1969 Pontiac Custom S Convertible (like Gto) on 2040-cars
Brick, New Jersey, United States
|
1969 Pontiac Custom S Convertible. A couple steps below a GTO, but nobody's heard of a Custom S as it was only produced for 1 year (1969). Only 2379 Convertibles were made. It is a rare car. It is also NUMBER MATCHING which helps the value of the car. This car has the 265 hp motor which has been upgraded with a 4 bbl carb and manifold to match the optional 330 hp motor offered. Automatic transmission, PS, PB (front disk), PW, Power Top, Power Antenna, Factory AC (have parts, not on car), Electronic Ignition. Original bench style seat with center armrest. Car runs and drives Very Good and could be a daily driver if you wanted to. Much has been spent to make it so. All New Suspension (Springs, Shocks, All Bushings, Sway Bar, Alignment), New Belts, New Carburetor, Cable, Spring, New Accelerator pedal, New Starter, New Alternator, Brakes, New Radiator Hoses and Clamps, Radiator just boiled out and pressure tested, New Thermostat, New Transmission Lines and fluid, Recent Tires, New retro Stereo (digital with ipod hookups) and kickpanel/speakers, New dash inserts and woodgrain, probably a few other things I'm forgetting. Car has GTO hood and spoiler. Body is straight. Good gaps, doors open and close as they should. Frame is good. My 'picky' mechanic said car does not appear to have been hit and solid. I think there has been a minor patch in a floor board and trunk, but all appears original. Original color was the Red/Orange but car was repainted Pontiac Silver. It looks like it was a professional job and the car was taken apart to do so. Body has a couple flaws. The seams above the trunk have some paint cracking and the area above the bumper on each side have some bubbles. No door dings or dents anywhere. Car is really straight! Convertible top is in decent shape. Before today, there were no tears. Somehow today, I developed an 1 1/2" slice on the passenger side. Minor, but still a flaw. I also have a tonno cover for when the top is down. The flaws...I couple projects still to do. The idiots lights don't work. Not a big deal as there are mechanical gauges but the gas gauge is included in the 'not working' category. I'm told it needs the printed circuit board replaced (which I have). The blower motor for heat/ac doesn't work (I have a new one too), the dash has a couple cracks, not bad (but I have a dash pad for that too) Interior is near perfect with one flaw in the driver door panel. Previous owner cut an 'oval shape' in it for something. Not horrible, but pointing out the flaws. I have New correct PMD centercaps, and other parts for the incidentals (. Car is completely respectable and driveable as-is. Its a great cruiser and car show contestant. Being a Custom S, it gets plenty of attention as nobody knows what it is or has heard of them. I love the car and the attention it gets, just not enough time to enjoy it and kid is going off to school in September, and could use the money more than the car at this point. I do not expect to get the $17k I have invested into the car, but would like to get a reasonable price for it. Although it still needs a couple things, its a good, solid, honest, matching number car which should increase in value. If you can't afford a $40K GTO, this may be the car for you as they are so close. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. Feel free to come and look at and drive the car in person. I will tell you as much as I know about it (good or bad). Call or email for more info. This is a car that you can just get in and drive and enjoy! Ken 732-278-6303 |

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine 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.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending 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.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
