The short-lived Pontiac Phoenix has never been a hit, or at least not as big as other Pontiacs. The GM brand produced the car for seven years, launching two generations almost entirely based on Chevrolet models.
The first-generation version launched in 1977 as a 2-door coupe and a 4-door sedan. A 3-door hatchback joined the lineup a year later. All models sported rear-wheel-drive support and manual or automatic transmission, depending on the ordered engine.
The laziest version, which focused on providing an economical drive to the supermarket, was the 151 (2.5-liter) four-cylinder unit known as Iron Duke. The next option in the queue came from Buick – the 231 (3.8-liter) V6. Chevrolet also donated two engines, both of them in V8 configuration. The first was the 305 (5.0-liter), while the latter and the top option on the first-generation Phoenix was the 350 (5.7-liter).
The Phoenix posted on eBay by seller cpemotorsportsllc is a 2-door coupe fitted with the 231 V6 engine. The car was sold new at Valley Pontiac in Auburn, Washington, and after all these years, it retains its tip-top shape and perfect working condition.
The only thing that's been changed since new is the paint. The car recently received a professional respray, so it looks new. The seller says you won't find any rust or bondo, as everything has been carefully fixed to align with the original Pontiac quality when the Phoenix rolled off the assembly lines.
The vehicle spent its entire life in a garage, but the last time it was licensed was in 2001. It has full documentation and 61,000 miles (98,000 km) on the clock. The seller says the vehicle belonged to an older couple who passed away, and they found it sitting in a barn – though no other specifics were shared regarding the storage condition.
However, you can tell the Pontiac was meticulously cared for, thanks to its impressive condition and because nothing is missing. It has almost everything original and in perfect shape, including the glass, the Landau roof, and the wheels.
As most petrolheads probably know, a Pontiac Phoenix isn't a highly desirable classic, though it makes for a neat daily driver, especially in such an impressive condition. The bidding for this Phoenix starts at $500, but the seller has also enabled a reserve. Its value is unknown, but I don't think you'll get your hands on this Phoenix without paying at least $5,000.
Interested buyers who want to check the vehicle in person must travel to Sandy, Oregon. A title is also available, and so is the complete documentation since new to confirm the low mileage. The car is ready to leave its current home on its wheels, as it's already fully road-worthy.
