up for sale is a 1966 pontiac bonneville sport coupe. i don`t know a whole lot about it i`m afraid. it has been sitting for two years and it used to run GREAT and sounded awesome, very powerful sounding. when my hubby just tried the engine it wouldn`t start, it just coughed and bucked if you know what i mean (i`m not a very technical girl, LOL) and he said the gas smells really bad. my hubby said that it needs to have the gas tank and so on flushed out and fresh gas put in, new spark plugs and so on. heres some very technical stuff he said i had to mention. the engine is a YF code which is 325 horse power according to what he found online. everything under the hood is original apart from an EDELBROCK manifold with a HOLLEY carburetor and HEADERS whatever they are!? and it has ELECTRONIC IGNITION. the car it has power steering. it used to have factory installed a/c but the compressor? is missing now and it has power brakes. apparently the bucket seats are very rare. we think the mileage of 97,000 miles is original but do not know for certain and have no way of telling. the floors are rusted in a few spots but they are still mostly very solid, the passenger front is the worst and will need to be fixed pretty soon. and there is rust in the trunk floor that was fixed years ago. there are some areas in the lower parts of the car that have been fixed years ago as well, my hubby said the rear window aperture will need some repair pretty much right away in his opinion, check out the pictures. there is a correct 66 steering wheel and column with the car to replace the wood steering wheel, which i think is kinda cool and racy looking. the ignition keys are long gone and the switch is out of the dash. my hubby said he had to 'hotwire it' which sounds very criminal to me, LOL. i have a clear title in hand but the car is LOCATED in GREENVILLE SOUTH CAROLINA at our other house. my ebay is address is listed as virginia and i can`t seem to change it, why is that mr ebay??? the car is going to need some work to be drivable on the highway again but it looks great and is worth putting a little time and effort into. they just don`t make cars this cool anymore!. the front bumper is bad and will need to be replaced. none of the power windows want to work, just some sort of buzzy noise when you press some of the buttons. the tires are cracking on the sides. all the carpets are out so a buyer can see all the floor pans, the carpets were no count anyway. we can take any pictures of any part of the car you like, just ask. we encourage buyers to come and check this car out in person, just call to make an appointment. we will help you to ship this car anywhere it needs to go and have already sent old cars to sweden, england and australia. to sum this one up its a very cool looking car but its still a project that you could get running and restore as you go so to speak. you will NOT be driving this car home, it will need to be trailered or whatever. my dad had LOTS of old cars mainly from the 1930`s and 40`s but he had many others of different years, he really loved old cars. right now we are clearing everything out but please remember we are NOT experts on this stuff so please ask questions before you buy and we will do our best to answer, if you need more pictures just ask. we have lots of other old car items listed right now for cadillac, lincoln, packard et cetera and will be listing more cars soon so please check our other old car auctions out. shipping overseas is no problem but please email for a shipping quote. if you want to phone you can call my hubby on 864 616 6860 up until 10 o`clock at night eastern time. PAYMENT IN FULL IN 7 DAYS. full payment by bank wire transfer or cash in person at pick up. buyer is responsible for shipping but we MAY be able to help with delivery, please ask. thanks, beverly. |

This Hoonigan mechanic's twin-turbo Trans Am is wonderful
Thu, Mar 24 2016What do you drive when you work on rally machines for a living? Probably a Subaru WRX, and that's what Gregg Hamilton had for a while until working on his car felt too much like his day job. So when he moved from New Zealand to the US to work for Ken Block (with a few stops along the way) he bought something entirely different. This is Gregg's 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It's a throwback to another time, but it's anything but stock. It has that magic combination of a big V8 with a manual transmission and rear drive, just like the tin-top racers Gregg watched in his Kiwi youth. He bought it sight unseen from its previous owner in Alabama, and has been tinkering with it ever since. There's something about the flared wheel arches and the classic Firebird gold-striped black livery that has us smitten. Scope out the six-minute clip above from Petrolicious and see if you don't fall for Gregg's Pontiac as well.
Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac Vibe
Wed, Apr 17 2024Just over a month before filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2009, General Motors announced that the 83-year-old Pontiac Division would be "phased out" by the end of 2010. Only three Pontiac vehicles were sold as 2010 models in the United States: the Solstice, Vibe and G6 (new G3s were sold here during 2010 but they were all 2009 models, while the G5 was available as a 2010 model only in Canada and Mexico). Today's bit of junkyard automotive history is one of the very last Vibes ever built, found in a yard near Denver, Colorado. This car is significant not just as one of the final vehicles to bear Pontiac badges but also as one of the last cars built by the New United Motor Manufacturing Incorporated GM-Toyota joint venture in California, better known as NUMMI. The NUMMI factory began life as GM's Fremont Assembly, which built its first vehicle (a C-Series pickup) in 1963 and closed in 1982 after building its final vehicle (an Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera). Rebooted as NUMMI, the first 1985 Chevrolet Nova (an Americanized AE82 Toyota Corolla Sprinter) rolled off the line in December of 1984. A quarter-century and better than eight million vehicles hence, NUMMI shut down production after its last Corolla was finished on April 1, 2010. While there was some noise about the Oakland Athletics building a new stadium on the site at the time, Tesla ended up buying most of the site soon after that. Tesla now builds more vehicles per year there than NUMMI ever did. The Vibe was co-developed with Toyota and based on the same platform as the ninth-generation Corolla. The Toyota Matrix was mechanically identical and was built in Canada, while the Japanese-market version (known as the Toyota Voltz) was built on the same NUMMI line as the Vibe and shipped across the Pacific. The Vibe/Matrix/Voltz got a redesign for the 2009 model year, but few noticed due to all the turmoil in the GM world at the time. The final Vibe was built in August 2009. This car was built in July of 2009, just before the end. It was living in West Texas just prior to coming to Colorado. El Paso is about a ten-hour drive from this car's current location. Once in the Centennial State, it got parked somewhere it shouldn't have been and ended up being auctioned to Pick Your Part. An occupant of this Vibe had time to sample some of the local agricultural products before that happened.
CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero
Fri, 26 Oct 2012At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."
