Highly Sought-After #13 Heads 10:1 Compression, 2:11 Intake/1.77 Exhaust with 72cc Combustion Chamber. (Same Heads Used On GTO)

Appx. 76,000 Miles On Engine. Vehicle’s Odometer Reads 69,106 But I’m Sure That’s Inaccurate.

Correct Trans Am Fender Louvers / 3-Piece Trans Am Rear Wing / Front Spoiler

~3 Year Old Paint With Clear Coat. There Are Imperfections That Could Be Addressed With Wet-Sanding For A Smoother Shine.

When I Bought this Car, It Was Nice. I've Spent Time and Money To Make it Nicer. I Will Include With Sale The Paperwork Which Shows The Improvements I've Paid For - Parts And Service By Only The Most Qualified Local Specialists, Which Total Thousands and Thousands $$ - Including But Not Limited To:

New Upper And Lower Radiator Hoses / All  New Freeze Plugs / New Control Arm Bushings / New Lower Ball Joints / New Tie Rod Ends / New Front Shocks / New Rear Leaf Spring Plates / Upgraded Brake Calipers / New Window Felts / New Window Trim / Window Pillar Interior Mouldings / Arm Rest Pad / Windshield Wiper Mechanisms / New Weather Stripping For Windows And Trunk / New Door Interior Widow Mechanisms / New Door Handle Assemblies / New Wiring For Turn Signals, Horn, And Gauges / New Chrome Alternator / New Fuel Pump, Filter And Gas Gauge Sending Unit / New Gauge Cluster: Oil Pressure/Temp/Voltage / New Dual Exhaust – 2 1/2 “ From Stock Exhaust Manifolds With  Chrome Tips / New Turbo Mufflers –Throaty, Street-Friendly Note With Balanced Flow And Backpressure

Temperature Gauge Has Not Gone Over About 190 In The Heat Of Our Florida Summer. In The Cooler Months, It Settles Around 160-170. These Pontiacs Typically Run Hot, But I’ve Not Had That Problem And I Thank The Oversized Radiator.  Oil Pressure Runs 40psi. 

The Car Has Very Little Rust And The Frame Is Very Straight. Frame, Floor Pans, Wheel Wells, Rear Quarters are All Clean. There Is Evidence Of Resin Repair On The Top Of The Right Rear Fender Hip Just Past The Side Window – Just A Slight Crack And Otherwise Unnoticeable And Very Straight.  There Is 1.5” Of Circular Bubbling On The Passenger Doorskin Near The Bottom Of The Door Under The Handle. 

Chrome Is Complete And All Shines Well. The Rear Bumper Is Immaculate And Has Clearly Been Replaced With A Very Nice Reproduction. The Front Nose Chrome Has A Little Pitting As Is Typical Of A 45 Year-Old Original. I’ve Done The Best I Can With Chrome Polish.

The Rally Wheels Are In Beautiful Condition With No Apparent Scratches Or Dents And Trim Rings Are All Present And Gleaming.

Michelin LT4 Tires Have Plenty Of Tread And Hold Air & A Great Shine.

Battery was Relocated To The Trunk To Accommodate Its Size Along with the Newer Radiator And Give The Engine Compartment A Cleaner Look. 

Holley HP Mechanical Fuel Pump Was Installed To Replace The Original To Provide Adequate Fuel Pressure With Regulator, Mounted Discretely On Inner Fender Well And Set At 6-PSI (Stock Fuel  Pumps Are Notoriously Under-Powered).  It Feeds a 4bbl Rochester Quadrajet Which Is Missing Choke Mechanism – This Only Affects Cold Starts, Not Drivability. 

I Will Continue To Be Candid About The Car’s Condition As Best I Can. I Will Make No Claims About The Car’s Overall Condition Or What Is Definitely Missing Or how it May Vary From Stock Assembly. But As Far As I Can Tell, Car Is Missing The Following (Some of Which I have and Will Include With Sale at No Extra Charge, as Noted):

Radio & Speakers– The Electrician Who Completed The Other Electrical Work On The Car Says That There Is Power Supplying The Radio, But The Radio Is Not Hooked Up To Speakers. I Did Not Buy This Car To Listen To The Radio And The Stock-Looking Radio Remains In The Dash.  The Rear Package Tray Cover Is New And Complete, But Unadulterated. There Are Speaker Ports Underneath If You’d Like To Add Speakers.

