I'm posting for sale my USED 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, with CompetitionG package. This beautiful car has 66,000 miles and I am the third owner. It has been well cared for and maintained. It is in good shape, with normal wear and tear for its age. Its interior is all leather, includes all working power options, supercharged V6 and is a joy to drive. I recently installed four brand new tires, brake pads and new rotors on all wheels, and two new rear brake calipers. I also installed a new front right wheel bearing and hub. In all, just over $2,400 worth of improvements in the past six weeks. The seat leather bolsters have normal wear and minor cracking on outside edges of seats. There are no stains, cuts or splits in the leather seating surfaces or dash surface. A small section of the plastic heads-up display trim piece has an approximate 1" crack, but does not degrade the appear of the car. Some of the seatbelt warning stickers have curled due to age and sunlight. I do not smoke, but there may be a slight hint of very old cigar odor with a prior owner. A gentleman in my office parking lot recently gently backed into the left rear bumper cover and knocked a few chips of clear coat and paint from it. I attempted a home repair. It is not a professional finish but it removed the paint swipes left by the other car. Photos are attached. The steering wheel leather has some rough spots along the bottom, and a few of the radio buttons show slight wear. There are a few minor exterior paint chips and rust spots along the rocker panels and fender skirts near the wheels. You may be alright with these issues or you may choose to have them professionally improved if you decide to buy the car. Either way, the car is sold "AS-IS, WHERE IS" with no warranty neither expressed nor implied. Serious bidders only, please. Buyer should have your funding source ready and available if you decide to purchase or make an offer on my USED 2004 Grand Prix GTP. Additional photos can be provided; email me for any and all questions or additional information requested PRIOR to bidding. A deposit of $250 via Paypal is required with buyer's agreement to purchase, with remaining funds due by end of 7 business days. All Sales Final; No Refunds. A bill of sale, odometer statement and damage disclosure statement will be provided at conclusion of sale. Buyer is responsible for all tax, title and license registration fees with buyer's local vehicle registration authority. Buyer is responsible for all costs to ship, travel for or transport the vehicle to buyer's location. Title is clear and in-hand. Vehicle will be released for pick-up and/or shipping transport only AFTER buyer's funds have cleared at the seller's bank. For this reason, I prefer to exchange funds via Bank-to-Bank Wire Transfer; although in the case of this vehicle, I will consider receiving a Cashiers Check drawn on a legitimate bank in the U.S. I will not accept cash nor or personal check. Again, vehicle release and title re-assignment will not occur until AFTER buyer's funds have cleared at the seller's bank. Seller reserves the right to re-list the vehicle for sale if the buyer does not complete the final funding transaction within 7 business days, or work with the seller to notify seller of buyer's intent to complete the purchase.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

This 93-car Iowa auction is like a Big 3 classic muscle museum

Tue, Aug 27 2019

Bill "Coyote" Johnson has been buying cars since high school and has amassed a collection totaling 113 vehicles, according to NBC 6 News. But time has changed his motivations and priorities, and he's decided to auction 93 of those cars, many of which are classic muscle from Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Plymouth and Pontiac. The megasale will take place Sept. 14, 2019, in Red Oak, Iowa, at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. A 1969 Plymouth Road Runner infected Coyote with a love for Detroit muscle when he was just a teenager, and his desire quickly turned into an obsession. He's spent the past 40 years finding, buying and working on a variety of makes and models. Unlike some collectors, Coyote didn't discriminate against certain brands and has rides from each of the Big 3 automakers. Included in the auction are Camaros, Satellites, Super Bees, Chargers, Challengers, Barracudas, Coronets, GTOs, Mustangs, Cutlasses and others. Possibly the most intriguing aspect of the auction is that all of these cars will be sold as-is with no reserve. Many of them will need work, depending on quality standards, but this seems like a golden opportunity to find a classic car without leaving a bank account in shambles.  The auctions are open for bidding online now, and the full auction will take place on September 14. Check out the full listings and bid at VanDerBrink Auctions.
