Here we have the ultimate project, a 1970 Pontiac Bonneville convertible with the matching numbers drivetrain and thousands of dollars in NOS parts(see list below and pictures) as well used parts(see pictures).This car was sold new in Boulder Colorado, but appears to have spent it's life in the Salt Lake City Utah until my purchase in 2004. Car is loaded with options including A.C.,power windows, 6-way power seat, power door locks, trunk release, tilt wheel, cruise control, rally guages, cornering lights and rally wheels and dual exhaust. Also included is a complete factory am/fm multiplex stereo with seperate tranny hump mounted 8-track player. This car is currently registered and insured and the motor and tranny are excellent with no leaks, one brake line needs to be replaced. I purchased this car 10 years ago with the intent of fully restoring it and have spent this time scouring the internet for NOS parts as well as used parts and everything is included with the purchase of the car. Since owning the car I installed a new tinted widshield, had the brake booster restored and properly plated with new master cylinder, alternator as well as a correct date coded carberator, new distributor and reproduction date coded ignition wires. The top was replaced in 2002 and at that time the top motor and both top pistons were replaced with new, the top is still in pretty decent shape with the proper glass rear window. I also have the correct NOS vinyl upholstery with enough yardage to do both the front and rear seats purchased from Original Auto Interiors. What the car really needs is bodywork and paint. I removed most of the interior and exterior moldings so you can see what really needs to be done. The car has the usual rust in the rear quarters and some minor floor rust, but the frame is excellent as well as the doors and rockers and even the the trunk floor, included with the auction are lower quarter panel repair panels for both sides.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