Seatbelts & Headrests: The Stock Shoulder Straps Remain And Are Clipped In The Stock Location. I Have Two Seatbelts That Came With The Car, Un-Mounted. You May Choose To Install Them. It Was My Plan To Install 3-Point Retractable Seatbelts.

I Have 2 Headrests That Would Need To Be Painted To Match. These Come With The Car, But I Think It Looks Better Without.

Speedometer Cable: My Mechanic Says One Just Needs To Be Ordered And Installed And That All The Workings At Transmission And Speedometer Are Present And Intact. 

Trans-Am Exhaust Tips: I Removed The Trans Am Dual Chrome Tips Because I Prefer The Car Without. They Will Come With The Car So You Can Install Them If You’d Like.

I Am Not A Frequent Buyer Or Seller On Ebay, As You May Observe. I Am Not A Frequent Buyer Or Seller Of Anything. I Bought This Car On Ebay And Am Selling It On Ebay Because Of Its Vast Exposure And Huge Marketplace. This Is Not The Kind Of Car I Expected To Happen Upon Locally And I Expect There Are People All Over The Country Who May Be Interested.

This Car Is Not A Show-Winner, But Is A “Show-Stopper.” It Does Not Just Turn Heads, It Stops Traffic. I Cannot Go Anywhere Without Having A Conversation About This Car. I've Been Hailed-Down, Called-Out And One Gentleman Even Put His Life In My Hands By Walking Out In The Middle Of The Street In Front Of The Car To Stop Me And Talk About It.  Everyone Has a Camaro - Be Unique and Get a Firebird. This Trans-Am Look will Set You Apart and Put You Above The Rest at Local Cruise Night!

Since There Were Only 689 Hard Tops And 8 Convertible Trans Ams Made In 1969, This Car Is Just Not Seen On The Road And People Go Bananas Over It. I’m Always Honest About It Being A Clone, But A Lot Of People Think It’s Just Original, Insisting That The Imperfections And Tiny Cracks In The Fiberglass On The Hood Are Characteristic Of Original GTO And Trans Am Models.

I Am Selling This Car Because It’s Just Too Beautiful For Me – Too Much Of A Collector’s Item. I Have Only Ever Had Hot Rods And I Thought I Could Calm Down And Just Have A Sweet Classic Ride, But I Keep It In The Garage, Don’t Drive It In The Rain And Baby It On The Road, Avoiding Brick Roads, Puddles, And People Who Stare Too Hard At It.  This Car Is For Someone Who Wants To Be Looked At And Envied. If You Want Jealous Neighbors &  Friends And You Want To Be Approached And Revered In Every Parking Lot And Gas Station You Visit … This Car Is For You.

Junkyard Gem: 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT

Fri, Jun 26 2020

The New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, built Toyota-derived machinery — badged as Toyotas, Chevrolets, Geos, and Pontiacs— from 1984 through 2010, and some of the very last vehicles that left the assembly line were Pontiac Vibes. The Vibe, sibling to the Toyota Matrix, mostly served as a ho-hum transportation appliance and/or fleet car, but a factory-hot-rod GT version could be purchased. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those rare GTs, complete with the nearly unheard-of six-speed manual transmission, found in a self-service yard in northeastern Colorado. The regular Vibe had 123 or 130 horsepower, depending on the number of driven wheels, but the Vibe GT got the same 1.8-liter 2ZZ engine that went into the Celica GT-S. 180 horsepower, which was enough to make the 2,800-pound Vibe GT keep up with the 3,108-pound/215-horse Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo that year. Sadly, no race series pitting Vibe GTs against PT Cruiser Turbos and Chevy HHR SSs on road courses ever materializedÂ… but it's not too late. The Vibe GT has something you couldn't get in a PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR, though: a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. In fact, the six-speed was the only transmission offered in the early Vibe GTs (an automatic became an option later on). You'll find plenty of three-pedal econoboxes from this era, because they were significantly cheaper than their slushbox-equipped counterparts, but the Vibe GT had plenty of competition from sportier-looking cars with manual transmissions in 2004. Not many were sold. This car is covered with nasty dents from golf-ball-sized hail (all too common in High Plains Colorado), so it may have been an insurance total that nobody wanted at auction. Sold in Wyoming, will be crushed in an adjacent state. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Fuel for the soul.

