Barn (garage) find has been in not so friendly storage since 1984
Car was modified slightly and many engine parts were not there, I do have the original engine block correct stamped with the VIN standard bore, I do not have the correct heads, intake, carb, distributor etc, just the bare block. Most of the parts are readily available and relatively inexpensive.
The original transmission, bell housing and shifter are also MIA.  The original clutch linkage is there with the pedals and z bar.
The original 8.5 10 bolt posi with 3.23 gears and rear disc brakes is there.
The body is very solid except for three areas shown in the photos, the drivers side tow board under the pedals has some good size holes and will need to be patched or replaced.  The cowl around the body trim tag has some perforation.  The weatherstrip trough on the drivers side t top is rusted through in one spot.  The quarters and trunk floor are very solid, the car had nitrous and a trunk mounted battery so there are several small holes 4 @ 5/16" and three larger 1/2 holes for the cables and nitrous line.  The front fenders have some surface rust on the bottom edge as do the doors.   The hood is straight but does have surface rust.  The shaker has been modified and the bottom portion removed and it was bonded to the hood, the metal air cleaner assembly is missing.  All the Trans Am specific flares and spoilers are there, the aftermarket rear flares shown have been removed and sold.
The interior is the original deluxe hobnail cloth in red and in very good condition except for some fading on the top of the rear seat.  The door panels have good vinyl but the rear paper is warped and the carpet on one is damaged.  The dash and steering wheel are excellent.

Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

Wed, 07 Oct 2009

DeLorean Motor Company Pontiac Solstice renderings - Click above for high-res image gallery
General Motors has made a science out of sharing platforms. So when the company's Kappa platform was introduced for a new rear-drive roadster to be distributed across three different motor divisions, you'd have figured the program was pretty safe, right? Unfortunately for the workers at the Wilmington Assembly Plant which manufactured the Kappa roadsters, those three divisions were Pontiac, Saturn and Opel - three units which the General has either sold or shut down. Which is a shame, because a perfectly good rear-drive roadster platform is a heck of a thing to waste.
In one of the strangest rumors we've heard recently, however, our compatriots over at Jalopnik report that the DeLorean Motor Company (yes, that DeLorean Motor Company) is considering buying the plant and the platform from GM and putting it back into production as a new DMC.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
