1964 Pontiac Bonneville Triple Black Convertible With American Racing Wheels on 2040-cars
1964 Pontiac Bonneville triple black Convertible!
I purchased this car from a Pontiac collector in Tennessee about 2 years ago. He restored the car. If you know me, you know that I will buy a car keep it for a few years and then sell it, and go on to the next one. I don't have storage to keep them all so I have to sell to buy. The car is pretty nice but it isn't a perfect car. It gets a lot of attention and wins awards. I think everyone has a different opinion of condition, and I think I am fairly picky. I will try to present the good and the not so good with the car. I would encourage you to come see the car or call me with specific questions. Please don't bid if you are trying to low ball me because I think it warrants pretty close to the price. If you can find a nicer one, for less money then I would encourage you to buy the car. This Bonneville is 50 years old, it runs and drives excellent. and shows about 98,000 miles but I have no documentation as to the true miles. It has a 389 with an automatic transmission and a 4 barrel carb with an electric choke kit. The engine isn't perfectly clean, but it presents itself very well as does the engine compartment. The car has air conditioning, and I was told it worked, but I have not had it working. I put the top down to get air. All the components seem to be there for it to work, and the compressor is free. I have never explored what the issue is. Perhaps it needs a recharge. The other issue is that the heater doesn't work, nor the blower motor, so maybe it is a power issue of some sort. Again I have not explored the problem, because I don't drive the car if I need heat. The interior has a some what custom soft leather interior in like new condition. It has new carpet and logo floor mats. The steering wheel is cracked, the dash pad is like new. Gauges are clear and work except for the clock which doesn't work and the glass is split. The car also comes with a arm rest/cup holder that sits on the bench seat which is a very nice road trip accessory. All the glass is excellent, the side windows don't roll up as far as they need to make a solid seal. The convertible top is new and is a cloth top similar to what is installed on many of the new cars. It has a glass back window. There are no wrinkles or stains or tears on the top. It comes with the parade boot, which matches the interior upholstery, and it fits very well. The chassis is very clean, and rust free, exhaust is like new. The car has a set of American Racing Wheels with 16 inch tires. Tires have a couple thousand miles on them. The car also comes with the original steel wheels and a nice set of full wheel hubcaps, there are no tires on the wheels. The car has air shocks, and I have had some trouble with them, so I bought a brand new set of Monroe Air Shocks that are still in the box, that come with the car I just haven't gotten them put on yet. The front bumper is excellent, the rear bumper is also very good except for one small spot, that the chrome is getting just a bit thin. The bumpers were re-chromed at some point. The stainless on the car is in excellent condition with only very minor pitting. Much better than most 64 Bonnevilles that I see. The front grill and headlight bezels are excellent. Door handles could shine a bit more. The car has a rust free body, frame, and floor car. The paint is shiny and bright, the body panels are straight, and the gap on the doors, hood and trunk are good. There is one small chip in the passenger side taillight piece about the size of a pencil eraser, you don't see it, unless you look for it. It also has a very small niche in the drivers side front fender right behind the bumper, and again you don't see it unless you know its there. I obviously know they are there. There is also a spot on the hood that the paint must have been spotted in at some point, and it shows if the light hits it right and again if you are looking for it. There is nothing like a black car, that has a straight body, and this car does. The black paint with the black top and black interior is very nice. I have tried to explain the car the best I can, I think it is worth what I am asking. If you have questions call me after 6 and before 9 central time or on the weekend at 815-238-0796 I am located about 100 miles west of Chicago. The car is in storage in my garage and it can stay there until you can arrange for the car to be picked up. I will do everything I can to help make the transportation as easy as possible except I won't pay for transportation. Car is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early if it should sell locally first. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding! |

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

Normally when we write about Omaze sweepstakes, they involve a car that you'd never go out and buy on your own. A six-figure camper van build, a $300,000 Ford Bronco restoration, a Land Rover Defender that's so beautiful it should be in a museum. Today's prize might beat out all of those, because not only could you win a dream car, you'll be entered for a chance to win $100k cash to go along with it. There are a lot of cars you can buy with $100k. You could buy a Land Cruiser Heritage Edition or a Mustang GT500 or 6 Chevy Sparks and start your own racing series. Personally, if I won that kind of dough, assuming I also won this Bentley Bentayga, my favorite of Omaze's current offerings, I'd probably use some of it to buy something quirky, like a Honda Element converted into a pop-top camper, or a restored/upgraded 60 series Land Cruiser. Think that's a terrible way to spend the cash? That's the beauty of it. It is completely up to you. No one can tell you what to do with it.

David Hasselhoff's own KITT replica up for auction
Tue, 08 Apr 2014Depending on when and where you grew up, the name David Hasselhoff likely conjures up images of Knight Rider, Baywatch, pop singer, or possibly a washed-up TV actor, but one thing that can never be taken away from The Hoff is his connection to one of the greatest automotive icons in pop culture. The Knight Industries Two Thousand, usually shortened to simply KITT, was the real star of Knight Rider for many fans. Based on a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, the car combined snarky quips for comedy relief and stunts to provide much of the show's actions. Now, Julien's Auctions is selling Hasselhoff's own replica as part of a larger sale of the actor's personal memorabilia collection.
This recreation is based on a 1986 Firebird and comes with all of the tech on the inside that now seems hilariously outdated, like the yoke steering wheel and plethora of buttons. The interior also thoughtfully includes a voice box with over 4,000 sound clips from the show. With a 5.0-liter V8 and an automatic transmission, performance is likely adequate and period correct. According to the listing, this car was created by fans and given to the Hoff. Sadly, the replica doesn't convert to Super Pursuit Mode like KITT could in later seasons, and we most associate KITT with conventional front-hinged doors to go with the power t-tops and ejector seats.
Bidding currently sits $27,500 with eight bids, since starting at $15,000. Julien's predicts it will sell for between $30,000 and $50,000. If there is some nostalgia for KITT in your heart, there is still plenty of time to bid.
