I am a huge fan of 64 Pontiacs.  I am selling this car because I bought a 64 Safari...otherwise, I would not sell it.  The car needs a few things, but has a lot of good things going for it. This is not "like an impala" nor is it the GTO's big brother.  This was simply Pontiacs best full size trim line car, as far as I know, and likely one of the best looking cars of the 60's.  The interiors are spectacular, the lines are great by most car folks' opinion and the ride of the 64 Pontiac is very hard to beat.  


I bought it last year in Oregon, prior to that, I was told the car spent most of its life in Las Vegas.  I believe the car was built in California.  

The car needs the following:  a brake/wheel cylinder is bad...brakes stick, I would drive to a neighboring state or further without any hesitation, but that is a bit risky..because of the brakes. The headliner and carpet are bad, the rear passenger window was stuck down when I bought it and the car got wet inside messing up the carpet and headliner as well. The trunk has rust, but looks so nice like it is, and is solid. I would leave it alone.... its dry and looks good/original.  I did put a water pump on it, and that is all I have done to the car.  I have driven it no more than10 miles, but it runs so smooth and shifts so good.  No funny noises or hesitations, no smoke, no knocks, no ticks...none.  It steers extremely well, and is not a rattle trap, its very quiet.  I know these cars well, and it is a good one.  Not a high miles wore out junker.  The wipers are quiet on the windshield as well.... i ran them when I washed it today.   The front bumper is as nice as I have ever seen and its around 1500 bucks just to get one to look like this (re-chromed) The stainless and other chrome (except a spot on the rear bumper) is in SUPER SHAPE... I mean SUPER.  The body DOES NOT HAVE A DENT... LET ME BE VERY CLEAR... IT DOES NOT HAVE A DENT.  The car is almost 50 years old, and again... DOES NOT HAVE A DENT.  The re-paint paint job is faded but looks fine because again.. the car is super straight and the chrome and stainless shine so well. It does have one panel repainted, but i took a photo of the inside of the trunk and you can see it was never bashed in or anything major.  The dash is cracked, the front seat is not perfect.  The door panels are as nice as I have ever seen...WOW... so nice.  the drivers window was slowly working, not now.. the others are slow or need help up... need to be lubricated on the tracks for sure.  The engine and transmission are strong.  The car looks really nice.  I took photos of the car after I washed it, and once it was dry as well.  The right rear tire was pretty low, but its pumped up now and holds air just fine.. car has been sitting in my garage for close to a year and I drove it out without any issues at all.  Starts up nice.  NO SMOKE, NO TICKS, NO CARB ISSUES, no slowly turning over, no smells, etc.  No cracked glass or hazing either, nice factory green tinted glass.  Tires are good, not rotten or bald, not perfect or new either...  I did not look at the spare, but its likely an old bias ply, and the jack is in the trunk factory mounted.  I am pretty sure its 103k miles as the door panels, glass, chrome, and rubber on the pedals seem to tell that kind of story/miles... not double that.   

I do not expect the car to go for much, but be assured, you would spend a lot of time looking for one with a body this nice, the trim and chrome and running condition.  It needs a couple things as I mentioned, but this is a good car.  Not a junk yard cover up job.  
I just finally put it in my name, so the title is about 1 week away.  Likely by the time the auction is ending, I will have it.  

Dont waste my time or yours.  If you bid, bid to win.  Put the deposit down, and pay for it as required. This is not a high dollar/need a loan kind of car...lets treat it like that...  

You cant restore it at my house, eat dinner and take a shower here, and ask me to do all kinds of other things.. this is a low dollar car purchase.  I like getting a deal, and this will be a deal to whoever wins...  low reserve.  I often lower the buy it now and reserve to get instant gratification.. so watch closely.   Thanks for reading this far. If you live in Oregon or Washington, perhaps another state somewhat near here, I may be able to deliver it cheaper than a car hauler etc.  JUST ASK ME or MAKE AN OFFER.....   David

