Up for bids is this 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, not supercharged 3.8 liter engine.The supercharger is the only option this car does not have. I am selling it because I am in a wheelchair and the car is so low that I have a really hard time getting out of the car. I would have fixed the issues if I were to continue driving it, but the accessibility issue is why I don't fix it. I really liked driving the car and it will flat out go if you want it to. The hand controls do not go with the car and the trim under the dash will be restored to the factory configuration. I am pricing this car to sell because it still has a book value of over $5,000 with some models on Autotrader with more miles that are going for nearly $8,000 with all the options this car has. It will need some repair or I would be asking $4,000 or more for it. There is a lean on the car that I will try to have resolved before the end of the auction. Here is the story on the car.
I bought it about three years ago and have put less than 4,000 miles on it.It drives well and doesn't pull to the right or left. This car has some new parts, such as a new battery, two front tires have only around 4,000 miles on them (I did have four new tires, but it was sitting at my mechanic's garage and someone stole the other two wheels and tires which he replaced with two new wheels and used tires), new headlight bulbs and lenses (as these lenses are prone to smoking over and being really dim at night), the rear tires are also in very good shape. The factory features include a working factory sunroof, leather interior in very good shape for its age, heated driver's seat, polished chrome wheels, Bose audio system with AM/FM CD player that works fine, the display works,however, it is very dim. If the sun shines on it, you can see what the clock or digital readout says. It has the HUD or Head's Up Display that is still bright. All the windows go up and down now. When I got the car, only one window worked so I removed some from another car and replaced all the window regulators.
What the car needs: I believe it needs a new alternator as the battery charge goes down even after you drive it and you can hear the bearings squealing as well. The power steering pump is weak, but I have another from another car that will be included. No guarantee that it is any better, but it worked before. The tachometer quit working and when that happened, the car doesn't want to idle smooth so I believe it must be the throttle position sensor or another sensor going off. The clock spring in the steering wheel needs to be replaced. The radio controls on the steering wheel do not work and the Air Bag light are on because of the clock spring being bad. Paint on the hood is faded and cracked and the corners are damaged due to someone opening the hood too far and damaging the hood hinges, which is why the hood hinges are white and not black. I think if you are a mechanic, these sensors, alternator, and miscellaneous parts probably wouldn't amount to much. The clock spring is about $163 so do what you want there.
For the engine and transmission, both run and perform as they should, or did before the engine sensors mentioned above started acting up. After the engine gets past the idle issue, it runs just fine. If you would like to see the car running, I have taken some video that I can e-mail you if interested. The engine and transmission are not original to the car.They are from a 2001 Grand Prix GT. The reason they were changed is that the previous owner had a small engine fire that damaged the wire harnesses and some of the plastic stuff on the engine. I had planned on reusing the factory engine but it turned out it had a bad rod bearing and the transmission had the overdrive out.Taking no chances, I decided to buy a donor car for the engine, transmission, and all wire harnesses that were damaged. The insulation under the hood protected it from the fire, but could use repainting as the clear coat had too much hardener in it and caused it to crack. The paint on the rest of the car needs a good buff/wax and I think it would be fine, with the exception of the header panel. The header has the clear coat as a little tired. The engine and transmission have 10,000 fewer miles on it than the odometer shows. The sensors that have gone bad on the car have just occurred in the last 200 miles or so. Prior to that, the car ran great. It still does, but only after you get passed the low idle speed.
I have the parts car that can be purchased if you want it too. It still has most of the interior, airbags, all the glass is good, cat back exhaust, all of the trim, and most of the body. What isn't there is the engine and transmission, the header panel, hood, rear deck and bumper (damaged from an accident). If you want the parts car, it is $350. I also have some 40th anniversary badges and the 40th anniversary chrome tailpipe extenders for $60 if interested in those.
