Pontiac: Gto on 2040-cars
Bridgeview, Illinois, United States
My eMail : conwaytimnke@mynet.com
Truly one of a kind, 2006 Pontiac GTO, built in April of 2006, 6.0L engine, six (6) speed manual transmission, and is the latest model with all the hiccups sorted out from the previous models. The car is in mint condition with only 17,700 miles, which will slightly increase as the car is being driven. Other than minor blemishes on the paint, which are to be expected for a 10 yrs old car, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Also, the interior is in immaculate condition, and there are no scratches or tears of any kind on the leather or plastic. I have invested in the parts alone approximately $18,000, which will be listed accordingly here in the near future as there are so many parts to list. No expense was spared, and no shortcuts were taken. Therefore, I will highlight the main specs that make this car so unique. Custom tuned 447 whp (This was with the factory exhaust; Borla cat-back with X-pipe was added afterwards. So, it is safe to say that the hp slightly increased) The car has been modified with Kooks long tube headers, Kooks high flow cats, heads, supporting valve-train with Duel springs, custom cam by Ed for a procharger, Intake, and fuel injectors. And, it was tuned by Corey from Simpson Performance. It is truly a joy to drive with the MGW-P short throw shifter. My initial plan for the car was to install the procharger in addition to these modifications, expecting it to produce around 700 whp. The entire suspension has been addressed; the car only has the factory front sway bar link bushings, and the factory rear sub frame bushings (2, one on each side). VMR wheels 18x8 with brand new 245/40/18 Michelin super sport tires, and 18x9.5 with 285/35/18 Nitto DR tires, with approximately 1000 miles on them. Please note that the wheels are silver, and have been painted black with plasti dip, a rubber coating which can be removed. We can let the buyer decide which color they prefer better. I will be updating and adding things here as the time goes by, as there is certainly a lot to list. You can feel free to contact me via email, phone, or text, at 954 284 1632. The only trade that I am willing to consider is for a Ducati Panigale, 1299s. I am somewhat flexible on the price, but I will not accept low offers, in fact, I may not even respond to them. I DO NOT NEED HELP SELLING THIS CAR, so do not contact me in that regard. I will not allow for joyrides, so please serious offers and considerations only.

GM recalling 70k Chevy Malibus, Pontiac G6s over steering issue
Sun, Feb 15 2015A problem with the power steering system in the Chevy Malibu and Pontiac G6 has prompted General Motors and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue a recall for an estimated 69,633 vehicles. The issue revolves around the electric power steering assist, which could suddenly fail and increase the risk of a crash, especially at low speeds where the power steering is most helpful. The recall affects 2006-2007 Chevy Malibu sedans and Malibu Maxx wagons (specifically those manufactured between April 1, 2006, and June 30, 2006), as well as the Pontiac G6 (which was offered as a sedan, coupe or convertible) from the same model years and manufactured from April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. Owners of the affected units can expect to hear from the manufacturer with instructions to bring in their vehicles to their local dealers to have the torque sensors in the power steering system replaced. RECALL Subject : Sudden Loss of Electric Power Steering , 1 INVESTIGATION(S) Report Receipt Date: FEB 04, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V064000 Component(s): STEERING Potential Number of Units Affected: 69,633 Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2006-2007 Chevrolet Malibu and Malibu Maxx vehicles manufactured April 1, 2006, to June 30, 2006, and 2006-2007 Pontiac G6 vehicles manufactured April 18, 2006, to June 30, 2006. In the affected vehicles, there may be a sudden loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist that could occur at any time while driving. CONSEQUENCE: If power steering assist is lost, greater driver effort would be required to steer the vehicle at low speeds, increasing the risk of a crash. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the torque sensor assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14772. Note: This is an expansion of recall 14V-153 to cover additional vehicles built between April 1, 2006 and June 30, 2006. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall
Wed, 09 Apr 2014General 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.
Online Find: 1970 Pontiac Firebird Concept, cousin of the Weinermobile
Thu, Mar 26 2015So there's this for sale over at Hemmings: the 1970 Pontiac Firebird One concept designed by Harry Bentley Bradley and built by Dave Crook. For sale at the time of writing in Bellevue, Washington for $94,950, most of the seller's description appears to be pulled from a 2001 Barrett-Jackson listing, when the car was sold at auction for $61,600. Before we get to the car, it helps to know the man behind it: Bradley was a designer at General Motors from 1962 to 1966 who, against company policy, continued to submit designs to Hot Rod magazine under an assumed name. Mattel poached him in 1966 to design its brand new toy line called Hot Wheels, and Bradley designed all of them except one. He only stayed at Mattel for a year because he didn't think Hot Wheels would be successful, then left to start his own design company. Among other works, he penned the most recent example of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile. Now can you see the Firebird One's design language? Since it apparently has a letter of documentation from GM design staff, we'll assume that GM asked the then-freelancing Bradley to work some magic on its muscle car, this being the totally Hot-Wheels influenced result. There are 17,456 miles on its 255-horsepower, 350 cubic-inch V8. The interior has tan leather, custom bucket seats, a wood grain dash, and one of the most awkward spare tire placements ever. The seller assures all prospective buyers that it is, like the Death Star, "fully operational."
