Up for bids is this 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, not supercharged 3.8 liter engine.The supercharger is the only option this car does not have. I am selling it because I am in a wheelchair and the car is so low that I have a really hard time getting out of the car. I would have fixed the issues if I were to continue driving it, but the accessibility issue is why I don't fix it. I really liked driving the car and it will flat out go if you want it to. The hand controls do not go with the car and the trim under the dash will be restored to the factory configuration. I am pricing this car to sell because it still has a book value of over $5,000 with some models on Autotrader with more miles that are going for nearly $8,000 with all the options this car has. It will need some repair or I would be asking $4,000 or more for it. There is a lean on the car that I will try to have resolved before the end of the auction. Here is the story on the car.

I bought it about three years ago and have put less than 4,000 miles on it.It drives well and doesn't pull to the right or left. This car has some new parts, such as a new battery, two front tires have only around 4,000 miles on them (I did have four new tires, but it was sitting at my mechanic's garage and someone stole the other two wheels and tires which he replaced with two new wheels and used tires), new headlight bulbs and lenses (as these lenses are prone to smoking over and being really dim at night), the rear tires are also in very good shape. The factory features include a working factory sunroof, leather interior in very good shape for its age, heated driver's seat, polished chrome wheels, Bose audio system with AM/FM CD player that works fine, the display works,
however, it is very dim. If the sun shines on it, you can see what the clock or digital readout says. It has the HUD or Head's Up Display that is still bright. All the windows go up and down now. When I got the car, only one window worked so I removed some from another car and replaced all the window regulators.

What the car needs: I believe it needs a new alternator as the battery charge goes down even after you drive it and you can hear the bearings squealing as well. The power steering pump is weak, but I have another from another car that will be included. No guarantee that it is any better, but it worked before. The tachometer quit working and when that happened, the car doesn't want to idle smooth so I believe it must be the throttle position sensor or another sensor going off. The clock spring in the steering wheel needs to be replaced. The radio controls on the steering wheel do not work and the Air Bag light are on because of the clock spring being bad. Paint on the hood is faded and cracked and the corners are damaged due to someone opening the hood too far and damaging the hood hinges, which is why the hood hinges are white and not black. I think if you are a mechanic, these sensors, alternator, and miscellaneous parts probably wouldn't amount to much. The clock spring is about $163 so do what you want there. 

For the engine and transmission, both run and perform as they should, or did before the engine sensors mentioned above started acting up. After the engine gets past the idle issue, it runs just fine. If you would like to see the car running, I have taken some video that I can e-mail you if interested. The engine and transmission are not original to the car.They are from a 2001 Grand Prix GT. The reason they were changed is that the previous owner had a small engine fire that damaged the wire harnesses and some of the plastic stuff on the engine. I had planned on reusing the factory engine but it turned out it had a bad rod bearing and the transmission had the overdrive out.Taking no chances, I decided to buy a donor car for the engine, transmission, and all wire harnesses that were damaged. The insulation under the hood protected it from the fire, but could use repainting as the clear coat had too much hardener in it and caused it to crack. The paint on the rest of the car needs a good buff/wax and I think it would be fine, with the exception of the header panel. The header has the clear coat as a little tired. The engine and transmission have 10,000 fewer miles on it than the odometer shows. The sensors that have gone bad on the car have just occurred in the last 200 miles or so. Prior to that, the car ran great. It still does, but only after you get passed the low idle speed.

I have the parts car that can be purchased if you want it too. It still has most of the interior, airbags, all the glass is good, cat back exhaust, all of the trim, and most of the body. What isn't there is the engine and transmission, the header panel, hood, rear deck and bumper (damaged from an accident). If you want the parts car, it is $350. I also have some 40th anniversary badges and the 40th anniversary chrome tailpipe extenders for $60 if interested in those.

