HO HO HO Christmas Just Came Early! Look what was hiding in my neighbor’s garage, a MINT, 1970 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible in near mint condition! (If it were not for the dent in the drivers rear fender where someone leaned on it too hard, this car would be nearly perfect!) One of my neighbors inherited this BEAUTIFUL piece of Muscle Car history from his grandfather, who he believes was either the original owner, or the 2nd owner, either way he owned it for over 30 years and always kept it in his garage: AND IT SHOWS!!! This car is SPECTACULAR inside and out. I cannot see one spot of rust ANYWHERE, not on the outside, under it, in the floor pans: NO RUST ANYWHERE! This is by far one of the cleanest, most beautiful pieces of American Pontiac History I have ever seen! You will NOT find a cleaner used muscle car on e-bay: GUARANTEE IT! O, and did I mention it’s a RAG TOP! So yes, when you are cruising the town showing off your AWESOME sounding 455 muscle car, you can pop the top and watch their jaws drop! This car is a stunner and would not need much to be a show winner! They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, so I have included a bunch of great ones, but I wonder what a video is worth: PRICELESS! Watch the videos below then give me a call if you are ready to own this beautiful rag top! Let’s go over a few details: Green paint appears to be the original paint. (I just had a 40 year paint and body expert come and inspect the car and he says it’s the original paint and could not even find a spot where it might have been touched up! He said the dent on the rear quarter could easily be popped out but might leave a small blemish in the paint, so we are going to let the new owners do it!) Inside of the car is amazing as well and shows like a car with only 86,000 original miles should: BEAUTIFUL! No rips are tears anywhere. Just look at the truck floor pan, PERFECT SHAPE! Under the hood the 455 looks and sounds awesome, it could use some black paint touch up and replace the inner fender mud guards, but looks great as well! Top is in MINT condition and works perfect! O, and its electric, hit the switch and she comes right down! This car has NOTHING to hide, it’s the real deal, so if you are ready to own this beautiful piece of muscle car history, call me before someone beats you to it. This is a NO RESERVE auction, so car will sell, but I do have a BUY IT NOW price that I will ONLY discuss over the phone, so if you are serious about owning this car call me today at: 815-904-9447, you will not be disappointed, she is a real beauty!!!

Watch the videos then call me:

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.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
