Here is a package deal for all you pontiac fans out there!! Two cars for the price of one. The two cars are as follows- White catalina VISTA or four door hardtop. 93k on car. Picked up a few years back out of illonios as a roller. I did find out motor was full of water and junk, trans looks like its full of water too by the fluid color. Nice options on car, outer body good, needs usual floor and trunk work, glass is good. missing drivers door panel. Title in hand.  Second car is Starchief sedan.   This one is loaded with options as most starchiefs were. This is a western car and is pretty solid. Has been wrecked judging by rear end. This car is also a all original car with 30k on it. Missing tie rod on pass side and worse rust in on drivers side rear where quarter was replaced....poorly, passenger side is beat up. I love 60 pontiacs, have had several in the past and have tons of parts for these cars also. Just need to focus on other things in my life now and you know how it goes. Dont want to sell but cant enjoy them just sitting there not getting any attention either. I can answer more questions over the phone or by email. I work 12 hour shifts so time is short during the week. Weekends are open usually. Yes i know these are 4 door cars but still, in this era they are still cool and affordable. By all means u got a two door or know of one ill trade  for a coupe in decent shape. Not holding my breath tho. Have titles for all and extra parts for extra money, including a vintage aluminum offenhauser tri power intake minus carbs and thermostat housing, and a NOS MINT condition Tri Power air cleaner for the 347-389, as well as a complete running 389 out of a different starchief, with trans. Car had 70k miles and ran and drove when pulled two yrs ago, and it ran great, car was too far gone to save. Plan was to put that in the white vista since the original motor was junk. If interested i do have the original block for the vista but cannot claim it is uncracked and useable. I did pull it out for disassembly and it was bad inside. Everything was rusted solid. Can call after 6pm my time(nebraska-central) week days or wait till weekend. Call Tom at 308-750-3571, leave message if no answer and will try to reply to emails soon as i can, so please be patient. THANK YOU and must have a feedback of 7 or more, sorry but too many tire kickers or what not. This is not a game or fantasy ebay!! Its for real so do the same. Buyer responsible for shipping, can store cars for a reasonable amount of time as long as cars are paid for. They are currently stored inside and can remain that way. Immediate deposit of 500.00 required with remainder payed within 7 days. Will work with serious buyers, like a 50 50 split, for example half paid for up front and half on pick up ect. BUT none is refundable for any reason so be prepared to follow through with transaction.

GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case.

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful

Thu, Mar 24 2016

What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
