To start with, let me first
say that I understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also
understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not
buying. However, for the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned
money, I feel that there is never too much information. As to myself, I am not a
dealer, just a (63) year old kid that still loves muscle cars. I am now
retired, having managed a Correctional Facility here in Maine and worked for
the Maine Department of Corrections for over (40) years. I am also a respected
member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car
and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing
with. Also, please check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1,039)
transactions. Many of those have been muscle cars which I have sold to
individuals all over the country as well as As to this Grand Prix that I
am selling, it is for the wife of a person I worked with for the last 15 years
who unexpectedly passed away a few months ago. He was a true GM man and this
particular car was his baby and was the one car he always told me he would
never sell and he stuck to his word to the end. My hope is that it will be
passed on to another family who will love it and care for it as this family has
done for the past 38 years. The reality is that you simply do not find all
original, low mileage, classics like this anymore. And when you do, you need to
treat them as you would a piece of fine art. That is how I feel about all of
these classic cars (fine art) as once they are gone, they are gone forever. The 1975 GP was essentially a
carry-over from 1974, in terms of styling. The few changes made were
concentrated in the grille, which received fewer vertical slats, and in the
taillights, which were now more vertical. Okay, let's go back to 1975
for a moment. “Love Will Keep us Together” by Captain and Tennille, was Billboards
number one song and who could forget the Reds beating the Red Sox in 7 games
for the World Series? In that same year, in Rockland Maine, a local gentleman
was sitting in Moody Pontiac waiting to take home his new 1975 Grand Prix LJ.
You didn’t have to check too many boxes as the LJ model was already loaded. He
drove that car home and told his wife that he would never sell his beauty and
he kept his word all of those 38 years. This car was loved and cared for like
part of the family. Never driven in the winter or inclement weather. Yes the
wipers were used occasionally when the car was caught in a small rain burst but
that is the only time it would see rain. Obviously stored most of its life as
is indicated by the extremely low mileage, the car was actually placed on
blocks during the winter months to ensure that the spring tension would not be
effected. So for your consideration is
this one-owner, beautiful and original 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ with
the 455 4BBL engine and automatic transmission. The odometer shows 21,887 miles
which is completely original. The Grand Prix LJ has all original "rust
free" body panels and undercarriage. Including all of the standard options as well as the
sun roof, the LJ option added the following amenities to an already loaded
car: · Power Door Locks; · Power Windows; · Cordova Top; · Added Acoustic Installation; · Luggage Compartment Trim; · Lamp Group; · Cornering Lamps; · Sport Mirrors; · LH Visor Mirror; · RH Visor Mirror; · Litter Container; · Custom Finned Wheel Covers; · Spare Tire Cover; · Bumper Guards. Normally, this is where I go into all of the casting
numbers and dates to prove originality or not as well as comments on the overall
condition of different areas of the car. However, I will not waste your time with
this Grand Prix LJ. Virtually all areas and major components are in very good
to excellent original condition including hoses, trim, rims and tires. My Comments: Are you serious! I personally have never seen a more original, one-owner classic muscle car than this 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ. Enough said. Look at the photos and video and see for yourself. If you are looking for a winter beater, this is not for you. If you are looking for a real classic, this car is definitely for you.
Also, please don't forget that any and all original documentation when and if found will be sent to the new owner ASAP. As
with all of the cars that I sell on eBay, the easiest way for a prospective
buyer to get a sense for my cars is with tons of information and loads of
photos and a video. Feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to
answer them and respond ASAP. Here is the link to the video:

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
