1969 Pontiac Grand Prix "LOADED J".... I guess they "ran out of SJ's" it was "cheaper to insure a J", or some other story that makes you feel good, but any color you want to paint it, it's got the good options, which are: 428 engine, Power: Seat, Steering, Brakes, Trunk, Door Locks. A/C, Rear speaker, gauges (oil temp battery)

428 is completely rebuilt that was running totally fine when pulled out...it smelled like burning oil off the hot engine and it bothered me...

Rebuilt transmission by same shop here in Boise.

Completely rebuilt front end, bushings ball joints, steering controls, springs, kyb shocks front and rear, brakes, brake lines, alignment etc.....

Rotors were not changed, should be original to the car.

Vinyl top was replaced by my Dad for my birthday about 11 years ago, (there is a blue note in the paperwork saying happy birthday David) but the car has been driven less than 1500 miles since and stored inside my shop since then.

Tires are really nice, not many miles on them. Car came with 14" wheels, but I put 15" wheels on it a few years ago.

I asked nearly every year about the car for 6 years 1994- 2000. The old couple finally agreed to sell it to me....go out and look at it and make us an offer.... When I opened the hood, I saw the chrome air cleaner and valve covers. It was "her car", not his. They said it was in a parking lot accident at Albertsons in the 70's and the daughter added remembering hearing "whoever owns the green Pontiac Grand Prix" over the intercom of the store.... it was hit behind the driver's door, you can see the paint spot fix job in the photos. They kept all the paperwork for the car in a file which I will include...and try to ad that photo that I just took.. and I CANT FIND THE PAPERWORK FOR THE WORK I HAD DONE... it may be at work with the title in the safe.. when I know more on this I will put it in the description....but can tell you it was about $8000.00 parts and labor here by a well known shop in town.. (the owner has properly restored several of his own GTO's, one or two are "Judges") Many dates and mileage on the paperwork showing its original...not 213k.

Examples- MILES- in 1973 -34,231, in 1975 - 48,500 in 1976- 62,400, in 1981 - 74,100 miles, in 1988 92,000 The car was licensed till 1995 or 1996, but not driven much. The car had about 106K miles on it when I got it about 13 years ago and it has 113K miles now. I took the motor out in about 2005 or 2006. This was my daily driver for less than a year, and a hit and miss driver for the other 5 years or so....typical for me, I change cars often.

It was kept under a large open garage next to the house by the previous owners. I have about 45 receipts/repair bills/parts lists/shop order forms etc from about 1973 to current. I call this car a survivor. It has some paint blemishes for sure (paint is thin, wore off, and bad in areas), but its got a majority of the paint the factory put on it, and I like it the way it is. It requires a lot less babysitting and worrying. The trunk has the original cardboard panels on the sides and has ZERO RUST- NONE. The inside of car has ZERO RUST, often times car sweat inside and all the metal under the dash and under all the vinyl etc is rusty and gross. THIS CAR IS NOT A RUST BUGGY. It's a dry Boise, Idaho car, it does have very minor rust on the body, very minor....

The interior is nice...front door panels have minor cracks, and small wear spot on the drivers seat. I would not enjoy the car any more if I painted it or fixed the minor things on the interior. Carpet is in super shape..not tired or worn out. There is still and inspection sticker on the inside of the windshield from 1974 if I remember right....

I backed the car in my garage about 7 years ago, and was annoyed with the smell of oil burning off the engine, it ran strong, had no knocks, no smoke etc. I should have just fixed the oil leaks ... but ... 6 years later, I got it back on the road. I did not install the engine and transmission. I did pull both... but had the shop that rebuilt both install them and never had either in my possession from time I dropped them off about 6 or 7 years, I brought the shop my car when they were ready ( yes, it was a long time, but that was the agreement..) "I will rebuild it, but no set time that it would be done" They installed them at that time....when they were done. The total for the labor and engine and transmission was around 8000.00 I paid 2500 down and about 5500 balance.....I had two yellow receipts that I thought were in the car, but cant find them, I will ask the shop if they have a copy....and give the shops info upon request of coarse.

I have driven the car less than 1000 miles since the installation, and its for sale now because it does not bring me the joy I imagined it would.

I know it's a very loaded J, and it came this way, it's not a Plain Jane car with added options. It NEEDS: a front seal on the transmission replaced. If is sits for about a week or 10 days it leaks out about 1/2 a quart, and has since the day I drove it home. The transmission shifts strong and works just as it should but needs the cable adjusted so when putting it in park, its actually in park, it will click on a slight hill. It had a new master cylinder on it when I got it back, but it slowly goes to the floor, so it needs a new one, its still very driveable, but not really safe. It has a gas leak when filling the tank up, but if it has less than (approx 10 gallons) it does not. Its been this way since I got it back.

The exhaust is older and will need whatever you fancy, put on someday. I would not enjoy the car any better if it had new exhaust. The battery is new, the underside of the car is in SUPER SHAPE. The engine and components should be as it came from the Factory. There are a couple plug/wires for accessories that are not plugged in, I do not know why or what, but it's extremely limited...perhaps only one after looking closely.

I do not have the 14" wheels, I think I sold them, don't recall. The carpet is very nice, no rot, rips or tears, and its original. Original floor mats in the front, no back ones. I am likely missing something, but this is the best description I can give.

If you are wondering why I never took it back to have the trans leak fixed, you would have to know me, but I refuse to return things, and did mention it to an employee a week after I got it back ( he was looking a parcel of land I had for sale), but just never took it in. Good luck buying and or bidding, the car is here to sell, its not just for sale and I will not relist it week after week trying to get every last penny out of it.

I bought a 64 Catalina safari and it will take this cars place. I have put a tremendous amount of money and time into this car, and am ready to lose money, but no more time, so PLEASE, dont waste it, bid to buy, don't delay in putting the immediate deposit down and paying for it. The car can stay here for 2 months, no charge-

I will not let you come here and restore it or take a shower and have dinner here either....that would be annoying. It needs to be paid for within a week. You can't show up and pay for it or change your mind after you bid/buy it. If I wanted to deal with all that goes with selling a car that way, i would put a retail price on it and wait until someone came along that just had to have one of these cars with these options...they are out there...the cars, and the buyers for them.... Either way, you will be getting this car for far less than my recent repair bill, so you should be very happy with the car. PLEASE WATCH CLOSELY. I have a history of lowering the buy it now or reserve (not sure how I will list it just yet) but I have done this in the past to get things sold and over-with... so watch closely. I may deliver the car to a neighboring state or perhaps a little further.. just make an offer. It would be trailered and delivered...perhaps late at night if that would work out for me.... I am likely missing some things..but this is better than most dealer or private seller descriptions...they leave out the bad things it seems... and the photos all seem to make things look better than they are. This is not a repainted cover up job car. You will not be overpaying for a cheap paint job, or have to deal with greasy front end parts, greasy engine compartment etc. It was all scrubbed and cleaned and painted when the engine was out.

I think the car was built in Pontiac Michigan....just in case that matters.

I called the shop that did the motor, transmission and install. They will have a copy of all the work that was done in detail. They keep copies on file, so its not a problem.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
