DRIVELINE:

This Pontiac retains it's original driveline with 95983 miles on it. The original 4-barrel intake was replaced with a 2-barrel somewhere along the line. However a four barrel intake, carburetor, and air cleaner go with the car. The transmission is a 3-Speed manual with code A # 3748868 with a date code of L-12-12. Cylinder heads have a date code of L-17-2 Engine block is stamped 02B. Differential is a 3:23 posi-traction unit with Safe-T-Track differential tag still on it. Car runs drives and stops great. Some oil residue on the transmission crossmember indicates there are probably a few oil drips here and there but again, this is a 95000 mile original drivetrain in a 51 year old car. Engine has just been serviced with a fresh oil and filter change, new spark plugs, new air filter, new points and condensor, carburetor tuning and dwell set. The chassis has just been lubed. The motor runs absolutely fantastic.

UNDERSIDE:

Underside inspection reveals car was saved from major rust issues due to undercoating when new. Further inspection reveals a fresh rebuilt front suspension with new A-frame bushings, ball joints, shocks and springs.

BODY:

Body is painted with the original Code L Marimba Red and is near perfect with only a few minor touch-ups. Bumpers appear to have been replated. Glass is all perfect. Windshield is tinted. This car was obviously garage kept.

INTERIOR:

Interior is beautiful with replacement seat covers and carpet. Padded dash is excellent. Oil pressure and temperature gauges have been added to original dash. Wipers, heater, and radio are all working. Headlights, tail lights, stop lights, turn signals and interior lights are all working. Back up lights do not work. Car is equipped with factory optional original seat belts.

NOTE:

In my photo assortment you will see that I put a set of original 1960's Mickey Thompson 5-spoke mag wheels on the front and a set of Radir 775-15 Cheater Slicks on the rear to show how the car would look in Drag Racing Trim for potential buyers who may have a Super Duty Clone in mind. This wheel and tire package will ONLY be included with the car at the buy it now price. If the car is sold for anything less than buy it now price then the additional tire and wheel package will be available for a separate additional purchase price. The same applies for the California 1963 Black Tag

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob 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.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How 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?
