Pontiac Grand Am Coupe 1979 - 455! Extremely Rare Professionally Done on 2040-cars

1979 Pontiac Grand Am Coupe 455/4 bbl You’re looking at a very rare Pontiac Grand Am Coupe only 4021 of these were made in 1979. And what’s rarest of all is it has a 455 in the engine bay! If the factory would have built a car like this, this would be it. This is a true fast, sleeper. This car is ready to rock and roll for cruise nights this summer or the drag strip. A true Muscle Rod that looks great and gets loads of attention. You can get in it and drive it now! This car is a real cool sleeper… At last year’s dream cruise this car got rave reviews from the audience as it cruised down Woodward Avenue. It has a 455 V8, .030 over, which makes it a 462 Cu in. ? torque monster (replacing the factory 301). It was professionally rebuilt (I have some of the receipts, I did not do the rebuild). The Pontiac engine code is confirmed to be a YY with the big value 6X heads. All true Muscle Rod go-fast parts. The engine is matched to a turbo 350 transmission with a shift kit. You lay rubber in second gear, as you nail it. Driving the power to the ground is the heavy-duty GM 12 bolt posi- rear end. It is fueled through an Edelbrock 1604 carb sitting atop an Edelbrock aluminum high-rise manifold. It has a brand-new professionally installed dual exhaust system. What a great rumble from this new 2.5” exhaust system, with large diameter full length headers from MAD DOG Headers. The front tires are new and the rears have good tread life, and are BFG 245x15’s. The car handles very well, nice and tight. The radiator is upgraded to a heavy duty aluminum radiator. The battery has just been replaced. The big sway bar holds the car in the corners. This Pontiac is very dependable and the car runs and drives is you would expect from a great cruiser or drag/street racer. Take on the Power Tour this year and be one of the very rare people with the Pontiac version of the Malibu. Everything works on this car as it should, including the AC. There is some surface rust underneath the trim around the rear quarter windows and, but there is no rust through anywhere! There is some bubbling on the passenger side rear quarter about the size of a quarter. Nothing major. I believe the rust proofing job preserved this car. The undercarriage of this car is extremely clean. The interior was redone last summer (2013) with new painted trim ( Carmine Red), new headliner and carpet. Everything works on this car, just like from the factory! The interior is all factory original except for an aftermarket period radio. The seats look great ( driver seat needs minor stitching) and the dash is perfect, no cracks rips or tears. The car comes with some original service manuals and some paperwork, and service records, which date back to the mid-1990s. This is an awesome Muscle Rod YOU must see to appreciate. I highly recommend you come and take a look at this car and you will fall in love with it. You will not be disappointed. This car is ready for cruising or the drag strip, or both… A whole lot of fun in store for the purchaser of this rare Pontiac… GRRRRRRRRRR, it just needs a tiger tail.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?
Wed, 07 Oct 2009 DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.
STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you
Thu, 21 Feb 2013As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
