1967 Pontiac Grand Prix on 2040-cars
Cleveland, Mississippi, United States
|
Here is a very straight southern car with original paint and absolutely no rust...NONE! I am third owner. It drives and handles like a new car and can be trusted to go anywhere. It's been kept inside since new and looks to have been pampered. It has the original paint that isn't perfect by any means but hey, it is original. All of the emblems look good with no pitting or oxidation. Front and rear bumpers are straight but the rear bumper could use a plating job. All of the wheel covers are original to the car and look nice. Also, the fender skirts are straight and solid. The seats are original with no tears and the stitching is tight. Springs in the seats are firm also with no sag. I replaced door panels only because the driver side had a very small tear. The carpet had very minimal fading but I replaced it, also. The dash is so soft that you can squeeze it without it cracking.....seats are just as soft. The wood grain on the dash is perfect! The windows (tinted) go up and down like a new car. I sent the tilt column off and had it redone with new wiring, bearings, etc. Also, I sent the AM/FM radio off and had it cleaned and tuned......it works GREAT! The front and rear speakers are new with the factory option front and rear speaker control on front dash. Door, window, and truck seals are new. I removed all hard and flexible air duct from under the dash and cleaned it. The flexible duct under the dash was not hard and dry rotted like most cars, reaffirming what I was told about it being a garage kept car. The original carpet, dash and seats imply the same.
As far as mechanical, the car is near perfect. The original motor was gone through from top to bottom 4500 miles ago. I put a new carburator on the car so I could send the original off to be rebuilt.......both will go with the car. The transmission shifts perfect with the kick down working properly. It has new A/C that blows cold and the climate control works properly. Also, it has a new radiator, new heater core, new starter, new belts and hoses, new wheel cylinders, new brakes, new shocks and springs, new front end, and new Cooper tires (including spare). The hidden headlights work perfectly and open and close evenly with no sagging. All the gauges work except the fuel gauge seems to not be working properly.....probably the float assembly in the tank. I have spared no expense to get this car mechanically sound in every way. With attention to paint, rear bumper, and fuel gauge, this car will be very near perfect. Another car that I've had my eye on for a long time is available and that's the reason for my selling. My reserve is well below what has been spent on the car. Please call me with any and all questions. If I don't answer, leave a message. 662-719-3307 Thanks for looking! |

Saturn Vue ignition switch leads to new group of GM recalls totaling 312k
Fri, 08 Aug 2014General Motors has another spate of recalls to announce. This time they cover 312,280 vehicles worldwide, including 269,041 of in the US, in a total of six campaigns. In 2014, the automaker has recalled 29,079,765 vehicles worldwide, with 25,754,356 of those in the US.
The largest among them covers 215,243 units of the Saturn Vue from 2002-2004 model years worldwide, 202,115 in the US. It's possible for the for the key to be removed even when the ignition isn't in the OFF position. The company knows of two crashes and one injury caused by this problem.

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.
