I am relisting this due to a non-paying buyer. Please don't bid it you don't have the money. Also I have lowered the price to rock bottom for a quick sale. There is more money in the restoration of this car than I am asking for the entire vehicle so it's a great buy at this price.

This is a beautiful car that is super fast and fun. It has a real stock look right down to the factory rally wheels but look out there is a monster under the hood! We used to call a car like this a "Sleeper". It's great fun to watch someone's face when you start it up. The car had a complete rotisserie restoration approximately 10 years ago but has only been driven 6,000 miles since then. Here's what has been done: Complete engine build of a Pontiac 455 switched to 7K3 heads, SRP pistons, Eagle rods, SS Valves and guides, Comp Cams camshaft,Edelbrock Torker II intake, Edelbrock 750 cfm Performer carburetor, MSD ignition, Desert Cooler radiator. The transmission is a TCI Streetfighter TH400 with a 2300 rpm stall converter and stainless steel lines. During the restoration the frame was blasted and epoxy primed and sheet metal work included new GM front fenders. Also has all new suspension including ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks and a quick ratio steering box. The car has been upgraded to power front disc brakes. The interior was all redone including door panels, headliner, seat covers and dash pad. Front and rear windshields were replaced.  I think the color of this car is beautiful especially in the sunlight and it really makes the car look more modern and upscale. 
It has a high lift cam so it has a pretty serious lope at idle and it really flies when you stab the throttle. It never runs hot and has very high oil pressure. 
I try to do the best disclosure possible so here are the defects that I'm aware of: The paint is beautiful but it is not a $10,000 show car paint job and there are a few small scratches and one door ding. I believe the scratches could be buffed out. The original radio is in the dash but does not work and the antenna mast is broken off. Wipers work but the switch is hinky. There are some scratches in the rear window trim. That's about all I can think of. Really the car is very nice overall. This is not a junker. Also I cannot see any rust.
One more disclaimer:  This is not the car you buy for your daughter to go to college in (it's fast and loud) but If you want to go out on the weekend and have some fun then this is the car for you.
Now for the usual car sale stuff: PLEASE don't bid if you cannot buy! It cost $$ and wastes everyones time. The car is being sold as-is with no warranty and no returns or refunds allowed. I highly recommend that you come and inspect (or hire an inspection) of any car before buying. I am posting a lot of photos but please fee free to ask any questions. And no I will not ship the car to India or release it on a cashiers check that has not cleared yet or any other silly scam. I will however try to help work with your shipper to get them the car if needed. Also trades rarely work out but if you feel you must ask I will consider them. If you buy the car I will require a good faith deposit of $1000 via PayPal within 48 hours unless other arrangements are made. The car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early in case of a local sale. Thanks for looking.

Toyota urges owners of old Corolla, Matrix and RAV4 models to park them until airbags are replaced

Mon, Jan 29 2024

DETROIT — Toyota and General Motors are telling the owners of about 61,000 older Corolla, RAV4, Matrix/ Pontiac Vibe models to stop driving them because their Takata airbag inflators are at risk of exploding and hurling shrapnel. The urgent warning Monday covers: Certain Corolla compact cars and Matrix hatchbacks from the 2003 and 2004 model years. RAV4 small SUVs from 2004 and 2005. Also covered are about 11,000 Pontiac Vibes from 2003 and 2004, which are essentially the same as the Matrix and were made at the same California factory. Most of the vehicles are in the U.S. “If the airbag deploys, a part inside is more likely to explode and shoot sharp metal fragments, which could cause serious injury or death to the driver or passengers,” Toyota said in a statement. Owners can go to nhtsa.gov/recalls and enter their 17-digit vehicle identification number to see if their cars are affected. If you're not the original owner of the vehicle, the manufacturer's recall letter might not reach you, so be sure to do the VIN check. The recalled RAV4s have Takata driver's airbags while the Corolla and Matrix models have them on the passenger side. The Corolla and Matrix also are under a separate recall because their airbags can be deployed without a crash, the company said. Both companies said owners should contact a local dealer instead of driving the cars in for repairs. Dealers will provide options such as mobile repair, towing the car to a dealer, or vehicle pickup and delivery. Takata used volatile ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion to inflate airbags in a crash. But the chemical propellant can deteriorate over time when exposed to high temperatures and humidity. It can explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister and spewing shrapnel. At least 26 people have been killed in the U.S. by Takata inflators since May 2009, and at least 30 have died worldwide including people in Malaysia and Australia. In addition, about 400 people have been injured. The exploding airbags sent Takata of Japan into bankruptcy. The potential for a dangerous malfunction led to the largest series of auto recalls in U.S. history. About 100 million inflators were recalled worldwide. Recalls Pontiac Toyota Takata airbag recall

