What an Opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind Pontiac at a great price!!

 

Rarely do you find a low production Pontiac T-37 with a slim chance of finding another one like it.  Up for auction is a stunning 1971 Pontiac LeMans T-37 that has undergone a complete frame-up restoration.  The car is owned by a friend of mine who spared no expen$e in its restoration. The car was born in California and spent most of its life on the west coast, always garaged and never any rust.  It has all of its original GM sheet metal (panels etc.).  The car was stripped to the bare metal and painted in a base/coat clear coat, Adriatic Blue (paint code 24, its original color). It has the dependable 350 cu. inch engine, automatic trans., power steering, disc brakes and cold A/C.  The following is a partial list of what’s been done to this magnificent machine:   

 

  • Original engine was rebuilt to factory specs.

  • Rebuilt turbo 350 trans. with new modulator.

  • Rear axle was inspected and serviced.

  • New aluminum radiator.

  • New motor mounts and trans. mount.

  • New belts.

  • Rebuilt carburetor.

  • New A/C compressor, condenser, evaporator, thermal expansion valve, drier.

  • New Delco ignition cable set.

  • New heater hoses.

  • New windshield washer pump.

  • New fuel and water pump.

  • New power steering box and pressure hoses.

  • New battery.

  • New interior including new dash pad.

  • New complete ‘Infinity’ car stereo system with speakers.

  • New upper/lower ball joints.

  • New control arm bushings.

  • New front sway bar link kit.

  • New sway bar frame bushings.

  • All new springs and shocks.

  • Front end alignment.

  • Balanced drive shaft with new U joints.

  • New Flowmaster exhaust system.

  • New Delco fuel level sender.

  • All New Weatherstriping.

  • New Pontiac Rallye II chrome wheels and new Coker red line radial tires.

  • Has a Great Stereo

 

The car runs and drives beautifully.  Photos cannot capture the true beauty of this classic Pontiac.  The floor pans, frame rails, and trunk are in excellent condition. All of the pot metal, bumpers, moldings etc. are also in excellent condition.  In my opinion, this is an unbelievable find.  I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere.  It has a clear title and plenty of documentation including:

 

  • Build sheet.

  • Owners manual.

  • PHS documents, including window sticker.

  • Service and restoration receipts.

  • 1971 Pontiac New Vehicle Warranty Brochure.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac Vibe

Wed, Apr 17 2024

Just over a month before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2009, General Motors announced that the 83-year-old Pontiac Division would be "phased out" by the end of 2010. Only three Pontiac vehicles were sold as 2010 models in the United States: the Solstice, Vibe and G6 (new G3s were sold here during 2010 but they were all 2009 models, while the G5 was available as a 2010 model only in Canada and Mexico). Today's bit of junkyard automotive history is one of the very last Vibes ever built, found in a yard near Denver, Colorado. This car is significant not just as one of the final vehicles to bear Pontiac badges but also as one of the last cars built by the New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated GM-Toyota joint venture in California, better known as NUMMI. The NUMMI factory began life as GM's Fremont Assembly, which built its first vehicle (a C-Series pickup) in 1963 and closed in 1982 after building its final vehicle (an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera). Rebooted as NUMMI, the first 1985 Chevrolet Nova (an Americanized AE82 Toyota Corolla Sprinter) rolled off the line in December of 1984. A quarter-century and better than eight million vehicles hence, NUMMI shut down production after its last Corolla was finished on April 1, 2010. While there was some noise about the Oakland Athletics building a new stadium on the site at the time, Tesla ended up buying most of the site soon after that. Tesla now builds more vehicles per year there than NUMMI ever did. The Vibe was co-developed with Toyota and based on the same platform as the ninth-generation Corolla. The Toyota Matrix was mechanically identical and was built in Canada, while the Japanese-market version (known as the Toyota Voltz) was built on the same NUMMI line as the Vibe and shipped across the Pacific. The Vibe/Matrix/Voltz got a redesign for the 2009 model year, but few noticed due to all the turmoil in the GM world at the time. The final Vibe was built in August 2009. This car was built in July of 2009, just before the end. It was living in West Texas just prior to coming to Colorado. El Paso is about a ten-hour drive from this car's current location. Once in the Centennial State, it got parked somewhere it shouldn't have been and ended up being auctioned to Pick Your Part. An occupant of this Vibe had time to sample some of the local agricultural products before that happened.

This junkyard '91 Grand Am is as hooptie as it gets

Wed, Jun 29 2016

I spend a lot of time in junkyards. A lot of time. With all this experience, I have learned to recognize a perfect hooptie when I see one, a car whose final owner got every last bit of use out of it when its value was hovering right about at scrap value. This 1991 Pontiac Grand Am that I spotted in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard a few days ago, from the final model year for the third-generation Grand Am, checks all the hooptie boxes just right. First of all, it's a low-option coupe with the wretched and unloved GM Iron Duke engine, a rattly, gnashy, thrashy 2.5-liter four-cylinder kludged together using off-the-shelf parts from the Pontiac 301-cubic-inch V8 during the darkest years of the Malaise Era and used in cars whose buyers just didn't care. Most of the paint has been burned off by 25 years of harsh California sun, but the car spent sufficient time in a damp, shady spot for lichens to build up here and there. There are skeletons-with-sombreros stencils sprayed here and there, plus a big moonshine-guzzling skeleton mural painted on the hood. Goodbye, property values! Still, someone felt some affection for this car, giving it the name "Good Ol' Snakey" and painting that name on the decklid. We can assume that the Iron Duke was a bit loose by this time, probably leaving a serpentine trail of blue smoke behind the car at all times. So, the combination of cheapness, ugliness, menace, and who-gives-a-damn functionality make this Grand Am an excellent example of a pure hooptie. Within a couple of months, it will be crushed, shredded, shipped out of the Port of Oakland, and reborn in China as refrigerators and Geely Emgrands. Somewhere in Northern California, though, a few of Ol' Smokey's friends will remember this car fondly.
