Please read entire description before bidding. Vehicle needs engine work.

What you are looking at here is a 2003 Bonneville SSEi that my mother purchased new from Superior Pontiac in 2003. Since that time it has always been garaged, oil changed every 3k miles, has always had premium fuel, and has been detailed every year. This vehicle has always been extremely well maintained. The paint is original and looks near perfect. The car has never seen the inside of a body shop. Has never been in any type of collision.

The vehicle had an intake leak, and ran low on coolant, and overheated. After this happened, my mother decided to purchase a new vehicle, and I jumped on the chance to buy this one. I had the intake manifold re-sealed and the thermostat replaced. Unfortunately, after this work was performed, the vehicle developed an engine knock on acceleration. I took it in and had the oil pan removed for inspection. Sure enough one of the bearings had been damaged (I assume by the excessive heat.) At minimum, the vehicle will need a new or re-ground crankshaft and one connecting rod, possibly more. There is currently no engine oil in the engine, and one of the rod baring caps was left off, so it does not run at this time.

I really hate to sell this car, but I don't have the funds to fix it at this time and don't want to let this beautiful car sit in the sun all summer. I don't have room in the garage anymore so she has to go. The front breaks were done just before the car was put out of commission. The factory replacement battery is about one year old. The tires are near new michelins with a ton of tread left. The ABS light was on the last time I drove the car. I did not have it diagnosed.

As you can see in the pictures, the car is in spectacular condition in and out. There is a small wear mark on the edge of the driver's seat. It is not worn through the leather, just the color. There are a few small marks around the cup holders from use. There is no noticeable wear to the steering wheel or radio/hvac buttons. There are some chips on the front bumper from road debris. There is a light scuff mark on the rear bumper, and a few little scratches in front of one of the passenger side door handles. All damage is pictured. There is no visible wear to any of the carpets or SSEi factory mats.

The registration has been out since September so there will be a small fee attached. Likely around $200 but Ill check and add it later. The title is a clean ca title, in my name, in hand.

There is no damage to any glass whatsoever. All of the power options (windows, seats, sunroof, locks,) work as they should. The a/c and heat functions are auto and work great.

I have tried to describe this vehicle to the best of my ability. Please ask any and all questions before bidding. Contact me through here or email me at caseyamack1@gmail.com. If you email me your phone number I will call you to discuss the vehicle. I would love to show the vehicle before the auction is over if you are local. I honestly believe that if you see it first, your max bid will go up. The car books for about $9K (fixed, obviously.) Check it at kbb.com.

I have never shipped a vehicle before but if you would like to arrange it I will help out in any way I can. If I think of any more information that may be helpful I will add it. If you have questions please ask.

It should go without saying, but please don't bid unless you have the money and are absolutely sure you will purchase the vehicle. I would like to receive payment within 48 hours of auction close. I have a paypal account if you would like to use it. Otherwise, cash is great. I will accept a check but the vehicle will not be released until the funds clear.

Thanks for looking. Happy bidding.

Pontiac Firebird in latest Generation Gap scrap

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

Generation Gap is mining the Lingenfelter collection again this week to compare two very different interpretations of the Pontiac Firebird. An original 1968 example goes toe-to-toe with a 2010 Lingenfelter Trans Am to see whether the old man or the modern re-imagining takes the crown.
Being from the Lingenfelter collection, both cars are absolutely immaculate. The '68 packs a Pontiac 350-cubic-inch (5.7-liter) V8 with a claimed 320 horsepower and some classic, muscular style with a hood-mounted tach. Plus, it's painted in an understated shade of green that you don't usually see.
In the other corner is Lingenfelter's pumped-up take on the classic shape based on the modern Camaro, and this is just one of six concept versions ever made. It wears an eye-catching, vintage-inspired livery of blue with a white stripe package. Under its shaker hood is a 455-cubic-inch (7.5-liter) V8 with a reported 655 hp and 610 pound-feet of torque.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
