This vehicle has been documented from day one, literally down to wiper blades and oil changes. Photos of paperwork are included in the 87 pictures at the link at the top and bottom of this listing. This vehicle is numbers matching (body panels/windows/wheels/drivetrain). The car has had a previous restoration so the paint is not original, but still in real nice shape. There is no rust under this vehicle and very little rust overall, the worst spot being behind the drives side rear wheel (picture in link). The quarter panel can easily be saved if you choose to fix but it never really bothered me enough to respray. The car is garage kept (and always has been) so it does not see water besides washes. Rocker panels are very good and other general problematic areas are solid as well.

The engine runs very well and starts right up, even on cold says. Transmission shifts smoothly and all gauges work as they should. No leaks, no burning oil, fluids are correct. Recent documented tuneup, brakes,tires and cat converter. This car passed NJ inspection with no problems and is still currently inspected.  Interior is in very nice shape as well. Period correct Kenwood cassette player has been installed as well as period correct pioneer speakers and amplifier. This is a 4 speaker option car. Radio can be converted back to original with ease as all wiring is still oem and correct. I will include the oem rear speaker grills as well with the sale.

The only thing this car really needs is a new belt for the Air Conditioning, Inner hood insulation some new weather stripping for doors (do not leak, just getting old) and a new front right bumper grill as it had cracked when I was washing the car. All in these parts will cost you about $200 to $300 depending on if you get them new or used. The car has a clean title and it is in hand with no liens. If you are looking for a great show winning car that you can drive every weekend and enjoy the way a muscle car is meant to be enjoyed, this is the one for you. It is garage kept, but not a garage queen. 

Hagerty rates these cars in very fair/poor condition at just under 10k to upwards of 40k in perfect condition. The insurance appraiser put this car right around 22k, as it was repainted and has small body issues, but remains all original in all other aspects ad far as body/interior and drivetrain. I am listing the car for only 7000 with no reserve!

My name is Steve and I can be contacted anytime with questions at 908-361-3616 or via ebay message. I can send you any pictures you need or any information you may want, that way you are comfortable bidding. HERE!

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Bob 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.
