1994 Pontiac Grand Prix Se Coupe 2-door 3.1l Factory Turbo, May Be Collectable on 2040-cars
Carlyle, Illinois, United States
The good: 1994 Prix with a 1990 Prix STE factory intercooled turbo 3.1 engine (with top gun power chip), and transmission. Will do 1/8 mile in 9.12 sec. fairly new tires with factory honey cone rims, sun roof, and a navigator (also out of a 1990 STE). Boost gauge, runs and shifts fine.I had the engine,wiring harness PCM and transmission installed 8 yrs. ago and been driving as my main vehicle,and is fun to drive because of turbo boost effect.Gas mileage average 24, highway 32. The not so good: AC does not work has leak, no anti-lock brakes,has been removed to fit turbo. has regular vacuum booster brakes. hood has dents, driver door also has dent, clear coat coming off on top of car the spoiler, and fender flairs. Has a crack in the dash. Head liner falling,passenger sun visor has fabric hole. ,Doesn't use oil but if idling, smokes out of tailpipe. Has always did this since turbo was replaced eight yrs ago, radio works but power antenna wont go down,and other small items .Has rust problems by gas tank filler door,under door seals. But the worst is the rear swing arm mounting brackets.They are rusted as you can see in pictures, I'm still driving this car myself but I'm saying this rust area could makes this unsafe to drive. Can this be fixed? Maybe.Its a shame Pontiac didn't do a better job in this area for rust protection. .Can show more pictures if needed.Buyer will be responsible for shipping.I am not responsible for any accidents.Buyer will sign a waiver.

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 knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
