About the car:
2-door hardtop, Pontiac 350 CID, TH350 transmission, power steering & brakes, A/C (not hooked up), body in primer. Sport model means it has bucket seats, floor shifter, luxury interior, etc… I bought this car approx. 10 yrs ago from a friend who did bodywork. He replaced both rear quarters with new sheetmetal, primered the body, ready for paint. Some lady eventually hit the car on the driver’s side, causing damage: right fender – small dent; driver fender, door, rocker panel, B-pillar and quarter panel – damaged; front control arm(s) – bent from hitting the curb. Technically runs & drives, but realistically the steering is goofy with the bent control arm(s), and the door doesn’t latch shut because of the bent B-pillar, so it’s a small project car that could quickly become a daily driver.

The good:
- Car is overall in good condition. Some surface rust like you would normally see in various places, but nothing that can’t be brushed/sanded & painted.
- Brown interior is in overall great condition with some wear due to the age – dash and headliner are original and pretty much like new; door panels are like new, but vinyl on handles have cracks; center console is great, just needs compartment lid; passenger seat is like new, except for 1 small tear (rest of seats probably need re-upholstered); interior carpet has some wear in driver area and stain in back seat, but is otherwise in great condition.
- Engine runs great, transmission shifts perfect
- Very solid original car

The bad:

- Obviously, the damage from the accident
- Driver & rear seats have tears (mentioned above)
- Some son of a b1t5h tried to break into the trunk and popped the lock out, but was too stupid to figure out how to open it afterwards. The metal around the tumbler and edges got bent, but should hopefully be fixable decently easily.

Many new parts come with the car:

Replacement parts that I bought due to the damage:
- Driver’s side door – rust-free door off of an AZ or TX car (already hung)
- Rocker panel – new from Original Parts Group
- Quarter panel – new from Original Parts Group
- Upper & lower control arms + disc brake assemblies & booster (to upgrade from drums) off of a 69 GTO, I believe, but I’m not sure

Upgrades already done:
- Powertrax performance locker (rear-end)
- Intake manifold off of a ’67 Pontiac 350, I believe
- Modified glass packs (nice deep bass sounds awesome)
- Rear suspension: springs have been replaced with heavy duty truck springs for tighter ride (may have originals laying around, but these are perfect)
- Ignition: points system has been replaced with HEI

Upgrade parts not yet installed:
- Hellwig sway bar
- Energy Suspension polyurethane control arm bushings
- B&M Stage 1 & 2 shift kit
- Moog matched set front coil springs
- Federal Mogul upper ball joints
- Federal Mogul lower ball joints
- Federal Mogul inner & outer tie rods complete kits
- Federal Mogul idler arm
- 4 BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires 255/60R15 (2) + 235/60R14 (2) on chrome Progressive rims – all brand new

+ other miscellaneous hardware, trim badging, etc...

I don't have the time to take on this project, and I need to make room in the garage, so my loss is your gain. Over $4,000 in parts & extras alone, reserve is set low so I can move it.

GM replacing passenger airbags in over 243,000 Pontiac Vibes

Sat, Jun 20 2015

General Motors is repairing over 243,000 additional examples of the 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe in the US and Canada to replace their Takata-supplied passenger-side airbag inflators. The company has no reports of irregular deployments in the models, though. These aren't actually newly included vehicles in the massive safety campaign. As a twin to the Toyota Matrix, the Vibe was already included in Toyota's figures, but as Pontiac-branded vehicles, GM dealers are taking care of these replacements. They have been covered as part of the Takata campaign in the past. Toyota expanded its own Takata recall to passenger-side components for 1.365 million vehicles on June 16. Earlier, General Motors also issued a campaign for 330,198 examples of the 2007 and 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 3500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD, and 3500HD pickups to replace their passenger-side parts. After exposure to moisture, it's possible for these inflators to ignite too quickly in an accident and spray shrapnel at occupants. GM Statement The Vibes are included in two Toyota recall campaigns - one for high absolute humidity (HAH) areas and one for non-HAH areas. Both are considered national recalls even though only vehicles in certain HAH states and territories are in the recall. Total Pontiac Vibe passenger air bag numbers for MY 2003-2007 (U.S. and Canada only): High Absolute Humidity 89,719 Non High Absolute Humidity areas 252,685 These are the totals, which include about 99,000 previously recalled. GM knows of no field issues - irregular deployments - with these air bag inflators.

Pontiac should come back as a performance division for GM

Thu, Apr 6 2017

For decades the Pontiac brand was known as GM's performance brand. From the 1964 Pontiac GTO, to the 1967 Firebird, to the 1984 Fiero, to the 2006 Solstice Turbo, and 2009 G8 GXP, Pontiac had a reputation for building exciting cars, with bold styling and performance to back it up. When the Camaro was killed off in 2002, the Pontiac Firebird died off with it, and the last Pontiacs were built in early 2010. But with names like G3, G4, and G6, Pontiac's performance image had long faded from it's earlier glory days. My idea for Pontiac's revival would be to bring it back as a dedicated performance marque similar to Chevy's Super Sport (SS) line up of years past. First, and most obvious would be to bring back the Pontiac Firebird. Offering the entry-level model with the Camaro's 275HP turbo 4 cylinder engine, then having the Camaro SS's 455HP V8, but also offering a halo model Trans Am that is a revamped Camaro ZL-1 along with it's tire-shredding 650HP, supercharged V8 and race tuned suspension. Secondly, I would bring back the GTO. Which I would base on the current Chevy SS, but I would use the full 455-horsepower LS4 V8 (rather than the 415-hp setup that it has now). Furthermore, I would add the impressive 650-hp supercharged V8 to provide real competition to the Charger Hellcat. Importantly, I would make sure that the new GTO had bold, distinctive styling that really set it apart. I understand that purists would want any Pontiac GTO to be a two-door coupe, but I think that they could forgive that if the new GTO was an outstanding American performance car. Next, I would take the Buick Cascada convertible, add much bolder styling, swap in the Camaro's 275-hp turbo engine, and tune up the suspension to provide more performance than luxury (without being harsh). And finally I would round out the line up by using the new 2018 Traverse , but use the new, bold Pontiac design language to spice up the model's looks, tweak the engines for more power, and again provide a performance suspension that matches the model's new sporty looks. Obviously, having a high performance Pontiac model line up would steal away some sales from Chevy, Buick, and Cadillac models. But I think that it would more than make up for this by also stealing away sales from competing brands.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
