=> 1999 Pontiac Grand Am For Pick-up :) on 2040-cars
Glasco, New York, United States
|
Hello! For sale is a silver 1999 Pontiac Grand Am SE sedan. I have owned this car for about 7 years with no issues until a few months ago. Some information you'll want to know:
# The battery is only about 2 years old, but the car hasn't been started daily since I took it off of the road. Life happens! It needs at least a jump, or at most a new battery to get running again. If not, you'll have to tow it...sorry :( # When it is up and running, the cabin gets VERY loud - deafening. Either a muffler or maybe something exhaust resonator related? I don't know, I'm not a car guy...but it does sound awful. This is why I took it off the road. # The windshield is cracked along the bottom. The hood latch broke, and the hood came up while I was driving and smacked the windshield. Windshield has some cracks but it doesn't leak, and it withstood quite a few inches of heavy ice and snow accumulation this winter with no problems. The hood is currently held in place by bungee cables. # Since the battery is currently dead, I can't see the electronic odometer. It's definitely in the ballpark of about 200,000 miles though, either just barely before or just after. I'll be the first to admit that the car isn't pretty, but it was my baby for a long time. The hood is jacked up, the front bumper is cracked good, the front of it is straight-up ugly. If you're concerned, a new hood and a Le Bra will make it look worlds better than it does now. All or most of its service receipts are in the glove compartment, it always had regular oil changes and the tires weren't even a year old when I took it off the road. They still have plenty of tread! The car is very clean on the inside and out and has barely any rust. No funny smells in the cabin, upholstery looks great, and it even comes with some faux leather seat covers. Once the muffler/exhaust issue is fixed, it will be the comfortable, powerful ride I always knew it to be. I hope someone will enjoy this car as much as I have :) Looking for only about $800, to cover a successful listing fee on eBay and taking into account the age, mileage, and general ugliness of the car. Also, I know it is inconvenient to have to tow it away or get a new battery for it if you have to. |

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Watch as Hot Rod goes from El Paso to LA the hard way
Tue, 21 Feb 2012There are few things simultaneously more romantic and idiotic than taking a road trip in a beaten-down heap of a car. Trust us. We know. David Freiburger and Mike Finnegan of Hot Rod Magazine fame recently undertook an epic trip from El Paso, Texas to Los Angeles with the express goal of doing so for under $1,500, including the purchase price of a vehicle, food, lodging, repairs and, most importantly, fuel. With this in mind, the duo settled on a 1972 Pontiac Catalina for a lofty $650. Hilarity ensues.
Realizing that no one actually wants a Catalina sulking around the shop, Freiburger and Finnegan put the car up for auction on eBay Motors the instant they had the title in hand. By the time they rolled into Hot Rod HQ, the vehicle sold for a little over $500.
The video is part of a new series called Roadkill that should document similar adventures. Keep your eyes peeled for more calamity-soaked clips in the near future. In the meantime, hit the jump to check it out yourself.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
