This is what I can tell you about it:
Has ~250,000 miles. Pulled the engine because it knocked. Bearing (piston and crank) are fine in the front half of the engine (where it was knocking) so I believe it is a wrist pin, and I just don't have the time to fix it up. Opened the Super Charger to check the coupling, it was not rounded, and was still supplying boost just fine. Oil was clean as well. As a matter of fact engine was still performing with full power with the knock. There were no shavings in the pan either. As you can see in the pictures, the clear is peeling. Other then that there is no damage to the body beyond dings from stones. I have been running Royal Purple w/Royal Purple Filter since I bought the engine at 120,000 miles with a regular oil change cycle. with very little oil loss (looks like it was seeping out of the valve covers). Parts recently replaced: New Plug and Wires New EGR Valve New Mass Air Flow Sensor Altenator (10,000 miles ago) Radiator (~40,000 miles ago) Front Wheel Bearings( ~40,000) with Moog Both Tensioner Pullies and belts Had Transmission rebuilt about 40,000 miles ago A/C Pump Tires have excellent tread and were recently (well within 20,000 miles) put on Custom exhaust from engine to tail which are either 4 1/4 or 4 1/2 inch pipes with high flow cat and 2 high flow mufflers.Still looks like new. This is the last time listing. After this car will be scrapped and the valuable parts sold off. I do know the value of the super charger alone is well over $400 which I am listing the car for. |

Lutz says Washington killed Pontiac, next G6 was to be ATS derivative
Tue, 29 Oct 2013How many people think Buick or GMC should have gotten the axe instead of Pontiac? You can't see it, but I'm raising my hand. Autoweek reports that former Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz, has indicated that things didn't have to end up the way they did.
"The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.'"
In a talk given at the Petersen Automotive Museum for the Inside the MotoMan Studio series, Lutz says "The Feds said, 'Yeah, how much money have you made on Pontiac in the last 10 years?' and the answer was, 'Nothing.' So, it goes. And when the guy who is handing you the check for $53 billion says, 'I don't want Pontiac, drop Pontiac or you don't get the money,' it doesn't take you very long to make up your mind." Lutz even added that the next-generation Pontiac G6 would have benefitted from the rear-wheel-drive platform of the Cadillac ATS. How awesome would that have been?
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am
Mon, 13 May 2013No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
