History

  • First introduced to the car in the early 1980s as it was my grandfathers' Ray Wolfe, Leonidas Michigan. Since then to date the car has been stored in doors.
  • 1986ish the car was sold to a high school classmate, Tim Slater, Sturgis Michigan. Tim and my cousin were the same age and they spent many hours maintaining their cars for shows and the weekends.
  • In 1991 my grandfather purchased the car back and I purchased it from him.  It has been in my care since.
  • In early 2003 a knock began in the lower end of the motor.  The car was sentenced to the garage. I pulled the motor and found via rotation and removal of the oil pan that main bearings 6-8 were scoring. Pulling the heads identified that cylinders 1-4 where running rich, with 5-6 less rich, and 7-8 were showing a lean run.
  • St Clair Engine rebuilders was a known friend of a friend that builds circle track race motors.  Larry was hired to rebuild the motor.
  • The motor was placed back in with a new starter, fuel pump, and clutch.  The Tri-Power leaked in the mechanisms; therefore, a call and purchase from Edelbrock of the specific intake and dual 350 carburetors to match the rebuild.
  • The car has been taken out for Sunday drives and the occasional local car show but has not seen 1000miles in the 9 years since the rebuild.  Run time is more than miles as it has been started 4-5 times a month to run or move in and out of the garage.
  • Winters, the battery is removed and the car remains covered in the garage.
  • This car needs no work to drive as is today and even stand up in car shows; pump 3x and fire up.  Additional time and money would be required to improve to car show award level but there is a very solid foundation to work from.
  • Parting ways for the car to be in the hands of the next enthusiast.

The car will be at the Woodward Dream Cruise Birmingham Michigan August 17th.

GM recalling 778,000 Cobalts and G5s, six deaths reported

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

General Motors has announced that it will be recalling 778,562 compact cars after six people were killed in accidents, partially due to the airbags' failure to deploy. An issue with the ignition switch is causing the airbag issues, as well as causing the engine and other components to shut off without warning. The recall covers the 2005 to 2007 model year Chevrolet Cobalt and 2007 Pontiac G5. (Note that the Cobalt pictured above is a 2009 model.)
According to a report from Automotive News, a number of factors can cause the ignition to switch out of the run position, including weights on the key ring, rough or bumpy roads or other "jarring" events. Any of these situations could lead to some vehicle components not functioning properly.
There have been five fatal front-impact crashes that took the lives of six people, although as a GM spokesman noted, all five of the crashes happened off road and at high speed. In each of these cases, though, the lack of airbags wasn't the only lethal factor - alcohol and failure to wear a seat belt also played a role. Outside of the fatal accidents, there have been 17 other crashes where airbags didn't deploy. It's unclear if any of these crashes were caused by the engine shutting off.

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."

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
