Low Mileage, Highly Optioned Original Model J With Documentation on 2040-cars
Hayes, Virginia, United States
|
Up for auction is my extremely clean, documented 1973 Pontiac Grand Prix. It is avery much original Model J and is as solid and reliable as any late model car. This car is ready for the road but it wouldn't take much to bring it up to the next show level. This is the best color combination and everywhere it goes, it gets compliments and always draws a crowd at car shows. The paint is basecoat/clearcoat Florentine Red that was repainted only once last year. It has the original vinyl top that looks OK but if you are looking to seriously show it, it should be replaced. It has the original Pontiac Rallye II wheels that look great. The interior of the car is all original red velour and is in great shape except for a split along the seam of the drivers seat. The car has only 75000 miles on it and comes with a stack of paperwork to prove its low mileage, including the original bill of sale and window sticker. Everything works including COLD AIR CONDITIONING! It also has power windows, locks, drivers seat, and trunk lid and they all work as well. The original 400 has never been touched. All the parts are original and it runs great. I just took it on a 600 mile road trip to West Virginia. It can be hard to start when cold but when it warms up its fine so it could probably stand to have a carb rebuild. The transmission is the original Turbo 400 and the rear is a B-O-P 10 bolt with 2.73 gears. Its a great highway cruising car. It also has power steering and brakes. Every panel on the car is the original from the factory. The chrome is all there and looks great. I have owned this car for 2 years and representing it the best I can. The car is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction anytime. This is an auction and I will not reveal the reserve. |

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.

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.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
