I recently bought this car to restore. Recent changes in finances has taken this dream away. The reason I purchased this was because of the lack of rust. I looked at quite a few Grand Am vehicles and none came close to this on as far as the condition of the body is concerned. The inside of the doors & door seams look like new as does the inside of the rear quarters and front fenders. The quarters and front fenders look very good from the outside also. Very minimal surface rust on right rear quarter. The trunk floor is rock solid with very little surface rust inside. The hood and front fenders are near perfect. The front and back bumpers are very solid with minimal surface rust. The only disappointment is the rear lip area of the trunk. I am not sure why it rusted there but as you can see from the pics, it will need some work. The inside of the trunk lid is solid. The floor is solid except for rust from the inside on front drivers and passengers pans. The underside of the pans are great. They are somewhat solid but should be replaced.This car was rust-proofed when new. The rest of the inside of the car is virtually rust free. The seats have been re-upholstered but it looks like they were dome very inexpensively. I think they just sewed new material onto the existing front. They should be re-done correctly. The door panels are not correct, They are tan and have been dyed. Not a good job at all but can be re-done correctly. The lower portion of the door panels are not correct. Thus car has power windows and the panels are for manual windows. The lower panels are pretty easy to find. The headliner is good except in the front where it came off the taping that holds it in place. I think it can be re-taped. Both power windows work. The drivers window is loose in the track but does function. The carpet is like new. As far as I can tell all electrical works fine I know very little about the engine and driveline. I confirmed that it is matching # engine 400 2BBL. It did start right up cold at 10 degrees when I took it off the trailer. I drove it 1 block to my garage and have not started it again. It does have an exhaust leak on the passenger side manifold. The previous owner decided he wanted headers on the car and attempted to take off the manifold without using heat. He busted three of the bolts before giving up. I can feel the bolt ends so they should come off with heat when the manifold is taken off. I changed the oil and antifreeze and will drain the old gas next and add new non corn gas before starting it up again. there is some surface rust in the engine compartment but not too bad. It is where the original rustproofing on the fender wells let go.The air conditioning compressor is gone. Other than that it all looks stock. The nose piece is fiberglass (not the original Rubber) and needs some fiberglass repair. The front grills are missing and the hood cable is broken. The Wheels are original and look good. Two of the center caps are missing, the trim rings are nice and the tires are new. The spare is original and the jack is included. That is about all I can tell you as I have not had a chance to drive this and living in ice cold WI says I probably will not any time soon. I think this car could go to paint without hardly any body work needed. The interior, engine compartment and trunk areas would be very easy to make nice too. $500.00 non refundable deposit to be paid via paypal within 48 Hours of end of auction. The rest to be cash and the car to be picked up within 14 days after end of auction. I reserve the right to end the auction early if sold locally. Please do not bid unless you intend to buy it. No guarantees come with this car. It is going on 39 years old and will need some work. Please email or call with questions. I will do my best to answer them.

This GTO-El Camino mashup is the muscle truck of our dreams
Fri, Aug 31 2018There were a hell of a lot of great muscle cars in the mid-1960s, from the baroque Dodges and Plymouths of the earlier part of the decade to the wild big boys like the Boss 429 and Olds 442 W30. Right in the middle of the decade, two of the most iconic of the bunch emerged — the Pontiac GTO and second-generation Chevy El Camino. And this one is a 1964 Chevy El Camino with the heart and face of its GTO cousin, and dubbed the El Chieftain GTO. It's currently for sale at RM Sotheby's Auburn auction, with no reserve status or estimate listed. This looks like a product that Pontiac could have sold at the time — its builder, Ron Lindeman, did an excellent job making it look like a factory product, right down to the taillight strakes inspired by the GTO. It's powered by a 389 — a Pontiac motor that was actually found in period GTOs, but sporting a single four-barrel instead of the sexy Tri-Power setup. It is, however, equipped with a Hurst four-speed manual and the grille badge to prove it to bystanders. Even the interior is made up to look like a GTO. We wish there was more of a description of the build in the listing, but if you love it, do us one better and buy the thing and invite us to poke around it. We are very much in love with this muscle-truck mashup.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Autoblog Classifieds finds: 1987 Pontiac Fiero GT
Tue, May 15 2018Autoblog's free Readers' Used Car Classifieds section is a great place to list your car for sale, and because these are readers, they often list really interesting cars. Occasionally we find interesting listings, and tell you what's special about them. This 1987 Pontiac Fiero was listed for sale at the time of this writing, but if the listing expires by the time you read this, feel free to browse for other great finds. Thirty years after General Motors stopped building it, the Pontiac Fiero might have finally emerged from the darkness. First, it was a humble commuter car that just happened to be a mid-engined coupe, then it was a re-skinnable basis for Fierorraris or other slightly strange kit cars, and then it made some Worst Cars of All Time lists due to its econobox ingredients, including its Chevy Citation suspension parts. But after a few decades, even the most mediocre car will become interesting as most of the examples built have been run into the ground; why not then the Fiero? The story of the Fiero is paralleled by a number of GM products, as it improved constantly the longer it was built, and by the time of the last model years it was quite decent indeed. And then the plug was pulled. The Fiero might not be a Toyota MR2 or even a Fiat X1/9, but it was made in two body styles, the notchback and the fastback, the latter of which looks especially good now. The Fiero also remains quite affordable, and the plastic body panels do not rust, unlike with the two aforementioned cars. This 1987 car advertised for sale at Autoblog Classifieds does not yet benefit from the 1988 cars' improved suspension, but thanks to its low, low 47,000-mile odometer reading, it looks to be in tip-top shape. The automatic transmission is just the three-speed affair, though, rendering the V6 car here more of a cruiser than a fiery hot canyon carver. Perhaps that has contributed to its good condition, along with the lack of possibly leaky T-tops. Could the Fiero have aged better than your Hall & Oates tapes?
