1976 Firebird TransAm HO 455 correct Vin# WX stamped block, correct Vin# stamped 4spd Trans, correct stamped
Posi-Trac Rear end-all match correct to its (pictured) build sheet, 45k original miles. Car was meticulously
kept and loved by its original owner. Clearly a no hit no rust car that has an approx 5yr old $15k paint job. It
is absolutely stunning to see the paint in the light...they didn't look like this in 76. Look and listen to how
the doors open and close in the video below. Interior and trunk equally stunning. The rear dash is even original
(one speaker!) I purchased this car in 2013 from SW, owner of Elite Motorsports in Austin as a correct, no hit, no
rust car with 42k original miles. You see tons of "factory 455's listed but know that of the approx 47,000 T/A's
built in 76 only 7100 were HO 455's.
Nothing has been done to the car that cannot be undone to return to stock. Factory wheels still fit if that is your
preference.
Detroit Speed leaf springs and front coil-overs along with custom wheels. Drilled/slotted rotors. Handles,corners
and stops beautifully and quite different than a stock T/A from the 70's. View from the back with the wide tires
is awesome. I've been asked if it is mini-tubbed-its is the stock body.
I purchased an upper end package from Butler as they are the utmost authority on Pontiac performance. Edelbrock
Aluminum heads, a complete Lunati/CC roller cam and roller valve train, QF billet carb, Edelbrock intake, Doug's
coated headers into a stainless exhaust were all professionally installed by Elite in Austin. I wanted the car to
stay completely street-able, dependable and have a very aggressive sound at idle and hit like a hammer on
acceleration. I wanted the temperature totally controlled and had the largest Griffin aluminum radiator made that
would fit in the stock mounts- it never goes above opening temp. A/C blows cold and she runs on pump gas. If you
think it sounds good in the video you should hear it person-it never fails to turn heads. Everyone I contacted
said there was no way to retain the shaker hood scoop with the top end. I found the fabrication guy that could-no
mods to hood. Point being details were sweated on this car. I have never seen a second gen CLOSE to this car.
All adult owned, not raced on street or strip, no track days, no smoke, never left outside. I am a direct shot
from the Austin airport.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
'67 Chevy Corvair convertible vs. '86 Pontiac Fiero in cult classic showdown
Fri, 22 Aug 2014Every few a decades, the folks running General Motors lose their minds briefly try to market a car that public doesn't see coming and often aren't ready for. In the '60s there was the rear-engine, air-cooled Chevrolet Corvair, then the mid-engine Pontiac Fiero in the '80s and the completely bizarre Chevy SSR in the 2000s. What all of these had in common was that they bucked the trend for American models of their era, for better or worse. The latest episode of Generation Gap tasked the hosts with finding two cult classic vehicles to choose between; they came come up with two of these quirky products from The General.
On the classic side, there's a 1967 Chevy Corvair Monza convertible. Being from later in the production run, it wears slightly more aerodynamic styling than the earlier, boxier examples. Hanging out back is an air-cooled, 2.7-liter flat-six pumping out a robust 95 horsepower. In the other corner is the somewhat more modern 1986 Pontiac Fiero SE with a mid-mounted, 2.5-liter "Iron Duke" four-cylinder, an engine nearly ubiquitous in GM cars of the '80s.
Judging by when they were new, the Corvair was far more successful than the Fiero with over 1.8 million sold. Of course, Ralph Nader's book Unsafe at Any Speed kind of poisoned the well, even if the poor safety reputation wasn't entirely deserved. The Fiero on the other hand only lasted for a few model years before shuffling off, but it eventually got its own performance boost with the V6 version and rather attractive GT models. Check them both out in the video and tell us in Comments which you want in your garage.
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. Dealers are checking the parts and replacing the ignition cylinder and key set, if necessary.
Next is 72,826 models worldwide (48,059 vehicles in the US) of the 2013 Cadillac ATS four-door sedan, 2013 Buick Encore and 2013 Chevy Trax in Canada. It's possible that the for lap belt pretensioner to retract but not to lock, which could increase occupant movement during a crash. Both front, outboard lap belt pretensioners are being replaced, and a stop-sale is in effect on unsold models until the problem is repaired. There are no known crashes or injuries, though.
