 '96 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi. 3.8 supercharged V6 L67 engine. RARE factory deleted rear spoiler!  Runs strong. Transmissions works and shifts perfect! Engine has a coolant leak at the plastic elbow connector. It may also have a lower intake manifold leak. I say may because I have noticed condensation in the oil cap along with small droplets of what looks like the orange dex-cool antifreeze, also in the cap, however I never did a pressure test. The driver side axle boot has a split in it, but I have a new axle for it, which will be included. Small rust area over the left rear quarter and two small dents in left front fender. Underneath the car is clean and solid. Brake lines are all solid. Rear air leveling system works well and looks like all the struts may have been replaced at one time. The automatic climate control is stuck in the default position, which is floor and defrost, but the heat and air work. Great eight speaker CD sound system! Interior is clean. Leather seats are in good condition with only minor normal cracking hear and there, but no splits. Sun roof works perfect and no leaks. It also has the Heads Up Display in windshield.
Has brand new Michelin Hydro Edge tires, new front rotors with new ceramic brake pads. New rear brake shoes and wheel cylinders. New nose drive on the supercharger. Hood was repainted due to the clear coat peeling. It was painted to the exact paint code listed, but is just a very slight more blue than the old paint. As was explained to me, this is due to there may have been a different "alternate" used at the factory. The difference is very slight and depending how the sun hits it, barely noticeable. I thought it was worth mentioning just so there's no hidden surprises. The rest of the paint is in very good condition!
I have described everything I can think of as best as I can. Be sure to ask any questions. With a little more TLC, this will be a really nice car. My intentions was to do that, but my time doesn't permit right now and I hate to see it just sit. Car sold AS IS!

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General 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.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
