1994 Pontiac Grand Prix Se Coupe 2-door 3.1l Factory Turbo, May Be Collectable on 2040-cars
Carlyle, Illinois, United States
The good: 1994 Prix with a 1990 Prix STE factory intercooled turbo 3.1 engine (with top gun power chip), and transmission. Will do 1/8 mile in 9.12 sec. fairly new tires with factory honey cone rims, sun roof, and a navigator (also out of a 1990 STE). Boost gauge, runs and shifts fine.I had the engine,wiring harness PCM and transmission installed 8 yrs. ago and been driving as my main vehicle,and is fun to drive because of turbo boost effect.Gas mileage average 24, highway 32. The not so good: AC does not work has leak, no anti-lock brakes,has been removed to fit turbo. has regular vacuum booster brakes. hood has dents, driver door also has dent, clear coat coming off on top of car the spoiler, and fender flairs. Has a crack in the dash. Head liner falling,passenger sun visor has fabric hole. ,Doesn't use oil but if idling, smokes out of tailpipe. Has always did this since turbo was replaced eight yrs ago, radio works but power antenna wont go down,and other small items .Has rust problems by gas tank filler door,under door seals. But the worst is the rear swing arm mounting brackets.They are rusted as you can see in pictures, I'm still driving this car myself but I'm saying this rust area could makes this unsafe to drive. Can this be fixed? Maybe.Its a shame Pontiac didn't do a better job in this area for rust protection. .Can show more pictures if needed.Buyer will be responsible for shipping.I am not responsible for any accidents.Buyer will sign a waiver.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General 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.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
