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.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR 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.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
