Up for bids is this 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, not supercharged 3.8 liter engine.The supercharger is the only option this car does not have. I am selling it because I am in a wheelchair and the car is so low that I have a really hard time getting out of the car. I would have fixed the issues if I were to continue driving it, but the accessibility issue is why I don't fix it. I really liked driving the car and it will flat out go if you want it to. The hand controls do not go with the car and the trim under the dash will be restored to the factory configuration. I am pricing this car to sell because it still has a book value of over $5,000 with some models on Autotrader with more miles that are going for nearly $8,000 with all the options this car has. It will need some repair or I would be asking $4,000 or more for it. There is a lean on the car that I will try to have resolved before the end of the auction. Here is the story on the car.

I bought it about three years ago and have put less than 4,000 miles on it.It drives well and doesn't pull to the right or left. This car has some new parts, such as a new battery, two front tires have only around 4,000 miles on them (I did have four new tires, but it was sitting at my mechanic's garage and someone stole the other two wheels and tires which he replaced with two new wheels and used tires), new headlight bulbs and lenses (as these lenses are prone to smoking over and being really dim at night), the rear tires are also in very good shape. The factory features include a working factory sunroof, leather interior in very good shape for its age, heated driver's seat, polished chrome wheels, Bose audio system with AM/FM CD player that works fine, the display works,
however, it is very dim. If the sun shines on it, you can see what the clock or digital readout says. It has the HUD or Head's Up Display that is still bright. All the windows go up and down now. When I got the car, only one window worked so I removed some from another car and replaced all the window regulators.

What the car needs: I believe it needs a new alternator as the battery charge goes down even after you drive it and you can hear the bearings squealing as well. The power steering pump is weak, but I have another from another car that will be included. No guarantee that it is any better, but it worked before. The tachometer quit working and when that happened, the car doesn't want to idle smooth so I believe it must be the throttle position sensor or another sensor going off. The clock spring in the steering wheel needs to be replaced. The radio controls on the steering wheel do not work and the Air Bag light are on because of the clock spring being bad. Paint on the hood is faded and cracked and the corners are damaged due to someone opening the hood too far and damaging the hood hinges, which is why the hood hinges are white and not black. I think if you are a mechanic, these sensors, alternator, and miscellaneous parts probably wouldn't amount to much. The clock spring is about $163 so do what you want there. 

For the engine and transmission, both run and perform as they should, or did before the engine sensors mentioned above started acting up. After the engine gets past the idle issue, it runs just fine. If you would like to see the car running, I have taken some video that I can e-mail you if interested. The engine and transmission are not original to the car.They are from a 2001 Grand Prix GT. The reason they were changed is that the previous owner had a small engine fire that damaged the wire harnesses and some of the plastic stuff on the engine. I had planned on reusing the factory engine but it turned out it had a bad rod bearing and the transmission had the overdrive out.Taking no chances, I decided to buy a donor car for the engine, transmission, and all wire harnesses that were damaged. The insulation under the hood protected it from the fire, but could use repainting as the clear coat had too much hardener in it and caused it to crack. The paint on the rest of the car needs a good buff/wax and I think it would be fine, with the exception of the header panel. The header has the clear coat as a little tired. The engine and transmission have 10,000 fewer miles on it than the odometer shows. The sensors that have gone bad on the car have just occurred in the last 200 miles or so. Prior to that, the car ran great. It still does, but only after you get passed the low idle speed.

I have the parts car that can be purchased if you want it too. It still has most of the interior, airbags, all the glass is good, cat back exhaust, all of the trim, and most of the body. What isn't there is the engine and transmission, the header panel, hood, rear deck and bumper (damaged from an accident). If you want the parts car, it is $350. I also have some 40th anniversary badges and the 40th anniversary chrome tailpipe extenders for $60 if interested in those.

I am selling this car at a reasonably low price due to the problems it has. I would easily ask $3,500 to $4,000 if it were fixed. As it sets, $2,250 is a good price for the car. $500 deposit due at end of auction. Remainder due in five days in cash. NO CHECKS! If you need this car shipped, I will work with a shipper of your choice after all payments are made and clear.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.

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.
