1988 Pontiac Sunbird convertible 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo with 31,824 original miles. She's old but not tired!! My parents bought this car brand new in 1989 and never drove it in the winter; it has always been stored under cover. I bought this car from them two years ago and have never put it on the road although I have started it monthly. Thought I wanted it but turns out differently. The car is in good working condition; runs fine and the interior is in very nice condition as can be seen by the photos. The only thing not original is the back window which my father had replaced about six years ago. The engine runs great and it is a very snappy car when you step on the gas; can definitely tell and hear when the turbo kicks in!! There are a few flaws with the car including some cracked plastic around the seat belt components, a couple dings in the body, the lettering "Pontiac" has aged and broken off from the front of the car, the seals around the windows do show cracking etc. My father also noticed a few years back that there was some water on the floorboard when he had it outside in the rain for a day or so and while he couldn't track the leak down, he believes it could have been running in from the seal around the hood; I don't know and I've never had it out in the rain. I can tell you that when I washed it, I did not notice any water enter anywhere. Anyway, that's about it; I have no idea what the car is worth and was unable to find any like it on my internet searches. I did find two red ones on auto trader but they were a year newer with over 100,000 miles and not in as good condition selling for (not sold) $3,000. I'm sure my starting price is a bit high but I'm willing to take serious offers. I do have the car for sale locally and if it sells, I reserve the right to end this auction early. I can say that I'm fortunate enough to not have to sell this car and have no problem putting it back in the garage for storage if necessary so please, no lowball offers. If there's a winning bidder, that bidder is responsible for arranging for and paying for pickup if it is not a local pickup. Any questions, feel free to ask; I'd be more than happy to take additional photos if necessary.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General 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.
