This is my brothers 1956 Pontiac Custom Star Chief 2dr Hardtop .He is the third owner of this very original Pontiac the milage is indeed 43,278. This car was purchased new  in a small town in Western Pennsylvania. 4 years later the husband passed away, the wife attempted to drive this rather large vehicle and on one of her early attempts hit the mailbox comming into the driveway denting the hood. She put the car in the garage where it sat for the next 35 years. The second owner purchased the car at her estate sale 1996. He had the gas tank cleaned and sealed flushed the cooling system, changed the oil and filter, added a new fuel pump and a tune up, new battery and fresh gas hit the key and she fired right up. Next he replaced the hood had the body refinished to original colors and the seats and door panels recovered. He enjoyed the car for the next 8 years. Advancing age and failing health prompted him to put this car up for sale. My brother purchased it in 2004 and has enjoyed it since. He took the car with him to Indianapolis Indiana where he resides. In the years he has owned it it performed flawlessly with only routine maintenance needed. This car can be driven anywhere without concern, it runs that good. the motor is amazingly quiet the trans shifts as new, and the ride is outstanding. The tires are the only things showing their age, good tread but starting to dryrot. My brother had a health issue last year the results are keeping him from enjoying the car, so it is time for a new steward to enjoy this car. Please enjoy the Pics I have posted. Call me( I am handling this for my brother) or ask questions via the auction. Remember this is not a show car! It is a car that can can be enjoyed being driven and shown with confidence. Again the car is located in Indiananpolis Indiana. Payment is as follows $500.00 at close of sale, Cashiers check or pay-pal. Balance within 10 days Cashiers check or Pay-pal. There is a clear Indiana title, pickup or shipping is new owners arrangement. My cell # is 412-445-3858 ask for Ed

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll

Tue, 25 Feb 2014



588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.

Win a car while supporting a charity this holiday season

Thu, Dec 9 2021

Autoblog may receive a share from purchases made via links on this page. Pricing and availability are subject to change. No donation or payment necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes. See official rules on Omaze.  The leaves have fallen, there is a crispness to the air and there have already been multiple forecasts of snow, which can only mean one thing: We're coming up on Christmas. While you've been busy thinking about what kind of gifts you're going to give your loved ones, we here at Autoblog have been deciding which dream car we'd like to see in our driveway on Christmas morning. A car for Christmas does seem a bit extreme and expensive, but thanks to these Omaze sweepstakes, it doesn't have to break the bank. Here are the current sweepstakes we'd like to win this holiday season. Win a DeLorean DMC-12 - Enter at Omaze James Riswick, West Coast Editor: Let me be clear, the DeLorean is a pretty terrible car. Its speedometer doesn't even go up to the fabled 88 mph. Seriously, look at the pictures: tops out at 85. Also, who services a DeLorean? And how much would it cost to maintain one? $AlloftheMoney or just $MostoftheMoney? So owning it could be a total headache, but at least by winning one through Omaze, you'd be relieved of the financial burden of buying one in the first place. You'd also get the chance to own one of the most iconic cars of all time, one that transcends car enthusiasm and is instantly recognizable by everyone as the "Back to the Future" car. Plus, "everyone" doesn't know that the DeLorean was actually a pretty terrible car. So, I already own James Bond's car from 1995, why not Doc Brown's from 1985? Win a 2021 Bentley Bentayga V8 - Enter at Omaze Eddie Sabatini, Production Manager: Why am I choosing a +$200K Bentley SUV? Because even if I could afford one I'd never be able to wrap my head around spending money on one. So why not try to win one by donating what I can afford to a good cause? I first saw the Bentley Bentayga up close and personal at the Frankfurt Motor Show (I forget which year but I'll never forget this SUV). And although it looks like the Bentayga Omaze is offering up doesn't have the opulent tailgate setup I fell in love with when I saw it in Frankfurt, I'd still enter to win. Win a 1968 Mercedes-Benz 280SL Pagoda - Enter at Omaze Byron Hurd, Editor: Few automotive marketing efforts stick out in my head more than the Mercedes-Benz holiday spots and magazine placements.
