Vehicle came out of Missouri, supposedly purchased new out of Frank Dreier Pontiac-Cadillac out of Flat River, MO. It has underwent a body on restoration within the last 10 or so years, and has been meticulously redone by previous owner to a GREAT DRIVER. 

Some time in the 1980s this car had a state assigned VIN put on it as far as we can determine due to registration issues. I have obtained certified documents from a Secretary of State record check to prove this fact. The Missouri DMV shows no record of the original VIN ever being titled anywhere so there is not another one of this car out there floating around from our research. I have included pictures of these documents at the end of the webpage and they are all to be supplied to the buyer. This assigned vin was attached when these cars had very little value so it was obviously done without any future collector interest in mind or to make the car into something it wasn't. We were able to find a full vin on the block and data on the cowl for authentication purposes. Every date code we have found on this car from the block to the ring gear and the axle, to the windshield wiper motor and cowl tag coincides with the PHS report. At the direction of Pontiac Historic Services we used the stamped VIN numbers on other areas of the car for authentication.

This car passed a Missouri State ID check with flying colors which is State Law required by the Highway Patrol when a vehicle is brought into the state when we titled it , it was clearly marked as a GTO on the title, and has been insured with a major collector car insurer as a 1969 GTO Judge for the full NADA value of $147,000.00 with the blessings of their appraiser. It has features that are GTO only specific like it's original quarter panels with the GTO side markers and the"242" car data plate matching the VIN and PHS - all providing evidence that this car is and always has been a true 242 GTO.

The body on this car is very solid and was solid before we did any restoration work on it. 
This car has all its original floors and trunk that are very solid for it's age. It has original sheetmetal including rear quarters - the rear quarters were repaired with lower repair panels There are no other aftermarket body panels. Even the rear inner quarters and wheel houses are original and they attach with smooth seams to the new patch panels - this car is not perfect, but it is very nice in these respects

All of the original frame and suspension bushings are still in place and you can clearly read the part numbers on the frame bushings - I do have pics of this in the photos showing the bodyshop scenes.

The doors hang nicely with good gaps and they shut very well. All new rubber around the doors and trunk, window rubber is original and worn, however I have brand new pieces that come with the car - it will be up to the buyer to install them. 

All of the original body lines are present in this car. The subtle bullet shapes in the doors and rear quarter panels are there. The panels are straight and not wavy like many I see up for sale. The cokebottle body shape on these cars is one of my favorites and deserves to look correct.

The rear inner wheel houses are original and are firmly attached with smooth edges when you run your fingers around the inside of the wheel arches, the body panels all sound hollow like they should when you tap on them, the bottoms of the doors are perfect and very clean around the drain holes. The original rubber plugs and drains are still in place in the inner rear quarter drops.

Under the hood lies a stock 400ci motor "XN" code that fires right up, sounds great, has excellent compression and power and fires on all 8 cylinders. Vehicle will ALSO come with PHS DOCUMENTED "YZ" coded 400ci/360hp RAM AIR III engine as well (NOT INSTALLED IN THE CAR). LOTS of additional pictures can be found at this link: http://www.webeautos.com/detail-1969-pontiac-gto-for_sale-used-10037476.html

This engine is a YZ code Ram Air III with the original VIN stamped on the block with the correct casting date for the car, with earlier dated 16 heads, and correct date coded intake, full windage tray, and center drain oil pan is included with the sale.

This is the correct 4 bolt main drilled 9790071 block with 2 bolt caps which is 100% correct for this car - it has never been bored or machined - May of 1969 dated casting for a June of 1969 car

The crankshaft appears to be a Ram Air IV crank, but was in the bottom end that appeared to have never been opened up. It is a 9794054 partially cast, partially stamped number Nodular N marked Central Foundries Division unit with an early 1969 Julian code - it is standard sized and not damaged or worn and had GM factory bearings on the mains on rods when we disassembled.

Mechanically it fires right up and sounds great. Transmission is solid and shifts good through all the gears and has been COMPLETELY REBUILT. Brakes have been checked and adjusted and stop very well without any issues. Car feels great, handles the road nicely, sounds great and is very responsive with virtually NO play in the steering wheel.

Interior is all stock as you'll see in the pictures. EVERYTHING IS NEW (seat covers, seat foam, seat backs, door panels, armrests, rear package tray, dash pad). Headliner in the car has a few small holes (NEW one included, not yet installed). Carpet is presentable. Steering wheel is very nice. Overall a beautifully presentable interior for a high-end driver.

Rear bumper and rest of the chrome is VERY NICE. Outside mirror and rear taillight bezels are original and pitted and should be replaced, other than that, everything else is great.

The old girl is NOT perfect by any means of course so please keep that in mind when bidding. Paint is overall EXCELLENT and shows very nicely but it is not show quality. If you look really close you'll see some very minor imperfections here and there and there is a little bit of filler by lower quarters where the patch panels were installed and in front of the rear wheels. Front bumper fit is ok but could be better (as is the case with most endura bumpers). A/C is all there and hooked up but has not been serviced for use yet. Not working: radio (not hooked up, missing antenna), perhaps a bulb or two may need replacing where needed. 

