Hello all,  Here is a great example of a super rare Pontiac. This Star Chief coupe is a great driver and is ready for a new owner to enjoy now. She is matching numbers and mostly all original with just maintenance and upkeep being preformed as needed through out her life. A vast stack of records and receipts are included chronicling her 57 year existence. On to the car!   The 347 engine and auto tranny preform amazing and really move this car down the road. BOTH have been rebuilt with RECEIPTS to verify the work preformed. She idles nicely and the exhaust puts out a great sound when you put your foot into it, not too loud, but not to quiet either. She runs down the highway great with plenty of power. No smoke or strange noises from the engine or tranny with both performing as they should. She does like to warm up for a couple of minutes before setting out. The original carb is included and has been rebuilt, has a edelbrock on her now that works great. New original fuel pump is also included, running an electric pump. These basic upgrades really help to make the car preform more reliably, but can be switched back if need be.   The body and undercarriage on this car is as rust free as one could hope for, even with factory markings on the frame. The previous owner stated that this is an original brown car, and a quite unusual color combo with the blue on white interior, but it works and is super 50's. The car was repainted some time ago and is showing rock chips,scratches etc, but still looks good from a couple feet. This was the one thing that was planed to do, was a repaint, just to take the car to the next level. Paint is ok for a driver though. The biggest thing i can stress is how rust free this car appears to be with no previous rust repair being done that i have found. There is a couple minor dings etc, but nothing major.Stainless is mostly in great shape, chrome is all original and some is showing minor wear etc from being almost 60 years old.   The interior shows very nice and is very functional just the way it is. Seats are in great shape, headliner is beautiful, most of the chrome and stainless on the inside is in great shape. Dash is uncut, factory radio hole is just covered up is all, but factory radio is included and was rebuilt. Newer cd player is in glovebox. The fuel gauge is intermittent and will need attention. Everything else works! even the lights come on when you open the doors.   All in all, This is a great example of a rare pontiac in driver form with nothing being needed to take her out on a cruise. The new owner can preform various restoration or beautifying procedures as they see fit. This is not a restored show car or trailer queen, but a great driver quality car that hasn't been affected like so many by rust issues. I am helping a buddy sell the car who sadly cannot afford to keep it after recently purchasing her. There is a buy it now in mind, but due to scammers who just hit the button please contact me for more info. If you are serious about the car feel free to give a call at 425-802-8682 to discuss further. I reserve the right to sell the car locally, so good luck to everyone and happy bidding.  photo DSC03285_zpsca939885.jpg photo DSC03286_zps6b122a14.jpg photo DSC03287_zps96b42ac5.jpg photo DSC03288_zpsa2a4b90b.jpg photo DSC03289_zps4ca231ad.jpg photo DSC03290_zps72680505.jpg photo DSC03291_zps8f283827.jpg photo DSC03292_zpsb0b2d832.jpg photo DSC03293_zpsc58a75ae.jpg photo DSC03294_zps17844f27.jpg photo DSC03295_zps16dda21a.jpg photo DSC03296_zps6f7599d3.jpg photo DSC03297_zps1a4baae7.jpg photo DSC03298_zpsd32e4891.jpg photo DSC03299_zpsc3c94e11.jpg photo DSC03300_zpsca1d775f.jpg photo DSC03301_zps256d09d0.jpg photo DSC03302_zpsc911d62a.jpg photo DSC03303_zpsb0d32fe6.jpg photo DSC03304_zpsc4363bca.jpg photo DSC03306_zpscc33fb6f.jpg photo DSC03307_zps917e4d4a.jpg photo DSC03308_zps08c7b50c.jpg photo DSC03309_zpsafc3c6b3.jpg photo DSC03310_zps92ffdd9d.jpg photo DSC03311_zps7a9feeba.jpg photo DSC03312_zpsf2e22796.jpg photo DSC03313_zpse2e00b21.jpg photo DSC03314_zps72a47f05.jpg photo DSC03315_zps565af94b.jpg photo DSC03316_zps87aa5eeb.jpg photo DSC03317_zps97fabb53.jpg photo DSC03318_zpsac187de8.jpg photo DSC03319_zpsd96c39a6.jpg photo DSC03321_zps338fc6a3.jpg photo DSC03322_zpsb5215842.jpg photo DSC03323_zps23f64e98.jpg photo DSC03324_zpsfa342727.jpg photo DSC03325_zps9109025b.jpg photo DSC03327_zps855a26d0.jpg photo DSC03328_zps3e3fa522.jpg photo DSC03329_zps2622fae1.jpg photo DSC03330_zps63803406.jpg photo DSC03331_zpsd1a735d7.jpg photo DSC03333_zps94b44f98.jpg photo DSC03334_zpsf0aab539.jpg photo DSC03336_zpsb98dfc39.jpg photo DSC03337_zps641add03.jpg photo DSC03338_zps5a8cd333.jpg photo DSC03340_zps3d229621.jpg photo DSC03341_zpsf6a75eee.jpg photo DSC03343_zpsd63c030f.jpg photo DSC03344_zpsd1187a03.jpg photo DSC03345_zps701260e0.jpg photo DSC03346_zps032eb9e5.jpg photo DSC03347_zpsda96c5c1.jpg photo DSC03348_zps57af63d3.jpg photo DSC03349_zps3d7c8e5a.jpg photo DSC03351_zpsd8c19f9d.jpg photo DSC03353_zps25f818f9.jpg photo DSC03356_zps00b1c270.jpg photo DSC03357_zpsa84b2055.jpg photo DSC03358_zps5e23fad1.jpg photo DSC03359_zpsc0d8e6c9.jpg photo DSC03361_zpsebd92d38.jpg photo DSC03362_zpsa0615fbe.jpg photo DSC03363_zps0d40602d.jpg photo DSC03364_zps7ebfa3bf.jpg photo DSC03365_zpse014d74d.jpg photo DSC03366_zps8cdd4347.jpg photo DSC03369_zpsf4debbc4.jpg photo DSC03371_zpsd1425850.jpg photo DSC03374_zpsb0a305e7.jpg photo DSC03375_zps1df66948.jpg photo DSC03377_zpsa3280de4.jpg

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
