1967 Pontiac Gran Prix Convertible on 2040-cars
Port Charlotte, Florida, United States
1967 Pontiac Gran Prix Convertible to restore, this is a project car and cannot be driven on the highway in current condition. I purchased this car in May of 2009. I have driven only 9 miles since purchased back in 2009 just to check mechanicals and has been sitting over 3 years. 400 V8 starts and runs strong, no smoke or abnormal noise. Transmission shifted when driven and car will lot drive. Top is decent and working. Body was an older amateur restoration when purchased and needs some attention as shown in the photos. Floors are good to the best of my knowledge. Trunk floor has some rust under the mat. I have never removed the mat it appears to be glued down. The alternator and master cylinder were new in 2009. The brakes for the front work, the rear has a hole in the metal line to the right rear wheel. Brakes are good enough to lot drive only. Gas line has been disconnected at the fuel pump to keep old gas out of the engine. Starts and runs on a bottle so can be loaded on your transport with care. No cracked or broken glass, driver door glass does not stay on the track when lowered. Upholstery must be replaced. None of the electrical other than headlamps, turn signals and top have been checked and headlamp vacuum lines need attention to work. Pictures show the condition better than words. Florida sun has taken a toll on the clear coat and paint as shown. The last two photos are of the car in 2009. Rust in lower rockers and other areas as shown and will need to be stripped, do body work and repaint. I do have the lower rocker stainless for both sides. No spare wheel. Tires look good but will need to be replaced. The exhaust sounds great! Please ask any questions prior to bidding. no reserve high bid gets it. $500 non refundable deposit must be received by pay pal within 24 hours of auction end. No refund, return or negotiation after auction. Must be paid fully within 10 days and removed within 3 weeks maximum. Look over all photos for description and condition, these are hard to find and this will make an easy project for summer fun. Once payment is made and funds clear, title will be signed over to the buyer and car can be removed. Buyer is responsible for all shipping cost and arrangements for transport. I will assist in loading.

Drive plays Smokey, Bandit with turbo Trans Am
Sun, Jun 28 2015The modern trend for powertrains can be summed up with the simple maxim: cut displacement and add forced induction. Whether you are looking at the just-introduced 2016 Chevrolet Cruze or a BMW M3, this adage holds true. However, Pontiac's attempt at the idea goes all the way back in 1980 with the Firebird Trans Am and its turbocharged 4.9-liter V8. Drive's Mike Musto takes out a 1981 example to explain what makes this largely forgotten muscle car so special, and it certainly isn't performance. While a 4.9-liter V8 might sound like a lot in the modern world, keep in mind that only few years before the second-generation Trans Am was available with up to a staggering 7.5-liters of displacement. Turbocharging of road cars in the early '80s was quite archaic by today's standards, and the Firebird only managed around 200 horsepower with this mill. Without much go, the turbo Trans Am made up for a lack of power with lots of show. As Musto points out, the famous flaming chicken adorns practically every surface you can see on the coupe, and boost lights on the hood illuminate when the turbo is spinning. Musto still finds a lot to like about the turbo Trans Am. He even calls it "Burt Reynolds as an automobile." Find out why the coupe is so special in this entertaining clip.

Today, well, to be honest, it is more of the same, but in the case of this tastefully done 1969 Pontiac GTO, we don’t even care if you head over to the sweepstakes page to enter, just do it for the photos. ThatÂ’s right. As a self-described automotive photography snob myself, I have to say that the photos of this GTO are far and away the best IÂ’ve ever seen on Omaze. And while youÂ’re over there, might as well enter the drawing. Who doesnÂ’t want that lean, green, muscle machine in their driveway? IÂ’m more of a fastback Mustang guy, and even I was drooling over that GTO. Win a Restored 1969 Pontiac GTO - Enter at Omaze Here are the specs of the restored 1969 Pontiac GTO in question, according to Omaze: Maximum Seating: 5 Engine: 461 ci fuel-injected V8 Transmission: Tremec TKO600 5-speed manual Drivetrain: RWD Exterior Color: Verdero Green Interior Color: Black Maximum Horsepower: 575 hp Maximum Torque: 620 lb-ft Approximate Retail Value: $100,000 Cash Alt: $75,000 Special Features: Butler Performance-built EFI 461, Fast EFI v2.1, 3.73 Gears with Eaton Posi Traction, Wilwood 6-piston brakes with hydroboost, Ridetech Coilovers and muscle bars, Chassis Works billet drop spindles, staggered 18” Budnik billet wheels, Budnik steering wheel IÂ’m not the only one on the Autoblog staff who thinks this restoration is worthy of a little praise. News Editor Joel Stocksdale picked it above all the other current Omaze offerings for our holiday staff picks post. HereÂ’s what he had to say: “There are an awful lot of ways to build a restomod. And a lot of those ways can be boring or tasteless. This one is neither. This is a seriously classy Pontiac GTO. Under the hood is a 461 cu. in. V8 from Butler Performance that's based on an actual Pontiac V8, not just another Chevy engine. The whole thing is subtle with a low-key metallic green and clean gray wheels. There isn't any overly flashy chrome or decals. And the interior is the same with just an upgraded steering wheel, shifter and pedals in an otherwise stock cabin. Oh, and it has a manual.
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.
