 I found this highly optioned 66 Pontiac Bonneville 2 door hardtop with a Brougham package in a barn!  It had been parked for many, many years! 

Someone is going to get an amazing survivor!

    It has a 389 CI 325HP 4 barrel V8 engine, turbo 400 automatic transmission, 10 bolt rear end.

Options include:
 power antenna (works!)
6 way power front seat (works!)
rear window defogger (works!)
reverberator for the radio (works!)
oil and temperature gauges (they both work!)
excellent power steering and brakes
tilt steering column
remote control drivers outside rear view mirror
Front and rear fold down center armrests
(part of the upscale Brougham package)
Under hood and trunk removable lights on reels (works!)

The Brougham package included many upgrades including cloth upholstery and upscale trim.

    It is all there and complete, front fenders are rust free and straight, floor pan is solid and rust free, doors are rust free, rear quarters have had some work done on them at some point in the past but I see no evidence of any rust.  Original everything! Including the paint.

All the stainless is still on the car and looks great!  The rear bumper has peeling, the front is in fair condition.

The filler panel beneath the rear window that was covered by the vinyl top had rust but was repaired and the trunk pan has rust. The  upholstery, headliner, vinyl top and dash pad are in desperate need of repair/replacement.

The engine runs smooth and strong, the transmission shifts properly and goes down the road very nicely.

The pictures really tell the story, don't hesitate to ask any questions you might have.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

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.
