Modern convertibles with their windshields nearly over your head just don't give you the feel these old convertibles give you. You feel like you're out on a boat ! This is a great daily driver, a couple scratches here and there so you can relax and enjoy it rather than stress over a trailer queen. All it takes is an NBA player with 40,000 to spend on a project and you'll be sure to get your money back out of this car. Buy a modern 20,000 used convertible and lose money. Chrome is excellent. Tires have plenty meat. Top has plenty of life left in it. Stops nice and straight as this was the first year for this model to have front disk breaks. Doesn't smoke or leak. Adult owned always. It came from southern Illinois witch doesn't get much snow. It's a great cruising in car as it gets plenty of attention. Great parade car. If the reserve price is met I'll have the back seat back reupholstered. I just can't invest the money at this time unless I know it's going to be sold. Lost job so I can't have money sitting in it. Rear window is real glass. All glass is good. Top goes up and down and latches perfectly. It's a quick car but never beat on. Check the rear tires they're not burnt down. Engine and drive train is all original but the driver and passenger front seat and carpet was replaced due to mice. I like these seats better. A 1970 Catalina, green, all original interior, looked decent in the pictures sold on ebay last year for about 14000 so I'd expect this to sell close to 10000. AC equipped ! But it doesn't work. A new power steering pump and steering box was installed not because one was needed, the garage just didn't realize the system just needed to be burped. He threw those parts at it till he figured it out. I can deliver this once full payment is received for $2 a mile from Menasha Wisconsin. Text 262.366.0382 if you have other questions. Send me an email at awduff4172 at gmail dot com if you'd like additional specific pictures sent to you.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
