I am selling my Beautiful 1969 Pontiac Bonneville. I truly hate to see this go, but my daughter is getting married so this Baby and our Boat have to go. I have never driven a vehicle that has gotten more attention than this car. From Corvettes to Camaros, Cadillacs to Chargers, NOTHING has gotten the attention this vehicle demands. Young and Old. Everybody loves this car since it is so unique. I purchased this vehicle in Kentucky a little over a year ago from a gentleman who had it in his family since new. He gave me receipts that total $25k for all of the upgrades. I will try to include the highlights. It has a 400 GTO motor with a Turbo 400 Transmission. This engine is very strong and runs down the road like a champ. Dual Exhaust that sounds great. Not too loud, but just perfect. I recently had my mechanic of 20 years install a new Holley Carburetor. I can get details from him if anyone wants because I am not a mechanic. I also put 2 new tires on the front and had the front end aligned. The rear tires are in great shape. The Foose Wheels are in Excellent Condition. Wheels and Tires were about $2800. It has a custom box with Two 12 Inch Subs with Two Amps in the Trunk. It has a detachable face Stereo/CD Player. The system sounds great. I think the gentleman I bought the car from said he paid $3k for the sound system. All is included with the car. I am not one of those guys that says, "Here's the Car, if you want everything, it will cost you more". The AC works. The top was recently installed before I bought it. It is in great shape. The plastic on the cover for the top that "tucks" into the trim is off on the corners as you can see if the two pics. I have not taken it in to see what that will cost to fix as it did not bother me. I will try to get some pics with the top up. It started raining on me so I couldn't keep taking pics tonight. There is some discoloration in the paint on the driver's side rear quarter panel. The paint overall is in good shape. I would say 8.5/10. Maybe 9. If you are a serious buyer and have questions, please call at 501-681-4857. I have it at no reserve so the highest bidder wins.

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.
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.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
