1964 Pontiac Grand Prix on 2040-cars
San Francisco, California, United States
|
Here is a beautiful, rust-free Grand Prix that runs and drives exactly as it should. I am the third owner of this car. I bought it in 1983 and since then it has never spent a night outside, nor has it been wet. I have all receipts and maintenance records for the period I've owned it. It is a California black plate car; I was told it was bought new in Oakland. It has the original 303 HP 389 V8 with four-barrel carb (rated at 425 lbs. torque), factory dual exhaust, a set of excellent eight-lug wheels, and power brakes and steering. It has the correct B.F. Goodrich 850-14 tires. It was repainted in the original Aquamarine. The paint has some blemishes and nicks, and there is a scratch behind the right rear wheel. The engine has been completely rebuilt and has approximately 30,300 miles. The Roto Hydramatic operates perfectly and does not leak. The brakes and battery were replaced last September. I have the owner's manual and shop manuals.
The white interior and headliner are original, with the driver's seat showing a bit of wear. The carpet is also original and worn. The dash pad and steering wheel have no cracks because the car was never left in the sun, and the package shelf and rear speaker look like new. All gauges, including the manifold pressure gauge, work, as do the AM radio and trunk light. The wood on the dash and steering wheel look great, and there are four original T3 headlights. The door panels and glass are in good shape. The window rubber on the left door is worn and the window rattles a little if it's part way down. The heater core is missing, lost years ago by a radiator shop. I never had occasion to use the heater, so I didn't replace it. Take a look at the photos and you'll see (or remember) why these cars were so popular back in 1964. If you have questions, please call me: Robert, 415-242-9404. Winner must provide a $500.00 deposit within 48 hours of winning bid. The balance must be provided by certified bank check or cash within seven days of winning bid. Title will be transferred once funds clear my bank. |

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
