This auction is for a 1959 Pontiac Bonneville Coupe out of Florida. Same owner since 1977. It was his pride and joy. The prior owner has serious health issues now so the family has decided to sell off some of his estate. We were fortunate enough to get this car. The car only has 59,925 actual miles. It has the original 389 V-8 4 BBL, Dual Exhaust, Automatic Transmission, Power Steering, Power Brakes, Padded Dash, Tinted Glass and 2 Tone Paint. The color is called Sunset Mist. It is the original paint with the exception of a few lower areas on both sides of the car that have been touched up with a different shade of paint. Also the roof has been re-painted. I couldnt see that it has any major body work done in those areas so I dont know the reasons for the touch up. This was done many years ago. I did notice the drivers side front floor pan has rust the size of a baseball covered with a piece of tin on the top side. Also both rear body mounts have rust through. A correct patch panel for each area would take care of the problem. The rest of the underside is very nice. Frame is perfect. All inner and outer rockers, braces, pans etc are very nice. The car is super straight down both sides. Doors open and close with ease. All glass is in nice shape. Windows roll up and down nicely. All the stainless and chrome is in very nice condition. There is one tiny ding on the trunk molding and one on the passenger side fender eye brow. Also that headlamp bezel on passenger side has a mark. These look like they can be easily be taken out and buffed back to new. Bumpers are perfect. Grilles are perfect. The trunk has a light that is removable if you are working around the car. The interior of the car is very nice, all original except for replacement carpets. The original carpet had silver threads going through it where this one doesnt but I understand that you can order the correct type. The headliner is perfect. The dash pad isnt cracked but is lifting on left and right sides. With a real good detailing the interior will come out quite nicely. The car is missing the passenger side mirror, the little piece of stainless below the vent window and the correct hubcaps. Brakes have recently been done. Car runs and drives very well. A set of skirts, wide whites, spinner hub caps and a crisp clean paint job would bring the car back to life. Drive and enjoy it the way it is and make it nicer later. These cars are a blue chip investment and are only going up in value. There are not many of these left. We have a clear Florida title and proper dealer paper work for a smooth transaction. We require a $500 non refundable deposit within 24 hours of auctions end and the balance due 3 days from auctions end. If you have under 20 feed back please contact us prior to bidding.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Airbag recall adds 85k Pontiac Vibes to tally
Fri, 13 Jun 2014The repairs needed for the faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata continue to expand. Toyota initially announced a recall of 766,300 vehicles equipped with the bad part on June 11 as a followup to a campaign from 2013. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a preliminary evaluation into five automakers who also used the component in their models. Now, NHTSA has released the official announcement of the latest Toyota recall listing 844,277 affected cars, including the newly added 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe.
While NHTSA's document didn't include a model-by-model breakdown, General Motors spokesperson Alan Adler estimated to Autoblog that roughly 85,000 Vibes in the US would be covered under the latest recall. Like the rest of the affected models, the airbag inflator could rupture in a crash causing the bag not to work correctly, possibly spraying metal fragments at the occupant.
Toyota spokesperson Cindy Knight told Autoblog that the reason for the disparity between the earlier press release and NHTSA document was that Toyota was continuing to comb through VINs to create a list of affected vehicles. The original number was an estimate of that process at the time. Scroll down to the recall report from NHTSA.
