1959 Pontiac Bonneville Sports Coupe, 2-Door Hardtop, 389 V-8 with 4-Speed hydra-matic transmission, 4-BBlL carb and dual exhaust. This Sillicon Valley CA car has 131k original miles on it, it had 124k miles on it when I purchased it in 1994. The Bonnie is very straight and the trim and body line are very good. The car has Power Brakes and Power Steering and lots of power which makes it a pleasure to drive. Frame on reastoration work started shortly after I purchased the car. The engine was completely rebuilt and it now has less than 7k miles on it, it runs great and has plenty of power. The transmission was rebuilt in 2007 to fix excessive leaks and thus has only about 1k miles on it. The seats were reparied/replaced using original Green 3-Tone very rare woven materials. Side panels, padded dash and rear shelf were redone using original Green vinyl materials. The headsliner and the carpet were replaced with materials not original for that car because I was not able to locate the correct ones at that time. However, this does not seem to matter because the interior is stunning and received "Best Interior" award at the Redwood Indian Pontiac show in 1996 (see picture of the award). The trunk floor had some rust and was replaced. Lower quarter panel rust repair was also done prior to car repaint in the white Acrylic Lacquer paint, paint code is GM "CC" (Cameo Ivory). Door and trunk seals were replaced, all glass and seals are the original that came with the car. The car came equiped with a number of options as shown in the attache picture showing the lower portion of the original window sticker. I recently added a trunk light. To my knowlege all options and equipment on the car works well, recently I had to replace the Power Antenna which was broken with another "Casco" unit which appears to have come from an older car. The radio and both front and rear speakers work well. I have noticed that the dash clock does not work. The Bonneville introduced the Pontiac's lasting design language like a split grille, it also gave birth to the Wide Track design, the brand's engineers logically concluded that the wide wheel base provided better stability and in particular better race track performance. This proved to be the case and I am told that this feature contributed much to the Pontiac brand's success in subsequent years. This first Wide Track model was named Car of the Year by the Motor Trend magazine in 1959. The car has remained in the Silicon Valley area since I purchased the car. While in my posesion, it has been garaged and I do not believe that it has ever been in a rain shower. This is a great car that can be driven by anybody because of the power options, it is a pleasure to drive the car. The reason I am selling the car is because I am running out of space on my property. I have purchased several 1960 Chevrolets that I restoring as a hobby. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this auction, I will be happy to provide more information, I do have several digital files of supporting original documents I have that I can forward if desired.

GM expands ignition switch recall to over 1.3 million cars amid climbing death toll
Tue, 25 Feb 2014
588,000 Saturn Sky, Saturn Ion, Pontiac Solstice and Chevy HHR models join the 778,000 cars already being recalled.
General Motors has announced a massive expansion of a 778,000-unit recall we told you about two weeks ago, doubling not only the total number of cars affected but expanding the recall beyond Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 models previously mentioned. The recall originally centered around ignition switches that could slip out of the "run" position if jostled or if any weight was applied to the key in the cylinder.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
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.
