1979 Pontiac Bonneville

24000 original miles. My father bought this car in 1982 with 22000 miles on it. He has only put 2000 miles on since he has had the car. He had several other cars at the time and used this sparingly on the road. He was the second owner. The car has been sitting indoors the majority of its life.

EXTERIOR: The car is burgundy red with lighter red paint. Gold pinstripe accents and lower rocker chrome. The paint is in excellent condition with no pitting or rusting of the chrome bumpers or accent trim.

INTERIOR: Still smells factory fresh new car smell. The interior is red velour seating, red dash, red carpet... all red inside. The headliner has started to sag some on the drivers side but otherwise in excellent condition. There is one small wear on the drivers upper seat where the velour has rubbed off. Dash is not cracked or split at all. Has the original 8 track radio still in dash. Seats are power as well as doors, windows, and locks. Cruise equipped but not sure if it is functional. The GM cruises always seemed to have a habit of the lever switches going bad. Same as the A/C goes. It seemed to be blowing cool air but a change over to 134A would probably help. Is equipped with power brakes and steering.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION : This is a bit of a rarity I have been told. Most of these cars were equipped from factory with the 301 engine. This has the optional 350 engine. Buick 350 I believe is what it is according to vin tag and window sticker. The carb has been freshly rebuilt ( paperwork to show). The car sounds great, very healthy engine but wouldn't hurt with a nice change of plugs, wires, cap and rotor. The transmission is an automatic and shifts like new with no slippage.

TIRES: Tire have little if any wear on them. However... they are close to 30 years old. They show no signs of cracking or splitting. The rims are the modular wire chrome aftermarket rims, but the original steel rims and hubcaps are included with the car if you wish them.

EXHAUST: The only thing needing here is a mid-pipe, possibly muffler and tailpipe. The pipe from the back of the converter to the muffler had perforated rust holes. I am only saying it needs a cat back system because usually the muffler and tailpipe are damaged when removed from the pipes. All depends how careful you are.

The car is drivable and roadworthy for local driving , but with the age of the tires and the exhaust system being in the condition it is... use your own discretion. I would feel safer it being trailered...but that is your decision.

Car is sold AS IS!!! No warranty or guarantee is provided. If you wish more info or pictures feel free to contact me.

I do not accept cashier check or money orders. I have been burned on the past with counterfeit on both of these. Pay pal or cash is best. If paid with a check, the car will be held until payment has cleared usually 10-14 days.

Please do not contact me to end the sale early with your bid. Let the auction run its course.

Good luck and happy bidding.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car

Fri, 17 Oct 2014

Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