I am selling this car at a reasonably low price due to the problems it has. I would easily ask $3,500 to $4,000 if it were fixed. As it sets, $2,250 is a good price for the car. $500 deposit due at end of auction. Remainder due in five days in cash. NO CHECKS! If you need this car shipped, I will work with a shipper of your choice after all payments are made and clear.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue
Sun, Feb 15 2015A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
Classic Pontiac Trans Am Firebird Super Duty 455 sells for nearly $90,000
Fri, Aug 25 2023Historically, the Pontiac Firebird Trans Am raised the performance levels a notch or two over a plain Firebird in the muscle car hierarchy of the Sixties. But the Super Duty 455 version of the Trans Am — that number represents the cubic inches of the hand-assembled V8 engine — moved the performance needle big time in 1974. So much so that a clean example of the machine sold recently on the Hagerty Marketplace auction site for $89,296. Advertised with just under 54,000 miles on the clock and having undergone a thorough restoration, the Buccaneer Red model was one of just 943 Pontiac Firebirds equipped with the Super Duty 455 package for the 1974 model year. That build had also been offered in 1973. The Hagerty listing drew more than 21,000 views and 39 bids. According to Hagerty's valuation report, a similar car would be worth $85,700 in good condition, and $103,000 if it was in ‘“concours condition.” The Super Duty motor borrowed technology from the lineÂ’s 366-cubic-inch NASCAR engine, and featured heavy-duty connecting rods and an entirely new block with a revised crankshaft and heads to deliver a claimed 310 horsepower. The Firebird that sold was indeed loaded, with a three-speed Hydra-matic transmission (which surely reduced its overall value), power locks and windows, AC, dual exhausts, heavy duty stabilizer bars all around, and a “custom Interior trimmed in Red perforated Morrokide vinyl upholstery.” The entry of PontiacÂ’s pony car in the U.S., facing off against the Mustang and Camaro, dates back to 1967, when it was offered with an inline six and optional V8. The first Trans Ams were introduced two years later, the name derived from a handling package. General Motors ceased production of new Pontiacs in 2002 owing to declining sales and losing stakes in the sports coupe market. The big 455-cid V-8 had disappeared years earlier.
Detroit City Council vetoes Autorama stunt, objects to Confederate flag
Wed, Feb 20 2019Detroit's Autorama hot rod show will stage its 67th annual event next month, and wants to kick off with Burt Reynolds tribute. The plan is to re-create the Mulberry Bridge jump from " Smokey and the Bandit" using a movie-correct 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. But the Detroit City Council voted 7-1 to prohibit the jump. Why? Because the Trans Am's front license plate holder displays the former Georgia state flag, a portion of which is the Confederate national flag, and the city council doesn't like that. In the movie, Bo "Bandit" Darville was a Georgia driving legend, and the flag on the car was Georgia's flag at the time. Councilman Scott Benson laid out the council's position when he said that the car "still proudly flies a Confederate flag, which is a symbol of oppression, slavery, as well as home-bred American terrorism. So this body said we are not going to support that type of symbolism nor the audacity to support that type of activity in the city of Detroit." It seems part of the council's ire comes from the same event two years ago. A stunt group called the Northeast Ohio Dukes re-created a "Dukes of Hazzard" jump in 2017 using a series-correct 1969 Dodge Charger, complete with a Confederate flag on the roof. Benson said the stunt group "expressly said they would not display that [Confederate flag] symbol during the jump." Not only was it displayed, but when driver Raymond Kohn gave interviews after the jump, his driving suit featured the Stainless Banner on the collar. Seems the council has been grinding its axe in silence for two years. Now Benson accuses Autorama of "a history of supporting images and symbols of racism, oppression, and white supremacy." Autorama is certain to take place March 1-3 at Cobo Center. This year's show will have around 800 cars on display, along with a special exhibit of 17 low riders and a Batmobile built by Flint native Carl Casper. Even if the Bandit car doesn't make the jump, the Trans Am and other memorabilia from the film will be there. A spokeswoman for Autorama said, "We are continuing to work to try to resolve this with the city."
