IF YOU'VE STOPPED TO READ THIS......IT'S ALREADY A GIVEN THAT YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO THE UNUSUAL. AND BELIEVE ME........THIS IS UNUSUAL. YOU JUST DON'T SEE THESE ON THE ROAD ANYMORE. I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU THE LAST TIME I SAW ONE ON THE ROAD.......CAN YOU ???

PONTIAC SAVED ONE OF IT'S BEST MUSCLE CARS FOR LAST. THE FIRST GENERATION GRAND AM STARTED OUT TO BE THE GTO FOR THE 1973 YEAR RUN. PONTIAC WANTED SOMETHING UPSCALE......SIMILAR TO WHAT PLYMOUTH HAD DONE........ROAD RUNNER WAS THE MUSCLE.........AND THE GTX WAS THE SAME MUSCLE, BUT WITH ALL THE LUXURY AS WELL. THUS WAS BORN THE GRAND AM. PONTIAC TOOK THEIR PLANS WITH THE GTO AND DECIDED TO UPGRADE THE INTERIOR WITH A LUXURY GRAND PRIX INTERIOR. THE RESULT WAS STUNNING. AN AIRPLANE COCKPIT STYLE DASH WITH SEPERATE GAUGES EVERYWHERE, FOR EVERYTHING. ALL THE POWER , ELECTRIC, AND LUXURY ITEMS AVAILABLE WERE ALL CRAMMED IN THIS MUSCLE CAR. THIS CALIFORNIA CAR WAS EQUIPPED WITH PONTIACS GREAT 400 CID MOTOR AND FLOOR SHIFTED AUTO TRANS. A/C, POWER SEATS, CENTER CONSOLE, GAUGES UP THE WAZOO, DUAL MIRRORS, GRAND PRIX DELUXE STEERING WHEEL, TILT WHEEL AND A BUNCH OF OTHER CRAP. THIS CAR WAS EQUIPPED FROM NEW WITH PONTIAC'S RALLYE WHEELS, AND SUSPENSION HANDLING PACKAGE (SWAY BARS ETC). THIS CAR WAS OWNED BY A LADY UP IN FRISCO. SHE USED IT SPARINGLY FOR YEARS, MOVED OUT TO THE CALIFORNIA HIGH DESERT WHERE THE CAR EVEN GOT LESS USE. SHE DROVE THE CAR HOME ONE DAY, AND LEFT IT SITTING UNTIL SHE PASSED. THE CAR WAS IN STORAGE FOR APPROXIMATELY 13 YEARS. I'M TOLD SHE WAS THE SECOND OWNER. I RESCUED THE CAR, CLEANED OUT THE FUEL SYSTEM, PUT A NEW BATTERY IN IT, AND STARTED HER RIGHT UP, AS IF SHE WAS USED LAST WEEK. THE CAR RUNS AND DRIVES LIKE THE 54K MILE CAR SHE IS. NO SQUEAKS OR RATTLES.....AND SMOOTH. THE CAR IS AN EZ COSMETIC RESTORATION. THE CAR STILL WEARS ITS ORIGINAL BURGENDY INTERIOR, UPOLSTERY, HEADLINER, EVERYTHING. THE INTERIOR CAN BE USED EXACTLY AS IT IS, BUT TIME HAS DONE IT'S DUTY, SO IF YOU WANT HER PERFECT, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BOTTOM WOULD NEED TO BE SEWN (MATERIAL STILL SUPPLE ENOUGH TO REUSE AND RE-STICH), DRIVERS SEAT BACK BEADING SHOWS WEAR. CARPET IS DIRTY, PACKAGE TRAY NEEDS REPLACING, AND THE DASH HAS SOME MINOR CRACKS FROM HEAT. THREE INTERIOR PLASTIC MOULDINGS HAVE PERISHED. MECHANICALLY, I WOULD REBUILD THE CARB TO HAVE IT IDLE BETTER (MAY JUST BE AND ADJUSTMENT OR SOME DIRT), MAYBE PLUG WIRES, AND NORMAL SERVICE YOU WOULD DO WITH ANY USED CAR. TIRES ARE OLD.....HAVE TREAD, BUT YOU'D WANT THE PEACE OF MIND. THE FLOORS AND TRUNK IS SOLID, AS YOU'D EXPECT FROM A CALIFORNIA CAR. THERE IS SOME RUST ON SOME OF THE EXTERNAL PANELS. NONE STRUCTURAL, AND NONE SEVERE........NO NEED TO REPLACE ANY RUSTED PANELS. THERE HAS BEEN BODY WORK PERFORMED ON THE CAR PREVIOUSLY, AND IT HASN'T BEEN THE BEST JOB, SO FIGURE ON SPENDING SOME TIME ON BODY AND PAINT IF YOU WANT TO GET TAKE THE CAR TO SHOWS. AS WITH ALL THESE CARS THE "ENDURA" FRONT BUMPER DISINTIGRATED. I HAVE LEADS ON THE FACIA, GRILLES, HEADLIGHT DOORS AT A REASONABLE PRICE IF INTERESTED. CAR WAS ORIGINALLY SILVER/BURGENDY AND WILL BE A STUNNING COMBINATION WHEN COMPLETE. PLEASE FEEL TO COME BY AND TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THE CAR, AND ASK AS MANY QUESIONS AS YOU LIKE WHILE THE EBAY AD IS ACTIVE. I DO NOT SHOW THE CAR AFTER THE SALE, UNTIL FUNDS ARE IN MY HAND. A TRUE BARN FIND FROM THE END OF THE MUSCLE CAR ERA. AND STILL A STUNNING, DISTINCT SHAPE TODAY. THIS CAR STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA BLUE LICENSE PLATES.

PLEASE NOTE: DEPOSIT IS NON-REFUNDABLE. YOU ARE WELCOME TO INSPECT THE CAR PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF AUCTION. AFTER THE AUCTION FULL PAYMENT WILL NEED TO BE RECEIVED AND PROCESSED BEFORE THE CAR WILL BE TAKEN OUT OF STORAGE FOR FINAL DELIVERY. NO NEGOCIATIONS TAKE PLACE AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE AUCTIONS (SORRY I HAVE TO MENTION THIS.....BUT AN OCCASIONAL , RARE EBAY BUYER, LACKS THE PROPER ETHICS).

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

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.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
