1969 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J Barn Find The Grand Prix was introduced by Pontiac in 1962 replacing the Ventura. It was essentially a standard Catalina with minimal outside chrome trim and a sportier interior with bucket seats as well as a center console. In 1969 DeLorean ordered the development of an all new Grand Prix which was smaller, lighter, had its own body and brought a new level of style and luxury to the intermediate class. The new body had a Coke bottle shape as well as other styling cues from the Duesenberg as well as the longest hood Pontiac ever produced which gave the Grand Prix a feel of high luxury without the high cost. This particular car has been sitting on blocks for over 15 years and is a true barn find. It is equipped with a 350hp 400ci V8, a Turbo 400 tranny and a 10 bolt posi rear end with 3:23 gears. Other options on this car include A/C, 15” rally rims, power windows, power locks, tilt, power steering, power brakes and front disc brakes. The A/C compressor has been removed and is in the trunk. The stereo is an aftermarket shaft stereo so the dash was not cut to install it. It was just completely serviced which included fresh oil, a new oil filter, spark plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires and a new air filter. The tranny was also serviced which included a new filter, gasket and fluids. The brakes were just gone through as well. It also has a new fuel pump, new fuel lines, a new alternator and a new battery. It currently has a small exhaust leak which is really the only thing in need of immediate attention should you want to drive this car as is. The only other concerns are that the center cap for the steering wheel is missing and the blinkers are not working. This would make a great driver or a great restoration project.

GM recalling another 1.3-million cars over power steering woes
Mon, 31 Mar 2014When it rains, it pours. General Motors has announced yet another major recall, covering 1.3 million units in the American market over concerns that the power steering could suddenly fail. As reported by The Detroit News' David Shepardson, GM has now recalled nearly ten times as many cars as it did all of last year.
It's important to note that should this problem arise in these cars, the steering won't fail completely, however, power steering could suddenly stop functioning. Manual steering would still be possible, but as GM says, there's an increased risk of accidents, particularly at lower speeds.
Like the ignition switch recall, this latest problem covers a wide range of vehicles from Chevrolet, Saturn and Pontiac. Normally, we'd give you the full rundown in paragraph form, but the variety of models and model years means a list is just easier. So, have a look, directly from GM's press release:
A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673
Fri, Apr 9 2021This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.

'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
