up for sale is a 1966 pontiac bonneville sport coupe. i don`t know a whole lot about it i`m afraid. it has been sitting for two years and it used to run GREAT and sounded awesome, very powerful sounding. when my hubby just tried the engine it wouldn`t start, it just coughed and bucked if you know what i mean (i`m not a very technical girl, LOL) and he said the gas smells really bad. my hubby said that it needs to have the gas tank and so on flushed out and fresh gas put in, new spark plugs and so on. heres some very technical stuff he said i had to mention. the engine is a YF code which is 325 horse power according to what he found online. everything under the hood is original apart from an EDELBROCK manifold with a HOLLEY carburetor and HEADERS whatever they are!? and it has ELECTRONIC IGNITION. the car it has power steering. it used to have factory installed a/c but the compressor? is missing now and it has power brakes. apparently the bucket seats are very rare. we think the mileage of 97,000 miles is original but do not know for certain and have no way of telling. the floors are rusted in a few spots but they are still mostly very solid, the passenger front is the worst and will need to be fixed pretty soon. and there is rust in the trunk floor that was fixed years ago. there are some areas in the lower parts of the car that have been fixed years ago as well, my hubby said the rear window aperture will need some repair pretty much right away in his opinion, check out the pictures. there is a correct 66 steering wheel and column with the car to replace the wood steering wheel, which i think is kinda cool and racy looking. the ignition keys are long gone and the switch is out of the dash. my hubby said he had to 'hotwire it' which sounds very criminal to me, LOL. i have a clear title in hand but the car is LOCATED in GREENVILLE SOUTH CAROLINA at our other house. my ebay is address is listed as virginia and i can`t seem to change it, why is that mr ebay??? the car is going to need some work to be drivable on the highway again but it looks great and is worth putting a little time and effort into. they just don`t make cars this cool anymore!. the front bumper is bad and will need to be replaced. none of the power windows want to work, just some sort of buzzy noise when you press some of the buttons. the tires are cracking on the sides. all the carpets are out so a buyer can see all the floor pans, the carpets were no count anyway. we can take any pictures of any part of the car you like, just ask. we encourage buyers to come and check this car out in person, just call to make an appointment. we will help you to ship this car anywhere it needs to go and have already sent old cars to sweden, england and australia. to sum this one up its a very cool looking car but its still a project that you could get running and restore as you go so to speak. you will NOT be driving this car home, it will need to be trailered or whatever. my dad had LOTS of old cars mainly from the 1930`s and 40`s but he had many others of different years, he really loved old cars. right now we are clearing everything out but please remember we are NOT experts on this stuff so please ask questions before you buy and we will do our best to answer, if you need more pictures just ask. we have lots of other old car items listed right now for cadillac, lincoln, packard et cetera and will be listing more cars soon so please check our other old car auctions out. shipping overseas is no problem but please email for a shipping quote. if you want to phone you can call my hubby on 864 616 6860 up until 10 o`clock at night eastern time.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
