1988 Pontiac Sunbird convertible 2.0 liter 4-cylinder turbo with 31,824 original miles.  She's old but not tired!!  My parents bought this car brand new in 1989 and never drove it in the winter; it has always been stored under cover.  I bought this car from them two years ago and have never put it on the road although I have started it monthly.  Thought I wanted it but turns out differently.  The car is in good working condition; runs fine and the interior is in very nice condition as can be seen by the photos. The only thing not original is the back window which my father had replaced about six years ago.  The engine runs great and it is a very snappy car when you step on the gas; can definitely tell and hear when the turbo kicks in!!  There are a few flaws with the car including some cracked plastic around the seat belt components, a couple dings in the body, the lettering "Pontiac" has aged and broken off from the front of the car, the seals around the windows do show cracking etc.  My father also noticed a few years back that there was some water on the floorboard when he had it outside in the rain for a day or so and while he couldn't track the leak down, he believes it could have been running in from the seal around the hood; I don't know and I've never had it out in the rain.  I can tell you that when I washed it, I did not notice any water enter anywhere.  Anyway, that's about it; I have no idea what the car is worth and was unable to find any like it on my internet searches.  I did find two red ones on auto trader but they were a year newer with over 100,000 miles and not in as good condition selling for (not sold) $3,000.  I'm sure my starting price is a bit high but I'm willing to take serious offers.  I do have the car for sale locally and if it sells, I reserve the right to end this auction early.  I can say that I'm fortunate enough to not have to sell this car and have no problem putting it back in the garage for storage if necessary so please, no lowball offers.  If there's a winning bidder, that bidder is responsible for arranging for and paying for pickup if it is not a local pickup.  Any questions, feel free to ask; I'd be more than happy to take additional photos if necessary.

1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:

Pontiac Aztek enjoys rebirth thanks to Millennials

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Apparently, Millennials – those between 18 and 34 – aren't afraid to look different on the road, and they like performance, too. A new study by Edmunds is discovering some surprising vehicle choices by this group. Among them, the long-derided Pontiac Aztek is getting a new day in the sun with 25.5 percent its buyers coming from this generation in the first half of 2015. For comparison, Millennials represent an average of 16.8 percent of used car purchases. The Aztek is slowly shaking its reputation as a styling abomination, which seems tied to its appearance on Breaking Bad. The show premiered in 2008, and the Pontiac has been on this list for four of the past five years, according to Edmunds. It even led the pack in 2010. A recent Retro Review from MotorWeek also showed that the crossover wasn't always so hated. While it's still a shock to see the Aztek on any popularity list, the awkward-looking crossover only ranks sixth among Millennials. The vehicle with the biggest portion of buyers from the generation is the Dodge Magnum with 27.6 percent. According to Edmunds, the bluntly styled wagon is especially popular in Detroit and Chicago. The Chrysler Pacifica comes in a close second at 27.3 percent. When it comes to used cars, value and utility appear to trump just about anything else for many Millennial buyers," Edmunds analyst Jeremy Acevedo said in the report. Young buyers aren't afraid of sporty rides, either. The Subaru WRX has 26.4 percent Millennial buyers to rank third place on the list, and the Volkswagen R32 takes fifth at 25.7 percent. Just a few points lower in seventh place is the Nissan GT-R at 25.4 percent, and the final performance machine in 10th place is the Lexus IS-F with 24.7 percent. Related Video:
