Up for a NO RESERVE auction
today is a gorgeous, 1 Owner 1997 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi sedan with 159k
miles. This SSEi was one of only 4,446 out of 74,015 total Bonnevilles produced
in 1997. I would rate the exterior of
this Bonneville to be in ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION for the age and mileage of
this vehicle. As you can see, this is a gorgeous vehicle. It is finished in
dark cherry metallic with a supple taupe leather interior. While the exterior
is not flawless, it shows extremely well for a 16 year old vehicle. The body
lines up nice and straight. The hood, doors and trunk open/close easily. All of
the exterior trim is intact and in good condition. This Bonneville has
obviously been garage kept. All of the glass and lenses are intact. The alloy
wheels show extremely well and are wrapped in a good set of rubber with above
average tread. There is a small scrape on the bottom right front bumper near
the fog light, and a touch up on the left front corner of the bumper. The airbag light is on, and the
interior lights do not appear to be functioning correctly. Please take your time and check
out each of the photos carefully to see how nice this SSEi looks!
I would rate the interior of
this Bonneville to be in EXCELLENT CONDITION for the age and mileage of this
vehicle. As you can see, the previous owner has taken excellent care of this
vehicle. Pride in ownership is extremely noticeable when looking over this
SSEi. The door panels are clean and tight. All of the buttons are present and
work properly. The carpets are clean and full looking throughout the cabin. A
full set of original SSEi floor mats are included as well. The dash and
headliner are clean. The leather seats are supple and comfortable. Both front
seats are power operated and go in a variety of different directions and have
many adjustments for your comfort. The power windows, locks, seats and mirrors
all work properly. The climate control system is fully automatic and appears to
be working properly. The air conditioner blows ICE COLD AIR, too. The audio
system is the original BOSE equalized sound system which powers up and works
properly, except that the bulb for the radio display is out. This is a common
Pontiac problem. It also has a tire inflator in the trunk, but I did not test
it. A full set of owners books are also included. The trunk is spacious and
clean.
Mechanically, this Bonny
appears to be in good running and driving condition. The 3.8L Supercharged V6
engine starts right up and runs smoothly. I did not see any leaks and the
engine does not smoke. Her road manners are excellent. It is truly a pleasure
to drive this car. The suspension feels tight. The steering feels neutral and
responsive. The brakes stop this full sized sport sedan with no issues. The
engine makes good power and cruises easily. The automatic transmission engages
smoothly and shifts normally with no issues. She is wearing current PA Safety
and Emissions inspection stickers good until July 2014. Out on the highway, she
cruises nice and straight with no complaints. This car was made for the interstate.
With the supercharger, this car can really get out of its own way! I had a new
water pump and set of drive belts
installed this week. The valve cover gaskets appear to be fairly new as well.
I welcome and encourage you
to come see, smell and drive this gorgeous Bonneville for yourself if you are
able. It is one of the finest examples I have seen in recent memory. I am sure
it will make its next owner extremely proud to drive it as well. As I stated before, no 16 year old vehicle is
perfect, this is why an in person inspection is encouraged. I try to point out
any apparent imperfections that I catch, but everyone analyzes things
differently. If you would like to discuss a BUY IT NOW Price, please contact me through eBay or at the number provided below. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to
contact Tim directly at 570-498-9301. Thank you and good luck bidding!

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.
Pontiac could be a phoenix rising from the ashes
Tue, Apr 18 2017Of the deceased American car companies from the past 50 years such as Hummer, Mercury, Oldsmobile, Plymouth and Saturn, I believe the most worthy resurrection would be Pontiac. After all, it's no longer politically correct to drive an ex-military vehicle with single-digit gas mileage, nor do Millennials and Gen-Xers desire AARP-associated nameplates such as Mercury or Oldsmobile. Pontiac was originally founded in 1893 by Albert G. North and Harry G. Hamilton as the Pontiac Buggy Company, due to their location in Pontiac, Michigan. But as the early 1900s automotive revolution took off, they shifted their focus from horse-drawn carriages to motorized transportation. Taking a cue from Oakland County where they were based, they rebranded their organization as the Oakland Motor Company. Within a couple years, sales of Oakland cars were so good that it caught the attention of General Motors and they bought the company. In 1926, GM premiered the first Pontiac and its name drew inspiration from the legendary Native American War Chief, who was famous for the Battle of Bloody Run and opposition of British forces. His likeness was used in early promotional materials as well as the vehicle's emblem which was referred to simply as the "Indian Head". In 1956, the outdated emblem was replaced with a new, sleeker logo that resembled a red arrow head. It was known as "The Dart" and featured a singular star in the center which may have been a nod to Pontiac's successful Star Chief model. The 1960s saw the introduction of several popular models such as the GTO and the Firebird. The GTO was initially offered as an option package on the 1964 Tempest, and the name was the brainchild of John Delorean, who would later go on to form his own eponymous automobile company. The Firebird debuted in 1967 as a pony-car foil to Ford's award-winning Mustang. Although mechanically similar to Chevrolet's Camaro, the Firebird boasted a distinct sheetmetal nose and tail to help visually distinguish it. The 1980s were another adventurous time for Pontiac, and GM took advantage of the sales momentum by running a successful ad campaign. It proclaimed "We Build Excitement" and highlighted an arrangement with musicians Daryl Hall and John Oats. The fiery Fiero was a home-run for Pontiac and it was introduced in 1983 as an '84 model. Not only was it the first U.S. produced mid-engine sports coupe, but it also utilized lightweight, dent-resistant body panels.
The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land
Thu, Oct 15 2015Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.
