1969 Pontiac Custom S Convertible (like Gto) on 2040-cars
Brick, New Jersey, United States
|
1969 Pontiac Custom S Convertible. A couple steps below a GTO, but nobody's heard of a Custom S as it was only produced for 1 year (1969). Only 2379 Convertibles were made. It is a rare car. It is also NUMBER MATCHING which helps the value of the car. This car has the 265 hp motor which has been upgraded with a 4 bbl carb and manifold to match the optional 330 hp motor offered. Automatic transmission, PS, PB (front disk), PW, Power Top, Power Antenna, Factory AC (have parts, not on car), Electronic Ignition. Original bench style seat with center armrest. Car runs and drives Very Good and could be a daily driver if you wanted to. Much has been spent to make it so. All New Suspension (Springs, Shocks, All Bushings, Sway Bar, Alignment), New Belts, New Carburetor, Cable, Spring, New Accelerator pedal, New Starter, New Alternator, Brakes, New Radiator Hoses and Clamps, Radiator just boiled out and pressure tested, New Thermostat, New Transmission Lines and fluid, Recent Tires, New retro Stereo (digital with ipod hookups) and kickpanel/speakers, New dash inserts and woodgrain, probably a few other things I'm forgetting. Car has GTO hood and spoiler. Body is straight. Good gaps, doors open and close as they should. Frame is good. My 'picky' mechanic said car does not appear to have been hit and solid. I think there has been a minor patch in a floor board and trunk, but all appears original. Original color was the Red/Orange but car was repainted Pontiac Silver. It looks like it was a professional job and the car was taken apart to do so. Body has a couple flaws. The seams above the trunk have some paint cracking and the area above the bumper on each side have some bubbles. No door dings or dents anywhere. Car is really straight! Convertible top is in decent shape. Before today, there were no tears. Somehow today, I developed an 1 1/2" slice on the passenger side. Minor, but still a flaw. I also have a tonno cover for when the top is down. The flaws...I couple projects still to do. The idiots lights don't work. Not a big deal as there are mechanical gauges but the gas gauge is included in the 'not working' category. I'm told it needs the printed circuit board replaced (which I have). The blower motor for heat/ac doesn't work (I have a new one too), the dash has a couple cracks, not bad (but I have a dash pad for that too) Interior is near perfect with one flaw in the driver door panel. Previous owner cut an 'oval shape' in it for something. Not horrible, but pointing out the flaws. I have New correct PMD centercaps, and other parts for the incidentals (. Car is completely respectable and driveable as-is. Its a great cruiser and car show contestant. Being a Custom S, it gets plenty of attention as nobody knows what it is or has heard of them. I love the car and the attention it gets, just not enough time to enjoy it and kid is going off to school in September, and could use the money more than the car at this point. I do not expect to get the $17k I have invested into the car, but would like to get a reasonable price for it. Although it still needs a couple things, its a good, solid, honest, matching number car which should increase in value. If you can't afford a $40K GTO, this may be the car for you as they are so close. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere. Feel free to come and look at and drive the car in person. I will tell you as much as I know about it (good or bad). Call or email for more info. This is a car that you can just get in and drive and enjoy! Ken 732-278-6303 |

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