Toyota had right-hand-drive Matrixes brought over to Japan from Canada, but a NUMMI-built version of the Vibe could be purchased there for a few years as well. This was the Voltz, and its advertising seems notably frantic even by the standards of Japanese car commercials.

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Pontiac G6 GT Convertible

Sun, Jan 8 2023

GM's Pontiac Division sold its first convertibles during the 1927 model year (just a year after the division's creation), then proceeded to offer memorable drop-tops for most of the following 83 years. The best-selling convertible to bear Pontiac badges during our current century was the retractable-hardtop-equipped G6, available from the G6's introduction in 2006 through the second-to-last model year of 2009 (the Sunfire convertible was available just through 2000, while the Firebird convertible vanished with the demise of the slow-selling Firebird itself after 2002). Here's one of those G6 GT convertibles, found in a Denver-region boneyard after a crash ended its driving career. Mashed right front, popped airbags. This sort of damage might have been worth repairing in 2009, but not today. The 2007 G6 was available as a coupe, sedan, or convertible. All the convertibles had the GT trim level and the 3.5-liter V6 and its 224 horsepower. The MSRP on this car was $28,750 (about $42,325 in 2022 dollars), making it the most expensive G6. The power hardtop roof folded up into the trunk, leaving 1.8 cubic feet of trunk storage space with the top down. This Karmann-designed roof system made the interior much quieter than that of a traditional soft-top convertible. All G6s were built at Orion Assembly in Michigan, where Chevy Bolts are born today. The G6 was built through the 2010 model year, making it one of the very last Pontiac models (the Vibe also made it to 2010, though it was really a Toyota Matrix). In hindsight, 2007 turned out to be an ominous year for GM. 

This 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 pace car could be yours

Fri, Jan 29 2021

Hopefully, the fans of GM's W-body '80s/'90s intermediates can forgive us, but we had pretty much forgotten — or had never really known — that one of the ways that era's Pontiac Grand Prix bathed itself in glory was by serving as the pace car for the Daytona 500. In fact, the Grand Prix paced NASCAR's marquee race every year from 1988 to 1992, and again in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2003. That first year, 1988, the Grand Prix was all-new, making its debut on the W-body platform. It was also Motor Trend's car of the year. The 1988 Daytona 500 marked the 17th year in a row that a Pontiac was chosen to set the pace but the first time a front-wheel-drive car was so honored. The '88 Grand Prix followed a spate of Pontiac Trans Ams. This '88 Grand Prix, for sale right now on eBay Motors, is presented as an actual pace car, although fans could order a complete set of pace car decals for their very own GP. The pace car is based on that year's top-spec Grand Prix, the SE. In place of the standard car's 2.8-liter V6, however, the pace car uses a modified 3.1-liter V6, which is hooked to a five-speed manual transmission. This Grand Prix is otherwise largely standard fare excepting the roof-mounted light bar, the switches for which are located next to the radio. The mechanical odometer tucked into the digital instrument cluster shows just over 5,000 miles, and presumably, not all of them were acquired on the high-banked oval. With four days to go in the auction, bidding sits at $4,000 with the reserve unmet. Although the reserve is unknown, one clue is that this Grand Prix had been listed by a classic-car dealership in Pennsylvania for $18,500. Besides the debut of the W-body Grand Prix pace car, the 1988 race is also notable for its final lap: Bobby Allison held off his son, Davey Allison, to take the checkered flag, with the father-son duo enjoying a 1-2 finish. Now, who wants to re-live those Grand Prix glory days? Get on your Pontiac and ride!   This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
