This auction listing is for a friend of mine who does not have a computer. We are listing with what information we were given and how we see the vehicle. This car is a running and driving project. Can be used as it is and be made better as you go along. To begin with, this car started life as a 1974 Pontiac Trans AM. Somewhere years ago a roof, floor section and back half of a 1978 Trans Am were sectioned onto the car. Looks like a decent fix. Have no idea why this was done. The front section fire wall forward is 1974. Cowl Tag and VIN is 1974. From the doors back it appears to be 1978.I believe the rear bumper is 74 The original 74 nose cone was damaged so he replaced it with a 76 cone for now. The owner installed a strong running 1977 400 Pontiac Motor and 4 Speed Transmission, power steering,power brakes,and tilt wheel. Also has a Posi traction rear we believe is 3:73 gear ratio. Recent dual exhaust, starter and clutch. Has a set of BF Goodrich Radial TA's 235/60R15 on front and 265/50R15 on rear. The car is fairly solid. Does have a little rust on the passenger side lower rear quarter (very fixable), small amount of rust on passenger lower rocker and a couple of soft areas on the driver side rear floor pan and passenger side front pan. Rest of the floors, frame rails and trunk pan, etc are solid. Even the rear frame rail extension under the rear bumper is good. No question it needs TLC but you can get in and drive it. A good low end muscle car project. We personally have a 1974 Pontiac Firebird parts car that has a good nose cone, grill, bumper, rear clip, etc that would work to fix this car. It is a complete rolling body and interior with no motor or trans. Call for details. We have a current Maine registration and proper transfer forms for a smooth transaction. Please bid only if you intend to follow through with the sale. These auctions take time and cost money so just be serious. If you need more info feel free to call or email us. Call us at 1-207-324-5568 Days or 1-207-432-2862 Eves and Sundays.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels

Sat, 14 Dec 2013

We like cars, and we like art. Naturally, Chris Labrooy's Auto Aerobics series - computer-generated images of some seriously contorted 1968 Pontiac Bonnevilles floating in mid-air - instantly clicked with us. If the Pontiacs weren't floating or hollow, we could be fooled into believing the image is real. But where's the fun in that?
Check out the gallery we included of Labrooy's Bonneville art, and feel free too head over to his website for some Formula One humor.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.
