PLEASE READ WHOLE PARAGRAPH BEFORE YOU BID..This auction is for a white 1999 Pontiac Montana Van with a clear title on hand that seats 7. It has one manual sliding door and one automatic sliding door. I believe the transmission went out on it over a year ago so I went to a junk yard and paid for another transmission...that transmission is STILL sitting in the trunk of the van...I havent had the time or money to pay for someone to take out the old transmission and put in the one I bought to replace it....the battery is dead from sitting so long (but it is a fairly new battery) but with a good charge it will crank up( We tried it this morning) but it will need a good full charge ...( I can put it on a charger overnight the day before pickup) its been several months since I last attempted to drive it...and last I tried to... it does still drive but it wont let you get too far before the transmission tries to act up again. Last time I drove it was to the DMV to get plates for it, I got all the way there with no problem, but on my way back it started acting up and then would only work in reverse .I had someone pick me up and when we came back prepared to tow it we found that it decided that it wanted to work again so I was able to drive it home...very confusing symptoms this van has to say the least...so I would like to sell the van including the extra transmission thats in the trunk to someone who not only needs a bigger vehicle but who can either fix it themselves or can afford to pay someone to put the other transmission in it if needed..if I had the time or money to fix a vehicle...I would fix the van for myself. For all I know the transmission in it may be just fine and I just dont know enough about cars to know what to do to repair it. The van has 152,024 miles on it currently..in addition to the transmission these are the only other things that I know are wrong with the van (there could be other things that I am unaware of): 1) sometimes the sliding door doesnt want to stay shut, it will close and then open right back up and I have to keep pushing the button to get it to finally stay closed. (I bought a few switches to replace it with from the junk yard as well). 2) There is a scratch/dent along the side of the van where my dumb behind thought I could squeeze between the van and the privacy fence with a riding lawn mower and the grass catcher on the back of the mower rubbed against the van, 3)passenger front power window will not roll down (bought switch for that as well at junk yard, all switches are in the van and included in this auction) 4) A/C needs to be recharged from sitting. 5) Cooling fan has been rigged to work by a mechanic friend of mine, he did it to save me from having to spend money I didnt have at the time to fix the fan. 6) There are some stains on some of the seats. Van being sold AS IS with NO RETURNS. I have listed all the things that I am aware is wrong with it and have purchased all items to repair or replace them with USED from a junkyard so there is no warranty on those either. The motor was overhauled/rebuilt about a year and a half before the transmission went out on me. Has decent tires.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap
Tue, 30 Sep 2014Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
