 You're bidding on my 1964 Pontiac Lemans convertible. It has a 326 v-8 with an automatic transmission (column shift). This was a barn find that I purchased several years ago, hoping to restore it, but it has been sitting in my driveway since I've had it as I've done nothing to it. It is a factory Saddle Bronze color with a Saddle interior and Black top. The car appears to be complete as you can tell in the pictures, but it does have some significant rust in the floors, trunk floor, lower fenders, quarter panels and doors. The doors sag and rub the front edge of the quarter panels. There are some areas in the frame that have some rust-thru as well. The right front tie rod sleeve is broken so the R/F tire does not steer. It has the taillight assemblies and the gas filler door trim that still has the handle on it. The power top pump, cylinders, hoses & switch are still in place. I have the keys to it, but I've never tried to turn the engine over. This would make a great parts car with the complete convertible trim pieces and interior panels, or it could be restored or cloned into a GTO convertible, with extensive work. Although the ad says there is a salvage title, I do not have a title for this car. The guy I bought it from promised me a clear title but I never got it. The auction does not include the two 15" Rally II wheels - they will be replaced with roller tires & wheels. Please ask any questions before bidding. If you would like pictures of specific areas, provide me with your email address and I can forward them to you.  Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements & costs. A $500 non-refundable PayPal payment is due from the winning bidder within 48 hours after the auction ends. The remainder is to either be paid in cash at the time of pick-up or by certified bank check, but the car will not leave my premises until my bank has assured me that the funds have been safely deposited.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