I am selling this car at a reasonably low price due to the problems it has. I would easily ask $3,500 to $4,000 if it were fixed. As it sets, $2,250 is a good price for the car. $500 deposit due at end of auction. Remainder due in five days in cash. NO CHECKS! If you need this car shipped, I will work with a shipper of your choice after all payments are made and clear.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014



Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

World's only 1964 Pontiac XP-833 Banshee coupe for sale by Kia dealer

Mon, Apr 20 2020

It seems like there has been a spate of especially odd car sales in the first part of this especially odd year, from the numerous barn finds and homebrew specials to the time capsule cars — like the BMW wrapped in a protective bubble for 23 years. Napoli Kia in Milford, Connecticut, brings us another, via Motor1. Len Napoli is the dealership principal and die-hard Pontiac maven; his father opened Napoli Pontiac in 1958, and Len held onto the franchise until the early 2000s, just before GM shuttered the brand that built excitement. Napoli got hold of the 1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833 coupe concept, and put the car up for sale through his Kia dealership for $750,000. The exceptional price comes from the fact that Pontiac built two Banshee concepts in 1964, one this silver coupe with a red interior, the other a white roadster, making each concept a one-of-one collector car.      Motor Trend wrote a detailed piece on this one in 2013, the editorial tour hosted by Bill Collins, the Banshee's lead engineer. The short story is that GM exec John Z. DeLorean — yes, him —  gave approval to a small crew at Pontiac to create a two-seater sports car to compete with the Mustang, because GM had nothing to fend off the four-seat coupe that would sell one million units in just 18 months on the market. Collins and his team took inspiration from the 1963 Corvair Monza GT concept, working up a fiberglass body over a steel frame, with a 230-cubic-inch overhead-cam straight-six producing 165 horsepower and 216 pound-feet of torque, a four-speed manual transmission, and 9.5-inch drum brakes at all corners. The idea was that the XP-833 would be "an affordable and fun two-seat sports car," the concept demonstrating the base-model price leader offering a lengthy list of options for those who wanted more. The white roadster, in fact, fitted a 326 cubic-inch V8 under the hood. Rumor says that Chevrolet execs didn't like having another two-seater sports car in the GM fold, especially one with a fiberglass body that held weight down to 2,200 pounds. GM execs took one look at the two concepts in 1965 and shut the project down. The two XP-833s lived in a garage for years, Collins and his colleague Bill Killen getting permission to buy the cars from GM in 1973 before Collins left to help engineer the DeLorean DMC-12. It wasn't until just before Collins departed that the XP-333 got the name Banshee.

GM isn't liable for punitive damages in ignition switch cases

Wed, Nov 20 2019

NEW YORK — A federal appeals court said General Motors is not liable for punitive damages over accidents that occurred after its 2009 bankruptcy and involved vehicles it produced earlier, including vehicles with faulty ignition switches. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan said on Tuesday that the automaker did not agree to contractually assume liability for punitive damages as part of its federally-backed Chapter 11 reorganization. GM filed for bankruptcy in June 2009, and its best assets were transferred to a new Detroit-based company with the same name. The other assets and many liabilities stayed with "Old GM," which is also known as Motors Liquidation Co. Tuesday's 3-0 decision may help GM reduce its ultimate exposure in nationwide litigation over defective ignition switches in several Chevrolet, Pontiac and Saturn models. It is also a defeat for drivers involved in post-bankruptcy accidents, including those who collided with older GM vehicles driven by others, as well as their law firms. The ignition switch defect could cause engine stalls and keep airbags from deploying, and has been linked to 124 deaths. A lawyer for the drivers and their law firms did not immediately respond to requests for comment. GM had no comment. Circuit Judge Dennis Jacobs said GM's agreement to acquire assets "free and clear" of most liabilities excused it from punitive damages claims for Old GM's conduct. He also noted that the judge who oversaw the bankruptcy concluded that the new company could not be liable for claims that the "deeply insolvent" Old GM would never have paid. The decision upheld a May 2018 ruling by U.S. District Judge Jesse Furman in Manhattan, who oversees the ignition switch litigation. Drivers have sought a variety of damages in that litigation, including for declining resale values. GM has recalled more than 2.6 million vehicles since 2014 over ignition switch problems. It has also paid more than $2.6 billion in related penalties and settlements, including $900 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice criminal case. The case is In re: Motors Liquidation Co, 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 18-1940. Government/Legal Chevrolet Pontiac Saturn Safety gm ignition switch
