This all original barn find has been in storage since 1997. I dragged it out, power washed the dust off of it, emptied the gas tank, poured in fresh high test and put a battery in it. It ran and drove, but the clutch was shot, probably why it was off the road. i replaced the clutch and it runs and drives.In need of a tune up and oil change. Looks like a very clean body, body work mostly done, a few small spots need finishing. The car is 100% complete, never hot rodded, with original 400 motor, posi rear and 4 speed trans. It comes with build sheet and window sticker from Pontiac factory in Norwood Ohio. Has original rally wheels, but comes with a set of snow flakes, was going to make it a "Smokey and the bandit' replica out of it. The interior is in good shape, only missing carpet and headliner.Interior is useable, needs cleaning,but not perfect, plastic panel are all in good shape.Dash has a crack in the center. Door panels are very clean, but need speakers put in them, someone cut them for speakers. Glass looks good, widows roll up and down with ease, T Tops are clean Hurst Hatch smoked roofs in very good condition. The car needs minor body work finished and final sanding, rubbers for T tops doors and trunk, tune up, exhaust, and passenger floor patched. I cut a floor out of a super clean 78 Firebird, no chinese metal. The underbody is clean, trunk is mint, rust was from the inside t top leaking onto the carpets of the passenger side. Even have the original Pontiac shift knob, t handle not included. Every flare is present in decent shape, every molding present in good condition. This is a project car, needing all that I have outlined, runs and drives, stops well. Sold as is, please call to come look at it close if you like. Call me during normal hours 908-907-2414 Chris. If you win, this is a binding contract, car must be paid in full within 7 days or sooner of auction close, and picked up within 14 days.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

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:
