1979 Pontiac Bonneville

24000 original miles. My father bought this car in 1982 with 22000 miles on it. He has only put 2000 miles on since he has had the car. He had several other cars at the time and used this sparingly on the road. He was the second owner. The car has been sitting indoors the majority of its life.

EXTERIOR: The car is burgundy red with lighter red paint. Gold pinstripe accents and lower rocker chrome. The paint is in excellent condition with no pitting or rusting of the chrome bumpers or accent trim.

INTERIOR: Still smells factory fresh new car smell. The interior is red velour seating, red dash, red carpet... all red inside. The headliner has started to sag some on the drivers side but otherwise in excellent condition. There is one small wear on the drivers upper seat where the velour has rubbed off. Dash is not cracked or split at all. Has the original 8 track radio still in dash. Seats are power as well as doors, windows, and locks. Cruise equipped but not sure if it is functional. The GM cruises always seemed to have a habit of the lever switches going bad. Same as the A/C goes. It seemed to be blowing cool air but a change over to 134A would probably help. Is equipped with power brakes and steering.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION : This is a bit of a rarity I have been told. Most of these cars were equipped from factory with the 301 engine. This has the optional 350 engine. Buick 350 I believe is what it is according to vin tag and window sticker. The carb has been freshly rebuilt ( paperwork to show). The car sounds great, very healthy engine but wouldn't hurt with a nice change of plugs, wires, cap and rotor. The transmission is an automatic and shifts like new with no slippage.

TIRES: Tire have little if any wear on them. However... they are close to 30 years old. They show no signs of cracking or splitting. The rims are the modular wire chrome aftermarket rims, but the original steel rims and hubcaps are included with the car if you wish them.

EXHAUST: The only thing needing here is a mid-pipe, possibly muffler and tailpipe. The pipe from the back of the converter to the muffler had perforated rust holes. I am only saying it needs a cat back system because usually the muffler and tailpipe are damaged when removed from the pipes. All depends how careful you are.

The car is drivable and roadworthy for local driving , but with the age of the tires and the exhaust system being in the condition it is... use your own discretion. I would feel safer it being trailered...but that is your decision.

Car is sold AS IS!!! No warranty or guarantee is provided. If you wish more info or pictures feel free to contact me.

I do not accept cashier check or money orders. I have been burned on the past with counterfeit on both of these. Pay pal or cash is best. If paid with a check, the car will be held until payment has cleared usually 10-14 days.

Please do not contact me to end the sale early with your bid. Let the auction run its course.

Good luck and happy bidding.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.

Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

NASCAR 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.
