Paint – The paint is very nice, shiny, and smooth. Believed to be mostly original with the exception of the front end. The original paint does match all the way around. Under just the right circumstances with the right light and angle you will see that the front nose & bumper assembly and the light covers are just a shade off from the rest of the car.(see pictures) Upon inspecting the passenger door (just above the molding with looking up close with a flash light) you will notice a few pin head size bubbles in the paint. The car has picked up a few nicks from normal usage on the passenger head light cover and nose of the car(above license plate). Misc chips include, the passenger door (front and back edge), lower part of right fender, two small nicks behind right rear tire and a light scratch about eight to ten inches long near the right rear exhaust outlet. Over all the paint has held up extremely well with little exposure.


BODY- The body looks very nice and straight but being extremely critical, there are two minor dimples (right and left rear corners. ) Doors and body panels appear to be fitting correctly. According to a magnetic gauge, rear quarters and the hood are the only major steel portions of the car (on the outside skin.) The doors and front fenders are all composite materials or non magnetic. Trunk could have been adjusted to the left slightly and the front has a gap between the right head lamp cover and the fender that appears tighter than it should be.

BRIGHT WORK- Described in tire and wheel section.

GLASS- Both side windows, windshield, and rear window are all the same make (EZ, Kool by LOF) All glass is very clear with no discoloring, delamination, bulls-eyes, cracks, or wiper marks. Only possible place for wear would be few pin head size nicks on the windshield that are from normal driving. There is no damage or cracking on the T-tops.

INTERIOR- No obvious changes or replacements have been made with the interior. The dash and controls show very little wear at all and the rest of the interior all seems to be intact. Console and glass holder appears to be a shade lighter in coloring. The sun visor material is fastened well and the backing is not deteriorated. The headliner has no loose spots or damage and still retains good color. Seats show slight wear (which is normal) and could use a leather softener. You will notice a little wear on driver side upholstery and some light scuffing the on bottom of the door trim. Over all the interior has held up very well!

TRUNK- Shows very little wear, just a little dust and animal hair. With a vacuum it would clean up very nice. Mini spare and the jack mechanism is in place where it is stored under the right rear speaker. Trunk has holder for both T- tops and shades.

TIRES AND WHEELS- All four tires are Cooper Cobra radial tires. Fronts and rears are P 245-50-16, and tread depth on all tires are 6 /32. There is no cracking or curb damage to the tire and wheels. 

Left front- P245/50/16 6/32 Right front- P245/50/16 6/32

Left rear-P245/50/16 6/32 Right rear- P245/50/16 6/32




ENGINE/ TRANSMISSION- Engine compartment has some dust but no obvious changes from factory except a new battery. Nothing appears to be modified except the installation of the Corsa Exhaust system.

TEST DRIVE- Windshield wipers work on both speeds and washers do function. The air conditioner does cool thought it may be a little low on refrigerant. A/C is not as cold as I believe it could be. The rear defroster light does operate, and the selector for heat and ventilation appears to work in all modes. Radio works on both AM and FM and disc player operates correctly. All other radio buttons seem to be working correctly. The power door looks, steering wheels controls, horn, trunk and hood release work. Power windows on left and right both work and both of the power mirrors operate. The locking mechanism on the T- tops work correctly. Antenna does work, head lights all work on high and low beam, and fog lights operate. Front and rear(left and right side) blinkers work. 

CHASSIS- It is very evident (looking at the bottom side of the car) it has not been exposed to much weathering. Only slight surface rust on the front suspension component. The rest of the bottom side shows hardly any surface rust at all. (see pictures) There is a little bit of seeping from the A/C compressor. You will notice only a slight dampness around the rear end. It is apparent this car has had little exposure to the elements. There is no rust proofing or undercoating hiding the underside. This is a great way to verify how little the vehicle has been out in the weather.

This vehicle is being sold AS IS and without a warranty, unless otherwise stated.


Information about serial numbers, engine numbers, and any other codes does not guarantee a vehicle’s authenticity. These codes and numbers are not guaranteed to be the same as the information on the vehicle ID or vin, trim tag, engine block, cylinder heads, transmission, differential, or other components within this vehicle. Auto Connection does not guarantee documentation, authenticity, repairs, mechanical work, titles, odometer discrepancies, matching numbers, stamped engines, casting numbers, or any other codes, tags, or numbers. The potential for reproduction paper documentation exists, as well as restamped engines and reproduced trim/data tags.


Auto Connection has described this vehicle to the best of their knowledge, but does not guarantee the accuracy of the description. Prospective buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence, including a physical inspection of the vehicle in person, or through a qualified third party inspector/appraiser. We welcome inspections and even have an 8 page professional vehicle inspection form you or your appraiser can use.


The vehicle will remain for sale until a buyer has placed a deposit on it. This deposit is nonrefundable with the exception of the vehicle being severely misrepresented by Auto Connection or the seller, or stipulated in the Bill of Sale.

NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

According to two separate reports in The Detroit News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is launching investigations into 550,000 Pontiac G6 (pictured above) and 320,000 Honda Odyssey (pictured right) models. The G6 models are all from the 2005 to 2007 model years, while the Odyssey minivans are from the 2003 and 2004 model years. The two NHTSA probes are not related.
In the case of the G6, this is an upgrade to an original investigation that started in February after NHTSA received "hundreds of reports" that the brake lights on these cars may malfunction. According to The Detroit News, the lights may come on when the brake pedal is not depressed, and likewise, the brake lights may not illuminate when the pedal has been pushed. General Motors was able to provide NHTSA with a significant number of warranty claims, including 1,100 reports that could potentially relate to this problem, one of which indicates a vehicle crash.
For Honda, the NHTSA probe concerns airbags that may deploy unexpectedly. The government agency received six complaints from 2003-04 Odyssey owners saying that the front airbags suddenly went off without a crash. The Detroit News reports that three of the six owners sustained injuries from these incidents. Additionally, NHTSA has received 41 complaints from owners saying the vehicle's airbag warning light had illuminated.

1939 Pontiac Ghost Car commands $308,000 at auction

Mon, 01 Aug 2011

For the 1939 World's Fair, Pontiac built a Deluxe Six bodied in Plexiglass. Part of the Previews of Progress pavilion in which General Motors' Futurama showed off what was to come in the world of autos, the 'invisible' Pontiac is credited as the first transparent car in America. And there were no shortcuts taken with its body: the Plexiglass form was fabricated by the company that brought the material to market in 1933, Rohm & Haas.
The see-through sedan was sold at RM Auctions' St. John's auction in Michigan on July 30, fetching $308,000. Not bad appreciation for a domestic oddity that cost $25,000 to build when new. You can check out the high-res gallery of its innards, including copper and chrome metalwork and white moldings and wheels, and get the exhaustive details on it after the jump.

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.