I am sure there are several other things I am forgetting at the moment, so overall she is not perfect and to do it justice should be gently restored to your liking, or you can just drive it as is. Please note, I cannot remember every single issue with the car, nor do I know everything wrong with it, as it is after all nearly 50 years old so keep that in mind.

If you just want a GORGEOUS LOOKING AND SUPER FUN DRIVER that runs/drives good, then this is the car for you. I ENCOURAGE ANYONE BIDDING OR SERIOUSLY INTERESTED TO COME LOOK AT IT IN PERSON. I WILL BE GLAD TO SHOW IT TO YOU TOP TO BOTTOM SO YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE GETTING INTO.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Pontiac 6000 LE Safari Wagon

Wed, May 27 2020

The Detroit station wagon was fast losing sales to minivans and trucks as the decade of the 1980s progressed, but Pontiac shoppers still had plenty of choices as late as the 1988 model year. A visit to a Pontiac dealership in 1988 would have presented you with three sizes of wagon, from the little Sunbird through the midsize 6000 and up to the mighty Parisienne-based Safari. Today's Junkyard Gem is a luxed-up 6000 LE, complete with "wood" paneling, found in a car graveyard in Fargo, North Dakota. Confusingly, the "Safari" name in 1988 was used by Pontiac to designate both a specific model — the wagon version of the Parisienne/Bonneville— and as the traditional Pontiac designation for a station wagon. That meant that the wagon we're looking at now was a Safari but not the Safari in the 1988 Pontiac universe. The 6000 lived on the GM A-Body platform, as the Pontiac-badged version of the Chevrolet Celebrity. Production ran from the 1982 through 1991 model years, with the A-Body Buick Century surviving all the way through 1996. The LE trim level came between the base 6000 and the gloriously complex 6000 STE (which wasn't available in wagon form, sadly). I visited this yard in Fargo after judging at the Minneapolis 500 24 Hours of Lemons in Brainerd, Minnesota, last fall. Up to that point, I had visited 47 of the Lower 48 United States, with just North Dakota remaining, so I made a point of doing a Fargo detour in order to check that state off my list. I'm pleased that I found such a good example of the 1982-1996 GM A-Body in this yard, because the most famous of all the A-Bodies is the 1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera driven to Brainerd by the inept Fargo-based kidnappers in the film "Fargo." This Minnesota-plated 6000 had some rust, but just negligible levels by Upper Midwestern standards on a 31-year-old car. The interior looked very good, with the original owner's manual still inside. The 6000 LE boasted "redesigned contoured seats and London/Empress fabric," which sounds pretty swanky. Something less swanky lives under the hood: an Iron Duke 2.5-liter pushrod four-cylinder engine, known as the Tech 4 by 1988. The Iron Duke was, at heart, one cylinder bank of the not-quite-renowned Pontiac 301-cubic-inch V8; while fairly rugged, the Duke ran rough (typical of large-displacement straight-four engines) and made just 98 horsepower in this application. Pontiac offered a couple of optional V6s in the 6000 in 1988, but no Quad 4.

Pontiac could be a phoenix rising from the ashes

Tue, Apr 18 2017

Of the deceased American car companies from the past 50 years such as Hummer, Mercury, Oldsmobile, Plymouth and Saturn, I believe the most worthy resurrection would be Pontiac. After all, it's no longer politically correct to drive an ex-military vehicle with single-digit gas mileage, nor do Millennials and Gen-Xers desire AARP-associated nameplates such as Mercury or Oldsmobile. Pontiac was originally founded in 1893 by Albert G. North and Harry G. Hamilton as the Pontiac Buggy Company, due to their location in Pontiac, Michigan. But as the early 1900s automotive revolution took off, they shifted their focus from horse-drawn carriages to motorized transportation. Taking a cue from Oakland County where they were based, they rebranded their organization as the Oakland Motor Company. Within a couple years, sales of Oakland cars were so good that it caught the attention of General Motors and they bought the company. In 1926, GM premiered the first Pontiac and its name drew inspiration from the legendary Native American War Chief, who was famous for the Battle of Bloody Run and opposition of British forces. His likeness was used in early promotional materials as well as the vehicle's emblem which was referred to simply as the "Indian Head". In 1956, the outdated emblem was replaced with a new, sleeker logo that resembled a red arrow head. It was known as "The Dart" and featured a singular star in the center which may have been a nod to Pontiac's successful Star Chief model. The 1960s saw the introduction of several popular models such as the GTO and the Firebird. The GTO was initially offered as an option package on the 1964 Tempest, and the name was the brainchild of John Delorean, who would later go on to form his own eponymous automobile company. The Firebird debuted in 1967 as a pony-car foil to Ford's award-winning Mustang. Although mechanically similar to Chevrolet's Camaro, the Firebird boasted a distinct sheetmetal nose and tail to help visually distinguish it. The 1980s were another adventurous time for Pontiac, and GM took advantage of the sales momentum by running a successful ad campaign. It proclaimed "We Build Excitement" and highlighted an arrangement with musicians Daryl Hall and John Oats. The fiery Fiero was a home-run for Pontiac and it was introduced in 1983 as an '84 model. Not only was it the first U.S. produced mid-engine sports coupe, but it also utilized lightweight, dent-resistant body panels.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

Depending 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.
