This is a 1974 Pontiac GTO (Ventura) hatchback in very good condition for its age but does need restoration. This was the last year of the GTO until 2004 and was the only year that is was based on the Ventura which is basicly a Nova. This car was sold in Pasedena california and lived its whole life in California. There is almost NO rust on this car which is unheard of. I have had many of these cars and have never seen one that is in this good of shape when it comes to rust. I have pictures of the rust, they are two small places in the trunk part of the hatchback that are about the size of a quarter in each place, a small quarter size hole at the bottom of the drivers side quarter panel, and some small holes in the lower part of the hatch back. There is a picture of the right quater panel that shows some bondo but it is not covering up rust, there is a dent that someone did a terrible job of fixing. Instead of pulling the dent out, they filled it with bondo. (they did that alot back then). In the pictures of the under neath there is something that is peeling off that might look like rust in the pictures but it is not. I think it is some kind of rust proofing they used back then. When it peels off the metal underneath, it looks like the day the car was made with the black e coat under it. There is surface rust in the trunk area as well, but it is just that, surface rust, no holes. There are dents in various places, one in the front left fender at the bottom which is decent size and several other small ones. The window mouldings are missing from the pictures but ARE included. The engine is not original and acording to the numbers on the block is a 400 that runs good. It has a holley carb instead of the original quadrajet. It has a carb adapter which raises the carb and puts the shacker scoop a little too high so I would either replace the intake or go back with a quadrajet. The engine has a small cam which you can hear a little thump in the exhaust. The transmission shifts and the car goes down the road but please dont ask me if you can drive it home. It has non power drum brakes and stops good. It has the tach and the gauge package on the console, the G80 the safe t track posi traction rear end and several other special options. Every guage and tach works which I couldent believe. they never work. the shacker scoop has a peice missing from it but I am including a good one with the car. I have the PHS paperwork that shows its a real GTO and all the options. You will NOT find a 74 GTO with a body in better shape than this car. I bought it to restore as this is the same kind of car that I had in high school but I will never get around to it. I hate to see it go and but I do not have to sell it so please dont make offers. If you want one of these cars you better buy it, you will not find a better one. Thanks for looking. It may take me a little while to answer questions because I get busy a work and can only check messages late at night. A NON refundable $500.00 deposite is due within 48 hours of end of auction with the rest within 7 days. I can store the car for a couple of weeks if needed. I have may cars shipped with auto transports I found on a serch and it is amazingly simple.

Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile

Thu, Mar 26 2015

So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."

Woodward Dream Cruise Photo Gallery | Classics and American muscle

Sun, Aug 21 2022

The 2022 running of the Woodward Dream Cruise just went down, and we were there from morning to evening drinking in the sweet sights and pre-emissions exhaust fumes. Yes, it’s a little smelly on Woodward Ave. this time of year. Just like always, the Dream Cruise invites all comers to cruise their machines on Woodward from Ferndale, MI to Pontiac, MI. Everybody is invited, but the original intent of the Dream Cruise was to highlight classic American muscle cars. YouÂ’ll see plenty of those in our mega gallery above, but weÂ’ve sprinkled it with a bunch of other vehicle types, such as modern muscle and other intriguing American vehicles. Similar to years past, though, sometimes the classics arenÂ’t the most entertaining thing to look at on Woodward. ThatÂ’s why weÂ’ll have other mega galleries coming soon, highlighting the weird cars and (great) dogs of the Cruise, all the imports and exotics you can imagine and a special one for all the trucks of Woodward — perhaps even more so than in years past, the truck population on Dream Cruise day was quite high. Click through above to see all the classics you wouldÂ’ve seen had you been roadside on the day of the cruise. And if you missed this yearÂ’s event, make sure you check out what happens next year. You wonÂ’t be alone, as itÂ’s estimated that over 1 million people attend the Dream Cruise to either watch from the side of the road or to sit in the most glorious traffic jam in the world.

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Pontiac Grand Am GT 30th Anniversary Edition

Mon, May 29 2023

With the era of the 1960s-style muscle car ended by the ever-more-stringent emissions regulations, insurance costs and higher gasoline prices of the early 1970s, GM's Pontiac Division was ready with a lineup of flash-enhanced machines packed with (alleged) European-style performance and styling. Three of them were based on the midsize A Platform for 1973: the LeMans, the Grand Prix and the brand-new Grand Am. The 1973 Grand Am was cheaper than the luxed-up Grand Prix, but still had a BMW-ish interior and wild exterior styling; sales weren't great, but the 30th anniversary of this car seemed sufficiently momentous for Pontiac to create a special-edition package for its soon-to-be-axed successor. Here's one of these rare machines, spotted recently in a Denver car graveyard. The original rear-wheel-drive Grand Am was built for the 1973-1975 and 1978-1980 model years, but its similarity to the much cheaper LeMans kept sales numbers unimpressive. When the Grand Am name was revived for a Pontiac-badged compact on the front-drive N Platform in the 1985 model year, however, it became a big seller right away and stayed that way into our current century. The N-Body Grand Am was built through 2005, with platform updates for the 1992 and 1999 model years. Along the way, it was sibling to such cars as the Oldsmobile Calais, Buick Somerset, Chevrolet Beretta and Oldsmobile Alero. By 2003, though, the ground was shifting under Pontiac's feet. The iconic Firebird had been discontinued the previous year, and even the Grand Prix's days were officially numbered. Oldsmobile would be gone after 2004, and the entire Pontiac vehicle lineup would be shaken up soon after. The last year for the Grand Am (and the Sunfire) would be 2005, with the G6 taking its place. With all that going on, why not offer a 30th Anniversary package? After all, the Grand Prix got a 40th Anniversary Edition for 2002. Our reviewer described this car as "leaner, trimmer and more contemporary" at the time, but made no mention of the 30th Anniversary Edition. The VIN says this car is a top-grade GT1 sedan, with an MSRP of $22,325 (that's about $39,920 in 2023 dollars). Two engines were available in the 2003 Grand Am: a 2.2-liter Ecotec four-cylinder with 140 horsepower and a 3.4-liter pushrod V6 with either 170 or 175 horsepower. This car has the 175-horse V6, complete with "Ram Air" cold-air induction. That name goes way back in Pontiac history.
