I have for sale a very good running and driving 1963 Pontiac Bonneville convertible. I purchased the car from the original owner of 50 years. This Bonneville comes with the original invoice and Pontiac Inspecto-Plate. The 389 engine starts right up and runs strong with automatic trans that works well. The car rides nicely also. The odometer reads 71217. The power top works well and is in good condition. Nice top boot included.
The original interior is in remarkable condition for its age. The interior is fairly rare with bucket seats, factory console, and floor shift automatic. The car also has the factory manifold vacume guage that works. The driver's seat has a couple of rips/seam separations and the dash has the common (4) cracks. The front/reat of the dash is very good. The guages are clear. The carpet is worn. The door panels are really good and the back seat is very good. The rear seat side panels are good too. The underside of the top is nice.
The car has power steering and power brakes that work well. Good glass. The chrome is presentable and the stainless is too. The rear bumper does have a shallow dent. The engine sounds good and I have seen no leaks. The automatic trans shifts well and brakes are good. The car has manual windows that work. The radial tires are roadworthy and I have driven the car several times this summer with no problems.
The body is pretty good for 50 years old, but the rear quarters have had past repair. I am no bodyman, but I can see evidence of repair. The trunk floor has also been attended to in the past, but seems solid. The driver's side floor pan also has a small patch present. The balance of the floors and frame appear to be very good. The bottom edges of the rockers appear very good. The frame does have 1 to 1 1/2 inch holes present on the outer surface of the frame rail just in front of each rear wheel. This area does seem very solid there though. The car does ride well. Underside has the usual surface rust and some scaling.
Everything on the car is currently working except the clock. The radio works, as does: wipers, battery charge guage, fuel guage, horn, headlights and dims, all turn signals and their green arrow indicators, brake lights, heater and defroster and 3-speed blower, oil pressure guage, temp guage, speedometer and odometer. The radio is a JVC stereo cassette. I have not tried the cassette. Forgive me if I have ommitted any small feature either working or not.
Overall, this is a very useable and enjoyable 1963 Pontiac Bonneville convertible that runs and drives well. The car looks great with its white body and teal-colored interior, especially with the top down and the soft convertible boot snapped on. The car has plenty of power and sounds and rides good. The real wood in the dash is even in fair shape. A good 60's Pontiac convertible driver.
Please feel free to ask any questions. Personal inspection is available and encouraged. Sold As-Is.

GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes
Sat, Jun 20 2015General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.

Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander.

Junkyard Gem: 1984 Pontiac Fiero with supercharged 3800 V6 swap
Tue, Dec 31 2019Like the Corvair, the Vega, and the Citation, the Pontiac Fiero was a very innovative machine that ended up causing General Motors more headaches than happiness, and Fiero aficionados and naysayers continue to beat each other with tire irons (figuratively speaking, I hope) to this day. The General has often proved willing to take the occasional big gamble and huge GM successes in engineering prowess (including the first overhead-valve V8 engine for the masses and the first real-world-usable true automatic transmission) and marketing brilliance (e.g., the Pontiac GTO and related John DeLorean home runs) meant that the idea of a mid-engined sporty economy car (or economical sports car) got a shot from the suits on the 14th floor. Sadly, the Fiero ended up being the marketplace victim of too many issues to get into here, and The General pulled the plug immediately after the 1988-model-year suspension redesign that made the Fiero the sports car it should have been all along. But what if the plastic Pontiac had never suffered from the misery of the gnashy, pokey Iron Duke engine and had been built from the start with a screaming supercharged V6 making way better than 200 horsepower? The final owner of today's Junkyard Gem sought to make that very Fiero, by dropping in one of the many supercharged 3.8-liter V6s installed in 1990s and 2000s GM factory hot rods. The first Fieros came out in 1983 for model year 1984, and the only engine available that year was the Iron Duke 2.5-liter four-cylinder, which generated its 92 horsepower with the full-throated song of a Soviet tractor stuck in the freezing mud of a Polish sugar-beet field. The 2M4 badging stood for "two seats, mid-engine, four cylinders," just as the numbers in the Oldsmobile 4-4-2 once represented "four carburetor barrels, four-speed manual transmission, dual exhaust." This car is a top-trim-level SE model, which listed for $9,599 (about $24,200 today). The no-frills Fiero cost just $7,999 that year, making these cars far cheaper than the only other reasonably affordable new mid-engined car Americans could buy at that time: the $13,990 Bertone (aka Fiat) X1/9. The Toyota MR2 appeared in North America as a 1985 model with a base price of $10,999 and promptly siphoned off the car-buying cash from a bunch of potential Fiero shoppers.
