I am selling a really nice all original "Survivor" 1984 Pontiac Bonneville Brougham Sedan.  This classy looking car was the top of the line Bonneville in that year!  The Brougham featured upgraded interior with pillowed seats, thick carpeting, and extra styling trim.  In addition, this Bonneville is fully loaded with the following features:

1.  5.0 (305 cubic inch) 4bbl V8

2.  Automatic Transmission

3.  Power Steering and Brakes

4.  Power Windows, Locks, Seat, and Trunk Release

5.  Wire Wheel Covers

6.  Brougham Vinyl Top and Opera Lights

7.  Tilt Steering & Cruise Control

8.  AM/FM Cassette Stereo

9.  COLD Air Conditioning (recently converted to 134-A new style freon)

This is a 1 family owned car that I acquired from an estate settlement (from daughter of original owner), and only has 47,000 ACTUAL MILES!  It was owned by an elderly couple.  This was always a North Carolina car until I acquired it a few months ago.  It is now at my summer home in upstate New York.  Car has never been run in salt or snow.  It is mostly original paint, except for a few minor touch-ups due to minor scratches and door dings over the last 30 years.  Paint holds a very nice shine yet.  As you can expect with any car this age, there are some small scratches and door dings, but still makes a really nice original appearance. Vinyl top and interior are excellent!  Car was garaged.

This car has not been wrecked or rusted.  Just as clean underneath as on top.  Recently driven on an 800 mile trip with no oil consumption or any other issues.  I have been getting 17 to 18 MPG local and 20 to 22 MPG highway on regular unleaded 87 octane gas.  Rides, drives and handles great!  Engine and transmission are nice and strong.  Steering is tight.  Even the clock works!

Car has had the following recent repairs:

1.  Radial tires replaced

2.  New battery

3.  New exhaust

4.  Brakes replaced

5.  Fuel pump

6.  A/C retrofitted to the new R-134A

Only issue I know of is that power seat does not work properly.  Motor runs, but seat does not move.  May be a broken cable or stripped gear.  Where the seat is set, it is fine for me (I am 6ft 1in) and my son (he is 5ft 7in), so I have never bothered messing with it.  Everything else works fine on the car.

These cars were known to be very comfortable, luxurious and reliable!  This is a nice un-molested original.  Don't miss this chance to buy a nice car that can provide reliable transportation as well as being an inexpensive way to get into the antique car hobby and go to shows and cruise ins!

 

 ABOUT ME: I am a long time (35 years) hobbyist and collector of nice original "Survivor" cars. I have been in the same location for over 25 years and collect, trade, and fool with nice original cars from the late 1950s to mid 1980s. I keep a "rotating collection" of 6 to 8 such cars. When new arrivals appear, I will sell some to make room. This is the case here.

Now for the rules:

1. Your bid is a contract! If you are the successful bidder, you are expected to pay! Please have all contingencies handled and your money in place BEFORE you bid! No retractions will be allowed, so be sure BEFORE you bid!  Please read and understand this:  ASK QUESTIONS AND GET ANSWERS BEFORE YOU BID.

2. An $800.00  NON REFUNDABLE partial payment is due within 48 hours of end of auction. This can be by bank wire transfer. Pay Pal is NOT acceptable for this. Balance is due within 7 days of auction's conclusion. This can be by bank wire transfer as well, and is probably the safest method.

3. Please note that car and I am currently at my summer residence.  This is in upstate NY, about 1 hour west of Albany, and 1.5 hours east of Syracuse.  Car has always been a rust free North Carolina car.

4. Vehicle and papers will not leave here until paid in full with cleared funds. If you are paying with ANY kind of check, it must clear MY bank before car or ownership will be released. No exceptions! Please note that with all the fraudulent money orders out there, most banks treat them like personal checks and place a 5 to 7 business day hold on them. Wire transfer is the best method.  If you are paying balance on pickup, it must be cash in person.  No exceptions. 

5. Vehicle is sold strictly as-is at my premisies with no guarantee or warranty of any kind.

6. Transportation is the buyer's responsibility. I will try to reasonably help and accommodate you any way I can, but it still YOUR responsibility.

7. If you cannot pick up immediately, that is fine, it can be left here for a reasonable period. However, it still must be paid for within the 7 days, and you should secure insurance as I cannot be responsible for loss or damage due to circumstances beyond my control or act of God.

8. Please ask and get satisfactory answers to all questions BEFORE YOU BID! Since sold strictly as/is, no warranty or returns, once you bid, you have made a binding contract.

9. Car is advertised locally for sale. If I find a buyer through that venue, I reserve the right to end auction early. Please call me at 704-661-1326 (cell) or 518-835-5058 (landline) with any further questions about this. due to spotty cell service, call both and leave messages at both if no answer.

10. If you have been an Ebay member for less than a year and/or have less than 10 feedbacks, and/or have less than a 95% rating, you MUST contact me BEFORE you bid. Failure to do this may result in my cancelling your bid and blocking you from bidding on my items. I understand that new members can be great customers, but I must talk to you first. Thanks a lot.

11. A $95.00 administrative fee will be added to the bid price. This helps pay for advertisng, paperwork, and sale fees incurred by me. It does not cover all my expenses, but helps defray some of them. Thanks for your understanding.

I am sorry for all the rules, but it seems that 5% of difficult people spoil it for the 95% who are good. Thanks very much for looking! Again, please feel free to call 704-661-1326 cell or 518-835-5058 landline with any questions. Leave message if no answer. Thanks for looking!

General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]

Fri, 26 Aug 2011

You 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.

Sci-fi movie Jinn features car designer, Firebird-bodied Camaro

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

If you're an automotive engineer being tormented by an immortal being made of fire, then wouldn't you think it best to have a custom coupe called the FireBreather for your getaway car? That's the FireBreather in the image above, adorned by the red wings that once fronted the Pontiac Firebird, running away from a black cloud of evil in a trailer for the movie Jinn.
The Jinn is eternal evil, always waiting for the chance to make things float across rooms before going on homicidal urban rampages. The FireBreather is a Gen-V Chevrolet Camaro - from the V6 to the ZL1 - that's been through Classic Design Concepts' extensive list of exterior and interior modifications, including entirely new front and rear fascias and side skirts, sway bars and springs, Pirelli P Zeroes and an available Edelbrock supercharger.
The movie - FireBreathing chase scenes and all - was shot in Monroe, Michigan. You can watch the trailer below, but since the FireBreather only get a couple of seconds on screen, you can find out more about it on Street Legal TV and its official site.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General 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.
