Color: Aggressive (red) Mileage: 88KEngine: 2 liter turbo (this is a GXP)Transmission: 5 speed automaticLocation: Burlington, Vermont (about 3 hours north of Boston/ 1 hour south of Montreal) This car has been my baby, and I have taken great care of it. It and runs and drives perfectly. I am the second owner of the car, the first owner was a GM engineer who also took good care of it (I bought the car private party) The car has been very reliable mechanically with only routine maintenance required, aside from having to replace the passenger side seat sensor. The oil has been changed using Mobil 1 synthetic every 5-6k. Options on the car include:Black leather seatsLeather wrapped steering wheelStock chrome plated 18" wheelsPremium acoustic headlinerSport metallic pedalsRear spoilerXM radioOver the years, I have made a few desirable mods to the car:Trifecta "budget" tune, good for 300 HP.Magnaflow catback exhaust, all stainless steel with dual 4" tipsDejon air intake, color matched to color of carGM PAL iPod integration kitThe combination of the intake, tune and exhaust make for a very fun and fast car. At low speeds, you can hear the turbo whistle and blow off clearly thanks to the intake. The Trifecta tune is terrific, the car takes off like a rocket and pins you back in your seat once you hit the gas. A couple of years ago, I clipped a curb at low speed in a parking lot. The front bumper had a small crack and was replaced, and the right rocker panel (the area below the door) was repaired by a reputable body shop. The paint matches perfectly, as you can see in the pictures. Only selling because I moved to Vermont a couple of years ago, and because of the severe winters here, the car sits in storage for much of the year. I have a four wheel drive winter beater, but I'd like to get something nicer that I can drive year round. Many more pictures in addition to the ones below can be viewed here I have a clear title in my name in hand. I can be reached via eBay messages, or feel free to call/text me at 352-871-1598. Thanks!

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Phoenix LJ Hatchback

Sun, Jan 22 2023

The car-building world was rushing headlong into front-wheel-drive by the late 1970s, eager to reap the weight-saving and space-enhancing benefits of front-drive designs. General Motors designed an innovative FWD platform to replace the embarrassingly outdated Chevrolet Nova and its siblings, and that ended up being the Chevrolet Citation. The other US-market GM car divisions (except Cadillac) got a piece of the X-Body action, and the Pontiac version was called the Phoenix. Here's one of those first-year Phoenixes, not doing a very good job of rising from its snow-covered ashes in a Colorado self-service yard. Pontiac had used the Phoenix name on a luxed-up iteration of Pontiac's version of the Chevy Nova during the 1977-1979 model years, and so it made sense to apply that name to the Pontiac-ized Citation. Phoenix production continued through the 1984 model year (the Citation managed to hang on through 1985). Just to confuse everyone, the Nova name was revived in 1985, on a NUMMI-built Toyota Corolla. The LJ trim level was the nicest one for the 1980 Phoenix, and it included lots of trim upgrades and convenience features. However, even Phoenix LJ buyers had to pay extra for a three-speed automatic transmission instead of the base four-on-the-floor manual ($337, or about $1,291 in 2022 dollars). If you wanted air conditioning, that was another $564 and you had to get the $164 power steering and the $76 power brakes with it (total cost in 2022 dollars: $3,080). Affordable cars weren't so affordable back then, not once you started adding basic options. Both generations of the Phoenix had grilles influenced by those of the Pontiacs of earlier years. The base engine was the chugging 2.5-liter Iron Duke four-cylinder, but a 2.8-liter V6 was optional. This car has the V6, rated at 115 horsepower rather than the Duke's miserable 90 horses. The price tag: 225 bucks, or 862 inflation-adjusted 2022 bucks. The Phoenix was available just as a two-door coupe and five-door hatchback. The MSRP on this car would have started at $6,127, or around $23,469 now. That would have been a pretty good deal even after paying for the options, with the Phoenix's excellent mix of good interior space and solid fuel economy… but the Citation and its kin (the Oldsmobile Omega and Buick Skylark as well as the Phoenix) suffered from seemingly endless, highly publicized recalls and quality problems.
