The Bonneville was the top-of-the line Pontiac "Wide-Track" convertible for 1962, powered by the renowned 389 CID V-8 coupled with Hydramatic. Distinctive and impressive, it was ahead of its time and made many other brands in '62 look obsolete.

I am selling my Bonneville that is finished in wonderful period Aquamarine metallic complemented by a white convertible top. The interior features tri-tone winged bucket seats, upholstered in the correct combination of Morrokide with leather inserts. The dashboard features genuine wood trim that was a striking feature of the Bonneville interior at the time.

This heavily optioned cruiser is equipped with power steering, power brakes, rare factory AM/FM radio with power antenna, full interior lights, movable trunk light, power side view mirror, and the desirable 8-lug aluminum wheels. It is also equipped with rare factory air conditioning. It has a working compressor and blower, but is not blowing cold at present. Other options include backup lights and a tinted windshield. The Pontiac Historic Services window sticker (shown below) documents these options.

The power convertible top works flawlessly, and when lowered turns this Bonneville into an awesome '60's cruiser. The engine is smooth and powerful, with excellent response and a classic note from the dual exhaust pipes. The Hydramatic transmission shifts smoothly and the Bonneville is fully capable of keeping up with highway traffic, easily passing some surprised new car drivers when the four-barrel carb kicks in.

Showing 93,400 miles on the odometer, this Bonneville received an older full mechanical and cosmetic restoration. The Aquamarine paint is in fine condition, showing a bright luster with no cracking or bubbling. The interior is beautiful and needs only some attention to the door panels and minor details if the new owner wishes to freshen up the restoration. This is an excellent and dependable driver quality car that can be used without worry and enjoyed on the road. I can say from experience that it turns heads wherever it goes.

Optional rear fender skirts are included. I prefer the sportier look of seeing the 8-lug wheels in full view, but the skirts can be easily fitted or removed depending on the owner's preference. Photos on and off are shown below. The trunk is nicely finished with a mat, spare tire cover and tire tools in a pouch. Included are original owner's manual, shop manual, and sales brochure. Full documentation from Pontiac Historic Services is also included. Just installed is a new battery and air filter. Drive it home, no work needed!

This Bonneville is located in the Charlotte, N.C. area. Bidders are invited to test drive and inspect. For more information interested bidders may call (704)519-9406 or (917)301-4799. Auction may be ended at any time from prior sale. Private owner, not a dealer.

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
