer questions because I get busy a work and can only check messages late at night. A NON refundable $500.00 deposite is due within 48 hours of end of auction with the rest within 7 days. I can store the car for a couple of weeks if needed. I have may cars shipped with auto transports I found on a serch and it is amazingly simple.

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am
Sun, Jun 28 2015The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.
Junkyard Gem: 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition
Tue, Aug 29 2017The W Platform proved to be extremely long-lived and versatile for General Motors, remaining in production from 1988 all the way through 2016. You had your Impalas and your Regals and your Cutlass Supremes, and of course the 1988-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix was a W-body. For the 2000 model year, Pontiac made the racy-looking Daytona 500 Edition Grand Prix, an example of which I just found in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. 2,000 of these cars were made, presumably because it was the year 2000, and each one sports plenty of cool-looking Daytona 500 graphics. Perhaps some Regal owner will buy these seats and swap them. This is the second junked Daytona 500 Grand Prix I have seen recently, after this one in Colorado. The Daytona 500 was about the same as the GTP version, with Eaton-supercharged 3800 engine making a respectable 240 horsepower. Disappointingly, this car has an automatic transmission. It never saw 150,000 miles, unlike most 21st-century W-bodies I see in wrecking yards. Featured Gallery Junked 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 Edition View 21 Photos Auto News Pontiac Sedan
Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Tue, Jun 19 2018For General Motors, the W platform just kept giving and giving and giving for decade after decade, serving as the basis of Buick Regals, Oldsmobile Intrigues, Chevrolet Monte Carlos, and many, many more models. The final and most powerful Pontiac W-Body, the sixth-generation Grand Prix GTP, rolled off assembly lines for the 1997 through 2003 model years. Here's one in a Northern California self-service wrecking yard. GM bolted the supercharged 3800 V6 into vast numbers of cars during this era, providing a deep reservoir of cheap blowers for unwise high-boost projects. 240 front-tire-charring horses, complete with a Roots-type blower scream from the Eaton supercharger under the hood. I see plenty of blown 3800s during my junkyard travels, from the Bonneville SSEi to the Oldsmobile LSS. Depressingly, GM stopped putting manual transmissions in the Grand Prix during the 1993 model year, so '01 GTP owners had to take the four-speed slushbox. This one came close to the magic 200,000-mile mark, but fell 25,000 short. The interior took a beating during its life, ending its time on the road with shredded upholstery and dirty panels. Seven-band graphic equalizers were all the rage during the 1980s, but GM kept the tradition alive into our current century. This content is hosted by a third party.
