Pontiac Grand Am Coupe 1979 - 455! Extremely Rare Professionally Done on 2040-cars
Farmington, Michigan, United States

1979 Pontiac Grand Am Coupe 455/4 bbl You’re looking at a very rare Pontiac Grand Am Coupe only 4021 of these were made in 1979. And what’s rarest of all is it has a 455 in the engine bay! If the factory would have built a car like this, this would be it. This is a true fast, sleeper. This car is ready to rock and roll for cruise nights this summer or the drag strip. A true Muscle Rod that looks great and gets loads of attention. You can get in it and drive it now! This car is a real cool sleeper… At last year’s dream cruise this car got rave reviews from the audience as it cruised down Woodward Avenue. It has a 455 V8, .030 over, which makes it a 462 Cu in. ? torque monster (replacing the factory 301). It was professionally rebuilt (I have some of the receipts, I did not do the rebuild). The Pontiac engine code is confirmed to be a YY with the big value 6X heads. All true Muscle Rod go-fast parts. The engine is matched to a turbo 350 transmission with a shift kit. You lay rubber in second gear, as you nail it. Driving the power to the ground is the heavy-duty GM 12 bolt posi- rear end. It is fueled through an Edelbrock 1604 carb sitting atop an Edelbrock aluminum high-rise manifold. It has a brand-new professionally installed dual exhaust system. What a great rumble from this new 2.5” exhaust system, with large diameter full length headers from MAD DOG Headers. The front tires are new and the rears have good tread life, and are BFG 245x15’s. The car handles very well, nice and tight. The radiator is upgraded to a heavy duty aluminum radiator. The battery has just been replaced. The big sway bar holds the car in the corners. This Pontiac is very dependable and the car runs and drives is you would expect from a great cruiser or drag/street racer. Take on the Power Tour this year and be one of the very rare people with the Pontiac version of the Malibu. Everything works on this car as it should, including the AC. There is some surface rust underneath the trim around the rear quarter windows and, but there is no rust through anywhere! There is some bubbling on the passenger side rear quarter about the size of a quarter. Nothing major. I believe the rust proofing job preserved this car. The undercarriage of this car is extremely clean. The interior was redone last summer (2013) with new painted trim ( Carmine Red), new headliner and carpet. Everything works on this car, just like from the factory! The interior is all factory original except for an aftermarket period radio. The seats look great ( driver seat needs minor stitching) and the dash is perfect, no cracks rips or tears. The car comes with some original service manuals and some paperwork, and service records, which date back to the mid-1990s. This is an awesome Muscle Rod YOU must see to appreciate. I highly recommend you come and take a look at this car and you will fall in love with it. You will not be disappointed. This car is ready for cruising or the drag strip, or both… A whole lot of fun in store for the purchaser of this rare Pontiac… GRRRRRRRRRR, it just needs a tiger tail.

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.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile
Sun, 29 Apr 2012Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.
