Hi, I am Ralph, a semi-retired dealer-collector of special interest autos. I make every attempt to portray vehicle as accurately as possible, and encourage phone calls about details of vehicle. This vehicle is a matching # Lemans convertible with GTO trim. It is now at best upholstery shop being fitted with new convertible top. Still to install; rear quarter lower trim and new front fender GTO emblems. I will leave room for finished pictures to be inserted prior to completion of auction.(this car looks as good up close as the pictures) I have driven this convertible daily to make sure it is okay to travel. Had new master and brake parts installed as necessary (good brakes now to top of pedal). Engine runs nice with new oil change and fairly recent tune up and dual exhaust. Transmission shifts as it should. All lights work, along with wipers. still need check horn. my mechanic says rt. ball joint needs replacing although I can't feel it driving it.(I will have it replaced) Car runs and drives excellent. plenty of power and handles very well, with no body rattles. Nice tires mounted on excellent rims sandblasted and painted with original PMD centers. I encourage you to come for inspection and test drive prior to bidding. .............I will be including underside photos shortly. It has nice rust free frame and original floor pans and trunk pan. The body panels were all nice, but rather than rust repair in wheel opening area we opted for rear quarters. Super nice Endura bumper and original GTO hood (not repro) installed. My cost on adding GTO items, body and paintwork (urethane) is in neighborhood of starting bid. I have not replaced the original interior. It needs to be done to make car all that it can be. I do not have time to wait for shop to do it, so it is priced accordingly. Trunk rubber seal to be installed. I will leave detailing and finishing car to you. use it as is original, or finish to show car, as body and paint already are there. Please call me to bid on this car if your feedback rating is less than 20. Low feedback bidders are fine if we have talked but usually present a problem if they bid without permission. Please check my feedback. Most recently a bidder with feedback of 3 sniped in and has been a problem. Ebay is currently investigating him. I stand behind my cars as described.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
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.
Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.
