 Up for auction is a 1997 pontiac Sunfire Almost completely redone. This car is a first place show winner, adult owned,
and garage kept.
The Pros on this car:
   It has a new motor, with 3700 miles on it. It was replaced a few years back. When the motor was replace a few obvious
things were replaced also. Upper motor mount, full tune up, upper and lower radiator hoses, oil. the motor is stock with
the exception of the cold air intake and header. The car exhaust system has been almost completely replaced except the mid
pipe. New Header, expansion pipe, flowmaster 40 series muffler that splits into dual rear exhaust tails with chrome tips.
It has a new rack and pinion also.The car has new brakes and calipers all the way around.The calipers and drums have been
 painted red. the car has new 18
inch wheels and tires, the tires have good tread on them. the body of this car also features new panels. New front
quarter panels, new rear wing, new hood, new front and rear bumper, new side skirts and mirrors. the car was completely
taken apart and painted black and red. The red racing strip is unique with an out of the ordinary design bringing it to
a point on the nose contouring the hood instead of the traditional rectangle look. The stripe also has metallic in it
which pops when the sun hits it. The interior was redone in black and red also. The door panels, headliner, and center
console have been done in crushed velvet which also pops in sun light. the windows are tinted 5% all the way around except
the front windshield. The Mirrors feature led lights which can be turned on and of by a toggle switch inside. The headlights
have been replaced with new ones that arent foggy and have an led light bar at the bottom of each like some of the newer
cars. The headlight bulbs have been upgraded to an HID set up which are much brighter. The stock headlight wiring was not
tampered with for inspection reasons. You simply pull out the HIDS, put the stock bulbs back in and boom, no inspection
issue. You simply put the HID bulbs back in when you get home and your rolling in style and staying legal. The car is
also equipped with a night rider led light bar in the nose which can be removed without interfering with the body of the
car which is also controlled by remote and has 7 different lighting setups. The car also has LED light bars underneith
which is a very cool look at night. Its a multi color set up and has 11 different options. It can be controlled by either
the control box mounted in the center console or remote. The car also has led turn signals up front and led brake light
in the wing. Now for the stereo system in this car. This is my sickest creation yet! starting in the front of the car and
working back it features a 220 amp alt which is 130 amps over stock.Plenty of charging power there. An Isolater box which
charges the two batteries the car has, one up front, one in the truck, individually so one doesnt kill the other. Very
important piece to have when doing a dual battery setup. inside we have a Kenwood Head unit that is high powered, changes
colors on the face, cd, aux port, and USB to allow you to play your phone or mp3. it also has a remote. The door speakers
are Kenwood mids, highs, and crossovers capable of 300 plus Watts. in the truck we have a Kicker 12 inch Solobaric box
with 2 subs in it. Pushing this box is a 2000 watt D class Alpine amp. this amp is at 1/4 gain and rocks my chest when
playing songs. At 1/4 gain theres plenty of room for more power output but I cant handle anymore. There is also a smaller
Alpine amp pushing the mids and highs which produces 300 to 500 watts. There is a sec battery in the trunk along with a
Tsunami capacitor. Just a safe guard for the system to keep it at peak power but is probably overkill. The lights on this
car dont flicker, blink, or anything when playing the system. The stereo system has several fuses in the lines for safety
to you, the car, and the system. The car does still retain the spare tire under the dimond plate cover in the trunk.

*****THE YELLOW TOP BATTERY IN THE TRUCK IS GOING TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW STANDARD BATTERY!****

  now for the cons:
the nose of the car has some small stone chips in it. not many. also there are some barely noticeable stress cracks in the
fiberglass. A cart I beleive scratched the back in a small area by the fuel door. (a pro, This car has no dents at
all. I showed that in the pictures). the left side mirror glass was replaced after falling out with a cut to fit which
is split around the edges. thats an inexpensive replacement, 5 dollars or less. the head liner is sagging in one spot
due to me rushing to finish the head liner for the last show it was in. again, easy fix. some areas on the back deck, and
seat belt still need to be painted black and the sun visors arent finished. I beleive thats it and as I said the car is
95 % finished! this car runs great, is great on gas, and has never given me a problem after the motor was replaced. its a
head turner all day! Its a conversation starter also. Ive had people ask what kind of car is it? who makes it? etc.

