1979 Pontiac Bonneville

24000 original miles. My father bought this car in 1982 with 22000 miles on it. He has only put 2000 miles on since he has had the car. He had several other cars at the time and used this sparingly on the road. He was the second owner. The car has been sitting indoors the majority of its life.

EXTERIOR: The car is burgundy red with lighter red paint. Gold pinstripe accents and lower rocker chrome. The paint is in excellent condition with no pitting or rusting of the chrome bumpers or accent trim.

INTERIOR: Still smells factory fresh new car smell. The interior is red velour seating, red dash, red carpet... all red inside. The headliner has started to sag some on the drivers side but otherwise in excellent condition. There is one small wear on the drivers upper seat where the velour has rubbed off. Dash is not cracked or split at all. Has the original 8 track radio still in dash. Seats are power as well as doors, windows, and locks. Cruise equipped but not sure if it is functional. The GM cruises always seemed to have a habit of the lever switches going bad. Same as the A/C goes. It seemed to be blowing cool air but a change over to 134A would probably help. Is equipped with power brakes and steering.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION : This is a bit of a rarity I have been told. Most of these cars were equipped from factory with the 301 engine. This has the optional 350 engine. Buick 350 I believe is what it is according to vin tag and window sticker. The carb has been freshly rebuilt ( paperwork to show). The car sounds great, very healthy engine but wouldn't hurt with a nice change of plugs, wires, cap and rotor. The transmission is an automatic and shifts like new with no slippage.

TIRES: Tire have little if any wear on them. However... they are close to 30 years old. They show no signs of cracking or splitting. The rims are the modular wire chrome aftermarket rims, but the original steel rims and hubcaps are included with the car if you wish them.

EXHAUST: The only thing needing here is a mid-pipe, possibly muffler and tailpipe. The pipe from the back of the converter to the muffler had perforated rust holes. I am only saying it needs a cat back system because usually the muffler and tailpipe are damaged when removed from the pipes. All depends how careful you are.

The car is drivable and roadworthy for local driving , but with the age of the tires and the exhaust system being in the condition it is... use your own discretion. I would feel safer it being trailered...but that is your decision.

Car is sold AS IS!!! No warranty or guarantee is provided. If you wish more info or pictures feel free to contact me.

I do not accept cashier check or money orders. I have been burned on the past with counterfeit on both of these. Pay pal or cash is best. If paid with a check, the car will be held until payment has cleared usually 10-14 days.

Please do not contact me to end the sale early with your bid. Let the auction run its course.

Good luck and happy bidding.

This 1988 Pontiac Grand Prix Daytona 500 pace car could be yours

Fri, Jan 29 2021

Hopefully, the fans of GM's W-body '80s/'90s intermediates can forgive us, but we had pretty much forgotten — or had never really known — that one of the ways that era's Pontiac Grand Prix bathed itself in glory was by serving as the pace car for the Daytona 500. In fact, the Grand Prix paced NASCAR's marquee race every year from 1988 to 1992, and again in 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2003. That first year, 1988, the Grand Prix was all-new, making its debut on the W-body platform. It was also Motor Trend's car of the year. The 1988 Daytona 500 marked the 17th year in a row that a Pontiac was chosen to set the pace but the first time a front-wheel-drive car was so honored. The '88 Grand Prix followed a spate of Pontiac Trans Ams. This '88 Grand Prix, for sale right now on eBay Motors, is presented as an actual pace car, although fans could order a complete set of pace car decals for their very own GP. The pace car is based on that year's top-spec Grand Prix, the SE. In place of the standard car's 2.8-liter V6, however, the pace car uses a modified 3.1-liter V6, which is hooked to a five-speed manual transmission. This Grand Prix is otherwise largely standard fare excepting the roof-mounted light bar, the switches for which are located next to the radio. The mechanical odometer tucked into the digital instrument cluster shows just over 5,000 miles, and presumably, not all of them were acquired on the high-banked oval. With four days to go in the auction, bidding sits at $4,000 with the reserve unmet. Although the reserve is unknown, one clue is that this Grand Prix had been listed by a classic-car dealership in Pennsylvania for $18,500. Besides the debut of the W-body Grand Prix pace car, the 1988 race is also notable for its final lap: Bobby Allison held off his son, Davey Allison, to take the checkered flag, with the father-son duo enjoying a 1-2 finish. Now, who wants to re-live those Grand Prix glory days? Get on your Pontiac and ride!   This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi

Sat, Jun 19 2021

The General's Pontiac Division sold Bonnevilles from 1958 through 2005, which turned out to be well over half of the marque's existence. Named after the Bonneville Salt Flats, some Bonnevilles were huge but pretty quick, others were slow-motion land yachts, and some were nearly indistinguishable from their Buick and Oldsmobile brethren. The final generation, sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years, were among the quickest and most distinctive-looking Bonnevilles ever built, but they arrived in showrooms at a time when the clock was ticking for the division's very survival. Today's Junkyard Gem is one of those cars, an '01 with the hot-rod SSEi package. The Bonneville SSEi first appeared in the 1992 model year, just a year after the Buick Park Avenue Ultra was the first of many GM cars to get the 3.8-liter Buick V6 with an Eaton supercharger bolted on top. Production of the Bonneville SSEi continued through the 2003 model year, after which the GXP version and its Cadillac Northstar V8 took over. The 2001 version of this engine made 240 horsepower, good for plenty of torque-steery fun. Could you get this car with a manual transmission? What do you think? Some cursory research indicates that 1970 was the last model year for a three-pedal Bonneville, and even those cars must be incredibly rare. This one looks to have been in nice shape when it arrived here, with the original manuals still in the glovebox. By 2006, the Bonneville was gone; four years later, Pontiac was gone.

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."
