This listing is for a super-rare Ram Air GT edition Pontiac Grand Am. The year is 2004. It has very low mileage for its age. I do not have any photos of the interior included in this auction at the moment, but it is in perfect condition just like the rest of the car. This car is so rare, there is not even a Blue Book value for it. If you check the Blue Book sites, Ram Air and ENKEI rims are not even options.

I based the asking price on the Blue Book retail price for a Grand Am GT of this year and mileage plus an approximately 30% markup for the rarity of the options. I am open to offers, but given the rare value of this car, I am not willing to sell it cheap or at what you would call a wholesale price. Wholesalers, marketers, and scammers; please don't waste your time or mine by trying to contact me about this.

The engine is a GM 3400 (3.4L) just like what would be found in a police-model Impala. These motors are known for longevity. They use a timing chain rather than a timing belt for the overhead cams, so the motor is basically maintenance free. At the vehicle's current mileage, it is just now getting broken in and has much life ahead of it. I encourage you to search this fact online. In addition to having the famous Impala motor, this special edition car has the forced-induction Ram Air system which gives the 3400 motor more power than would be found in even the police cars.

This vehicle is in perfect, all-original condition. The only "modification" is the K&N air filter (which really isn't even a modification). The bright-red paint is all-original. It is a little dull on the hard-edges on the front end, but this is natural wind-burn on a car like this. I decided that it would have better value with the paint being all original rather than repainting the very-minor fading on the front edges (which probably cannot even be seen in the photos or from a distance of a few feet or more when looking at it in person).

The last year for the Grand Am was 2005. While Pontiac did offer the Ram Air option in previous years, it was nothing like the ones made in 2004 and 2005. These late-model Ram Air GT's featured a aggressive body style with hood scoops, race-style front air-dam (bumper cover), Ferrari-style side louvers, and a spoiler. This is a very powerful and fast car, but also offers all the conveniences of any sport-sedan. The Grand Am was really the first ever sport-sedan to be offered on the modern American market.

There is no grill on the front of the vehicle, instead the Ram Air scoops exist in this location. This is the reason for the custom-styled front air-dam which has a lower front-spoiler that directs air up and into the radiator.

Everything in the vehicle is in top-notch working condition. I just had this vehicle shipped up from the south-west, so it has never even seen snow or road salt. Under the hood, you will see that it is probably the cleanest used car that you have ever seen.

The rims are made by ENKEI (an American manufacturer of premium alloy wheels). Some of the photos show the vehicle without hubcaps, all of the original ENKEI hubcaps are included. The ENKEI name and GM logo are cast into every wheel so that you know that they are authentic.

I have not taken photos of the interior yet, but it is just as clean as the rest of the vehicle. The color is tan. I will gladly provide photos of the interior if you would like to send a message and ask.

The only option for payment and pickup is payment up-front and pickup at my home. The buyer is responsible for arranging shipping if desired and must send cleared/certified payment prior to pickup.

If the buyer is a Maryland or Delaware resident, we will renew the inspection form so that you are ready to register the vehicle.

There are no mechanical problems whatsoever. The only minor issue is that the tires do not match from front to back. The rear tires are brand new Cooper Dorals and the front are Hankook with approximately 1/2-3/4 tread life remaining.

Scammers don't waste time!

This classic Firebird restomod swallowed a Prius

Tue, Apr 19 2016

It takes an unusual eye to look at a 1967 Pontiac Firebird and see the Toyota Prius hidden inside. But that's just the kind of eye that a creative mechanic known online as "Bill the Engineer" has. Bill is updating his old Firebird into a true classic for the 21st century and has documenting the changes over at Priuschat and EcoModder. The TL,DR version of the story: he's replacing the worn-out powertrain with the gas-electric hybrid one from a Prius V, because it turns out the two vehicles have almost exactly the same wheelbase. Bill, who's from Columbus, Ohio and doesn't want his full name used, said in his posts on the conversion project that he's made many memories with this vehicle since buying it back in 1979. Since then, a few moves, a few decades, and some time in storage meant that the car would no longer function as he wanted it to. As he wrote, "when it comes to mice in the vehicles IT IS WAR." His solution is to make new memories and making a greener vehicle, and so we wanted to ask him how things have been going. Bill's been traveling a bit recently, but told AutoblogGreen that he's now figuring out the next steps for this amazing and complicated project. "I always plan things out before I do them," he said. That's the only way something like this can work. ABG: I think we have to start with what gave you the inspiration for this project. Was it simply that you had the two cars and wanted to see them merged into one cool mashup, or was it something else? "One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid... The rest is history." Bill: I have been the owner of my 1967 Firebird convertible since 1979 when I bought it for $750.00. I drove it for years and made many memories. Afterward it was in storage for many years during which time mice at their way into the car and trashed the interior and wiring. I started working on a conventional restoration but always ran into major problems with hidden corrosion, electrical issues and an engine on its last legs. The car was never going to be as nice as I wanted going the conventional route. One day my wife wondered out loud if the car could be converted into a hybrid like our two daily driver Prii. That got me thinking about how it could be done. The rest is history... ABG: It looks like you started in late 2014. Have things gone well since then, or has it been one hassle after another? What has been the biggest setback, and what were the biggest victories?

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek

Tue, Jul 11 2017

Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.

Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced

Mon, Jan 29 2024

DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel. The urgent warning Monday covers: Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years. RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005. Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory. Most of the vehicles are in the U.S. “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement. Owners can go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their cars are affected. If you're not the original owner of the vehicle, the manufacturer's recall letter might not reach you, so be sure to do the VIN check. The recalled RAV4s have Takata driver's airbags while the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side. The Corolla and Matrix also are under a separate recall because their airbags can be deployed without a crash, the company said. Both companies said owners should contact a local dealer instead of driving the cars in for repairs. Dealers will provide options such as mobile repair, towing the car to a dealer, or vehicle pickup and delivery. Takata used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate airbags in a crash. But the chemical propellant can deteriorate over time when exposed to high temperatures and humidity. It can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and at least 30 have died worldwide including people in Malaysia and Australia. In addition, about 400 people have been injured. The exploding airbags sent Takata of Japan into bankruptcy. The potential for a dangerous malfunction led to the largest series of auto recalls in U.S. history. About 100 million inflators were recalled worldwide. Recalls Pontiac Toyota Takata airbag recall
