1962 Pontiac Bonneville 2 Door Hardtop Barn Find on 2040-cars
Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States
Up for auction is a 1962 Pontiac Bonneville. The car has sat since 1971, it has 94784 original miles. It runs good with no smoke out of exhaust. I have it currently running with a gasoline "I.V." as the fuel pump is bad and fuel lines are rotted. the car does move forward and in reverse like it should but I have not driven it due to no brakes and tires are old. It has p/s, p/b, a/c, p/antenna and trunk light. The a/c is complete and still has the belt hooked up, the compressor does engage but of course doesn't blow cold. it does have the original 303 hp 389 engine and trans. I bought the car from the original owner's family along with various Pontiac parts. It is a 1 owner car, I have the clear NM title from 1967 and some of the paper work for the release of lien and application for NM title dated 1967. The original owner owned a local auto parts store and bought the car new in Amarillo, TX and spent it's whole life in Albuquerque, NM. The paint and interior are original and has never been wrecked, no paintwork ever as far as I can tell. there are a few rust spots that I have pictured, in front of the rear tires and in the trunk other than that the car is super solid. I have the original radio but the volume mast is broken, the original jack assembly and spare is there, just removed them for pics of the trunk. The original air cleaner is missing along with 1 hubcap, other than that the car is pretty complete. It has 1958 Pontiac hubcaps on it now just for aesthetics. I also have the original keys. The car has not been modified from original everything is stock. This is a no reserve auction. I reserve the right to end the auction early as I have it for sale locally. If you have any questions please e-mail or call Paul (505) 263-3077. Buyer responsible for shipping, thank you and good luck!

Junkyard Gem: 2004 Pontiac Vibe GT
Fri, Jun 26 2020The New United Motor Manufacturing plant in Fremont, California, built Toyota-derived machinery — badged as Toyotas, Chevrolets, Geos, and Pontiacs— from 1984 through 2010, and some of the very last vehicles that left the assembly line were Pontiac Vibes. The Vibe, sibling to the Toyota Matrix, mostly served as a ho-hum transportation appliance and/or fleet car, but a factory-hot-rod GT version could be purchased. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those rare GTs, complete with the nearly unheard-of six-speed manual transmission, found in a self-service yard in northeastern Colorado. The regular Vibe had 123 or 130 horsepower, depending on the number of driven wheels, but the Vibe GT got the same 1.8-liter 2ZZ engine that went into the Celica GT-S. 180 horsepower, which was enough to make the 2,800-pound Vibe GT keep up with the 3,108-pound/215-horse Chrysler PT Cruiser Turbo that year. Sadly, no race series pitting Vibe GTs against PT Cruiser Turbos and Chevy HHR SSs on road courses ever materializedÂ… but it's not too late. The Vibe GT has something you couldn't get in a PT Cruiser or Chevy HHR, though: a six-speed manual transmission as standard equipment. In fact, the six-speed was the only transmission offered in the early Vibe GTs (an automatic became an option later on). You'll find plenty of three-pedal econoboxes from this era, because they were significantly cheaper than their slushbox-equipped counterparts, but the Vibe GT had plenty of competition from sportier-looking cars with manual transmissions in 2004. Not many were sold. This car is covered with nasty dents from golf-ball-sized hail (all too common in High Plains Colorado), so it may have been an insurance total that nobody wanted at auction. Sold in Wyoming, will be crushed in an adjacent state. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. Fuel for the soul.

Toyota had right-hand-drive Matrixes brought over to Japan from Canada, but a NUMMI-built version of the Vibe could be purchased there for a few years as well. This was the Voltz, and its advertising seems notably frantic even by the standards of Japanese car commercials.
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."
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.
