1979 Pontiac Grand Prix Base Coupe 2-door 3.8l Black Restoration Project on 2040-cars
Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
|
My mother purchased this Grand Prix in 1982 with 12,000 miles on it. Check out the pictures of the clear title. It has been sitting in her garage since 1995. The interior is in like new condition, the bucket seats look like they have never been sat in. It has factory guages and a rare factory AM-FM-CB stereo. The body is in very good condition, there are two small dings, one on the drivers side rear window chrome molding, the other on the top of the drivers side front quater panel. The paint is original, in ok condition and may buff out. The car was Ziebarted (rustproofed) when purchased in 1982, so the body and frame are very solid and in very good condition. The front bumper is in very good condtion, the rear bumper has a rust spot as seen in the pictures. I removed the original, numbers matching engine a few months ago to rebuild it. The engine had alot of blow-by the last time it ran in 1995. The engine is completely disassembled and has been steam cleaned, all the parts are there. The original, turbo 350 transmission is in good condition. I am getting married soon, need the garage space for my wifes new car, so thats why it's up for sale. The vehicle has alot of sentimental value to me, in the family since I was 16. I took my first date out in this car and my mother absolutely loves it. It is a true garage find and will make it's new owner happy. It does need a full mechanical restoration due to it's long rest.

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
