Not a Utah original car and never driven in snow and there's no rust hiding under the paint! Less than 15k miles since complete rebuild. Ready for summer car shows or drag strip! Factory a/c, Dual exhaust with flowmaster mufflers, sounds awesome (not ghetto awesome, legit awesome!). Just replaced battery, starter, and fuel pump. Has always been garage kept and well maintained. Car was stored for the last 6 years, that's why the items listed as new were replaced. Car is in good working condition and is fun to drive. Also have a ram-air GTO hood that is not painted that can be included with purchase if buyer wants to upgrade the car further Disclosure on known items: - has minor oil leak from engine (few drops after driving then stops dripping) - factory a/c is not hooked up to engine belt (never hooked up since I've owned it) - dual exhaust terminates immediately after mufflers (makes for great sound but may not be legal in all states) - aftermarket tachometer not working (worked before it was stored, not sure why it isn't working now) - car does not have a horn - paint job is 8/10. One small bubble on hood about 3/4" hard to see unless the light hits it right. 3 small chips in paint around car under 1/8" each. - grill inserts were removed during painting, auto body guy broke clips so they were not re-installed but are included with purchase. - tires have about 40% life remaining |

Watch this garbage truck consume a Pontiac Grand Am
Wed, 15 May 2013When an old car or truck offers its dying breath in your driveway and you just don't have the financial or mechanical wherewithal to resuscitate it yet again, you traditionally have to go to the trouble of calling a flatbed or a tow truck to come haul it away. That usually helps to put a few bucks in your wallet and helps recycle some of the vehicle's parts, but the transaction doesn't seem as final or perversely satisfying as the dispatch service that this New Way Cobra Magnum garbage truck offers.
Okay, okay, so this refuse hauler isn't actually designed for this sort of thing, but it's oddly comforting to know that a sanitation truck can compact a hapless Pontiac Grand Am into oblivion. Next time, we won't feel so guilty about slipping that rusty charcoal grille onto the curb next to the cans on garbage day. Watch the carnage by scrolling below.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
General Lee takes on Bandit T/A in classic Hollywood car showdown [w/poll]
Fri, 26 Aug 2011You don't have to be born in the 1960s or 1970s to be able to recognize the General Lee from The Dukes of Hazzard and the Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandit. These old school four-wheeled stars seem to transcend demographics thanks to the miles of film that show the orange 1969 Dodge Charger and the jet-black 1977 Pontiac Trans Am performing seemingly impossible stunts.
The folks at Hot Rod magazine are obviously hip to this fact, and they put together a fun video in tribute of the instantly recognizable duo. Hit the jump to watch on as Sam Young and James Smith replace Bo Duke and The Bandit for a bit of dirt-road shenanigans in a pair of otherwise well cared for classics. We're not so sure we'd call it the best chase scene ever, but it sure looks like a lot of fun.
More importantly, which of these two cars would you rather own? Have your say in our poll below.
