Lucerne Blue, Factory 4 Speed, Rare Cassette Player, Reasonable Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1971 Mileage:99999
Location:

Stoughton, Wisconsin, United States

Stoughton, Wisconsin, United States

  You are bidding on a real deal 1971 Pontiac Trans Am. This is a factory Lucerne Blue car and a factory 4 speed. It is well-optioned, including the very rare factory cassette player (not the 8 track). It is PHS documented and has a clear title. Great project car.

 It left the factory with the following options:

-AM radio

-front console

-tilt steering

-rear floor mats

-heavy duty battery

-cassette tape player

-custom seat belts

-front floor mats

-Soft Ray glass (all)

-custom interior

 

  Overall, it is quite solid for it's age. It appears to have all of it's original body panels, including the fenders, hood, doors, rear quarters, floors, etc. The frame rails are solid, except for one small hole on the driver's side. The rear body panel is solid as well, but is dented in. It will need some rust repair. There are a few small areas in the floors that need patches, the center of the trunk pan, a small amount in the rear 1/4s, etc. See pics.  I have many more pics available here (click on the link below):

  Currently it has a 1974 Pontiac 400 short block with 6X heads, a TH400 auto trans and a 12 bolt rearend. It is NOT running or driving and will need to be trailered when picked up. Yes, someone did add the T-top cutouts in the roof at some time in the past, but a good body man should be able to replace the roof. I don't think it will need the quarters replaced, just patched.

  You are bidding on everything shown in the pictures, but I do have other parts available at extra cost to the winning bidder. These are parts that I have collected  for this project (but were not included with it when I bought it). Some of these are: 

#197 round port heads, an intake crossover with heat shields,  a '71 3.42 posi rearend, a factory air cleaner and functional shaker, a set of KR Rally II wheels, a blue '71 dash pad, a brand new trunk pan, a new rear body panel, a pair of tail light lenses and a rear bumper core. Maybe a few other things...  Again, these are NOT included with this auction, but are available to the winning bidder.

   I will require a $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end. This can be paid via PayPal. The balance will be due in cash or bank wire transfer within 4 days of auction end. Do not bid unless you can and will follow through.

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.

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."
