WINTER SPECIAL... tried selling this car during the summer and went unsold.  Had a few offers for over $12,000 back in June and I passed them up.  Since then I have had about three or four offers during Aug and Sept for $10,000 and passed them up too.  Well now its November and the car isn't sold.  My loss is your gain.  RESERVE IS SET AT $10,000.  Seriously folks this is a freakin steal.  Best deal you've seen all year... i can almost guarantee that. 

Up for auction is my 1999 Pontiac TransAm Firehawk.  Its a black convertible with tan leather and a manual 6 speed transmission.  Car has pretty low milage of 74,500.  Not too many Firehawk convertible's out there, pretty rare car.  This car just had $1000 worth of bodywork done to it.  Make no mistake it did NOT need it but i like having my stuff super clean.  Three or four door dings were taken out, along with a rock chip on the hood (hood ended up getting completely re-painted) and some rub marks on the rear fascia were removed.  I'm saying this car has show room paint because it does.... swirl marks completely gone.  Completely new repainted hood.  You will have to see the car to believe how good the black paint looks.  It was a california car its whole life and had an easy salt-free life.  Still has a California title as I drove the car back from California last year and has been sitting ever since.  Very clean car, runs and drives great. 

Engine:  100% factory; Starts right up; runs like new with only the SLP lid mod on the air intake

SLP options:  Auburn Performance Differential

Exterior:  Paint is flawless; new bodywork just completed, not a single swirl mark on the car... immaculate... seriously...

Wheels/tires:  Tires will need to be replaced within the next 20,00 im guessing

Sound:  Aftermarket sound system with a custom made subwoofer box that doesn't take up trunk space and allows convertible top to close. Two amps: Boss 250watt for the two 6.5" kicker subs; 1600w 4-channel amp for the two JL Audio component speakers(very nice) up front and the two massive audio speakers(slim fit for the convertible mechanism) in the rear

Interior:  Leather is great, clean, visors need replaced as the cardboard inside them and worn

Make sure you watch the youtube video of it.  Ebay won't let you directly paste the link anymore so you will have to get on youtube and search "1999 Pontiac Firehawk Convertible startup / interior / walk around" copy and paste that title... It should be the first link that pops up and my user ID is sgilbertt.  I did a walk-around and a startup of the car worth watching.


That pretty much sums it all up!  The pictures don't do the car justice.  Come see it and test drive it if you like. Email me or call me at

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi

Sat, Jun 19 2021

The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.

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.

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?
