This auction is the first time this car has been offered for sale from the original owner,my wife. She ordered this car in early 1969 from Avery Pontiac,Columbus Ohio with a 350 engine a 4 speed transmission with positraction with a black vinyl top over silver, It was a beautifull car when it was new with its redline wide ovals. She never allowed anyone to smoke in the car in the 10 years she had it on the road and only a couple passengers if any ever rode in the back seat. The car was never hit or damged in any way and always garaged but yet the silver paint of that era failed within 5 years or so,I think the silver was repainted by a dealership in 1975 and promised not to repeat dulling,it did. In the summer of 1979 with 68,500 miles on itI drove it into the garage you see in the pictures, shut it off and that was it. I always intended to keep it running and cosmetically restore it but time has passed quickly and it is not going to happen. We pushed it out of the garage to clean the dust off it and take some pictures,couple of the tires on the original rally wheels were rotted so I put the steel rims on it to be able to move it. There was no condition issues mechanically when the car was garaged and the garage is under our house and somewhat heated and dry. The only issues bodywise on the car then and today is 4 very small rust issues,both front fenders at the bottom would require a proper patch,no way would they need replaced as the rear fender well area,rust on the lip. The bottom of the car is very solid,never undercoated to hold moisture, and shows mostly silver paint that I can see with a mirror,same with the trunk floor. The original black vinyl top is excellent and in my opinion should never be replaced ,same goes for the interior which would entail mostly just cleaning,from the black headliner to the black carpeting,excellent condition. I believe it still has gas in the tank which I am sure is now varnish and no atempt should be made to get car running without going through fuel system which is up to the buyer. I cannot guarantee engine or rings are not stuck even with the dry storage,years ago I removed the plugs and poured in a heavy amount of Kroil and cranked engine over but must have forgot to replace plugs as they are missing.This would be an excellent and solid car to easily restore. Thanks for looking,bid to own.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.
