This is a 93 Pontiac Sunbird SE Convertible. The previous owner has diabetes and couldn't see well enough to drive and had to stop driving. He parked the car in his garage in 2004 and it has been there ever since. Please take a look at my YouTube video http://youtu.be/cMwZnruEeN4 (Just copy and paste to your browser) for some reason Ebay would not allow a click-able link.
Upon taking possession of the car last month, I replaced the fuel tank with a new one. I also installed a new fuel pump, fuel gauge sender, fuel hoses in the fuel module, and all three fuel filters. I cleaned the fuel injectors, installed a new battery and it fired right up. I changed the oil (with Pennzoil synthetic blend) and installed a new oil filter. I changed the air filter and plug wires to bring the car back to excellent running condition. I will provide receipts for all the parts I bought. I have been a mechanic for 30+ years, so rest assured that all the work I did is by the book. The engine runs smooth with no abnormal noises and no leaks. The engine is tight and doesn't have any exhaust smoke, even in the morning after the first start. The Trans also shifts smooth without any abnormal problems, and also doesn't leak. All the lights work, the radio and cassette player work fine also. The car drives fine, brakes work good, dash lights all work. The spare tire, jack, and lug wrench are all in the trunk. I also have some touch up paint I will include. Now for the problems. Due to sitting for so long, the power windows are stiff and need to be cleaned and lubed. The driver side window works ok but the passenger window needs help to go up and down. The rear windows try to move but I can't get them all the way down. The switches and motors are all working, the windows are just very stiff from sitting because the grease on the regulators has hardened. The power top is not working, most likely due to dirty contacts (from non-use) in the switch although I have not looked into it. The power door locks also don't work probably because of dirty switch contacts. The tires are usable, but they are different brands and not in perfect condition. If I were going to keep the car I would put a new set of tires on it. The AC doesn't have any freon in it. It might seal up once it has freon and has been put back into service, although, I cannot guarantee it. Often the hot oil circulating past the seals and o-rings causes them to soften and seal up. I originally planned to repair most of the issues mentioned above, but I decided to offer the car for a lower price in case there were some buyers who preferred a lower price and who could take care of the remaining issues with the car on their own. I am willing to entertain an offer that includes the windows, door locks, power top, and AC working. If the high bidder is from CA, I will get the car smog checked at a legitimate smog station and I will provide them with the receipt. Since the car will likely go out of state, I have not registered or smog tested it. Also, since the car has not been registered since 2004, it is no longer in the DMV computer, therefore, there are no back fees or penalties due. Out of state buyers will not have to worry about any of this. I will simply send you the title and a bill of sale. If you have any questions...feel free to email me. I will respond promptly. Thank you, Josh |

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."
GM Design shows what could have been and what might be
Thu, May 27 2021We periodically like to check in with GM Design's Instagram account to see what they're cooking up. Even better is when we catch a glimpse of an alternate history of what legendary designers from The General's past were thinking, though those ideas may not have made it into production. This week, for example, the account posted some illustrations from George Camp, whose career at GM spanned nearly four decades, from 1963 to 2001. One of the renderings is of what appears to be a 1971-72 Pontiac GTO Judge, but with two headlights instead of the production unit's quad beams. The rear departs from the canonical version most dramatically, with a massive integrated wing. Other bits that didn't make the production cut include large side vents, a gill-like side marker and rectangular intakes below the headlights that wouldn't be out of place on a modern design today. Amazingly, from what we can make out of the date, it appears that the drawing was done sometime in 1965, which makes it quite prescient. View this post on Instagram A post shared by GM Design (@generalmotorsdesign) There's also a very aerodynamic interpretation of a Corvette ZR-1. To our eyes it splits the difference between the 1986 Corvette Indy concept and a fourth-generation F-body Pontiac Firebird, so perhaps parts of Camp's work on this sketch did make it into physical form. There's also a radical sports car concept from May 1970 that resembles the Mazda RX-500 concept from the same year, a Syd Mead-looking Cadillac coupe, and an Oldsmobile with a cool take on the company's trademark waterfall grille and elements of the Colonnade Cutlass at the rear. Other recent posts include a FJ Cruiser-like off-road EV, a sleek coupe with the Chevy corporate grille, and a rendering of a Silverado-esque pickup that looks far better than the current production version.

STUDY: Ford owns brand loyalty in 2009; Scorned Saturn, Pontiac buyers will look outside of GM
Fri, 16 Oct 2009Ford buyers appear to love their cars more than customers of any other automotive brand, returning back to the American automaker when it comes time to purchase their next vehicle. According to a study by Experian Automotive, six of the top 10 vehicles for customer brand loyalty wear badges from the Blue Oval. That includes the Ford Fusion (62.4 percent), Ford Edge (57.9 percent), Ford Five Hundred/Taurus (56 percent), Ford Freestyle (51.9 percent), Ford Escape (49.4 percent) and the Ford Focus (47.57 percent).
Other vehicles making up the top 10 include the Toyota Prius (52 percent), Chevy Impala (51.7 percent), Toyota Camry (47.8 percent) and Toyota Corolla (47.56 percent). This brings up an interesting question: With the closing of automotive brands like Saturn and Pontiac, where are those buyers to turn for their next automotive purchase?
Apparently, not back to General Motors. According to Experian, Pontiac owners are most likely to look to the Ford lineup for their next car or truck and Saturn shoppers will switch to Toyota or Honda - not particularly surprising given that Saturn was meant to compete with import brands. Experian predicts that GM's overall market share will fall from 20 percent to about 17.5 percent, with most of the slack being picked up by Ford, Honda and Toyota.
