1969 Pontiac Grand Prix Model J Barn Find

The Grand Prix was introduced by Pontiac in 1962 replacing the Ventura. It was essentially a standard Catalina with minimal outside chrome trim and a sportier interior with bucket seats as well as a center console. In 1969 DeLorean ordered the development of an all new Grand Prix which was smaller, lighter, had its own body and brought a new level of style and luxury to the intermediate class. The new body had a Coke bottle shape as well as other styling cues from the Duesenberg as well as the longest hood Pontiac ever produced which gave the Grand Prix a feel of high luxury without the high cost. This particular car has been sitting on blocks for over 15 years and is a true barn find. It is equipped with a 350hp 400ci V8, a Turbo 400 tranny and a 10 bolt posi rear end with 3:23 gears. Other options on this car include A/C, 15” rally rims, power windows, power locks, tilt, power steering, power brakes and front disc brakes. The A/C compressor has been removed and is in the trunk. The stereo is an aftermarket shaft stereo so the dash was not cut to install it. It was just completely serviced which included fresh oil, a new oil filter, spark plugs, cap, rotor, plug wires and a new air filter. The tranny was also serviced which included a new filter, gasket and fluids. The brakes were just gone through as well. It also has a new fuel pump, new fuel lines, a new alternator and a new battery. It currently has a small exhaust leak which is really the only thing in need of immediate attention should you want to drive this car as is. The only other concerns are that the center cap for the steering wheel is missing and the blinkers are not working. This would make a great driver or a great restoration project. We have priced this car below the low N.A.D.A. value for a quick sale so don’t wait to call us if you like what you see!

Wanted: 1967 Pontiac GTO for a special Father's Day

Thu, 07 Jun 2012

Jim Sharp of Elkhorn, Wisconsin needs a red 1967 Pontiac GTO to make his dad's Father's Day, possibly his last one, something extra special.
Back in the '60s, Jim's dad, Ken, drove a cherry red 1967 GTO to California for a job. He met a girl, got married and decided his wife's 1965 Ford Mustang was more fuel efficient than the Goat and the GTO was sold. As the story almost always goes, Ken has had seller's regret ever since.
Jim always meant to find a 1967 GTO and, with his dad's help, restore it. But life got in the way, time slipped by and Ken was recently diagnosed with esophageal cancer and given about three months to live.

CNN chronicles young girl building Pontiac Fiero

Fri, 26 Oct 2012

At fourteen years of age, Kathryn DiMaria has already done what many self-proclaimed gearheads won't even attempt in their lifetimes. The Dearborn, Michigan teen is rebuilding a car from the ground up.
The intrepid youngster asked her parents when she was just twelve to start a Pontiac Fiero project, even offering to pony up all the funds herself. Father, Jerry DiMaria only expected the project to last a few months, but two years later, Kathryn is still at it. In this CNN video, the two are at Maker Faire (a DIY festival) rebuilding a 3.4-liter V6 engine out of a Chevrolet Camaro to replace the 2.8-liter mill found in the Fiero.
The whole family hast pitched in, with Kathryn's mother teaching her how to sew in order to complete the interior, father Jerry providing much of the technical know-how, and even her sister is chronicling Kathryn's progress through photos. Jerry even started a thread in a Fiero forum which has been live for two years and is now 22 pages long. Of the project, one forum member wrote, "welcome to the madness."

2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern

Mon, 07 Nov 2011

General Motors is recalling around 38,000 Pontiac G8 sedans from its 2008 and 2009 model years. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the cars may have a passenger-side airbag flaw that might prevent proper deployment in certain scenarios.
According to NHTSA, the airbag might not adequately protect a fifth percentile woman - that is, a woman around four-foot, 11-inches weighing 108 pounds. The New York Times indicates that the anomaly was found during a crash test conducted by GM's Australian branch, Holden, which was testing the G8's twin (read: Commodore) for head injuries. According to that report, the test in question is specifically tailored to simulate injuries to females, so the results do not apply to men or children.
The issue has been blamed on a seat position sensor that governs airbag deployment rates. NHTSA indicates that when the front passenger seat is moved all the way forward, the faulty sensor may inappropriately trigger a 30-millisecond delay between airbag stages, potentially leading to greater injuries.
