up for sale is a 1966 pontiac bonneville sport coupe. i don`t know a whole lot about it i`m afraid. it has been sitting for two years and it used to run GREAT and sounded awesome, very powerful sounding. when my hubby just tried the engine it wouldn`t start, it just coughed and bucked if you know what i mean (i`m not a very technical girl, LOL) and he said the gas smells really bad. my hubby said that it needs to have the gas tank and so on flushed out and fresh gas put in, new spark plugs and so on. heres some very technical stuff he said i had to mention. the engine is a YF code which is 325 horse power according to what he found online. everything under the hood is original apart from an EDELBROCK manifold with a HOLLEY carburetor and HEADERS whatever they are!? and it has ELECTRONIC IGNITION. the car it has power steering. it used to have factory installed a/c but the compressor? is missing now and it has power brakes. apparently the bucket seats are very rare. we think the mileage of 97,000 miles is original but do not know for certain and have no way of telling. the floors are rusted in a few spots but they are still mostly very solid, the passenger front is the worst and will need to be fixed pretty soon. and there is rust in the trunk floor that was fixed years ago. there are some areas in the lower parts of the car that have been fixed years ago as well, my hubby said the rear window aperture will need some repair pretty much right away in his opinion, check out the pictures. there is a correct 66 steering wheel and column with the car to replace the wood steering wheel, which i think is kinda cool and racy looking. the ignition keys are long gone and the switch is out of the dash. my hubby said he had to 'hotwire it' which sounds very criminal to me, LOL. i have a clear title in hand but the car is LOCATED in GREENVILLE SOUTH CAROLINA at our other house. my ebay is address is listed as virginia and i can`t seem to change it, why is that mr ebay??? the car is going to need some work to be drivable on the highway again but it looks great and is worth putting a little time and effort into. they just don`t make cars this cool anymore!. the front bumper is bad and will need to be replaced. none of the power windows want to work, just some sort of buzzy noise when you press some of the buttons. the tires are cracking on the sides. all the carpets are out so a buyer can see all the floor pans, the carpets were no count anyway. we can take any pictures of any part of the car you like, just ask. we encourage buyers to come and check this car out in person, just call to make an appointment. we will help you to ship this car anywhere it needs to go and have already sent old cars to sweden, england and australia. to sum this one up its a very cool looking car but its still a project that you could get running and restore as you go so to speak. you will NOT be driving this car home, it will need to be trailered or whatever. my dad had LOTS of old cars mainly from the 1930`s and 40`s but he had many others of different years, he really loved old cars. right now we are clearing everything out but please remember we are NOT experts on this stuff so please ask questions before you buy and we will do our best to answer, if you need more pictures just ask. we have lots of other old car items listed right now for cadillac, lincoln, packard et cetera and will be listing more cars soon so please check our other old car auctions out. shipping overseas is no problem but please email for a shipping quote. if you want to phone you can call my hubby on 864 616 6860 up until 10 o`clock at night eastern time.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
