1974 Pontiac Grand Am - **excellent** on 2040-cars
Glenwood, Iowa, United States
|
1974 Pontiac Grand AM 400 cid / 4bbl Rochester (upgraded from the factory 4bbl) / Automatic Transmission This car has underwent a cosmetic and mechanical restoration. The body is excellent and the paint is in excellent condition with a super shine. The front seats and dash have been reupholstered and the carpet replaced. The engine has been rebuilt and a mild cam installed along with replacement of the factory dual exhaust system. The transmission has been rebuilt and a shift kit installed in. The car runs and drives excellent, all gauges work (except the clock), door hing pins have been replaced so there is no sag in the doors, tires are in good condition. There are two small scratches aproximately 3" long in the decklid near the lock that have been touched up, 2 chips on the passenger side near the top of the side rear window that were touched up (approximately the size of a pencil eraser), and only a few minor rock chips etc. There are no dents and the floors are in great condition. The car is missing the A/C compressor, lines, evaporator, and POA valve - all available from Classic Air. If the car does not sell, I will be adding the components and the price will go up accordingly. The seats and headliner are in excellent condition and the dash pad was recovered. The chrome on the rear bumper is driver quality with minor scratches and scuffs. The body is straight and the paint is in excellent condition with a fantastic shine as can be seen in the photos. There are minor imperfections that are unnoticeable unless you get within inches of the surface and catch them in the right light. I point this out as this is the type of information I want when purchasing a vehicle on-line. This is definitely an attention grabber at shows as most people have either never seen one or have never seen one in the condition this car is in. With the muscle car prices continuing to climb, the collector market is starting to look towards the later year Pontiacs as the next collectibles. You can already see the 70's Firebirds and TA's increasing, the Grand AM is a rarer vehicle with essentially the same drivetrain. Feel free to send an inspector to look over the vehicle, I will make sure we work to accommodate their schedule. I am able to store the car for an arranged period of time after the auction in a heated / air conditioned environment, and can work with you on arranging shipping. |

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.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
