Engine to my knowledge is bone stock except someone over the years has replaced the intake manifold with an Edelbrock and added Hedman Headers without any cutting off the frame or braces etc. The engine sounds and runs excellent, no smoking and the transmission shifts excellent through the gears up and down 4 speed H pattern. New Exhaust has been added with dual Magnaflow mufflers as seen in the pics. The bad News: Car does have rust in the following areas: Right Quarter Panel, Right Gutter Trunk Side, Right/Left Front and Rear Floor sections and battery tray....I have an estimate from a local classic car restoration shop for repairs totaling $2,185.00 for labor plus parts. Most all parts can be purchased from Ecklers or Classic Industries Parts and Accessories. The Interior needs re-done including the headliner with an estimate of $3,000.00 for new seat covers, floor carpet and headliner, door package...Labor only plus parts. A lot of these prices can vary from shop to shop and depending on how much you can do yourself. Just had new Interstate Battery installed. Original stock wheels are in great shape with approx. 80% rubber left on Raised White Letter Grand Am Radial GT's 235/60R15 tires. All glass is in great shape and windows roll up and down good with doors opening and closing properly. A/C Compressor is disconnected but appears the compressor is working ok, just needing new belt and probably R134 freon. All interior gauges and lights work except the clock on dash. Brakes reportedly are in great shape, no squeaking and stops properly with good compression on brake pedal. Also have original 4 speed Shifter Handle, Currently has Hurst T-handle on shifter. |

Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