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac G6

Sat, Sep 12 2020

What makes a discarded car a gem? Sometimes it's a car we all agree is very cool, and other times it's a car that tells us something about automotive history. Today's Junkyard Gem is the latter type: one of the very last Pontiacs sold, before The General shut out the lights forever on the storied marque after 84 years. The G6 was Pontiac's Epsilon-platform-based car, sibling to the Chevy Malibu, Saturn Aura, and Saab 9-3 (plus a bunch of Europe-only machinery). The very last Pontiac ever built was a white 2010 G6 sedan like this one (all '10 G6s were sedans, the coupe and convertible having been nixed in 2009), though that car was built in January of 2010 and this one came off the line in July of 2009. They build Bolts at the Orion Assembly plant these days. The higher-zoot G6s came with V6s or even V8s, but this car has "fleet machine" written all over it and has the base 2.4-liter Ecotec four-banger making 164 horsepower. Pontiac shoppers in the United States could buy the Vibe as a 2010 model as well, while Mexican Pontiac dealerships also sold new G2s (known as the Spark here) that year. The G6 was The Final Pontiac, though, bookending a run that began with the 1926 Pontiac Six. This one will go to its grave with the original owner's manual still inside. Even the cheapest 2010 G6s came with an AUX jack for the radio, a feature that was still maddeningly hard to find in rental cars a decade ago. This content is hosted by a third party.

Junkyard Gem: 1991 Pontiac Grand Am LE with Quad 4 Engine

Wed, May 9 2018

GM introduced the N-Body compact platform with the Oldsmobile Calais and Pontiac Grand Am for the 1985 model year and continued building N-based cars through 1998. Most of these cars weren't interesting from an enthusiast standpoint, but a handful rolled off the assembly line with raucous DOHC Oldsmobile Quad 4 engines and manual transmissions, and those cars were plenty of fun. Here's a 1991 Grand Am with that rare setup, photographed in a self-service yard in California's Central Valley. The base engine in the 1991 Grand Am was the 110-horsepower, 2.5-liter pushrod Iron Duke, an engine that might have been fine on a Romanian tractor in 1953 but had no place on an American street car as the 21st century approached. Fortunately, GM started bolting the modern 2.3-liter DOHC Quad 4 engine into 1988 cars, and this was a proper four-cylinder. The Quad 4 ran a little rough and uncivilized, and it had its share of reliability problems, but you could rev the piss out of it and it made good power. In 1991, this engine was rated at 180 hp. That made this 2,592-pound sedan pretty quick. Unfortunately, the slushboxization of America had progressed with depressing rapidity during the 1980s, and by 1991 most Grand Am buyers — even the ones who opted for the Quad 4 — chose the automatic transmission. That didn't happen with this car, though — it boasts a rugged Getrag 5-speed instead of the happiness-amputating three-speed automatic. Yes, that's the kind of odometer reading you'd expect to see on an Accord or Maxima from this era. Someone loved this car and took care of it. Here we see an interesting mix of 1980s and 1990s car-radio technology. CD players in cars were still costly luxury items in 1991, seldom seen in affordable cars like the Grand Am, while 1980s-style slider-style EQ controls were on the way out. This Delco unit straddles both decades nicely. I seek out Quad 4-equipped cars during my junkyard travels, and I have photographed quite a few: this '89 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Cutlass Calais, this '90 Grand Am, this '91 Quad 442, this '93 Achieva SCX, and this '98 Cavalier Z24. It's a shame that Buick never put the Quad 4 in the Reatta, which was a fine car ruined by a somnolent and obsolete V6. The music in this ad is even more early-1990s than Crystal Pepsi.
