I bought this car about 4 years ago as part of my mid life crisis and have driven it on summer saturdays and sundays putting about 300 miles on it since.
When I bought it, it was in good shape (not great) and ran awsome. I took this car to the next level bringing it back to factory specs.
There were a few loose bolts and odds and ends that were needed to perfect the ride I knew 30 years ago. (had one when I was in my twenties back in 82)
The interior was original and as clean as a 30 + year interior could be.
I installed new carpet , seat covers, seat backs, headliner and t/top trim and various items making interior pretty much new.
The engine and trans were rebuilt prior to my ownership but still gave some tweaking to as well.
Full dual exhaust finished with walker factory type tail pipes. (had headers) sounds much nicer now.
Engine was completley tuned, oil pan gasket and rear main replaced.( leaking from sitting so long)
Shocks, springs, brakes and tires are like new.
Miles are unknown but I assure you, this car is SOLID inside and out!!
This car was given an awsome paint job back in the day but has been a few years since and does have a couple minor dings.
I think a new paint job is the only thing holding this car back from being a trailer queen..
I really don't want to sell it but i need room in my garage for my new project
This car starts, runs and drives like new with zero rattles

This Auto Aerobics car art ties our brains in knots like pretzels
Sat, 14 Dec 2013We 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 2014Following 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.
How to turn a Pontiac Fiero into a trackday car
Fri, 17 Oct 2014Imagine hitting the track in a mid-engine, rear-wheel drive sports coupe that's affordable and has pretty good parts availability. It might sound like a pipe dream, but it's actually quite possible, if you're willing to think a little outside the box. The Pontiac Fiero is out there just waiting for a little work to turn it into a competent racing machine.
Think about it for a second. Of course, we would all like to be snaking through the curves in something exotic, but what happens when you crash or something breaks? The bills are going to mount up quickly. However, if you ball up a Fiero at the track, as long as you're not hurt, then it's not a huge tragedy.
That's basically the story of Steven Snyder in a new video from Drive starring Matt Farah. Snyder wanted to go to the track cheaply and ended up with an awesome little Fiero with a huge wing and a claimed 220 horsepower at the wheels thanks to a V6 from a Chevrolet Lumina. Check out the video to see how this pint-size Pontiac performs.
