This auction is the first time this car has been offered for sale from the original owner,my wife. She ordered this car in early 1969 from Avery Pontiac,Columbus Ohio with a 350 engine a 4 speed transmission with positraction with a black vinyl top over silver, It was a beautifull car when it was new with its redline wide ovals. She never allowed anyone to smoke in the car in the 10 years she had it on the road and only a couple passengers if any ever rode in the back seat. The car was never hit or damged in any way and always garaged but yet the silver paint of that era failed within 5 years or so,I think the silver was repainted by a dealership in 1975 and promised not to repeat dulling,it did. In the summer of 1979 with 68,500 miles on itI drove it into the garage you see in the pictures, shut it off and that was it. I always intended to keep it running and cosmetically restore it but time has passed quickly and it is not going to happen. We pushed it out of the garage to clean the dust off it and take some pictures,couple of the tires on the original rally wheels were rotted so I put the steel rims on it to be able to move it. There was no condition issues mechanically when the car was garaged and the garage is under our house and somewhat heated and dry. The only issues bodywise on the car then and today is 4 very small rust issues,both front fenders at the bottom would require a proper patch,no way would they need replaced as the rear fender well area,rust on the lip. The bottom of the car is very solid,never undercoated to hold moisture, and shows mostly silver paint that I can see with a mirror,same with the trunk floor. The original black vinyl top is excellent and in my opinion should never be replaced ,same goes for the interior which would entail mostly just cleaning,from the black headliner to the black carpeting,excellent condition. I believe it still has gas in the tank which I am sure is now varnish and no atempt should be made to get car running without going through fuel system which is up to the buyer. I cannot guarantee engine or rings are not stuck even with the dry storage,years ago I removed the plugs and poured in a heavy amount of Kroil and cranked engine over but must have forgot to replace plugs as they are missing.This would be an excellent and solid car to easily restore. Thanks for looking,bid to own.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
Distracted driver crosses center line and hits police car
Wed, Apr 6 2016Attentive driving and quick reflexes saved the life of a police officer in Hudson, WI, when an oncoming driver drifted into the officer's lane and struck his cruiser. According to KMSP, the officer was patrolling along a busy road through Hudson on March 31 when the crash occurred. Dash cam video from the patrol car which was released to local media shows the dramatic collision unfold. As the officer came around a mild left-hand curve, a white, 90s-era Pontiac Grand Am continued straight through the curve, across the center line, and directly into the officer's path. The officer was able to avoid a head-on collision, but the Pontiac still struck the driver's side of the patrol car. "Both the officer and the other driver are ok, however, this accident could have been much, much worse," said a Hudson Police Department official on the department's Facebook page. "So please remember to pay attention to your driving at all times when behind the wheel." Minnesota's Department of Public Safety estimates that one in every four crashes in the State of Minnesota are caused by distracted drivers. DPS believes that the actual number may be higher, but police often have difficulty proving distracted driving as the cause of a crash. Government/Legal Pontiac Driving Safety Coupe Police/Emergency
Florida man runs down bikers in traffic
Tue, May 31 2016A Florida biker and his passenger got a nasty surprise when a road rage incident turned ugly on Monday. According to WTSP, Joe Calderazzo was returning from a Veterans Memorial Day motorcycle rally around 5:30 pm with a group of fellow riders. During their ride, the group got entangled with an overly aggressive driver in a Pontiac. Abe Garcia of Tampa watched the silver Pontiac attempt to run the pack of bikers off the road, which started the altercation. The bikers caught up to the Pontiac in stopped traffic, and a shouting match ensued between the bikers and the Pontiac driver. At this point, Garcia pulled out his phone and started recording. The exchange escalated, and suddenly the Pontiac driver floored it, turned hard to the right, and ran over Calderazzo's Harley. The Pontiac mangled the Harley and knocked Calderazzo and his passenger to the ground. The Pontiac then fled the scene. WTSP spoke to Calderazzo as he was on his way to the hospital. "I thought the guy was trying to kill us obviously," said Calderazzo. "You know you don't know what's going through your mind. Is he going to put the car in reverse? Is he going to turn around? Is he going to stop and pull out a gun? You don't know what's going on." The Pontiac driver, a serial traffic offender named Robert Paul Vance, was picked up by police soon after the incident. He is charged with hit-and-run, a moving traffic violation, and aggravated battery.
