Here's a 96 Grand Am that doesn't show up like this every day!  First things first:


Yes, it has a rebuilt title.  I won't try to deceive anyone. Life happens, this car was professionally rebuilt by Bryan's Body 'n Fender in Rockland, Maine, if you're uncomfortable with that, I understand, if you can overcome that fear, read on. As you can see he took some liberty in restoring it to it's former glory, so this car has the following new additions:

Hood scoops
2 tone Black/Green paint job
Air brushed ghost flames (in the form of a Phoenix)

This car has been maintained as long as my wife and I have owned it (29,000 miles), recently replaced are the following:

Fuel Filler Neck
Muffler hanger
Radio

The car drives wonderfully, gets decent gas mileage (25-35mg), has peppy acceleration with that V6, a great suspension helps on the corners to, and it looks good!  This would be a great car for a teen who really wants to look good.
Important to note: This car comes with 4 near new studded snow tires.  Put these on come wintertime and you'll be able to go ANYWHERE!  Trust me.  As long as there is less than 12" you'll be fine.  The all season tires that are on it also have good tread.

In the interest of full disclosure, there is a small rust spot in front of the passengers rear wheel well.  It's not really noticeable.  If you're driving it you definitely wont see it.  The A/C does need a recharge.  The check engine light is on (EVAP code), probably due to the fuel filler neck repair.  The car is currently being driven, miles are getting added on @ about 400 miles per week.  I did the numbers last week, it got 33mpg (mostly all highway).  You can't beat that for the price.

Bottom line:

How many cars do you see for sale with this few miles?
How many get that kind of gas mileage?
How many are priced like this?
Do the math, it'll last you a real long time, and it's probably one of the best deals in the country.

In case you're curious, there's nothing else wrong with the car.  Seriously. My wife just wanted to get an SUV.  Now we have one.  I'm not trading down from my Cadillac to this, so that's why it's for sale.  Come take it for a spin, the car will convince you better than I can!

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?

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."

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We 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.
