1970 Pontiac Catalina 400 - 24,400 original miles. Runs great! This 4-door car came with an old house we're renovating and has been stored in the garage for several years. It belonged to a woman who died at 92 a couple years ago. The son sold the house and car together. We talked to a neighbor who would come over to start it for her just to let it run a few times a year. New battery, air filter & radiator hoses. Oil, brake and transmission fluids are clean and zero leaks on the ground. Engine sounds great, no ticks or knocking. The last tag on the plate is dated 1997, so we're assuming that's the last year she drove it. We have the title which is clean and in our possession. We also have the original owner's manual which is in perfect shape as well as the invoice from the dealership. Paint is original (some paint discoloration on hood, roof and trunk), chrome is bright, virtually no rust and even air in the tires. For a Michigan car enduring the winters and road salt, you'd expect much more wear and rust, but it's in phenominal shape for its age. The interior we'd classify as average. There was a home-restorative job on the driver's seat (see picture) with denim. There are a couple small splits in the driverside seat back. The rear back dash would need some TLC as it most likely got sun scorched and shrunk over time. Car is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end auction upon local sale. Located in Ludington, MI, buyer would be responsible for pickup. $300 security deposit via PayPal due within 24 hours to hold the purchase. Do not hesitate to contact me with any other questions.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."

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.
