DESCRIPTION Royal Pontiac of Royal Oak, Michigan was the epicenter of Pontiac performance for a unique decade that began in the late 1950s. The most famous Royal product of that period was the Bobcat tuning kit that transformed the GTO into an instant drag strip terror. No-one worked the Bobcat magic better than Royal’s Performance Service Manager, the legendary Milt Schornack, who prepared a seemingly endless parade of Royal-sponsored racers including the most famous of them all, the 1966 Royal GeeTO Tiger. Milt Schornack has personally overseen the construction of this fabulous replica of the original 1966 Royal GeeTO Tiger, and the result is a roaring success. Instantly identifiable by its Tiger Gold paint and Royal livery, the car uses a Bobcat-tuned 389 CI Tri Power Ram Air V-8, Hurst-shifter with Line Lock and a Safe-T-Track positraction rear end with boxed control arms, hooking up through M&H Racemaster “cheater” slicks on rare Hurst wheels. For fans of the original Royal GeeTO Tiger, it’s 1966 all over again! HIGHLIGHTS I bought this car from the gentleman who won it at the Mecum auction in January, 2011. This car realized $55,000.00 (plus 6% Buyer's Premium; Total Sale Price of $58,300.00) at the Mecum auction on January, 2011 in Kissimmee, Florida.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
Celebrate the summer solstice by building the Pontiac Solstice shooting brake GM never did
Fri, Jun 21 2019Happy summer solstice, everyone! To celebrate, we have a particularly unusual eBay find connected to the Pontiac Solstice sports car. A seller has leftover inventory of fiberglass hardtops designed to turn the Pontiac Solstice roadster into a shooting brake. The seller says they came from a since-closed Indiana company, and they're clearly inspired by another aftermarket part and even a GM concept that never saw the light of day. We'll start from the beginning: the stillborn Chevy Nomad concept. It was a concept that came out about the same time as the original Solstice concept, and it was clearly based on the same platform, featuring a small two-door body and a long nose. It also had unashamedly retro Nomad wagon design cues and cues from the original Corvette. The car never saw production, but clearly people were interested in having a wagon-like sports car. That brings us to the next bit of history with an aftermarket hardtop developed by German company EDAG. We saw a prototype in person, and the overall shape seemed to fit the car — and the wraparound window design certainly seemed Nomadic. Besides the unique look, the hardtop and its functional hatch made the Solstice roadster's miniscule cargo space far more usable. It doesn't appear many of the tops were sold, though. These tops on eBay look very similar to the EDAG tops, though it's not clear if they're a direct replica or something similar. Being that the parts are leftover inventory, the seller notes that some of the tops may be missing pieces for installation, so only those who are handy with bodywork and fasteners, or who are able to lean on someone who is, need apply. Even with some extra work, if you really want a Solstice shooting brake, this is likely easier and cheaper than commissioning a shop to custom-build a roof for your. If you're interested, check out the link. They're $499.99 apiece, and the seller will also provide a set of seals and gaskets for the top for an extra $125.
