DRIVELINE:
This Pontiac retains it's original driveline with 95983 miles on it. The original 4-barrel intake was replaced with a 2-barrel somewhere along the line. However a four barrel intake, carburetor, and air cleaner go with the car. The transmission is a 3-Speed manual with code A # 3748868 with a date code of L-12-12. Cylinder heads have a date code of L-17-2 Engine block is stamped 02B. Differential is a 3:23 posi-traction unit with Safe-T-Track differential tag still on it. Car runs drives and stops great. Some oil residue on the transmission crossmember indicates there are probably a few oil drips here and there but again, this is a 95000 mile original drivetrain in a 51 year old car. Engine has just been serviced with a fresh oil and filter change, new spark plugs, new air filter, new points and condensor, carburetor tuning and dwell set. The chassis has just been lubed. The motor runs absolutely fantastic.
UNDERSIDE:
Underside inspection reveals car was saved from major rust issues due to undercoating when new. Further inspection reveals a fresh rebuilt front suspension with new A-frame bushings, ball joints, shocks and springs.
BODY:
Body is painted with the original Code L Marimba Red and is near perfect with only a few minor touch-ups. Bumpers appear to have been replated. Glass is all perfect. Windshield is tinted. This car was obviously garage kept. 
INTERIOR:
Interior is beautiful with replacement seat covers and carpet. Padded dash is excellent. Oil pressure and temperature gauges have been added to original dash. Wipers, heater, and radio are all working. Headlights, tail lights, stop lights, turn signals and interior lights are all working. Back up lights do not work. Car is equipped with factory optional original seat belts.
NOTE:
In my photo assortment you will see that I put a set of original 1960's Mickey Thompson 5-spoke mag wheels on the front and a set of Radir 775-15 Cheater Slicks on the rear to show how the car would look in Drag Racing Trim for potential buyers who may have a Super Duty Clone in mind. This wheel and tire package will ONLY be included with the car at the buy it now price. If the car is sold for anything less than buy it now price then the additional tire and wheel package will be available for a separate additional purchase price.

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag

Wed, Feb 20 2019

Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
