Selling as is, where is, parts car or very ambitious restoration project: 1963 Bonneville Conv. factory equipped, I believe, with its original 389 2 barrel Carb. engine and 4 speed Hydramatic transmission, PS, PB, and black leather interior. I bought this car 19 years ago running and driving but with lots of frame and body rust showing  I already had a '63 Grand Prix and a '63 Catalina convertible, and I didn't want this once great car to be scrapped. I stored car in reasonably dry storage and just got it out of storage a month ago. I have subsequently taken a very careful look at its condition. I removed the remaining top material to look at top bows and other parts - these all look OK. I have oiled all the top joints and believe the top assembly is serviceable. I took out the seats (the OEM bolts unfastened on the front seat) and removed all the old carpeting and factory insulation. The drive-shaft tunnel looks OK. There are small holes in front floor pans; the rear floor pans have holes in them and the area under the rear seat is quite rusty, These convertibles had reinforced rocker areas. There is substantial rust in these areas. The rear frame behind axle is completely rusted away as is the entire trunk floor. The only thing holding the rear of the car together are the rear quarter panels and the trunk lid and its connections. The front of portion of the car is good condition: core support, inner panels, grilles, front suspension - seems to have the 4 original wheels. The engine is complete but I have not tried to turn it over. Almost nothing is missing from this car - it is very complete as built. If you want additional additional information, I will be happy to provide it. Interested parties are welcome to inspect the car first hand. It is located near Middletown, Md., about 5 miles off I -70, near Frederick..

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns

Sun, 05 Oct 2014

Following a stop-delivery order for its new midsize trucks and a rash of recent recalls, General Motors is issuing three more campaigns covering 60,575 vehicles in North America with 57,182 of them in the US. As of October 1, the automaker has issued a total of 74 recalls (see the ridiculously long chart to the right) this year covering 26,495,070 units in the US.
The largest campaign covers 46,873 examples in the US of the 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 and 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle imported from Australia. It's possible for the driver's knee to hit the key and make it move from the "Run" to "ACC" position while driving. GM says its Holden division is developing a fixed-blade key that's supposed to fix the problem by only allowing it to rotate toward the "On" position. There has been one crash caused by this fault but no injuries or fatalities.
The second recall is for 10,005 units of the 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V and 2006-2007 Cadillac STS-V because "the fuel pump module electrical terminal may overheat." This can cause a flange to melt and allow the pump to leak fuel. GM specifies that the remedy for the CTS-V is replacing the fuel module and fuel tank jumper harness, but it doesn't specify how the STS-V is being repaired.

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am

Wed, 15 May 2013

When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
