Goodyear bias-ply tires, and are not reproduction.   the car is incredible.  only took it to 1 show and won 1 trophy recently.  exhaust trumpets on new exhaust.  is missing the original intake, distributor(has HEI) and exhaust manifolds.  has the old mickey thompson headers that were on the car and wrapped old-school drag style. has a new gas tank and was gone through to make sure good to run prior to the recent car show i took the car to.  people went nuts over the car.  the guys at Original Parts Group saw the car and were extremely impressed by the build quality of the car. THIS IS NO CLONE and I HAVE PHS PAPERWORK.  all finishes correct in the right places(as i've had several GTO's and always consult my GTO expert and judge who judges events across the country for GTO events)..needs little to be 100%...if you want date coded manifold/carb/dist. i can set you up with the right person(s). engine rebuilt, trans rebuilt, diff rebearinged when restored. drives nice, runs nice...just nice, nice, nice through and through.  if you were disappointed when you get the car, i'd have to say you are nuts and perhaps pickier than i've ever been.  The reserve is $36,000.00. got that into it, and more-affraid to really add up the real costs.  got correct nuts, bolts, fasteners in the correct places...high-effort went into this to be correct...not 'mickey moused'.  not a rust bucket...prior to being restored we had to repair small area at rear window corners...repair done correctly.  quarters good, doors, roof, fenders were all rust free.  CA car that had been mostly covered in sunny OC, CA for decades prior to the restoration...thankfully saved me from much rust to deal with.  look at the pictures and it looks great...pictures do not do this car justice and probably nicer than most freshly restored gto's.  any more questions, just ask please... should mention that there is no warranty or guarantees on the car, and is AS-IS.  it is nearly 50 years old after all.  just check out the pictures and see what you think. No PayPal -sorry yal.

i'm hoping when you've read the description, that, it is understood; this is a ram-air package that was added to a non-originally ram-air car...although it is a 4speed car with original motor, trans, differential...just trying to make it clear and no confusion...thanks for looking.


On Sep-04-14 at 13:29:07 PDT, seller added the following information:

a/c works but is r12 currently.  Bryant Pontiac license frame found and in the vehicle-is broken...sorry, but it is there.  will add more as I receive messages asking questions.

Junkyard Gem: 2010 Pontiac G6

Sat, Sep 12 2020

What makes a discarded car a gem? Sometimes it's a car we all agree is very cool, and other times it's a car that tells us something about automotive history. Today's Junkyard Gem is the latter type: one of the very last Pontiacs sold, before The General shut out the lights forever on the storied marque after 84 years. The G6 was Pontiac's Epsilon-platform-based car, sibling to the Chevy Malibu, Saturn Aura, and Saab 9-3 (plus a bunch of Europe-only machinery). The very last Pontiac ever built was a white 2010 G6 sedan like this one (all '10 G6s were sedans, the coupe and convertible having been nixed in 2009), though that car was built in January of 2010 and this one came off the line in July of 2009. They build Bolts at the Orion Assembly plant these days. The higher-zoot G6s came with V6s or even V8s, but this car has "fleet machine" written all over it and has the base 2.4-liter Ecotec four-banger making 164 horsepower. Pontiac shoppers in the United States could buy the Vibe as a 2010 model as well, while Mexican Pontiac dealerships also sold new G2s (known as the Spark here) that year. The G6 was The Final Pontiac, though, bookending a run that began with the 1926 Pontiac Six. This one will go to its grave with the original owner's manual still inside. Even the cheapest 2010 G6s came with an AUX jack for the radio, a feature that was still maddeningly hard to find in rental cars a decade ago. This content is hosted by a third party.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.
