1959 Pontiac Bonneville Sports Coupe, 2-Door Hardtop, 389 V-8 with 4-Speed hydra-matic transmission, 4-BBlL carb and dual exhaust. This Sillicon Valley CA car has 131k original miles on it, it had 124k miles on it when I purchased it in 1994. The Bonnie is very straight and the trim and body line are very good. The car has Power Brakes and Power Steering and lots of power which makes it a pleasure to drive. Frame on reastoration work started shortly after I purchased the car. The engine was completely rebuilt and it now has less than 7k miles on it, it runs great and has plenty of power. The transmission was rebuilt in 2007 to fix excessive leaks and thus has only about 1k miles on it. The seats were reparied/replaced using original Green 3-Tone very rare woven materials. Side panels, padded dash and rear shelf were redone using original Green vinyl materials. The headsliner and the carpet were replaced with materials not original for that car because I was not able to locate the correct ones at that time. However, this does not seem to matter because the interior is stunning and received "Best Interior" award at the Redwood Indian Pontiac show in 1996 (see picture of the award). The trunk floor had some rust and was replaced. Lower quarter panel rust repair was also done prior to car repaint in the white Acrylic Lacquer paint, paint code is GM "CC" (Cameo Ivory). Door and trunk seals were replaced, all glass and seals are the original that came with the car. The car came equiped with a number of options as shown in the attache picture showing the lower portion of the original window sticker. I recently added a trunk light. To my knowlege all options and equipment on the car works well, recently I had to replace the Power Antenna which was broken with another "Casco" unit which appears to have come from an older car. The radio and both front and rear speakers work well. I have noticed that the dash clock does not work. The Bonneville introduced the Pontiac's lasting design language like a split grille, it also gave birth to the Wide Track design, the brand's engineers logically concluded that the wide wheel base provided better stability and in particular better race track performance. This proved to be the case and I am told that this feature contributed much to the Pontiac brand's success in subsequent years. This first Wide Track model was named Car of the Year by the Motor Trend magazine in 1959. The car has remained in the Silicon Valley area since I purchased the car. While in my posesion, it has been garaged and I do not believe that it has ever been in a rain shower. This is a great car that can be driven by anybody because of the power options, it is a pleasure to drive the car. The reason I am selling the car is because I am running out of space on my property. I have purchased several 1960 Chevrolets that I restoring as a hobby. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this auction, I will be happy to provide more information, I do have several digital files of supporting original documents I have that I can forward if desired.

Trans Am Depot teases 2014 GTO
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Here comes the Judge. Court is in session. The verdict is in. How many more tired clichés can we come up with? It hardly seems to matter, because it's happening: Trans Am Depot has announced via the teaser video below that it is launching a 2014 GTO, complete with Carousel Red (bright orange, really) paint and full Judge badging.
The car is based on Trans Am Depot's 6T9 Goat, which, in case you don't get the reverential references, is meant to mimic the look of the 1969 Pontiac GTO. As with the company's other cars -including the 2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am we recently drove - the GTO will be based on the current Chevy Camaro, which means two doors, V8 engines and rear-wheel drive, just like the muscle cars of days past.
As for actual details of what's under the 2014 GTO's hood, we're completely left hanging. We'd expect some sort of power adder (turbo, supercharger or possibly some other form of a highly massaged version of the Camaro's V8), and we certainly know that GM has any number of hi-po crate engines to choose from.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General 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.
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.