 Im selling this car and my truck because I want a new toy. Im in the market for a Corvette and dont have the room to keep
them or the money. Oh, the car also has LED light bars inside under the dash that flash in sinc with the exterior lights.
Im seeling this car for a reserve price of $5500. OBO. A $500 dollar non refundable deposit is required at this auctions
end so serious bidders inquire. I AM OPEN TO BEST OFFERS so send me a message and it will be considered. I reserve the
right to end this auction at any time due to the car being sold locally also. I am also willing to take the car up to 30
miles to meet a buyer with an addition 25 dollars for my gas and time. any questions feel free to send me a message
and happy bidding.

Woman Cleared In Fatal Car Wreck After GM Letter

Tue, Nov 25 2014

A Texas judge cleared a woman Monday for a car accident that killed her fiance in 2004, after General Motors acknowledged that her car would have been among millions being recalled for a problem that may have contributed to the death. Candice Anderson was driving a 2004 Saturn Ion when it suddenly veered off a road about 60 miles east of Dallas and slammed into a tree. Anderson, then 21, was severely injured when the car's air bags failed to deploy. Her 25-year-old fiance, Gene Erikson, who was a passenger, was killed. She later pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the wreck. But during a hearing Monday, State District Judge Teresa Drum expunged the conviction from her record, according to officials in the Van Zandt County court andAnderson's attorney, Bob Hilliard. In a letter given to the court ahead of the hearing, an attorney for the automaker confirmed that Anderson's Saturn would have been among 2.6 million GM vehicles recalled in February to address ignition switches that can slip out of the "run" position, causing the engines to stall and disabling power steering, brakes and air bags. Anderson's crash "is one in which the recall condition may have caused or contributed to the frontal air bag non-deployment in the accident," attorney Richard C. Godfrey wrote. Hilliard provided a copy of the letter to The Associated Press, and Godfrey confirmed its contents Monday. Anderson was initially charged with criminally negligent homicide because there was no clear explanation at the time why the wreck occurred, according to court documents from the case. She pleaded guilty to a letter charge in 2006, and was sentenced to five years' probation. She also was ordered to perform 260 hours of community service, pay court costs and cover the costs of Erikson's funeral. "GM knew this defect caused this death, yet instead of telling the truth watched silently as Candice was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter," Hilliard said Monday. "It took 10 years for GM to find its voice." In a separate statement issued by the company, GM said it "cooperated fully by providing technical information that was requested to make a decision in this matter." The carmaker also said the issue in Anderson's case was for local law enforcement and courts to consider. "That's why we took a neutral position on Ms. Anderson's case," the company's statement said. "It was appropriate for the court to determine the legal status of Ms.

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?

World's only 1964 Pontiac XP-833 Banshee coupe for sale by Kia dealer

Mon, Apr 20 2020

It seems like there has been a spate of especially odd car sales in the first part of this especially odd year, from the numerous barn finds and homebrew specials to the time capsule cars — like the BMW wrapped in a protective bubble for 23 years. Napoli Kia in Milford, Connecticut, brings us another, via Motor1. Len Napoli is the dealership principal and die-hard Pontiac maven; his father opened Napoli Pontiac in 1958, and Len held onto the franchise until the early 2000s, just before GM shuttered the brand that built excitement. Napoli got hold of the 1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833 coupe concept, and put the car up for sale through his Kia dealership for $750,000. The exceptional price comes from the fact that Pontiac built two Banshee concepts in 1964, one this silver coupe with a red interior, the other a white roadster, making each concept a one-of-one collector car.      Motor Trend wrote a detailed piece on this one in 2013, the editorial tour hosted by Bill Collins, the Banshee's lead engineer. The short story is that GM exec John Z. DeLorean — yes, him —  gave approval to a small crew at Pontiac to create a two-seater sports car to compete with the Mustang, because GM had nothing to fend off the four-seat coupe that would sell one million units in just 18 months on the market. Collins and his team took inspiration from the 1963 Corvair Monza GT concept, working up a fiberglass body over a steel frame, with a 230-cubic-inch overhead-cam straight-six producing 165 horsepower and 216 pound-feet of torque, a four-speed manual transmission, and 9.5-inch drum brakes at all corners. The idea was that the XP-833 would be "an affordable and fun two-seat sports car," the concept demonstrating the base-model price leader offering a lengthy list of options for those who wanted more. The white roadster, in fact, fitted a 326 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. Rumor says that Chevrolet execs didn't like having another two-seater sports car in the GM fold, especially one with a fiberglass body that held weight down to 2,200 pounds. GM execs took one look at the two concepts in 1965 and shut the project down. The two XP-833s lived in a garage for years, Collins and his colleague Bill Killen getting permission to buy the cars from GM in 1973 before Collins left to help engineer the DeLorean DMC-12. It wasn't until just before Collins departed that the XP-333 got the name Banshee.
