For sale I have my wifes 1997 Pontiac Bonneville SSEI Supercharged, with 3.8 Liter (3800 Series), V6 engine and automatic transmission. This car runs good and has roughly 144,000 miles on the car, give or take some miles. The car still is driven a few times per week, so mileage is not exact. This car is PA inspected, has nice alloy wheels, nice tires, factory dual exhaust, spoiler, paint is in super shape, body is solid, no paint fade, no paint peel, no rust. The exterior on this car is as close to mint as you can get for a 1997 car. Its not 100% flawless but its pretty darn close. The interior is very nice, has leather, and is loaded with basically every single option you can have, also has the heads up display on the dash. Has power seats, door locks, windows, air conditioning, power sunroof, shift options for the tranny, so forth. The leather is good, the drivers seat has some cracking on the bottom and some wear but thats about it. The car runs great, has a newer battery, fresh oil change, the a/c compressor is noisey but the a/c does work good. Our mechanic says the compressor will eventually need replaced but it does make some noise. The transmission is a bit sketchy, the fluid is dirty and I'm assuming the filter probably would need changed too, it shifts erratic sometimes or shifts late and hard at times, sometimes seems to slip a bit. It could just need flushed or the fluid and filter changed, or a band adjustment, maybe a rebuild. I'm not a transmission guru so I don't know exactly what it needs to work right. It does get driven locally here or there but thats about it now. Anyone buying this car, I would recommend trailering the car on a trailer or towing it if you plan on going any real distance. If you buy the car and decide to drive it away, do so at your own risk. I can't make any mileage guarantee on how far the car would go without giving you transmission issues, it may go 10 miles, it may go 50, I don't know for sure. I can say it has been reliable other than the transmission issue now, it was my wifes car and I can say it was never abused or beaten while we've had it. I replaced the steering column in the car due to the fact that we lost the keys last summer and the local dealer couldn't make a match for it. Due to this, we can't lock the doors or open the trunk, so you would need to have door and trunk key made. My wife has battled cancer for 3 years and racing and abusing cars is not her thing. We have 4 cars and can't afford to put all kinds of money into this one, otherwise, we could keep it. Its probably one of the nicest cars we have ever had as far as used cars. This car is sold as is, where is, you are responsible to pick the car up here. There are no warranties on this car, and I do recommend the car be towed but its your call. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit on the car, and the car must be picked up and paid for in full within 7 days of auction ending. I accept paypal and cash. Ask any questions and do your research before buying. Thank you for looking!

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, 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.
