Condition: UsedA vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Most of the defects on this car are cosmetic in nature. The car could use a fresh paint job as the paint is starting to pit and chip in spots and there are a few minor rust spots; by the rear window and on the passenger door. Brakes could be gone through, as they are not the best (are they ever on classic cars?). Feels like the drivers side brake grabs before the passenger side, rear brakes are weak. Exhaust was installed in the early 90's and is in good shape but there is an exhaust leak by the passenger side exhaust manifold where it bolts to the motor. Drivers and passenger bucket seats have tears and could be refinished. Very front part of dash needs fresh paint. Cracks in the vinyl on the drivers door panel and on the center console compartment lid. Bumpers are solid but could use re-chroming. Rest of the chrome is in good shape."

1969 PONTIAC GRAND PRIX MODEL J.

I am selling this 69 Grand Prix for my parents. This car has a lot of potential as it is solid and straight. We (my siblings, their kids, and myself) rebuilt the car 22 years ago for my parents 35th anniversary and as they are getting up there in age they are ready to part with it. We gave the car a fresh coat of paint, went through the motor, and cleaned up the interior prior to giving it to them. The car has the 400 Pontiac Motor and is the original motor, transmission, and rear end. Plenty of power to get you scooting down the road in a hurry. Hit the gas and hang on.

HISTORY

The car sat at a neighbor's house for a number of years and after a lot of nagging, we were able to pick it up. To my knowledge, they were the original owners. We then rebuilt the car and gave it to my parents for their 35th anniversary. When we gave it to them the car had roughly 100,000 miles on it so they only drove it about 16,000 miles. Several of the trips they took were up to the St. Ignace car show in June (about a 500 - 600 mile round trip) and the car received a lot of good looks and even more good compliments (NICE RIDE!!!). The rest of the time it sat in the garage at their house, driving it occasionally just for a leisurely cruise. It pains us to see this car go as I-t has quite a bit of sentimental value but feel that this is the right thing to do. If it sells, it sells. If not, I guess it stays in the family (most of us are hoping for the later). However, it is my parents car and their decision so I respect that from them also.

DETAILS

The car is in good condition and is solid throughout but needs some refreshing to make it pristine. The car drives nice down the road. Engine is solid and was gone through when we rebuilt the car. We did some honing of the pistons and put a little bigger cam in it. Also put new seals and gaskets but did not change the rings. Compression and visual checks showed that they were in good condition. Unfortunately we did not put new gaskets on the exhaust manifolds and there is now a leak on the passenger side. Other than that, the exhaust is in great condition, with dual exhaust running all the way back. With the over-sized cam, it sounds great when idling as well as when it is going down the road. The breaks could use some work as it pulls to the drivers side when you first hit the breaks, telling me something is going on with the front passenger break. The car does have power breaks and a new master cylinder was put on a few years back. Floor boards, rocker panels, trunk are all solid. Paint is fading in several areas, especially on the hood and roof. I think when we painted it we did not use the best paint as it did not hold up over the years (paint has come a long I think ways in 22 years). Also several chips and a few small rust spots, which are attached in the pictures.

CONTACT US

Take a look at the pictures as I think they will show you a lot about the car. I have tried to include all of the defects with the car in the description along with installing pictures of highlights and the defects. I feel that if I show all the defects, it will give better trust that I am not trying to pull a fast one on you. I have sold one other car on here and the feedback that he gives will tell you that I give the details as to the actual condition of the car I sell with no surprises. Overall, the car is in good condition and is a solid car front to back. If there are any pictures that you would like, email me and I will get the pictures as quick as I can (I do work a 40+ hour week so it could be later in the day when I get back with you). The car is also available for viewing if you can make it to the Holland area. Could possibly take a short video of the motor running and email it if that works, too.

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
