Other than the above mentioned, the car is completely stock. This car is in excellent condition, no issues. Runs and drives like new. No exaggeration! Very clean interior, purple leather still smells new. 28000 miles. No excessive driveline lash like most others, no rattles. Original springs don't sag. No split seams in the rear seats. No door dings. Wheels although not perfect are free from any curb rash. The sole detractions are a couple of stone chips ons the hood and inevitable minute scratches in the clearcoat. Owners manual, radio code card, silver limited edition brochure and even window sticker are included. I also have the original flat hood (which I prefer) and the purple spoiler that was hideously perched on the trunk lid (which I obviously don't!) Cars of this nature are commonly abused, blown up and more often than not totalled. Many are salvaged . Finding a pampered, carefully driven example is proving to be increasingly difficult. The rare color and Monaro attire only enhance the probability of a unique one off GTO. The car is locally listed. As much as I like this car, I seldom drive it anymore due to life and health issues. Perhaps you can enjoy driving it as much as I have. Please note: In this listing, I have provided an honest personal discription. However, this does not constitute any written or implied warranty or guarantee of any sort. The car is listed in AS IS condition. Any further inquiries can be addressed via ebay contact email. Please allow adequate time for a response. Local interested parties please request appointment to see the car. PLEASE do not waste my time and yours unless you have the funds in order, or permission from whomever runs your life... LONG DISTANCE BUYERS PLEASE CONTACT ME IN ADVANCE FOR PAYMENT DETAILS. NO CHECKS OF ANY SORT WILL BE ACCEPTED. CASH ONLY FOR LOCAL PICK UP. |

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
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.
Rumormill: DeLorean Motor Company considering rescuing Pontiac Solstice?

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.
