1999 Pontiac Grand Am - Bright Red - Rebuilt Top End Of Engine - Really Nice Car on 2040-cars
|
Hi, I purchased this vehicle from a friend with engine problems two years ago. I went completely through the engine rebuilding it from the Head gaskets up. The heads were machined at professional machine shop. Upgraded black fiber composite head gaskets and upgraded steel intake gaskets were both used in the rebuild as I rebuilt the car for my own use. I have installed a new windshield, wiper blades, alternator, water pump, all top end engine gaskets, front brakes, cruise control buttons on steering wheel, all window motors in all doors, updated side rear view mirrors, and I'm sure there's more I can't think of this second. I will be updating this listing as I think of things also. The only things that do not work is the side mirror lights on the flip down visors. I am selling the car only because I have acquired a Cadillac CTS that I have just about finished. I have a clean and clear Indiana title that is "Normal" not rebuilt. The car has some scratches here and there on the outside, the passengers side front tire blew out putting some dents in the back side of the passengers front fender but are hardly noticeable. It has new tires and wheels as of a month ago. The wheels in the picture are not the current wheels. I do have a picture of the wheels that are on the car now included in the pictures as they are Konig Incident wheels. They actually very similar. I will be adding more pictures in the next few days by the way. The interior is in good shape, as it has some wear, the dash was curled like most grand am cars but when the windshield was out I re-secured the dash panel back down as much as possible. The carpet has normal wear. The seats do not have any holes. It has remote entry with truck release that all works perfectly. It also has a moon roof that moves up then slides back that is factory. The car does run and drive really good. After Purchase, I can meet with you anywhere within 25 miles of 47356. I will also give my cell phone # to the winner. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for your time and good luck! I do have the car listed locally so I do reserve the right to remove auction at anytime. If you want to make an offer please just message me.

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.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
