Clear Nebraska title.  Drive it home this weekend.  Arizona car - - sat for 19 years.  Trailered up here from Tucson and has been in middle America for 18 months.  A blast to drive.  Alas, 3 kids in college next fall and a full driveway.

Sheet metal is surprisingly good for a car almost 50 years old:  trunk - - very good.  Interior floor - - some rust through on driver's floor.  Rear quarters - - A OK.  Rockers - - A OK.

326 V-8 in the car when it came north ... that engine died on the way to a regional car show.  Now the car has a fresh, machine-shop rebuilt Pontiac 400.  Some mild performance parts were added:  gear timing, mild cam, Holley carb, high-rise Edelbrock manifold, W-2 heads, distributor, stainless mufflers.  Also new gas tank, rear shocks, wiper motor.

As you've noticed, car has a GTO hood.  Arizona car, so it once had air conditioning (AC parts no longer around).  Dash pad tells the story that this buggy sat in the sun.  Headliner is gone.  Rear bench seat back - - upholstery deteriorated and removed, although the seat frame is here.  I think all exterior chrome is here but I haven't ordered new clips yet to install it.  At some point you will want to have the rear window channel blasted.  You can see a couple thumb-sized holes in driver side "flying buttress."  Tires are good.

I like the mid-60's Pontiacs and that classic coke-bottle A-body.  But sometimes it seems to me that the cars available for sale are either restored trailer-queens with pricetags in the stratosphere ... or rusted out and need 9 pieces of sheet metal. Then there are many for sale that are "almost ready" but just need ____________.  Or they are 2000 miles away from me.

So here's a road-ready car that you can drive all summer and work on next winter.  You could leave it as is for 5-10 years.  You need nothing to drive it the rest of the summer.  The front end is good and steering is tight.  The brakes are good.  The car downright flies when you step on it, and man, what a rumble (the shop welded Harley-Davidson chrome tips on for a little fun).  If you don't want people looking up when you rumble through an intersection, this car is not for you.

Gauges are not working.  Aftermarket under dash double gauge does work.  There is evidence of some bondo on driver's side upper rear quarter panel, but no dent is evident from inside the trunk so it does not seem to be deep.  I have tried to represent this car honestly and will answer any questions or take any pictures you ask for.  I hope that some will agree the price is fair.  

This car is a builder, but they're not making any more of these.  Car is right in middle of the USA at the crossroads of I-80 and I-29.  I've worked for a decade to have a 100% eBay feedback rating, so don't bid if you don't have the cash right now.  $1000 PayPal down payment within 24 hours.

Price starts at $8500.  Enjoy the pics (I'll add a couple more this weekend).  Thanks for looking - - good hunting!

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.

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag

Wed, Feb 20 2019

Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."

BMX rider flips for wrecked Detroit football stadium

Fri, Jun 12 2015

Detroit is littered with derelict ruins. Abandoned automotive assembly plants, sure – but also former sports venues, like Tiger Stadium in Corktown, Roesink Stadium in Hamtramck, and the Silverdome in Pontiac. BMX rider Tyler Fernengel remembers going to see the Lions and Pistons play at the Silverdome in his youth, and competed there in Supercross as a boy. The stadium hasn't been used in years, but now, with his career just picking up, Tyler has returned to film this video – riding through its halls, jumping its stairwells and flipping over its grandstands and field. It's a fitting tribute to a once-great venue of suburban Michigan. Check out the footage in this latest clip from Red Bull.
