   Up for auction is a 1968 Pontiac Grand Prix with the ultra rare 428 engine and 4 speed transmission. There were only 306 manual big cars made this year by Pontiac. This one came in Cameo Ivory with a black vinyl top and Burgundy red interior. The car originally came from Hughes Motor Company in Prestonsburg, Ky. The paint is nice with a minor blemish here and there. I would rate it an 8.5 out of 10. The vinyl top is excellent. The interior is original to the car and shows minor wear with no rips or tears. Factory options include PS, PB, AC, dual exhaust, gauge cluster, electric clock, push button radio, rear speaker, trunk release, open rear, ride and handling package, HD 15in. wheels, bucket seats, console, RH & LH vanity mirrors, soft-ray glass, power antenna, and heavy duty air cleaner. Added options include 14in. Rally II wheels with Coker G70x14 bias-ply redline tires, AM/FM factory radio, wood wheel, and hood tach. 
   Car runs well with no issues mechanically. At some point, HEI was added. It currently has an Edelbrock 4 barrel carb and intake. The original carb and intake have been refurbished and are included with the car. The following items are needed to make car completely right. The gas gauge reads straight up. Blower motor needs replaced. One of the headlight doors is lazy and doesn't always remain closed when car is off. Wood wheel horn button needs to be installed (I have). Glove box could be replaced. Trunk release has been removed. Car is nice cosmetically. Only issues are a scratch on the passenger front side window near the lock button and a blemish and ding on the front bumper. I would have taken care of these things, but I need to sell quickly as I have lost my job. I purchased this car 2 years ago from a man in Pa. and have enjoyed it immensely. It has won numerous awards in people's choice car shows and it always draws a crowd due to its rarity and exquisite color combination.
   Car is sold as-is. It is 45 yrs. old and has been maintained well over the years. I am looking to get an amount somewhere between average and high retail according to NADA values. This is an excellent opportunity for the rare Pontiac collector. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time as car is for sale locally. Full payment is due 7 days after auction ends. Call or e-mail me with any questions. My name is Richard and the phone number is (407) 808-4044. I am located in Orlando, Fl. Thank you for bidding and good luck.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

The last Pontiac Fiero sold for $90,000 at auction

Thu, Dec 3 2020

On August 16, 1988 the last Pontiac Fiero, a red GT model, rolled off the assembly line at GM's Pontiac Assembly plant located in Pontiac, Michigan. It wasn't just the final Fiero, but the final car to be built at that site. The car was raffled off to one of 1,400 plant employees that would soon have to find jobs elsewhere. Whoever that employee was, they remained faithful to the Fiero and kept it in mint condition for 32 years. Last month, it was finally time to move on. It crossed the block at GAA Auctions in Greensboro, North Carolina where it sold for an astounding $90,000. According to the auction house, that's a new world record. The price no doubt reflected the car's place in history as the last example of GM's 1980s mid-engined sports car. However, it was also showroom-new, with just 582 miles clocked on its 2.8-liter V6. 1988 models were also fitted with an upgraded, Lotus-esque suspension produced for just that one year. In addition, this car, serial number 226402, came with its original build sheet, photos from the assembly line, and a collection of news articles and books. It still wore its pre-delivery plastic on the interior and was fully loaded with automatic transmission. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The car's custodian for the past 32 years must be pleased. Bidding started at $25,000 but soon rocketed past the $65,000 reserve. You can see the action starting at the 2:50:13 mark in the video above. The Fiero was symbolic of the 1980s and stood out from the standard GM passenger car fare for its mid-engine layout and plastic body panels. In an era when GM often rebadged cars with minimal differences, the Fiero rode on its own unique chassis. It was positioned as one of the defining products for Pontiac, GM's "excitement" brand, but actual performance never quite lived up to its striking looks.  Nevertheless, it garnered a cult following. It's often the basis for (questionable) custom builds mimicking more exotic models like Ferraris and Lamborghinis, thanks to a steel space-frame design that allows body panels to be easily removed. Thankfully, this significant example escaped such a fate and will live on as a reminder of an interesting chapter of automotive history.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
