1963 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible on 2040-cars
Bayside, New York, United States
Here we have a 1963 pontiac bonneville convertible. It is a nice clean car. I bought it from the original owners son. The car has very low miles, under 100k. The paint is not perfect. Being honest it looks better in the pics than in person. It has a lot of cracking and chips. It is presentable and I would just drive it the way it is. Cruise with the top down and enjoy it. Summer here so don't wait. The car was painted at one point in its life or touched up in areas. The son wasn't sure what he had did. The car has one of the nicest dash boards ever. It's had all it's original gauges. It had the special order vacuum gauges for the manifold and special order tach. All the lights work on the dash. The original radio is there and working. It was ordered special with a tissue box holder below the dash. The interior is original and in good shape for its age. Has a couple blemishes and a few cracks but nothing major. The top is in good shape. No rips. I think the switch is broken that controls the top. I never looked into it. I just put it up and down manually. It has power windows that all work. One or 2 are a little slow and need help sometimes but they are original. The underneath is super clean with NO rust or rot. NO repairs ever made. The chassis is in good shape. No holes or rot. The Brakes all work fine. The suspension and shocks seem good. Drives down the road nice and smooth, Like a Cadillac... The tires are ok shape with a little dry rot and the rims have the original hubcaps. The motor is the original numbers matching 389 4 barrel carb. The transmission shifts perfect. You can drive the car anywhere you need to. The car needs to be painted at some point. There is bodywork on the car but what car this age doesn't have it. The car is pretty straight and it doesn't look like there was any major work or accidents of any type. There is a rust spot on the passenger quarter panel that needs attention. See pics... That's the major stuff on the car. The rest of the body has cracking and paint missing and blemishes here and there. All the lights work the way they should. There is no noises while driving it. It drives beautiful and gets a lot of attention everywhere I go. |

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
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.
