I am selling my Beautiful 1969 Pontiac Bonneville.  I truly hate to see this go, but my daughter is getting married so this Baby and our Boat have to go.  I have never driven a vehicle that has gotten more attention than this car.  From Corvettes to Camaros, Cadillacs to Chargers, NOTHING has gotten the attention this vehicle demands.  Young and Old.  Everybody loves this car since it is so unique.  I purchased this vehicle in Kentucky a little over a year ago from a gentleman who had it in his family since new.  He gave me receipts that total $25k for all of the upgrades.  I will try to include the highlights.  It has a 400 GTO motor with a Turbo 400 Transmission.  This engine is very strong and runs down the road like a champ. Dual Exhaust that sounds great.  Not too loud, but just perfect.   I recently had my mechanic of 20 years install a new Holley Carburetor.  I can get details from him if anyone wants because I am not a mechanic.  I also put 2 new tires on the front and had the front end aligned.  The rear tires are in great shape.  The Foose Wheels are in Excellent Condition.  Wheels and Tires were about $2800. It has a custom box with Two 12 Inch Subs with Two Amps in the Trunk.  It has a detachable face Stereo/CD Player.  The system sounds great.  I think the gentleman I bought the car from said he paid $3k for the sound system.  All is included with the car.  I am not one of those guys that says, "Here's the Car, if you want everything, it will cost you more".  The AC works.  The top was recently installed before I bought it.  It is in great shape.  The plastic on the cover for the top that "tucks" into the trim is off on the corners as you can see if the two pics.  I have not taken it in to see what that will cost to fix as it did not bother me.  I will try to get some pics with the top up.  It started raining on me so I couldn't keep taking pics tonight.  There is some discoloration in the paint on the driver's side rear quarter panel.  The paint overall is in good shape.  I would say 8.5/10.  Maybe 9.  If you are a serious buyer and have questions, please call at 501-681-4857.  I have it at no reserve so the highest bidder wins.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

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.
