1964 Pontiac Bonneville Two Door on 2040-cars
Fortuna, California, United States
|
This Bonneville has spent it's entire life in California. It was built in Southern California and has spent time there and in Northern California. It has an original NASA sticker on the back bumper and I believe that the original owner worked there in Pasadena. I purchased it out of Venice California and it now resides in very Northern California. Has original rear black and yellow plate, front plate is a copy. I was told that the paint is original but I do not think so. The finish is very nice however. The interior is original and very nice and clean. There is only one tear on the passenger side seat seam. I found the original steering wheel in the trunk and put it back on. the steering wheel has the typical cracking. Dash is very nice, some interior chrome has minor pitting. Wood is good on dash panel and dash top is beautiful. It had chrome wheels when I bought it but I put on used Pontiac wheels (sand blasted and painted) and found four nice hub caps to add to the originality. It has 50,700 miles on it. Person I bought the car from says miles are original. The horn and radio do not work. The front seat is power and does work. Air cleaner is chrome. Valve covers are not original, the originals are in the trunk. (I painted the valve covers Pontiac aqua and the air cleaner is black) The engine runs fine but can take a few pumps of gas to start. Throaty sound. No rust issues except for the trunk. Leaks oil one drop a week. I am getting out of the old car hobby. I have sold three other old cars. I prefer not to sell out of the United States this time around as two of the three I sold went to France and Australia and it was a huge headache. This car has the power! Probably needs alignment as it pulls to the right when braking. I am not a mechanic and do not work on my own cars so I cannot tell you a whole lot about the mechanics but will answer what I can.Please email me if you want my phone number. And email me for specific pictures. I hope to add more before the auction ends. The Bonneville is in Fortuna, CA. Humboldt County. About 125 miles south of the Oregon border, ten miles from the ocean. PS Ignore date on the pictures. They were taken week of May 10 2014. I cannot get the camera to change the date.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
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.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
