Lucerne Blue, Factory 4 Speed, Rare Cassette Player, Reasonable Reserve on 2040-cars
Stoughton, Wisconsin, United States
|
You are bidding on a real deal 1971 Pontiac Trans Am. This is a factory Lucerne Blue car and a factory 4 speed. It is well-optioned, including the very rare factory cassette player (not the 8 track). It is PHS documented and has a clear title. Great project car. It left the factory with the following options: -AM radio -front console -tilt steering -rear floor mats -heavy duty battery -cassette tape player -custom seat belts -front floor mats -Soft Ray glass (all) -custom interior
Overall, it is quite solid for it's age. It appears to have all of it's original body panels, including the fenders, hood, doors, rear quarters, floors, etc. The frame rails are solid, except for one small hole on the driver's side. The rear body panel is solid as well, but is dented in. It will need some rust repair. There are a few small areas in the floors that need patches, the center of the trunk pan, a small amount in the rear 1/4s, etc. See pics. I have many more pics available here (click on the link below): http://s73.photobucket.com/user/blue71ta/library/1971%20Trans%20Am%20For%20Sale Currently it has a 1974 Pontiac 400 short block with 6X heads, a TH400 auto trans and a 12 bolt rearend. It is NOT running or driving and will need to be trailered when picked up. Yes, someone did add the T-top cutouts in the roof at some time in the past, but a good body man should be able to replace the roof. I don't think it will need the quarters replaced, just patched. You are bidding on everything shown in the pictures, but I do have other parts available at extra cost to the winning bidder. These are parts that I have collected for this project (but were not included with it when I bought it). Some of these are: #197 round port heads, an intake crossover with heat shields, a '71 3.42 posi rearend, a factory air cleaner and functional shaker, a set of KR Rally II wheels, a blue '71 dash pad, a brand new trunk pan, a new rear body panel, a pair of tail light lenses and a rear bumper core. Maybe a few other things... Again, these are NOT included with this auction, but are available to the winning bidder. I will require a $500 deposit within 48 hours of auction end. This can be paid via PayPal. The balance will be due in cash or bank wire transfer within 4 days of auction end. Do not bid unless you can and will follow through.

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.
1969 Pontiac GTO Judge vs. 2006 GTO, which Goat gets your vote?
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Pontiac GTO was perhaps the most iconic muscle car of the '60s and early '70s. With its beefy V8 and color palette screaming for attention, it summarized in a single vehicle everything that made the era so appealing to many young people. Pontiac tried to collect just a few drops of that aura again in the 2000s with a revived GTO, but with decidedly mixed results. The performance was still there with its big V8, but the looks never quite lived up to the powertrain. Now, Generation Gap wants to know which of these Goats is the one to own.
Things are skewed immediately because the 2006 GTO here is a real ringer. It comes from famous tuner Ken Lingenfelter's collection, and it's a one-off example partially fettled by GM Performance boasting a twin-turbocharged LS2 V8 with a claimed 750 horsepower and a wide-body kit. This Goat definitely isn't what you're going to find just browsing for one to buy in the newspaper. Still, dip the throttle just a little, and this GTO pulls like a freight train. It's enough to turn the two hosts into giggling schoolboys behind the wheel.
The '69 GTO Judge here is also out of Lingenfelter's collection, but this one is all stock with a 400-cubic-inch (6.6-liter) V8 and a Ram Air hood for a claimed 366 hp. It might not have the unbelievable power of the turbo '06, but it makes up for it with style to spare.
GM doing fine at retaining Pontiac owners
Fri, 28 Oct 2011This isn't the first time we've reported positive news about General Motors retaining former Pontiac owners. Get a few more stories like this latest report from Edmund's Auto Observer, and it will mark an ongoing positive trend for GM. Edmunds.com crunched the numbers to see how well the General is hanging on to customers after shutting out the lights at Pontiac, and it found that nearly 40 percent of Pontiac owners stayed with a vehicle from a General Motors brand.
The numbers are a little lower than an earlier R.L. Polk & Company study, but Edmunds says General Motors is keeping more former Pontiac buyers than it has since 2007. Most are turning to vehicles from Chevrolet, especially during January and February of 2011, when GM incentivized Pontiac owners to stay under the umbrella. Those moves seem to have worked, and 28.1 percent of Pontiac owners trading up made the jump into a Bowtie.
Buyers that have gone elsewhere have largely stayed loyal to Domestic automakers, with Ford picking up the most conquests from Pontiac, with 9.4 percent switching. Toyota and Honda picked up 7.4 percent of the pool of former Pontiac drivers. The numbers are defying any predictions that Pontiac buyers would completely exit the General Motors fold, and have climbed up closer to parity with the retention figures of other GM brands from a 2009 low of only 16 percent retention.
