1968 Gto 3 Speed Manual, Low Option Car. Restoration Project. on 2040-cars
Petal, Mississippi, United States
I bought this as a project car in February and I don't have time right now to restore it. The original listing was number 331128547525. We have had a lot of rain in Mississippi and I will post pictures later today. The frame is exceptionally solid. The body is solid with the exception of the rear passenger's side quarter panel and it would be best to have it replaced. The trunk floor has pin holes in it and would best to be replaced. I threw away the three speed transmission because it did not belong to the car and would not work. I don't have the driveshaft because I forgot to pick it up when I picked up the car. The engine is from a 1967 big pontiac car and was a 400 ci. 290 horsepower unit. It was freshly rebuilt and never started. Water had gotten down into the cylinder and the surface rust is a little too deep in two cylinder walls and it needs to be bored with new pistons. I have the flywheel and clutch assemblies which are new. It was a 4 speed car and the pedals and Z bar are included. I have no rear bumper or taillights. I do not have the front valance or turn signals. All of the hideaway light system is present but needs two new actuators. I have applied for a bonded title and should receive it in 2 weeks. Again, look at item number 331128547525 to see the original listing and pictures from how I received the car. email for any questions. 200.00 dollar deposit in 48 hours and full payment in 7 days.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
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.
This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What 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.
