Up for sale is a very rare 1970 Pontiac GTO Ram Air IV four speed car. This car has just underwent a full frame
off restoration with no expense spared. The underside is as nice as the top. This is a very desirable car, they
made only 627 ram air iv four speeds cars in 1970. The car is painted in its factory correct Palisades Green color
with the correct factory green vinyl top. The interior is the correct green interior fully restored with top of
the line legendary products and the dash was restored by just dashes. The entire car was stripped to bare metal
and restored properly. It is painted in base coat clear coat DuPont ChromaBase again top of the line.
Some history on this car, it was bought new in Worcester Massachusetts in 1970 by a serviceman. He later took the
car to Texas were it was last plated in 1978 and in fact that plate is still with the car today. The car then went
into storage were the second owner bought the car and stashed it away for almost 30 years. Fast forward to the
present and I am the third owner and second titled owner of this car. Mileage is 51,089 and believed to be correct
based on the amount of time it sat in storage and ownership history. This car was a heavily optioned car and was
ordered with just about everything but the judge package as the original owner didn't want to call attention to
himself and wanted a sleeper car. List of options include: tinted glass, power windows, deck lid release, door
guard moldings, wheel opening moldings, vinyl top, remote mirror, right hand mirror, floor console, positraction,
power disc brakes, M21 heavy duty four speed transmission, leather steering wheel, power steering, rally II wheels,
hood tachometer, electric clock, decor group, and rally gauge clock.
The car comes with the PHS documentation and also one very nice original build sheet and a partial build sheet.
Also I have a clear Illinois title in my name. All of the drivetrain was rebuilt by professionals with receipts.
The engine block is a service replacement block from Pontiac and all the expensive ram air iv parts are present.
The transmission was treated to a full detailed rebuild and is the numbers matching original. Car sits on original
rally II wheels with brand new firestone wide oval tires. Car has zero miles on restoration and is ready to have
the engine broken in. This is a very rare and desirable car and a fine piece to add to a collection. This is the
first Ram Air IV car that I have seen in Palisades Green for sale in the last 10 years.

Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did

Fri, Jun 21 2019

Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod

Fri, 21 Feb 2014

There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
