- Outstanding '59 Bonneville 2 Door Hardtop - Show Quality - Bone Stock Original on 2040-cars
Portland, Oregon, United States
  Show Quality example Classic Wide Track styling Excellent on the road  Up for bids here on eBay is this this show-stopping '59 Pontiac Bonneville. 1959 was the first year for Pontiac's signature split grill and wide track chassis. This 2 door hardtop was lightly restored from a very original example, it features an incredibly well preserved interior and perfect trim and chrome. Showing 24,762 miles, the car has many indicators of a low mile car but due to its age is sold mileage exempt. A DMV registration slip from 1991 shows an odometer statement of 017,190. My gut instinct said it's doubtful a car from 1959 could have this mileage, but the more I looked the more convinced I became. The interior is almost all original and shows hardly any wear. All of the trimwork on the dash is original and perfect. The exterior trim is all perfect. The window felts are original and look like new. The undercarriage is untouched and still has its original spiral shocks in the rear. In the end it doesn't matter much, mileage aside this '59 presents as new, probably one of the best Bonneville bubbletops on the market.
The car has had one repaint in its original combination of Sunset Glow with a Cameo Ivory roof. The paint is show quality throughout, I'm picky about paint and can say that there are no dissapointments with this finish. Perfect prep and perfect application, a very impressive final product. Excellent panel fit and of course no rust issues anywhere. Tires are Coker Classic radials with low miles. All 4 wheelcovers are in terrific shape. Trim, chrome and emblems are all outstanding. Excellent lights and lenses. Body line trim shows absolutely zero dings or damage. Bumpers front and rear are flawless and that's a word I don't use freely. The original license plate bracket for the front bumper is included. Grill is unmarked and like new. Original T3 headlights. The massive quarter panels are straight as an arrow, rear bumper fit is perfect. All of the minor details on this car can hold up to close scrutiny. Windshield is a high quality replacement and is crystal clear with no wear. With the exception of the windshield all of the glass are the factory tinted E-Z-Eye originals. They show some yellowing on the edges and the passenger side front window frame has some light pitting. This is the only area of pitting on the car, the remainder of the chrome is like new. The trunk has a replacement mat, the side panels and spare cover are original. The spare tire is original and all factory jacking equipment is present. Power antenna works correctly. Trunk lid shows the optional reel-out lamp. The carpet and mats have been replaced, otherwise this interior is all original, it's in terrific condition. All of the switchgear and trim on the dash looks like new. Dash pad is in great shape. Working radio with good sound. Clean glovebox and underdash area. Steering wheel has no cracks or splits, horn ring and center insert are in great shape. Pedals show no wear. All gauges work correctly except for the clock. Dash illumination and interior lighting all work. Garnish moldings are all excellent, door panels and weatherstripping as well. Doors close with one finger. Untouched rear seat area and speaker grill. Windows all wind smoothly. Ashtrays are unused. Headliner is original with the correct star pattern. The 389 runs excellent with no smoke, it provides plenty of power to move this large car down the road. The Hydramatic transmission shifts perfectly. Power steering and power brakes make around town driving easy. This is just a killer cruising car, it glides down the road beautifully. Steering is tight, suspension is great and the radial tires make freeway travel a pleasure. The car comes with a full binder of receipts and a photo documented record of the repaint. Included are the original owners manual and factory keys with their knockout plates intact. Also included is a high quality fitted car cover. The undercarriage is solid and original with no rust and no signs of damage. It does leak some oil when sitting. New exhaust from the manifolds back, the Blue Streak mufflers and resonators provide a really nice understated rumble, it completes the package of this iconic 50's cruiser.

GM recalls 61k more vehicles in three campaigns
Sun, 05 Oct 2014Following 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.
GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes
Mon, 01 Oct 2012The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.
Tony Stewart to star in Smoke Is The Bandit web series
Mon, 10 Mar 2014NASCAR driver Tony Stewart is making good use of his nickname Smoke in new videos inspired by the 1970s classic Smokey and the Bandit. The original is one of the quintessential automotive movies of its era with a fantastic combination of slapstick comedy and great car stunts in a Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. If you've never seen it, check it out immediately.
In the new six-part Smoke IS the Bandit web series, Stewart takes on the role of Burt Reynolds' famous character complete with huge mustache. But instead of trying to smuggle cases of Coors beer it's Mobil 1 oil. The series promises to recreate many of the famous scenes from the movie and includes cameos from other NASCAR drivers.
To complete the look, future videos just need a quality replacement for a young Sally Field to ride shotgun. It would also be really cool if Reynolds could make a brief appearance at some point. Scroll down to check out the trailer and the first episode in the series.