GM's got 107 problems and NHTSA's No. 1

Thu, Mar 6 2014

General Motors' problems with its recall of roughly 1.6-million vehicles continue to mount. Now that it has emerged that GM knew about the problem since at least 2004 but waited to recall vehicles until February 2014, regulators at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have begun a much deeper investigation. NHTSA has sent a 27-page survey to GM that includes 107 questions about the timeline of what led up to the recall, and it has until April 3 to reply. This isn't a simple, multiple-choice test. Automotive News believes that hundreds of pages could be required to answer some of the queries. NHTSA says that it is still investigating GM's response to the recall. "We are a data-driven organization, and we will take whatever action is appropriate based on where our findings lead us," said NHTSA in a statement on its website. If found liable, the automaker could face a fine as high as $35 million and even possible criminal charges, according to Bloomberg. NHTSA's questions include a detailed explanation of GM's examination process; how it will improve the process; why a planned redesign of the cars' key in 2005 wasn't implemented; and specific data on each complaint it received. According to Bloomberg, NHTSA also has records that show the company had a meeting with regulators to discuss the airbag failure in a Chevrolet Cobalt in 2007. New GM CEO Mary Barra has also hired an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation about what happened. It will include questioning company employees who were involved with the process from the start. The recall stems from faulty ignition switches that shut off the car while driving, and if it occurs the airbags deactivate. Thirteen deaths and 23 crashes have been caused by the problem, according to Bloomberg. If you would like to peruse NHTSA's entire questionnaire for GM, it can be viewed here.

700 horsepower Porsche GT2 RS is the wildest 911 ever

Fri, Jun 30 2017

The Porsche 911 comes in a variety of flavors, each filling a certain taste for a certain customer. Sitting atop the range is the new 911 GT2 RS. In previous generations, the GT2 had a bit of a reputation as a widowmaker, a 911 with massive power that could snap and bite with the slightest agitation. Porsche says the new model has been civilized, but with 700 horsepower going to the rear wheels, we're sure it's going to be as mad as ever. Power comes from a highly massaged version of the 3.8-liter flat-six from the 911 Turbo S. The rear-mounted engine makes an outrageous 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Like we previously reported, the new car will use water injection to help keep things cool. The only transmission is Porsche's PDK. While enthusiasts may lament the loss of the manual, the RS models have always been about performance above all else. Simply put, the PDK is the better performance option. All that power translates to a 0-60 mph time of 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 211 mph. The engine makes 80 more horsepower than the previous model. That makes it the most powerful road-going 911 ever built. In fact, the 887 horsepower 918 Spyder is the only road-going Porsche that makes more power. The fact that Porsche trusts all of that power to go to the rear is both thrilling and terrifying at the same time. In order to manage traction, the GT2 RS gets a number of upgrades. Rear-wheel steering has become commonplace in the 911 lineup, so it's no surprise to see it here. Sticky tires with 265/35 ZR 20 section rubber at the front and 325/30 ZR 21 section rubber at the rear keep things planted. That comically large rear wing adds downforce, adding to stability. The car gets standard carbon ceramic brakes. While some people prefer traditional rotors for the street, like the PDK, this is all about performance. A number of intakes and outlets complement the rear wing and maximize aerodynamic efficiency. It's a bit of a surprise that with all the focus on downforce, the GT2 RS still manages to top out at 211 mph. The hood, front wings, wheel housing vents, door mirrors, side air intakes, parts of the rear end, and a number of interior components are all made from carbon fiber. The roof has been made of magnesium. If you want to drop any pretense of civility and comfort in the pursuit of speed, Porsche is offering a Weissach package that shaves off another 40 pounds from the already impressive wet weight of 3,241.

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Pontiac Sunbird SE Coupe

Sat, Jun 11 2022

General Motors built the fantastically successful J-Body cars starting at the dawn of the 1980s and continuing well into our current century, on five continents. The Pontiac Division's version of the J started out being called the J2000 and the 2000, then got the Sunbird name originally used on the Pontiac-ized Chevy Monza starting in 1983. Here's a once-slick-looking 1989 Sunbird SE Coupe, found at a Minneapolis-area boneyard way back in 2016. The best-known of all the J-Body cars, here, was the Chevrolet Cavalier, but Pontiac far outdid even the most blinged-up Cavalier Z24 when it came to elaborate taillights. Because this is Minnesota, the car is a patchwork of various layers of junkyard-obtained rusty body parts. One fender has TURBO badges from a Sunbird GT. The other side has the correct engine badges for this model. That engine is a 2.0-liter, single-overhead-cam straight-four from an engine family originally developed for the Opel Kadett D. This one was rated at 96 horsepower when new. This one has the automatic transmission, so it wouldn't have been very much fun to drive. Check out that cool parking brake handle, though! And, hey, is that a full can of Colorado Cool-Aid in the foot well? You'd think a proper Minnesota Pontiac would at least be full of Grain Belt cans. It appears that Higley Ford in Windom, Minn., had this car on the lot at some point. Windom is closer to Sioux Falls than to Minneapolis. This final mileage total looks good for a car living in Tinworm Country. Pontiac built this generation of Sunbird from the 1988 through 1994 model years, though it was really just a facelift of the first-generation cars. Starting in 1995, the Pontiac J-Body became the Sunfire, and production continued until the J platform itself got the axe in 2005. This content is hosted by a third party.
