Hello all,
Here is a great example of a super rare Pontiac. This Star Chief coupe is a great driver and is ready for a new owner to enjoy now. She is matching numbers and mostly all original with just maintenance and upkeep being preformed as needed through out her life. A vast stack of records and receipts are included chronicling her 57 year existence. On to the car!
The 347 engine and auto tranny preform amazing and really move this car down the road. BOTH have been rebuilt with RECEIPTS to verify the work preformed. She idles nicely and the exhaust puts out a great sound when you put your foot into it, not too loud, but not to quiet either. She runs down the highway great with plenty of power. No smoke or strange noises from the engine or tranny with both performing as they should. She does like to warm up for a couple of minutes before setting out. The original carb is included and has been rebuilt, has a edelbrock on her now that works great. New original fuel pump is also included, running an electric pump. These basic upgrades really help to make the car preform more reliably, but can be switched back if need be.
The body and undercarriage on this car is as rust free as one could hope for, even with factory markings on the frame. The previous owner stated that this is an original brown car, and a quite unusual color combo with the blue on white interior, but it works and is super 50's. The car was repainted some time ago and is showing rock chips,scratches etc, but still looks good from a couple feet. This was the one thing that was planed to do, was a repaint, just to take the car to the next level. Paint is ok for a driver though. The biggest thing i can stress is how rust free this car appears to be with no previous rust repair being done that i have found. There is a couple minor dings etc, but nothing major.Stainless is mostly in great shape, chrome is all original and some is showing minor wear etc from being almost 60 years old.
The interior shows very nice and is very functional just the way it is. Seats are in great shape, headliner is beautiful, most of the chrome and stainless on the inside is in great shape. Dash is uncut, factory radio hole is just covered up is all, but factory radio is included and was rebuilt. Newer cd player is in glovebox. The fuel gauge is intermittent and will need attention. Everything else works! even the lights come on when you open the doors.
All in all, This is a great example of a rare pontiac in driver form with nothing being needed to take her out on a cruise. The new owner can preform various restoration or beautifying procedures as they see fit. This is not a restored show car or trailer queen, but a great driver quality car that hasn't been affected like so many by rust issues. I am helping a buddy sell the car who sadly cannot afford to keep it after recently purchasing her. There is a buy it now in mind, but due to scammers who just hit the button please contact me for more info. If you are serious about the car feel free to give a call at 425-802-8682 to discuss further. I reserve the right to sell the car locally, so good luck to everyone and happy bidding.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Howard Stern latest in Seinfeld's passenger seat for CiCGC
Thu, 06 Feb 2014We'll be honest: the actual cars in Jerry Seinfeld's hit internet series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee, typically take a back seat to the celebrities in the front row. Seinfeld usually throws in a few lines about his classic wheels in the first minute or so, and then moves on to the important business of sprightly conversation and pithy one-liners. It's great.
This time around, with legendary motormouth Howard Stern riding shotgun, the 1969 Pontiac GTO Judge that might have been a co-star, gets forgotten about almost completely. Instead, Stern spends a tremendous amount of screen time extolling the virtues of his therapy sessions, attempts to dive into Seinfeld's prowess as a lover and generally makes a nuisance of himself. Pretty much to plan, then.
Scroll below to hear Howard accuse Jerry of acting like Jesus, just before declaring himself the greatest radio personality in the history of the business.
