This is an auction for a unique opportunity. What I have is a 1962 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible that is in the process of a full body off restoration that I estimate to be about 85% - 90% complete. Take a look at the pictures and feel free to call me if you would like to ask detailed questions. I have over $35,000 invested in body/paint/engine/trans/parts for the car. I do have a 1962 Bonneville convertible parts car without a title. You are welcome to that as well or any parts from it if I don't sell it before this project sells but you really do not need anything significant to finish the other car. My reason for selling is that I have sold my shop building and don't have any place to complete the car nor any real opportunity because of my job to finish. My loss will truly be someone else's gain.


I have all receipts for the car from the beginning and they will attest to the amount of my investment. All the receipts and history of the car will be given to the winner. The engine is a 1969 428 CID Pontiac four bolt main balanced and blueprinted by a top notch speed shop in Port St Lucie, FL It includes a Offenhauser dual quad intake and two Holley Carbs. The expected horsepower is 575HP. with a brand new T10 Four speed transmission. It has Dual Exhaust aluminized 2 1/2" in diameter. The frame was blasted and painted with Por 15 and every fastener and part was replaced if needed. New body mounts, gas tank all wheel and brake components etc. All body and paint work has been completed by a master local body shop and the car looks great. 

The interior is brand new to original specs. I have all the restored interior with the exception of the drivers side bucket seat which was consumed in a fire. (long story) so you will need to get a different seat and have it upholstered to match. I have the convertible top canvas/pad and all brand new hardware to install. I do not have a rear widow for the top. 
The side moldings on the car are NOS originals except the left front fender and the drivers door. Again please look at the pictures closely and please ask your questions in advance. I can't monitor my email all day but I will get back to you as quickly as I can. The car will have to be trailered so please keep that in mind. You are encouraged to come and see the car for yourself but you will need to set up an appointment to do so.
I have a clear title for the car. The extra parts car does not have a title so it must be used for parts only. I still have plenty of good body parts and the frame so if you wanted to part it out you could recover some of your costs. I'm sure I am leaving something out but not intentionally. Again please feel free to give me a call if you want to discuss any details. Contact me through ebay and I will send you my phone number.

I am not able to offer a warrantee for obvious reasons but you will not be disappointed once you see the car and all the extras that come with it. It could be finished up in a short period of time if you have the place and opportunity to get at it. 
I require a $500 deposit through Paypal within 24 hours of the auction end and the balance within 5 days of the auction end. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs but I will assist you in any way I can. 
The reserve price already represents a considerable loss on my part so please respect that I can't give it away. Also please plan to pick ip up within 20 days unless we have agreed to other arrangements. I did sell my building so I need to have it gone soon. Thanks for looking and reading this entire description and good luck with the auction!  PLEASE ARRANGE YOUR FINANCING IN ADVANCE and PLEASE DO NOT WASTE MY TIME IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO COMPLETE THE SALE. 
THIS IS A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO CASH IN ON ALL MY EXPENSE AND WORK AND ONE THAT MAY NEVER COME ALONG AGAIN.

Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag

Wed, Feb 20 2019

Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."

Junkyard Gem: 2007 Saturn Sky

Sat, Jun 26 2021

The Pontiac Division didn't have long to live when the Solstice first appeared in 2005 as a 2006 model, and Saturn's head was inching toward the chopping block at about the same rate. Still, optimism reigned — at least, it did until the global economy fell apart — and so Saturn Dealers got a rebadged version of the Solstice to sell: the Sky. Available for just the 2007 through 2010 model years, slightly more than 34,000 Skies rolled out of showrooms before the doors were nailed shut. Here's one of those rare cars, found in a Denver-area self-service yard a few weeks ago. I've found a handful of discarded Solstices in car graveyards during the past few years, mostly with crash damage. This Sky endured a medium-hard impact in the right front corner, which sent it to this place. The 177-horsepower, 2.4-liter Ecotec still resides under the battered hood. The Sky Redline version had a turbocharged engine rated at 260 horses; we can assume that such an engine would be yanked and purchased by the first junkyard shopper that realized what it was. The base transmission in the Sky was an Aisin five-speed manual, but this car has the optional five-speed automatic.  The Sky had its own nose and some different badging, but otherwise didn't differ much from the Solstice.  For the South Korean market, the Sky got Daewoo G2X badges and was advertised as the ideal vehicle for high-speed chases through Seoul traffic. The same car went to Europe as the Opel GT. Sadly, GM ran out of money to make right-hand-drive Skies, so we never got to witness Holden or Vauxhall versions. Here's Bob Lutz describing the new Sky. Lutz really hated car names molded into plastic bumper covers, so he takes great care here to describe the genuine glued-on emblems. Related Video:

GM recalling another 2.7 million vehicles in five separate campaigns

Thu, 15 May 2014

The recalls keep rolling in from General Motors, evidently keen to avoid repeating the mistakes of the ignition-switch debacle and clean house. This time they're all coming at once, with five separate recalls announced together covering approximately 2.7 million vehicles.
The largest of the five actions involves over 2.4 million units of the previous-generation Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura in order to fix brake light wiring harness, which have been found to be susceptible to corrosion. The recall is separate from the 56k Aura sedans which GM recently recalled over faulty shift cables, not to mention the previous massive recall of 1.3 million vehicles - some of them the same models - but appears to have resulted from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation that started with the G6 almost a year ago.
The second-largest campaign involves the 2014 Chevy Malibu, specifically those fitted with GM's 2.5-liter engine and stop/start system, approximately 140,000 examples of which has been found to have problematic brakes. The issue does not appear to be connected to the recall of 8k Malibu and Buick LaCrosse sedans (also involving brake woes) which we reported upon last week. Four crashes have been reported in such models, but GM admits it's not yet clear if the problem was a contributing factor in the accidents.
