You know when you have a cool collector car and you go down the road on a nice warm day and people yell out to you, give you a little honk and give you the thumbs up...well my other cars get that, but let me tell you, this gets the f---in fist in the air with a rebel yell!! I am not exaggerating!! FFF-yeah, with a clenched fist as they see me a mile down the road. This is THE gentleman's muscle car! Here is an investment grade 1969 GTO with the following: Built at the Pontiac plant on the 3rd week of May 1969. Paint Correct code 52 upper and lower matador red Paint, chrome, glass, badging, excellent Endura front bumper, rear chrome bumper excellent Hood lines up nice, opens and closes nice, closes evenly (in pic I didn't have it shut tightly) Doors open and shut as they should Trunk pans and floor pans are 'original' and rust free.

Its a pain but worth it! Starts, runs, drives and shifts like a new 1969 GTO should!! Everything works, even the emergency brake As a collector, owner of several classics and a car enthusiast I would rate the car overall a 9. Pictures look grainy. I assure you this finish looks like glass! As of today I have had it out 2 times and about an hour- 2 hours each, since the detail. Approximately 25 miles since. Car is capable of driving across the country without issue, but who in their right mind would do such a thing?? Simply immaculate!! 1)1969 Matador Red GTO; Barrett-Jackson (I know; here we go) had one sold with a cordova top 1-2 years ago for $52,800 (date code correct engine) 2)1969 Matador Red GTO sold from a dealer in Ohio (red interior) ask $49,995, I believe sold for around $45,000 3)1969 Matador red GTO asking $49,983 on Hemmings (a 3 speed) ALL great cars, but your chance to get it for less right here. As of July 2014, Nada.com book value is AVG $39,360 HIGH $68,040 with 4 speed and rally wheels option As of July 2014 hagerty.com book value is #2 condition $52,140 (with 4 speed), #1 condition $70,180. I believe $50k is more of a reasonable estimate comparing to other cars in the current market. This car is certainly WAY above average condition. COME OUT AND SEE!!! Sorry no joy rides. Serious only!! I currently have $50,000 agreed value insurance coverage from Hagerty for only $300 a year!! I may have missed something so I may 'add' a revision. Once a bid is placed, a revision can only be added, so you will see exactly what is added. Any questions, just ask. I reserve the right to sell locally. I will NOT stop the auction once reserve is met, regardless. I strongly suggest you see this in person...the cliche' of all cliche's, pictures do it no justice. IT is so true!! MUST SEE in person. It will blow you away!!! To be listed only once, so if you miss out, you can contact me post auction. ((I will NOT send a second chance offer, however I may contact you after the auction ends)) If you are the winning bidder and you fly or drive to view the GTO 'BEFORE' it leaves my possession, I will give you your deposit back if your are totally unhappy!!

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
Junkyard Gem: 1987 Pontiac Safari Station Wagon
Tue, Aug 9 2016During 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
Why Pontiac should come back and how it can be relevant again
Mon, Apr 17 2017When I was a kid growing up in Metro Detroit, our family was always entwined in the General Motors empire. My dad and some of our relatives worked for GM in various capacities, and we had our fair share of Chevrolet, GMC, and even Buick products in our humble driveway. However, it was my Uncle Ed that always had a vehicle from the one GM brand that always appealed to me the most: Pontiac. Seeing him pull up in his Pontiac 6000 and later the '90s era Grand Prix sedan that replaced it was always an exciting occasion, and both of these models also reflected the playful spirit that once defined the Pontiac brand. Back when Pontiac first got its performance groove on in the '60s, names such as GTO, Firebird, as well as Bonneville became iconic nameplates in the broader muscle car era. The '80s saw Pontiac lose some of its styling heritage, but also try new things at the same time including turbocharging as well as the mid-engine sports car with the flawed but still sleek Pontiac Fiero. When the Pontiac brand was shuttered in 2009, it was a mere few years after I earned my drivers license, and also when Pontiac was just beginning to regain some of its lost luster. Granted cookie cutter efforts like the Pontiac G3, (Chevrolet Aveo) G5, (Chevrolet Cobalt) and G6 (Chevrolet Malibu) certainly did not help matters during Pontiac's final years on the market, but two models in particular offered a compelling glimpse into what could've been for the storied brand. The first was the Pontiac Solstice roadster/coupe. Originally introduced as a concept back in 2004, and championed by everyone's fighter jet flying auto executive Bob Lutz, the Solstice was designed to be a serious competitor to the Mazda Miata, and while its interior ergonomics were flawed and the top solution not ideal. It proved to be a fun little car to drive, and also a sales success for Pontiac with initial demand exceeding expectations.This was especially due to its lineup of engines with the 2.0 liter LHU turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 260 horsepower in GXP variants. The second and (inarguably my favorite Pontiac model) was the Pontiac G8 sedan. Originating in Australia as the Holden Commodore VE, the G8 was designed to rectify the multitude of sins created by the last generation Bonneville. Front wheel drive was pitched in favor of rear wheel drive, and for the first time in a long time interior ergonomics and cladding free exterior styling were key building blocks for success.
