Thank you for your interest in my 1983 25th Anniversary Edition Daytona 500 Trans-AM.  You are probably aware that Pontac built only 2500 of these Pace Car Editions, of that number only 483 where built with 5 Speeds and T-Tops.  There is a lot of information available on the internet about how this Edition was the first to have Special Two-tone Paint, Leather & Pigskin Recoro Bucket Seats, the first use of Red Insrument Panel Lighting, the Special AERO Package thet helped reduce the drag coefficient to about .3050 and the new for 1983 5-Speed Manual Transmission with 0.730:1 Overdrive.  Full documintation from PHS ( Pontiac Historic Services) Automotive Services with Window Sticker (2), Delivering Dealer Invoice, Press Release Information, and other supporting documents with an Membership Application to the Pontiac Oakland Club International are included with the car.

The provenance of ownership and my knowledge of this vehicle is from day one as I sold this car new at Mesa Pontiac GMC located in San Diego.  My client liked it so much that when we told him we were only getting one he asked me if I could teach him to drive a manual transmission.  I agreed to teach him and he bought it at the full list price of $18,225.83 plus tax, license, and doc fees.  About a year later he had medical problems and we (the dealership) repurchased the car.  When my cousin found out this vehicle was available he purchased it from me being only the 2nd owner.  My cousin drove the car untill April 2000 when he parked it to keep the milage down and do a restoration.  Well he didn't get around to the restoration and stored it out side until I purchased it in July 2011.  The car, while still needing restoration, is a usable viable means of transportation.  I have probably invested over $6,000 in it to make it a sold dependable driver but other things have taken priority of my time and monies.  This car never had some of the decals installed (windows - Pontiac, Doors - Daytona Logo, or the NASCAR - on rear quarters, dealer items) but there is a set of new OEM decals included to help towards restoration.  My cousin did replace the original 5-speed with a brand new one (exact replacement same like and kind) because it was leaking and the Pontiac dealer could not seem to fix it, the original numbers matching transmission is included.

While the pictures show that this is not a show car I would like to point out that it is all stock and unmolested.  I know the engine is all original and never opened, the body all original, and vehicle is all compleate.  The car lived in Pacific Beach, CA then Escondido, CA and now in Hemet, CA.  Like I said previously while stored in Escondio outside it didn't help the cars interior but there isn't anything that can not be found new or even at wrecking yards as most of the same interior parts are shared with  3rd Generation Chevrolet & Pontiac F Bodies.  I know of only one non-stock item that has been changed by (first owner), the 3.73 rear axle was changed to a 3.42 due to a howel in the gear set.  With this gear change I get around 16 to 18 MPG around town and when I drove it to SEMA averaged 22 MPG driving 75.  At 60 in 5th the rpms are jest at 2000, 65 = 2150, 70 = 2250.  This a solid great driving and fun car. 

If you a California resident purchasing this vehicle the Smog Certification was just done (Feburary 28, 2013) and is good for transfer for 60 days.  The vehicle is currently licensed until April 26, 2013.  Delivery is available at an additional cost by me driving it to your destination anywhere in the contiguous 48 states.

If you have any questions call me, Sheldon, at (951) 658-8444. If there is no answer leave a message and I will call you back.  More pictures available.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM

Fri, 16 Oct 2009

Ford 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.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation 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.
