This Bonneville has spent it's entire life in California. It was built in Southern California and has spent time there and in Northern California. It has an original NASA sticker on the back bumper and I believe that the original owner worked there in Pasadena. I purchased it out of Venice California and it now resides in very Northern California. Has original rear black and yellow plate, front plate is a copy. I was told that the paint is original but I do not think so. The finish is very nice however. The interior is original and very nice and clean. There is only one tear on the passenger side seat seam. I found the original steering wheel in the trunk and put it back on. the steering wheel has the typical cracking. Dash is very nice, some interior chrome has minor pitting. Wood is good on dash panel and dash top is beautiful. It had chrome wheels when I bought it but I put on used Pontiac wheels (sand blasted and painted) and found four nice hub caps to add to the originality. It has 50,700 miles on it. Person I bought the car from says miles are original. The horn and radio do not work. The front seat is power and does work. Air cleaner is chrome. Valve covers are not original, the originals are in the trunk. (I painted the valve covers Pontiac aqua and the air cleaner is black) The engine runs fine but can take a few pumps of gas to start. Throaty sound. No rust issues except for the trunk. Leaks oil one drop a week. I am getting out of the old car hobby. I have sold three other old cars. I prefer not to sell out of the United States this time around as two of the three I sold went to France and Australia and it was a huge headache. This car has the power! Probably needs alignment as it pulls to the right when braking. I am not a mechanic and do not work on my own cars so I cannot tell you a whole lot about the mechanics but will answer what I can.Please email me if you want my phone number. And email me for specific pictures. I hope to add more before the auction ends. The Bonneville is in Fortuna, CA. Humboldt County. About 125 miles south of the Oregon border, ten miles from the ocean. PS Ignore date on the pictures. They were taken week of May 10 2014. I cannot get the camera to change the date.

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.
