Can't be many of these ever made with these options------that is , no options, known as a "Delete" car. I'm told by the previous owner this car is original with it's Super Duty parts. It has correct numbers on the castings, beyond that I'm not sure how to document originality for a 61. FWIW the previous owner seemed to know a great deal about Super Duty cars, as well as having photos of himself with a variety of other notorious Pontiac SD lovers. To the best I can tell this is pretty much an original car. It is way cool.

Super Duty 389 w'solid lifters, tri power with it's unique air cleaner (no snorkels w'solid lifters). Correct sump, cast iron exhaust headers, intake manifold, carbs, harmonic balancer, heads, block, upper water neck, dist, etc. Only mod I can think of is an electric fuel pump was fitted. Also have separate air filters for show.

4 speed.

Engine fires up easily and runs great with nice oil pressure. Very docile just running on the center carb. Press the other two into action and things get busy. With the full exhaust hooked up it is actually very quiet. Pull the plugs and it ain't!

Clutch feels good. Brakes stop well (within reason) and car drives very nice. No issues except passenger side exhaust rubs the shock once in awhile. I'll try to get that tweaked.

Beautiful body, solid original floors, just what you dream of finding. It was a California car and has never been rusted. At present it has one small blister on the driver's door, it is still a good rock solid car. See photos. Original interior in very nice shape. Some patina, yes, but pretty remarkable, in my opinion, for being original. It has an added oil pressure and water temp gauge.

Glass is all good.

Trim is all good. Again, some patina, but it looks great.

Paint is over 30 years old but still looks pretty darn nice with a bit of wax. I'd guess it's "Good Driver" level. I love the overall even patina of this car. Just so nice. I see no signs of previous rust repair.

Car comes with a second set of rear wheels with Goodyear Blue Streak Dragway Stock tires. Also a set of narrow front tires. Yes, it was a drag car in it's early life. Previous owner showed me a photo of it lettered up, wish I'd gotten a copy.

I'm somewhat new to Pontiac Super Duties, and info is kinda scarce, but I do have some good reference material. I'm trying to get up to speed here. I'll answer questions best I can. comments welcome.

Thanks for looking!

Burt Reynolds' personal 1977 Trans-Am from Smokey And The Bandit for sale

Fri, Dec 5 2014

Smokey and the Bandit is one of those quintessential 1970s car movies with insane premises but tons of fun. After all, the basic plot of the film is about distracting the police to transport cases of Coors beer cross country. While Burt Reynolds receives top billing, the real star is definitely his black Pontiac Trans-Am. Now, there's a chance to posses one of these muscle machines actually owned by Reynolds, and it's already proving quite popular. The car is a '77 Trans-Am with the famous, gold screaming chicken proudly on the hood. However, while this is a piece of Reynolds memorabilia, it's not really part of cinematic history. According to the listing, this example was used as a promotional vehicle and then given to Reynolds with a title showing him as a previous owner for proof. Still, there's 400-cubic-inch (6.55-liter) V8 under the hood with a 4-barrel carburetor and an automatic transmission. A plaque inside the driver's door proclaims the car as a "1977 Pontiac Trans Am Owned By Burt Reynolds," and there's a Bandit logo on the door. This is just one lot of Julien Auction's sale of Reynolds memorabilia on December 11 and 12 at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, NV. Bidding is already running online, and the Trans-Am is up to $130,000, as of this writing. For the true Reynolds fanatic, the auction also lists the motorized stagecoach from his wedding to Loni Anderson. It rides built on an International Harvester Scout frame with an interior reportedly from Dolly Parton.

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.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon

Tue, Aug 9 2016

During the 1960s and 1970s, station wagons based on full-sized Detroit sedans were the default family haulers, and many of those Kingswood Estates and Country Squires and Ambassadors came with unapologetically phony woodgrain-printed exterior paneling and trim. By the late 1980s, however, few were snapping up such wagons, making this '87 Safari that I spotted in a Denver yard an interesting find. Power for this wagon came from a 307-cubic-inch Oldsmobile V8 making 140 horsepower. General Motors used this engine in Buicks, Oldsmobiles, Chevrolets, Pontiacs, and Cadillacs, finally discontinuing production for the 1990 model year. Was the "wood" convincing, even when new? Of course not, but it was a cherished American tradition. Related Video: Featured Gallery 1987 Pontiac Safari station wagon in Colorado junkyard View 18 Photos Auto News Pontiac station wagon
