To start with, let me first
say that I understand that there is a lot of information in my ad. I also
understand that this may be boring to the person who is just looking and not
buying. However, for the person who is looking to buy and spend their hard earned
money, I feel that there is never too much information. As to myself, I am not a
dealer, just a (63) year old kid that still loves muscle cars. I am now
retired, having managed a Correctional Facility here in Maine and worked for
the Maine Department of Corrections for over (40) years. I am also a respected
member of my community. I mention this only because of the value of this car
and so that prospective buyers will have some idea as to who they are dealing
with. Also, please check out my eBay feedback which is 100% with (1,039)
transactions. Many of those have been muscle cars which I have sold to
individuals all over the country as well as As to this Grand Prix that I
am selling, it is for the wife of a person I worked with for the last 15 years
who unexpectedly passed away a few months ago. He was a true GM man and this
particular car was his baby and was the one car he always told me he would
never sell and he stuck to his word to the end. My hope is that it will be
passed on to another family who will love it and care for it as this family has
done for the past 38 years. The reality is that you simply do not find all
original, low mileage, classics like this anymore. And when you do, you need to
treat them as you would a piece of fine art. That is how I feel about all of
these classic cars (fine art) as once they are gone, they are gone forever. The 1975 GP was essentially a
carry-over from 1974, in terms of styling. The few changes made were
concentrated in the grille, which received fewer vertical slats, and in the
taillights, which were now more vertical. Okay, let's go back to 1975
for a moment. “Love Will Keep us Together” by Captain and Tennille, was Billboards
number one song and who could forget the Reds beating the Red Sox in 7 games
for the World Series? In that same year, in Rockland Maine, a local gentleman
was sitting in Moody Pontiac waiting to take home his new 1975 Grand Prix LJ.
You didn’t have to check too many boxes as the LJ model was already loaded. He
drove that car home and told his wife that he would never sell his beauty and
he kept his word all of those 38 years. This car was loved and cared for like
part of the family. Never driven in the winter or inclement weather. Yes the
wipers were used occasionally when the car was caught in a small rain burst but
that is the only time it would see rain. Obviously stored most of its life as
is indicated by the extremely low mileage, the car was actually placed on
blocks during the winter months to ensure that the spring tension would not be
effected. So for your consideration is
this one-owner, beautiful and original 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ with
the 455 4BBL engine and automatic transmission. The odometer shows 21,887 miles
which is completely original. The Grand Prix LJ has all original "rust
free" body panels and undercarriage. Including all of the standard options as well as the
sun roof, the LJ option added the following amenities to an already loaded
car: · Power Door Locks; · Power Windows; · Cordova Top; · Added Acoustic Installation; · Luggage Compartment Trim; · Lamp Group; · Cornering Lamps; · Sport Mirrors; · LH Visor Mirror; · RH Visor Mirror; · Litter Container; · Custom Finned Wheel Covers; · Spare Tire Cover; · Bumper Guards. Normally, this is where I go into all of the casting
numbers and dates to prove originality or not as well as comments on the overall
condition of different areas of the car. However, I will not waste your time with
this Grand Prix LJ. Virtually all areas and major components are in very good
to excellent original condition including hoses, trim, rims and tires. My Comments: Are you serious! I personally have never seen a more original, one-owner classic muscle car than this 1975 Pontiac Grand Prix LJ. Enough said. Look at the photos and video and see for yourself. If you are looking for a winter beater, this is not for you. If you are looking for a real classic, this car is definitely for you.
Also, please don't forget that any and all original documentation when and if found will be sent to the new owner ASAP. As
with all of the cars that I sell on eBay, the easiest way for a prospective
buyer to get a sense for my cars is with tons of information and loads of
photos and a video. Feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to
answer them and respond ASAP. Here is the link to the video:

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.
2008-2009 Pontiac G8 recalled over airbag concern
Mon, 07 Nov 2011General 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.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
