Chesapeake, Virginia, United States
|
Looking for a fun and fast car? Then this is the car!!
This is a 2007 Pontiac Solstice that has a Mallett Conversion. This is a one owner car. The car was bought new in 2007 and sent directly to Berea, Ohio to Chuck Mallett, who was backed by GM to make these cars a 400 horsepower LS2. That's putting all of the horsepower of a Corvette into a Solstice using genuine and official licensed GM products and making this little monster go 0-60 in 4.4 seconds. The Mallett conversion on this car included: GM 400 HP LS2 V8 Engine Luk Pro Gold Clutch Assembly Custom Modified Shock Absorbers Corsa Stainless Steel Mufflers Custom 2 Core Aluminum Radiator Polyurethane Rear Arm Bushings and Differential Mount Carbon Fiber Coil Covers, Aluminized Carbon Fiber Mallett Body Graphics & Seat Embroidery Mallett Custom Number Plaque & Badging GXP Rear 2 Outlet Fascia Upgrade This car was number 5 for the 2007 year. This car is super clean. Always kept in a climate controlled garage. Has never seen a drop of rain. Has never been smoked in. Has never had a drink or food in it. This car has never been in any accidents or had any problems. This car has not been abused or tortured in any way. Nothing has ever been replaced on this car with the exception of what Mallett changed and was backed by GM to do so. There are 1,816 miles on this car, making it one of the lowest mileage Mallett Solstices there is, if not the lowest one. Car has had regular oil changes. Car is well documented with all paperwork, including but not limited to: purchase agreement from GM dealership when bought new, owners manual, pictures of car when bought new before being sent to Mallett, all Mallett paperwork for the car, pictures of car at Mallett's during the conversion, inspections, etc. This car is meticulous. This car is fast. This car is not for the inexperienced driver. This car is not for the average Joe who wants to own what everybody else owns. If you want a clean Pontiac Solstice, if you want a low mileage car, if you want a car to add to a car collection, if you want a Mallet, if you want a well documented car, if you want a one owner car, if you want a Sly car, then this is the car for you!! Please email with any and all questions. ONLY serious inquiries. Owner has the right to cancel auction at any time if car is being advertised outside of EBay and sells through another entity before the end of the EBay auction. If this should happen, auction will be ended by owner and highest bidder will be notified immediately. |

Junkyard Gem: 1980 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ
Sat, Mar 4 2023A couple of years before John DeLorean and his team at the Pontiac Division created the GTO by pasting a big engine and some gingerbread on the LeMans, they created a rakish, powerful coupe based on the staid full-size Catalina. This was the 1962 Pontiac Grand Prix, which sold like crazy and escalated the personal luxury coupe war already brewing in Detroit. Starting with the 1969 model year, the Grand Prix switched to a smaller chassis (shared the following year with the new Chevrolet Monte Carlo), and all subsequent rear-wheel-drive Grand Prix (that is, through 1987) remained siblings of the Monte. Today's Junkyard Gem is a rare 1980 Grand Prix LJ, found in a self-service yard near Reno, Nevada. Sure, a fresh round of Middle East conflict had put a kink in America's fuel hose in 1979, leading to gas lines and a general sense of malaise, but at least the new Grand Prix looked extra sharp for 1980. The LJ package came with all sorts of appearance and comfort goodies, including these "luxury seats with loose-pillow design in New Florentine Cloth." A Pontiac Phoenix LJ was available as well. These seats must have been very comfortable when new. Who needed a Cadillac when Pontiac would sell you this car at a base MSRP of just $7,000 (about $26,704 in 2023 dollars)? That price was what you paid if you were willing to get the base 3.8-liter Buick V6, though. To get a V8 engine with four-barrel carburetor, you had to pay extra. If you did pay the extra for a V8, which one you got depended on which state you lived in; in California, you got this 305-cubic-inch (5.0-liter Chevrolet small-block), and in the other 49 states you got a 301-cubic-inch (4.9-liter) Pontiac. The 305 was rated at 150 horsepower with 230 pound-feet; the 301 made 140hp and 240 lb-ft. This car was originally bought in California (the state line is about ten miles away from its final parking spot), so it has the Chevy engine. The V8 added $195 (plus $250 for the California-only emissions system) to the out-the-door price of the car, or about $1,316 in 2023 dollars. Outside of California, a 4.3-liter Chevy V6 was available for just 80 additional bucks ($305 now). All 1980 Grand Prix got a three-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment, with no manual available from the factory. This car has the optional air conditioning, which cost $601 ($2,293 after inflation). This is the "Custom Sport" steering wheel, which was standard on the LJ. The tilt option cost $81 ($309 today).
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
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."
