Clarington, Ohio, United States

 '96 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi. 3.8 supercharged V6 L67 engine. RARE factory deleted rear spoiler!  Runs strong. Transmissions works and shifts perfect! Engine has a coolant leak at the plastic elbow connector. It may also have a lower intake manifold leak. I say may because I have noticed condensation in the oil cap along with small droplets of what looks like the orange dex-cool antifreeze, also in the cap, however I never did a pressure test. The driver side axle boot has a split in it, but I have a new axle for it, which will be included. Small rust area over the left rear quarter and two small dents in left front fender. Underneath the car is clean and solid. Brake lines are all solid. Rear air leveling system works well and looks like all the struts may have been replaced at one time. The automatic climate control is stuck in the default position, which is floor and defrost, but the heat and air work. Great eight speaker CD sound system! Interior is clean. Leather seats are in good condition with only minor normal cracking hear and there, but no splits. Sun roof works perfect and no leaks. It also has the Heads Up Display in windshield.
Has brand new Michelin Hydro Edge tires, new front rotors with new ceramic brake pads. New rear brake shoes and wheel cylinders. New nose drive on the supercharger. Hood was repainted due to the clear coat peeling. It was painted to the exact paint code listed, but is just a very slight more blue than the old paint. As was explained to me, this is due to there may have been a different "alternate" used at the factory. The difference is very slight and depending how the sun hits it, barely noticeable. I thought it was worth mentioning just so there's no hidden surprises. The rest of the paint is in very good condition!
I have described everything I can think of as best as I can. Be sure to ask any questions. With a little more TLC, this will be a really nice car. My intentions was to do that, but my time doesn't permit right now and I hate to see it just sit. Car sold AS IS!

eBay Find of the Day: 1967 Pontiac GTO Monkeemobile

Sun, 29 Apr 2012

Say what you will about The Monkees, but the guys in the band had great taste in automobiles. Take the Monkeemobile, for example. Built off a 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible, the custom featured genuinely interesting bodywork and some wild engine bolt-ons. If you're a fan of 1960s pop and yearn to relive the genre's glory days, eBay Motors may have what you need. A recreation of the 1967 Monkeemobile has showed up for auction. This particular replica was built by Dakota County Customs using an four-speed GTO, just like the original.
Built for the band's 45th anniversary and the final Monkees tour last year, this Monkeemobile is faithful down to every last detail. Unfortunately, the trumpet exhaust poking out of the front fender wells and the massive gold-flake blower are for show only. Seems fitting.
If you like what you see, this machine is up for bid in Richfield, Minnesota with two days left on the auctions. So far, bidding as whipped up to $60,000 with the reserve not met. Head over to eBay Motors to have a look.

General Motors has announced another set of recalls, covering some 2.42 million cars in the United States. For those keeping track, The General has now recalled over 15 million cars worldwide this year due to various issues.
Here's the breakdown for this most recent set of recalls:
1,339,355 - Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia models from the 2009 to 2014 model years; Saturn Outlook models from the 2009 to 2010 model years

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
