This vehicle has been documented from day one, literally down to wiper blades and oil changes. Photos of paperwork are included in the 87 pictures at the link at the top and bottom of this listing. This vehicle is numbers matching (body panels/windows/wheels/drivetrain). The car has had a previous restoration so the paint is not original, but still in real nice shape. There is no rust under this vehicle and very little rust overall, the worst spot being behind the drives side rear wheel (picture in link). The quarter panel can easily be saved if you choose to fix but it never really bothered me enough to respray. The car is garage kept (and always has been) so it does not see water besides washes. Rocker panels are very good and other general problematic areas are solid as well.

The engine runs very well and starts right up, even on cold says. Transmission shifts smoothly and all gauges work as they should. No leaks, no burning oil, fluids are correct. Recent documented tuneup, brakes,tires and cat converter. This car passed NJ inspection with no problems and is still currently inspected.  Interior is in very nice shape as well. Period correct Kenwood cassette player has been installed as well as period correct pioneer speakers and amplifier. This is a 4 speaker option car. Radio can be converted back to original with ease as all wiring is still oem and correct. I will include the oem rear speaker grills as well with the sale.

The only thing this car really needs is a new belt for the Air Conditioning, Inner hood insulation some new weather stripping for doors (do not leak, just getting old) and a new front right bumper grill as it had cracked when I was washing the car. All in these parts will cost you about $200 to $300 depending on if you get them new or used. The car has a clean title and it is in hand with no liens. If you are looking for a great show winning car that you can drive every weekend and enjoy the way a muscle car is meant to be enjoyed, this is the one for you. It is garage kept, but not a garage queen. 

Hagerty rates these cars in very fair/poor condition at just under 10k to upwards of 40k in perfect condition. The insurance appraiser put this car right around 22k, as it was repainted and has small body issues, but remains all original in all other aspects ad far as body/interior and drivetrain. I am listing the car for only 7000 with no reserve!

My name is Steve and I can be contacted anytime with questions at 908-361-3616 or via ebay message. I can send you any pictures you need or any information you may want, that way you are comfortable bidding. HERE!

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.
