Rarity and exclusivity are just two of the adjectives used to describe this spectacular 1989 Pontiac Firebird Turbo
Trans-Am 20th Anniversary Indy 500 Pace Car. Pontiac only made this model in 1989 specifically to pace the 73rd
Indy 500. Total production numbered 1,555 units and GM kept 5 of them and sold 1,550 to the public. This is #1,221
of the 1,555 ever made. This example is highly original with only the battery and tires being replaced.
I bought this car 7 months ago with 1,968 miles and it currently has 2,100 original miles on the dot, not a typo. I
am the 2nd owner and it has been kept as a collector car since new. I am only selling because I don't drive it due
to the extremely low mileage and I'm downsizing my collection. I only put 132 miles on in 7 months and that was to
and from car shows only. It is 100% fully documented with the original owners kit, original window sticker,
original door decals (the current ones are replicas to prevent using the originals), original books, manuals, and
keys, as well as the original promotional material and comes with an original Indy 500 program that has about 4 or
5 pages about the car in it. Also, it has full PHS documentation as verified by Jim Mattison of Pontiac Historical
Services (PHS). Has a free and clear title in my name with no lien.
Under the hood it is all original aside from the battery. The hi-po 231ci turbocharged V6 engine from the Buick
Grand National with the original Garrett intercooler and turbo is mated to the original Turbo-Hydramatic 200-4R
four-speed automatic transmission. The car also features the WS6 performance suspension consisting of independent
front suspension with MacPherson struts, coil springs and anti-roll bar, live rear axle with trailing links and
torque arm, four-wheel hydraulic disc brakes from the 1LE, and 16"x8" Aluminum wheels.
The interior is a time warp. It is in as new condition as an original 25 year old car can be. Everything is there
and excellent original condition including the t-top bag and sun shade. Everything works except the power antenna
but you can manually raise it and the reception is very clear, this is the only thing not working properly on this
car. All of the glass is original PPG and all the body panels have the VIN stickers such as the one pictured.
As equipped, the new Trans-Am redefined the term "high performance" with 13-second quarter-mile times and top
speeds exceeding 150 mph. It was the first unmodified car to pace the Indianapolis 500. Originally priced at $9,000
over the cost of the 5.7-liter GTA and with just 1,554 other examples produced, this 20th Anniversary Indy Pace-Car
Trans-Am remains one of the rarest Pontiac's ever assembled which has become a highly sought after limited and
exclusive collectible.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported
Thu, 13 Feb 2014General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When 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:
