Relisted because of Wasting Time Non Paying Bidder.   This 1973 Pontiac was last on the road in 2000. It has a 350 engine and automatic transmission but not sure if they are original. But most likely they are.The car starts and runs but will not idle well. It looks as if it has a rebuilt hot rod engine in it and has a lot of power. The engine is not to overly built and has a new eldebrock intake manifold and carburetor on it that cost more than the opening bid on the car.It does not have the gas tank line hooked up to the engine because I was told the gas tank has bad fuel in it and will need to be removed and cleaned out. There is a portable gas tank hooked straight to the fuel pump that is being used to run the car.The car shifts into gear good forward and reverse and the body  is straight with a couple of small rust areas on the right bottom fender and around the trunk lid area and a little bit of small bubbling under the vinyl top. It will need a new battery the one in it has to be jumped to start. The floors and trunk are solid and I feel in great shape. I am selling this car as a project car and it can easly be a running operational car in no time at all. The interior dash is very nice and the seats are in good solid condition. The paint is very nice for the year. No carpet is in the car and missing some trim in the back seat area. The underneath the car is solid and clean with new exhaust from the headers back, and rear shocks. As said the floor pans and trunk are solid with only surface rust. There is a AC compressor and other parts that are in the trunk that comes with the car. I did not want to send this car to the scrap yard. It only has 49507 actual miles showing on a signed Virginia title ready to go. As I said it is a project car and being sold as is but it has a lot of life left in this car. Ask me questions and I will answer as soon as i can. You can pick up the car or have a shipper pick it up. I will work with you on this. Please do not bid if you can not keep your word or need permission from your wife or girlfriend to buy it. Please ask questions if you want to and I will get back to you.

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General 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.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When 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.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.
