 This is a real Montero Red Cat and all there… It has a `389 2 barrel with the turbo hydromatic tranny. Just can't get the carb dialed in (manifold is not leaking) however the motor is quiet and strong. I believe it is a numbers matching car. The previous owner had the engine rebuilt and there are receipts for work over the years. The radio is AM-FM with the speaker-rear seat.  Mirror is remote control with a passenger mirror. All glass is good and the windshield was replaced at some time. The tach is factory dash as well as the interior seats. There are front and rear floor mats. Has the factory custom hub caps. Tires are good radials and correct size for the old 825 x 14. One whitewall is scuffed. The top is original and must be replaced. The hydraulic lines are new as well as the cylinders and dash switch. Top works like new. I have a glass window for it however can't say if it will fit in your new top. The paint was redone once and over due for a fresh coat. I have black fender skirts which always look sweet on these big long pontiacs.  There was some bondo work however this cat is not a rust bucket. The frame and floor pan are solid. The driver side floor pan has a small patch. Trunk has surface rust. Suspension and brakes are good. This car is a driver and needs a new owner to invest in it for a good return on the investment or hold and enjoy as I did. We need the garage space so this Cat has to go…. I have lots of pictures and please call me with your questions. 609-220-1120.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General 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.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
