Hi, I am Ralph, a semi-retired dealer-collector of special interest autos. I make every attempt to portray vehicle as accurately as possible, and encourage phone calls about details of vehicle. This vehicle is a matching # Lemans convertible with GTO trim. It is now at best upholstery shop being fitted with new convertible top. Still to install; rear quarter lower trim and new front fender GTO emblems. I will leave room for finished pictures to be inserted prior to completion of auction.(this car looks as good up close as the pictures) I have driven this convertible daily to make sure it is okay to travel. Had new master and brake parts installed as necessary (good brakes now to top of pedal). Engine runs nice with new oil change and fairly recent tune up and dual exhaust. Transmission shifts as it should. All lights work, along with wipers. still need check horn. my mechanic says rt. ball joint needs replacing although I can't feel it driving it.(I will have it replaced) Car runs and drives excellent. plenty of power and handles very well, with no body rattles. Nice tires mounted on excellent rims sandblasted and painted with original PMD centers. I encourage you to come for inspection and test drive prior to bidding. .............I will be including underside photos shortly. It has nice rust free frame and original floor pans and trunk pan. The body panels were all nice, but rather than rust repair in wheel opening area we opted for rear quarters. Super nice Endura bumper and original GTO hood (not repro) installed. My cost on adding GTO items, body and paintwork (urethane) is in neighborhood of starting bid. I have not replaced the original interior. It needs to be done to make car all that it can be. I do not have time to wait for shop to do it, so it is priced accordingly. Trunk rubber seal to be installed. I will leave detailing and finishing car to you. use it as is original, or finish to show car, as body and paint already are there. Please call me to bid on this car if your feedback rating is less than 20. Low feedback bidders are fine if we have talked but usually present a problem if they bid without permission. Please check my feedback. Most recently a bidder with feedback of 3 sniped in and has been a problem. Ebay is currently investigating him. I stand behind my cars as described.

GM knew about fatal Chevy ignition problem decade before recall
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Well, this is not good for General Motors. Following a report last week that GM was recalling 778,000 Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 compacts over concerns that the ignition could switch out of the "run" position without warning, USA Today reports that the Detroit-based behemoth knew about the issue, which affected 2005 to 2007 Cobalts (the Cobalt shown above and in the gallery is from 2010) and 2007 Pontiac G5s, all the way back in 2004.
The information comes from a deposition in a civil lawsuit against GM, obtained by USA Today, which claims that a GM engineer experienced the issue while the then-new model was undergoing testing. The issue was "solved" when a technical service bulletin was issued in 2005, informing dealers to install a snap-on key cover on the cars of customers who complained about the issue. According to the Cobalt's program engineering manager, Gary Altman, the cover was an "improvement, it was not a fix to the issue."
The case where the depositions were made was from 2010, and involved Brooke Melton, a 29-year-old pediatric nurse in Georgia who was killed on her birthday. At the time, police claimed she was going too fast on a wet, rural road, although it later came out through the black box that her car's ignition had come out of the "run" position at least three seconds before the accident (the max amount of time a black box records before a wreck), disabling her airbags, power steering and anti-lock brakes. According to USA Today, police said Melton was "traveling too fast for the roadway conditions," although it's impossible to know if she'd have been in the wreck, which injured the occupants of another vehicle, had her 2005 Chevy not shut off. GM settled the Melton family's case, although the details remain confidential.
NHTSA investigating 550k Pontiac G6 models, 320k Honda Odysseys
Mon, 10 Jun 2013According 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.
This 1927 Oakland is a minimalist hot rod
Fri, 21 Feb 2014There are hundreds of American automakers that sprung up during the dawn of the automotive era, only to fold into obscurity or get gobbled up by what would eventually become the Big Four (yes, we're counting AMC here). Oakland is one such company, which was the forbearer for General Motors' Pontiac division. Sold until 1931, you simply don't see Oakland-badged cars anymore. Unless, that is, you know Brian Bent.
Bent drives a 1927 Oakland that still rides on wooden wheels. Its original wooden wheels, from the sound of it. That makes this anachronist and his Oakland the perfect subject for a Petrolicious video. Like many of the cars highlighted by Petrolicious, this old Oakland has had some work done to it, featuring a Pontiac flathead engine that's been pushed forward and a clutch pack built by Bent.
Take a look below for a closer look at this rare and fascinating Oakland.
